Homology-directed Fanconi anemia pathway cross-link repair is dependent on DNA replication
2011
Homologous recombination (also termed homology-directed repair, HDR) is a major pathway for the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) in mammalian cells. Cells from individuals with Fanconi anemia (FA) are characterized by extreme ICL sensitivity, but their reported defect in HDR is mild. Here we examined ICL-induced HDR using a GFP reporter and observed a profound defect in ICL-induced HDR in FA cells, but only when the reporter could replicate.
