Abstract excerpt
The cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is initiated by the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex that has structural and catalytic functions. MRX association at DSBs is counteracted by Rif2, which is known to interact with Rap1 that binds telomeric DNA through two tandem Myb-like domains. Whether and how Rap1 acts at DSBs is unknown. Here we show that Rif2 inhibits MRX association to DSBs in a manner...
