Abstract
ABSTRACT Somatic mutations in skin cancers are highly enriched at binding sites for CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF). We have discovered that CTCF binding alters the DNA structure to render it more susceptible to UV damage. Elevated UV damage formation at CTCF binding sites, in conjunction with subsequent repair inhibition, promotes UV mutagenesis.
