Synopsis

Homologous recombination (HR) is the preferred pathway to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) during the S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle and represents the major route for DSB repair in budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HR takes place in a chromatin context, and both ATP-dependent nucleosome disruption and histone modifications contribute to chromatin remodeling during HR. These chromatin-remodeling events occur at different points during repair by HR and influence the execution of discrete steps in the HR pathway.

Introduction

The nucleosomal organization of chromatin presents a formidable barrier to the access of regulatory factors to all DNA-mediated processes. To surmount this barrier, chromatin can be remodeled to expose key factor binding sites. Chromatin remodeling is classified into two broad categories and is mediated by...
