High impact information on XRCC6

  • To investigate the distinctive as well as redundant roles of these two repair pathways, we analyzed the mutants RAD54(-/-), KU70(-/-) and RAD54(-/-)/KU70(-/-), generated from the chicken B-cell line DT40 [1].
  • 53BP1 contributes to survival of cells irradiated with X-ray during G1 without Ku70 or Artemis [2].
 

Biological context of XRCC6

  • Genetic analyses confirm this suggestion as we have demonstrated an epistatic relationship between 53BP1 and the NHEJ genes, Ku70 and Artemis, but not with Rad54, a gene essential for repair of DSBs by homologous recombination [3].
