Lingering single-strand breaks trigger Rad51-independent homology-directed repair of collapsed replication forks in polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase mutant of fission yeast

2017-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The DNA repair enzyme polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP) protects genome integrity by restoring ligatable 5’-phosphate and 3’-hydroxyl termini at single-strand breaks (SSBs). In humans, PNKP mutations underlie the neurological disease known as MCSZ, but these individuals are not predisposed for cancer, implying effective alternative repair pathways in dividing cells. Homology-directed repa...
