Gene inactivation in the citrus pathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata defect at the Ku70 locus associated with non-homologous end joining
2011-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Low frequency of targeted gene disruption in filamentous fungi has been attributed to the predominance of ectopic integration that is controlled by a non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair mechanism. It has been shown in a number of fungi that suppression of NHEJ by inactivating the yeast Ku70 or Ku80 homolog facilitates homologous recombination, thereby enhancing the frequency of gene targeting. A Ku70 gene...
