Central role for the XRCC1 BRCT I domain in mammalian DNA single-strand break repair [PDF]
The DNA single-strand break repair (SSBR) protein XRCC1 is required for genetic stability and for embryonic viability. XRCC1 possesses two BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) protein interaction domains, denoted BRCT I and II.
