Cell biology: Holding sisters for repair
Tatsuya Hirano1
Abstract
When a DNA molecule breaks, its complementary copy can be used as a template for repair. A familiar protein complex is recruited to the damaged site, keeping it close to the undamaged copy.
Before a cell divides, it must replicate its DNA, producing two identical copies of each chromosome, known as sister chromatids. When one of the sister chromatids suffers a break that affects both of its DNA strands, it is mended by 'homologous recombination'.
