Abstract excerpt
The Nbs1 complex is an evolutionarily conserved multisubunit nuclease composed of the Mre11, Rad50, and Nbs1 proteins. Hypomorphic mutations in the NBS1 or MRE11 genes in humans result in conditions characterized by DNA damage sensitivity, cell cycle checkpoint deficiency, and high cancer incidence. The equivalent complex in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Xrs2p complex) has been implicated in DNA...
