Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae mre11Delta mutants are profoundly deficient in double-strand break (DSB) repair, indicating that the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 protein complex plays a central role in the cellular response to DNA DSBs. In this study, we examined the role of the complex in homologous recombination, the primary mode of DSB repair in yeast. We measured survival in synchronous cultures following irradiation and scored...
