Discovering molecular pathways that sensitize cells to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)- trapping inhibitors is important for anti-cancer therapy. Here, the authors report that inactivation of the CHD6 chromatin remodelling enzyme sensitizes cells to PARP inhibitors via reduced abasic site repair, PARP-1 accumulation on chromatin, and replication stress.
