Abstract excerpt
Nijmegen breakage syndrome arises from hypomorphic mutations in the NBN gene encoding nibrin, a component of the MRE11/RAD50/nibrin (MRN) complex. In mammalian cells, the MRN complex localizes to the nucleus, where it plays multiple roles in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks. In the current study, sequences in mouse nibrin required to direct the nuclear localization of the MRN complex were...
