Abstract excerpt
In a search for genes involved in cell-type-dependent chromosome instability, we have found a role for NEJ1, a regulator of nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), in cells that survive in the absence of telomerase. In yeast, NHEJ is regulated by mating-type status through NEJ1, which is repressed in a/alpha cells. For efficient NHEJ, NEJ1 is required as part of a complex with LIF1 and DNL4, which catalyzes DNA...
