Abstract excerpt
Mre11/Rad50 complexes in all organisms function in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. In budding yeast, genetic evidence suggests that the Sae2 protein is essential for the processing of hairpin DNA intermediates and meiotic double-strand breaks by Mre11/Rad50 complexes, but the biochemical basis of this functional relationship is not known. Here we demonstrate that recombinant Sae2 binds DNA and exhibits...
