Abstract excerpt
DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), composed of Ku70, Ku80, and the catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), is involved in repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs) by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). Certain proteins involved in NHEJ are also involved in DSB repair by homologous recombination (HR). To test the effects of DNA-PKcs on DSB-induced HR, we integrated neo direct repeat HR substrates carrying the I-SceI...
