"USP36 interacts with PrimPol via its USP domain."

sparser
"Next, we studied how HU treatment promoted the interaction between USP36 and PrimPol."

sparser
"On the other hand, in cancer cells, higher expression of USP36 might render cancer cells resistant to replication stress, while lower USP36 level or inhibition of USP36-PrimPol axis might sensitize cancer cells to genotoxic insults."

sparser
"Overall, these results suggest that USP36 interacts with PrimPol at stressed replication forks in cells."

sparser
"Cancer cells generally have higher replication stress, and the USP36-PrimPol axis might be required to adapt to this stress."

sparser
"Few dots that represent the interaction of USP36 and PrimPol were observed in the nuclei in unstressed cells."

sparser
"Moreover, treatment with the replication-damaging agent hydroxyurea (HU) promoted the interaction between USP36 and PrimPol (Figure xref , D)."

sparser
"In light of the above findings, we tested whether USP36 might physically interact with PrimPol in cells."

sparser
"Next, we tested whether these two lysine residues (K329R and K338R) were essential for the regulation of USP36-PrimPol interaction."

sparser
"We further confirmed the close interaction between USP36 and PrimPol by proximity ligation assay (PLA)."

sparser
"In ovarian cancer tissues, USP36 overexpression is observed to positively correlate with the level of PrimPol expression and poor prognosis, indicating that the USP36-PrimPol axis may play an important regulatory mechanism in the cancer pathogenesis and treatment."
