The Robinson and Pellegrini Groups have jointly published a new paper in Nature Communications.
Nick Robinson's and Luca Pellegrini's groups have published a paper in Nature Communications entitled "Structure of the hexameric HerA ATPase reveals a mechanism of translocation-coupled DNA-end processing in archaea". Thermophilic archaea have a minimal double-strand DNA break repair apparatus consisting of the HerA ATPase, NurA nuclease and Mre11–Rad50 complex. The groups have solved the structure of a hexameric HerA ring from Sulfolobus solfataricus, and provided insight into a novel mechanism of DNA repair.
