A 1995 paper in Cell (T. Blunt et al., Cell, 80:813-23, 1995; discussed in Hot Papers, The Scientist, Jan. 6, 1997, page 15) described an enzyme called DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which catalyzes the repair both of DNA double-strand breaks and of specific DNA breaks occurring in the development of the immune system.

QUICK FIX: Cordula Kirchgessner and Martin Brown presented genetic evidence of an enzyme that catalyzes DNA repair. Like the Cell paper, this work-by researchers from Stanford University's School of ...
