Background: The 9-1-1 complex mediates checkpoint signaling and repair. Results: HUS1 functional residues for clamp formation, DNA contacts, and protein-protein association were identified. Conclusion: HUS1 mediates checkpoint signaling-independent effector functions. Significance: Learning how the 9-1-1 complex contributes to both checkpoint signaling and DNA repair is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying a robust DNA damage response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
