Abstract excerpt
DNA damage is the driving force for mutation and genomic instability, which can both lead to cell death or carcinogenesis. DNA double strand breaks are detected and processed in part by the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 protein complex. Although the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex is essential, several spontaneous mutations have been noted in various cancers. One of these mutations, within a conserved motif of Rad50, resulted in an...
