Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: DNA-binding protein that accumulates at DNA double- strand breaks (DSBs) following DNA damage and promotes DNA resection and homologous recombination (PubMed:29042561). Serves as a sensor of DNA damage: binds DNA with a strong preference for DNA substrates that mimic structures generated at stalled replication forks, and anchors RBBP8/CtIP to DSB sites to promote DNA end resection and ensuing homologous recombination repair (PubMed:29042561). Inhibits non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) (PubMed:29042561). Required for the dynamic movement of AURKA at the centrosomes and spindle apparatus during the cell cycle (PubMed:20596670). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20596670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29042561}.
