The enzymology of the process is discussed, followed by studies on DSB repair in living cells, and a historical context for the current view of HR is provided and how DSBs are processed during HR as well as interactions with other D SB repair pathways are described.
Abstract
In this review, we discuss the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using a homologous DNA sequence (i.e., homologous recombination [HR]), focusing mainly on yeast and mammals. We provide a historical context for the current view of HR and describe how DSBs are processed during HR as well as interactions with other DSB repair pathways. We discuss the enzymology of the process, followed by studies on DSB repair in living cells. Whenever possible, we cite both original articles and reviews to aid the reader for further studies.

Relationship between thyroid tumor radiosensitivity and nuclear localization of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit

TL;DR: Immunofluorescent staining showed that native DNA-PKcs was localized largely in the cytoplasm and only rarely localized in the nuclei of radiation-resistant thyroid cancer cells, whereas in radiation-sensitive cancer cells a 175-kDa cleaved C-terminal fragment of DNA- PKCS was localized mainly inside the nuclea.

Inhibiting POLQ-mediated alternative NHEJ enhances CRISPR/Cas9 mediated precise genome editing in CHO cells

TL;DR: In this paper , the DNA polymerase θ (POLθ), which is essential for Alt-EJ, was shown to significantly increase the knock-in efficiency in CHO cells via eGFP reporter system and does not affect the normal growth and proliferation of cells.

Centriolar subdistal appendages promote double strand break repair through homologous recombination

TL;DR: It is shown that centrosomes presence is required to fully activate recombination, specifically to completely license its initial step, the so-called DNA end resection, and loss of centrosome upregulates the non-homologous end-joining repair pathway.

MND1 enables homologous recombination in somatic cells primarily outside the context of replication

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate that the meiotic recombination co-factor MND1 facilitates the repair of DSBs in somatic cells, where it stimulates DNA repair through homologous recombination.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors combined molecular dynamics simulations and experimental measurements to elucidate the molecular origin of the activity enhancement by these mutations, and showed that these mutations increase the positive charge density in the DNA-binding region, thereby enhancing the electrostatic attraction with DNA.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: The type II prokaryotic CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas adaptive immune system has been shown to facilitate RNA-guided site-specific DNA cleavage as discussed by the authors.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: Two different type II CRISPR/Cas systems are engineered and it is demonstrated that Cas9 nucleases can be directed by short RNAs to induce precise cleavage at endogenous genomic loci in human and mouse cells, demonstrating easy programmability and wide applicability of the RNA-guided nuclease technology.

Efficient genome editing in zebrafish using a CRISPR-Cas system

TL;DR: It is shown that the CRISPR-Cas system functions in vivo to induce targeted genetic modifications in zebrafish embryos with efficiencies similar to those obtained using zinc finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases.
