Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ionizing irradiation causes DNA double strand breaks, which can lead to cell death if unrepaired or misrepaired. In the present study, to identify a novel factor promoting HR at the step of DSB end resection, we carried out a screening experiment. Importantly, our analysis demonstrated that novel HR factors, MEC1 and REC1, which are originally involved in transcription, promote the initiation of HR by activating the step of DSB end resection. This finding provides us important information regarding the maintenance of genome stability after ionizing irradiation.
