Structure-forming CAG/CTG repeats interfere with gap repair to cause repeat expansions and chromosome breaks

Erica J. Polleys, Isabella S. Del Priore, Marjorie de la Rosa Mejia…·Catherine H. Freudenreich

The paper shows that CAG/CTG repeats in ssDNA gaps influence repair kinetics, leading to repeat expansions or contractions and chromosome breaks.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae H2A copies differentially contribute to recombination and CAG/CTG repeat maintenance, with a role for H2A.1 threonine 126

Nealia C. M. House, Erica J. Polleys, Ishtiaque Quasem…·Catherine H. Freudenreich

The paper investigates the role of H2A subtypes in CAG/CTG repeat instability in yeast, finding H2A.1 protects against expansion and its phosphorylation at Thr126 is critical for repair fidelity.
