Abstract excerpt
The non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA recombination is important for genomic stability in animal cells, since the absence of Ku70, Ku80, Lig4 or Xrcc4 results in non-reciprocal translocation and chromosome fragmentation. The role of LIG4 in the genomic instability of Candida albicans has been analyzed. We have found that both cell transformation and 5'-fluoroorotic acid selection steps used to...
