The Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome Protein Is Essential for Mre11 Phosphorylation upon DNA Damage
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
The Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), a chromosomal instability disorder, is characterized in part by cellular hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. Repair of DNA double-strand breaks by radiation is dependent on a multifunctional complex containing Rad50, Mre11, and the NBS1 gene product, p95 (NBS protein, nibrin). The role of p95 in these repair processes is unknown. Here it is demonstrated that Mre11 is...
