Abstract excerpt
How a cell chooses between nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) to repair a double-strand break (DSB) is a central and largely unanswered question. Although there is evidence of competition between HR and NHEJ, because of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK)'s cellular abundance, it seems that there must be more to the repair pathway choice than direct competition. Both a...
