Model for MMS-induced strand breaks and DNA repair in S. pombe. As diagrammed, BER and NER can repair potentially lethal 3MeA lesions. BER generates DNA strand breaks during the repair process, and these can be substrates for Rhp51-dependent recombinational repair. Alternatively, MMS can induce DNA strand breaks by a mechanism whose molecular details are unknown.
