Preserving genome integrity in human cells via DNA double-strand break repair.

abstract：:GPR15 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that serves for an HIV coreceptor and was also recently found as a novel homing receptor for T-cells implicated in colitis. We show that GPR15 undergoes a constitutive endocytosis in the absence of ligand. The endocytosis was clathrin dependent and partially depende...

abstract：:Of the three structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes, Smc5/6 remains the most poorly understood. Genetic studies have shown that Smc5/6 mutants are defective in homologous recombination (HR), and consistent with this, Smc5/6 is enriched at lesions. However, Smc5/6 is essential for viability, but HR is no...
