CdtB-induced DNA lesion. CdtB primarily shows SSB activity which produces a DSB when the nicked strand is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. Homologous recombination mechanism is exclusively required for the repair. The SSB also produces an aberrantly terminated mRNA molecule. The mRNA decay pathway is required for the response and associated with the cellular distension.
