Protein phosphatase PP6 is required for homology-directed repair of DNA double-strand breaks
1 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most lethal lesions associated with genome stability which, when destabilized, predisposes organs to cancers. DSBs are primarily fixed either with little fidelity by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair or with high fidelity by homology-directed repair (HDR). The phosphorylated form of H2AX on serine 139 (γ-H2AX) is a marker of DSBs. In this study, we explored if...
