Figure 2. Requirement for Sgs1 helicase and Dna2 nuclease activities.
a, The dna2-D657A (DA) mutant and mutant MRX harboring mre11-3 (11-3) were tested with 3′-labeled substrate. Symbol: HD, heat-denaturation of DNA.
b, The dna2-K1080E (KE) and sgs1-K706A (KA) mutants were tested.
c, Srs2 helicase, Fen1 nuclease, or their combination failed to substitute for Sgs1 and Dna2. Symbol: DA, dna2-D657A.
d, RAD27 over-expression (YEp24) failed to suppress the end resection defect of dna2Δ cells. Initial resection next to the break (MAT probe) and long-range resection (FEN2 probe) were analyzed6, as depicted (i). A set of primary data and the mean values ±SD from three independent experiments are presented (ii).
