Ubiquitination of the CMG helicase triggers replisome disassembly, ensuring genome integrity. Here, the authors show that the deubiquitinase USP37 preserves replisomes during S and G2 phase by binding and deubiquitinating CMG. USP37 is vital in cells expressing oncoproteins which dysregulate DNA replication.
