Abstract excerpt
Naked and protein-blocked DNA ends occur naturally during immune cell development, meiosis, and at telomeres as well as from aborted topoisomerase reactions, collapsed replication forks, and other stressors. Damaged DNA ends are dangerous in cells and if left unrepaired can lead to genomic rearrangement, loss of genetic information, and eventually cancer. Mre11 is part of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex that...
