Research Abstract |
A number of anti-cancer agents, including radiotherapy, induce DNA damage, arrest DNA replication, and thereby induce apoptosis. Therefore, functional analysis of DNA repair factors may contribute to improvement of anti-cancer treatments. For this functional analysis, we have developed unique reverse genetic model systems, the avian somatic cell line (DT40) and the Medaka fish. We have revealed the role of ubiquitylation, some DNA polymerases, and BRCA1/2 in DNA damage responses.
