DNA repair: Tails of histones lost
André Nussenzweig1 & Tanya Paull2
Abstract
A double-stranded break in DNA can profoundly destabilize a cell's genome. But how does the cell recognize the damage and halt division until it can be fixed? The answer lies in the proteins that package and unravel DNA.
DNA damage induces cell-cycle checkpoints that transiently arrest progression through the cell-division cycle. This delay gives the DNA-repair machinery sufficient time to fix genomic damage before the cell cycle resumes.
