Abstract excerpt
We recently described a CHO DSBR mutant belonging to the XRCC7 complementation group (XR-C2) that has the interesting phenotype of being radiosensitive, but having only a modest defect in VDJ recombination. This cell line expresses only slightly reduced levels of DNA-PKcs but has undetectable DNA-PK activity. Limited sequence analyses of DNA-PKcs transcripts from XR-C2 revealed a point mutation that results in an...
