The p120 catenin partner Kaiso is a DNA methylation-dependent transcriptional repressor

Article Abstract:

Kaiso, a p120 catenin partner, has been found to be a DNA methylation-dependent transcriptional repressor. A novel mammalian DNA binding activity that must have at least two symmetrically methylate CpG dinucleotides in its recognition sequence, preferably in the sequence 5'CGCG is described. Zinc-finger motifs appear to be responsible for DNA binding.

Identification and purification of two distinct complexes containing the five RAD51 paralogs

Article Abstract:

Identification and purification has been carried out for two distinct complexes containing the five RAD51 paralogs. The extreme sensitivity of paralog-defective cell lines to cross-linking agents has been found to be traceable to defects in the processing of incised cross links and to resulting failure to start recombinational repair at certain sites.

Statistical Data Included, DNA repair, Genomes, Genetic recombination
