Yeast Tdp1 regulates the fidelity of nonhomologous end joining.
Tyrosyl-DNA-phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) can disjoin peptides covalently bound to DNA. We assessed the role of Tdp1 in nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and found that linear DNA molecules with 5' extensions showed a high frequency of misrepair in Deltatdp1 cells. The joining errors in Deltatdp1 cells were predominantly 2-4 nucleotide insertions. Ends with 3' extensions or blunt ends did not show ...
متن کاملProofreading Activity of DNA Polymerase Pol2 Mediates 3′-End Processing during Nonhomologous End Joining in Yeast
Genotoxic agents that cause double-strand breaks (DSBs) often generate damage at the break termini. Processing enzymes, including nucleases and polymerases, must remove damaged bases and/or add new bases before completion of repair. Artemis is a nuclease involved in mammalian nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), but in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the nucleases and polymerases involved in NHEJ pathway...
متن کاملRequirement for the SRS2 DNA helicase gene in non-homologous end joining in yeast.
Mitotic cells experience double-strand breaks (DSBs) from both exogenous and endogenous sources. Since unrepaired DSBs can result in genome rearrangements or cell death, cells mobilize multiple pathways to repair the DNA damage. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mitotic cells preferentially use a homologous recombination repair pathway. However, when no significant homology to the DSB ends...
متن کاملMultiple end joining mechanisms repair a chromosomal DNA break in fission yeast.
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is an important mechanism for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has a conserved set of NHEJ factors including Ku, DNA ligase IV, Xlf1, and Pol4. Their roles in chromosomal DSB repair have not been directly characterized before. Here we used HO endonuclease to create a specific chromosomal DSB in fission yeast...
متن کاملNej1p, a cell type-specific regulator of nonhomologous end joining in yeast
Mutant yeast strains lacking the silencing proteins Sir2p, Sir3p, or Sir4p have a defect in a DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway, called nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Mutations in sir genes also lead to the simultaneous expression of a and alpha mating type information, thus generating a nonmating haploid cell type with many properties shared with a/alpha diploids. We addressed wh...
