Phosphopeptide interactions of the Nbs1 N-terminal FHA-BRCT1/2 domains

Abstract Human Nbs1, a component of the MRN complex involved in DNA double strand break repair, contains a concatenated N-terminal FHA-BRCT1/2 sequence that supports interaction with multiple phosphopeptide binding partners. MDC1 binding localizes Nbs1 to the damage site, while binding of CDK-phosph...
