Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DNA double strand break (DSB) repair by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) requires the DNA end-binding heterodimer Yku70p-Yku80p and the ligase Dnl4p associated with its cofactor Lif1p. NHEJ efficiency is down-regulated in MATa/MATalpha cells relative to MATa or MATalpha cells, but the mechanism of this mating type regulation is unknown. Here we report the identification of...
