Interplay of Mre11 nuclease with Dna2 plus Sgs1 in Rad51-dependent recombinational repair.

The Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 complex initiates IR repair by binding to the end of a double-strand break, resulting in 5' to 3' exonuclease degradation creating a single-stranded 3' overhang competent for strand invasion into the unbroken chromosome. The nuclease(s) involved are not well under...
