Testing predictions of the double-strand break repair model relating to crossing over in Mammalian cells.
In yeast, four-stranded, biparental "joint molecules" containing a pair of Holliday junctions are demonstrated intermediates in the repair of meiotic double-strand breaks (DSBs). Genetic and physical evidence suggests that when joint molecules are resolved by the cutting of each of the two Holliday junctions, crossover products result at least most of the time. The double-strand break repair (D...
متن کاملMechanisms of double-strand break repair in somatic mammalian cells.
DNA chromosomal DSBs (double-strand breaks) are potentially hazardous DNA lesions, and their accurate repair is essential for the successful maintenance and propagation of genetic information. Two major pathways have evolved to repair DSBs: HR (homologous recombination) and NHEJ (non-homologous end-joining). Depending on the context in which the break is encountered, HR and NHEJ may either comp...
متن کاملHuman Cell Assays for Synthesis-Dependent Strand Annealing and Crossing over During Double-Strand Break Repair
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most deleterious types of lesions to the genome. Synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) is thought to be a major pathway of DSB repair, but direct tests of this model have only been conducted in budding yeast and Drosophila To better understand this pathway, we developed an SDSA assay for use in human cells. Our results support the hypothesis ...
متن کاملDouble strand break repair.
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most dangerous form of DNA damage and can lead to death, mutation, or malignant transformation. Mammalian cells use three major pathways to repair DSBs: homologous recombination (HR), classical nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ), and alternative end joining (A-NHEJ). Cells choose among the pathways by interactions of the pathways with CtIP and 53BP1. HR i...

ownloade C regulates a myriad of genes controlling cell proliferation, metabolism, differentiation, and apoptosis. lso controls the expression of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair genes and therefore may be a ial target for anticancer therapy to sensitize cancer cells to DNA damage or prevent genetic instability. report, we studied whether MYC binds to DSB repair gene promoters and modulates...
