Abstract excerpt
The Ku heterodimer binds to the ends of double-stranded breaks (DSBs) in DNA, and is involved in nonhomologous end joining. HDF1 and HDF2, which have been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as homologues of the Ku70 and Ku80 proteins of mammals, reduce radiosensitivity only when homologous recombination repair is impaired and, therefore, affect DSB repair via nonhomologous recombination. Although it has been...
