Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by ionizing radiation enforce cells to die, if unrepaired; while if misrepaired, DSBs may cause malignant transformation. The DSB repair system predominant in mammals requires DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). Previously, we identified the apoptosis susceptibility gene Radiation-induced apoptosis 1 (Rapop1) on mouse chromosome 16. The STS/A (STS) allele at Rapop1 leads...
