Damaged DNA is often targeted to nuclear pore complexes for repair. Here, the authors show that kinesin-14 mediates this process ensuring error-prone repair, while perinuclear telomere attachment licenses damaged telomeric loci for this repair and kinesin-14 blocks senescence in the absence of telomerase.
