The P. furiosus Mre11/Rad50 complex facilitates 5’ strand resection by the HerA helicase and NurA nuclease at a DNA double-strand break

The Mre11/Rad50 complex has been implicated in the early steps of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair through homologous recombination in several organisms. However, the enzymatic properties of this complex are incompatible with the generation of 3’ single-stranded DNA for recombinase loading and s...
