Abstract excerpt
Although tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1) is capable of removing blocked 3' termini from DNA double-strand break ends, it is uncertain whether this activity plays a role in double-strand break repair. To address this question, affinity-tagged TDP1 was overexpressed in human cells and purified, and its interactions with end joining proteins were assessed. Ku and DNA-PKcs inhibited TDP1-mediated processing of...
