Homologous recombinational repair of double-strand breaks in yeast is enhanced by MAT heterozygosity through yKU-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). NHEJ in yeast chromosomes has been observed only when HR is blocked, as in rad52 mutants or in the absence of a homologous repair template. We detected yKu70p-dependent imprecise NHEJ at a frequency of approximately 0.1% in HR-competent Rad+ haploid cells. Interestingly, yku70 mutation increased...
