Turning end-joining upside down in mitosis

Abstract

How cells deal with DNA breaks during mitosis is not well understood. While canonical non-homologous end-joining predominates in interphase, it is inhibited in mitosis to avoid telomere fusions. DNA polymerase θ mediated end-joining appears to be repressed in interphase, but promotes break repair in mitosis. The nature and induction time of breaks might determine their fate during mitosis.
