Central Role for the XRCC1 BRCT I Domain in Mammalian DNA Single-Strand Break Repair
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
The DNA single-strand break repair (SSBR) protein XRCC1 is required for genetic stability and for embryonic viability. XRCC1 possesses two BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) protein interaction domains, denoted BRCT I and II. BRCT II is required for SSBR during G(1) but is dispensable for this process during S/G(2) and consequently for cell survival following DNA alkylation. Little is known about BRCT I, but this...
