Abstract excerpt
In mammalian cells, the Ku heterodimer is involved in DNA double-strand-break recognition and repair. We have established in yeast a connection between Ku activity and DNA double-strand-break damage repair, and a connection between Ku activity and commitment to DNA replication. We generated double-stranded DNA breaks in yeast cells in vivo by expressing a restriction endonuclease and have shown that yeast mutants...
