Minimal Resection Takes Place during Break-Induced Replication Repair of Collapsed Replication Forks and Is Controlled by Strand Invasion
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
A natural and frequently occurring replication problem is generated by the action of topoisomerase I (Top1). Trapping of Top1 in a cleavage complex on the DNA generates a protein-linked DNA nick (PDN), which upon DNA replication can be transformed into a one-ended double-strand break (DSB). Break-induced replication (BIR) has been recognized as a critical repair mechanism of one-ended DSBs. Here, we have...
