Abstract
It was recently shown that removal of GreA, a transcription fidelity factor, enhances DNA break repair. This counterintuitive result, arising from unresolved backtracked RNA polymerase impeding DNA resection and thereby facilitating RecA-loading, leads to an interesting corollary: error-free full-length transcripts and broken chromosomes. Therefore, transcription fidelity may compromise genomic integrity.Entities:
