Journal ArticleDOI

Structural biology of Rad50 ATPase: ATP-driven conformational control in DNA double-strand break repair and the ABC-ATPase superfamily.

TL;DR: Unified molecular mechanisms for ATP-driven cooperativity and allosteric control of ABC-ATPases in DSBR, membrane transport, and chromosome condensation by SMC proteins are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Rad50 zinc-hook is a structure joining Mre11 complexes in DNA recombination and repair

TL;DR: Data support an architectural role for the Rad50 coiled coils in forming metal-mediated bridging complexes between two DNA-binding heads that have appropriate lengths and conformational properties to link sister chromatids in homologous recombination and DNA ends in non-homologous end-joining.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Biochemistry and Interaction Architecture of the DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Mre11 Nuclease and Rad50-ATPase

TL;DR: To clarify functions of the Mre11/Rad50 (MR) complex in DNA double-strand break repair, crystal structures are reported, revealing a protein phosphatase-like, dimanganese binding domain capped by a unique domain controlling active site access.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mre11 dimers coordinate DNA end bridging and nuclease processing in double-strand-break repair.

TL;DR: Results show how Mre11 dimerization and nuclease activities initiate repair of DSBs and collapsed replication forks, as well as provide a molecular foundation for understanding cancer-causing Mre 11 mutations in ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD).
