Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50-Mre11-Xrs2 complex plays a central role in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks. Rad50 has a globular ATPase head domain with a long coiled-coil tail. DNA binding by Rad50 is ATP-dependent and the Rad50-Mre11-Xrs2 complex possesses DNA unwinding and endonuclease activities that are regulated by ATP. Here we have examined the role of the Rad50 Walker type A ATP...
