Super killer (SKI) complex is a well-known cytoplasmic 3' to 5' mRNA decay complex that functions with the exosome to degrade excessive and aberrant mRNAs. Recently, SKIV2L, the 3' to 5' RNA helicase of the human SKI (hSKI) complex has been implicated in the degradation of nuclear non-coding RNAs escaping to the cytoplasm. Here, we show that hSKI is present in the nucleus, on chromatin and in particular at telomeres during the G2 cell cycle phase. In cells, SKIV2L prevents telomeric loss, and DNA damage response activation, and its absence leads to DNA-RNA hybrid-mediated telomere fragility. Moreover, we demonstrate that purified hSKI complex preferentially unwinds telomeric DNA-RNA hybrids in vitro. Taken together, our results provide a nuclear function of the hSKI complex in overcoming replication stress caused by aberrant processing of telomeric DNA-RNA hybrids and thus maintaining telomere stability.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
