CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Yku80 and its role in DNA repair

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most deleterious lesions of DNA and they are repaired by means of two main mechanisms: homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ). These mechanisms are regulated throughout the cell cycle being HR restricted to the S/G2 phase...
