CtIP/Ctp1/Sae2/Com1 role in removal of DNA double strand breaks through DSB repair by homologous recombination is reviewed.
Title: CtIP/Ctp1/Sae2, molecular form fit for function.

a mre11 mutant defective in endonucleolytic activity, the same mutant lacking Ctp1, or the triple mutant also lacking the putative hairpin nuclease Pso2 showed wild-type levels of repair. Thus, MRN (Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1)may act to recruit the hairpin opening activity that allows subsequent repair
Title: Nonhomologous End-Joining with Minimal Sequence Loss Is Promoted by the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1-Ctp1 Complex in

The authors concludes that the intracellular Ctp1 C-terminal portion is essential for clipping, while the N-terminal portion is sufficient for DNA double-strand break end-resection.
Title: Two separable functions of Ctp1 in the early steps of meiotic DNA double-strand break repair.

Tetrameric Ctp1 coordinates DNA binding and DNA bridging in DNA double-strand-break repair.
Title: Tetrameric Ctp1 coordinates DNA binding and DNA bridging in DNA double-strand-break repair.

these data propose that release of the MRN complex and Ku from DNA ends by Mre11 nuclease activity and Ctp1 is a critical step required to expose ssDNA for replication protein A localization and ensuing homologous recombination repair.
Title: Release of Ku and MRN from DNA ends by Mre11 nuclease activity and Ctp1 is required for homologous recombination repair of double-strand breaks.
