High impact information on NBN

  • Nbs1 is essential for DNA repair by homologous recombination in higher vertebrate cells [1].
  • The disruption of Nbs1 reduces gene conversion and sister chromatid exchanges, similar to other HR-deficient mutants [1].
  • Here, we show in vivo direct evidence that NBS1 recruits the hMRE11 nuclease complex into the cell nucleus and leads to the formation of foci by utilizing different functions from several domains [2].
  • The impairment of the HR pathway, which otherwise leads to cell death, may be somewhat substituted by an alternative mechanism such as the Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 pathway, resulting in reduced frequencies of SCEs and CAs [3].
