Abstract
Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) provides cancer cells a mechanism to sustain replicative immortality. Here, the authors identify KDM2A as a molecular vulnerability in ALT-dependent cancer cells and demonstrate its role in the resolution of ALT-specific telomere clusters via recruitment of SENP6.
