Resection of DNA double-strand breaks activates Mre11–Rad50–Nbs1- and Rad9–Hus1–Rad1-dependent mechanisms that redundantly promote ATR checkpoint activation and end processing in Xenopus egg extracts

Abstract Sensing and processing of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are vital to genome stability. DSBs are primarily detected by the ATM checkpoint pathway, where the Mre11–Rad50–Nbs1 (MRN) complex serves as the DSB sensor. Subsequent DSB end resection activates the ATR checkpoint pathway, where rep...
