Functional relationships of FANCC to homologous recombination, translesion synthesis, and BLM

Abstract excerpt

Some of the restarting events of stalled replication forks lead to sister chromatid exchange (SCE) as a result of homologous recombination (HR) repair with crossing over. The rate of SCE is elevated by the loss of BLM helicase or by a defect in translesion synthesis (TLS). We found that spontaneous SCE levels were elevated approximately 2-fold in chicken DT40 cells deficient in Fanconi anemia (FA) gene FANCC. To...
