Actin-Related Protein 6 (Arp6) Influences Double-Strand Break Repair in Yeast
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious form of DNA damage and are repaired through non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). Repair initiation, regulation and communication with signaling pathways require several histone-modifying and chromatin-remodeling complexes. In budding yeast, this involves three primary complexes: INO80-C, which is primarily associated with HR, SWR1-C, which promotes NHEJ, and RSC-C, which is involved in both pathways as well as the general DNA damage response. Here we identify ARP6 as a factor involved in DSB repair through an RSC-C-related pathway. The loss of ARP6 significantly reduces the NHEJ repair efficiency of linearized plasmids with cohesive ends, impairs the repair of chromosomal breaks, and sensitizes cells to DNA-damaging agents. Genetic interaction analysis indicates that ARP6, MRE11 and RSC-C function within the same pathway, and the overexpression of ARP6 rescues rsc2∆ and mre11∆ sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. Double mutants of ARP6, and members of the INO80 and SWR1 complexes, cause a significant reduction in repair efficiency, suggesting that ARP6 functions independently of SWR1-C and INO80-C. These findings support a novel role for ARP6 in DSB repair that is independent of the SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex, through an apparent RSC-C and MRE11-associated DNA repair pathway.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
