Rpd3L and Hda1 histone deacetylases facilitate repair of broken forks by promoting sister chromatid cohesion
Abstract
Double strand breaks (DSBs) are preferentially repaired by sister-chromatid recombination (SCR) to maintain genome stability. Here, the authors reveal a role for histone deacetylate (HDAC) complexes favouring the repair of replication related DSBs by facilitating cohesin loading.
