Abstract excerpt
The yeast Sae2 protein, known as CtIP in mammals, once phosphorylated at Ser267, stimulates the endonuclease activity of the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex to cleave DNA ends that possess hairpin structures or protein blocks, such as the Spo11 transesterase or trapped topoisomerases. Stimulation of the Mre11 endonuclease by Sae2 depends on a Rad50-Sae2 interaction, but the mechanism by which this is achieved...
