Chromosomal structural change triggers carcinogenesis and the formation of other genetic diseases. The breakpoint junctions of these rearrangements often contain small overlapping sequences called “microhomology,” yet the genetic pathway(s) responsible have yet to be defined. We report a simple genetic system to detect microhomology-mediated repair (MHMR) events after a DNA double-strand break (DSB) in budding yeast cells. MHMR using >15 bp operates as a single-strand annealing variant, requiring the non-essential DNA polymerase subunit Pol32. MHMR is inhibited by sequence mismatches, but independent of extensive DNA synthesis like break-induced replication. However, MHMR using less than 14 bp is genetically distinct from that using longer microhomology and far less efficient for the repair of distant DSBs. MHMR catalyzes chromosomal translocation almost as efficiently as intra-chromosomal repair. The results suggest that the intrinsic annealing propensity between microhomology sequences efficiently leads to chromosomal rearrangements. Cancer results from an accumulation of mutations that transform a normal cell into one that proliferates uncontrollably. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can lead to genetic mutations and chromosome rearrangements, underscoring the importance of functional DNA DSB repair pathways in the maintenance of chromosome integrity and tumor suppression. Ample evidence suggests that cells possess multiple DSB repair mechanisms with distinct mutational potentials, and one or more of these pathways is likely responsible for the formation of chromosomal translocations. Importantly, at the junctions of many rearrangements, small (2–20 bp in length) overlapping sequences from each of the original sequences, termed “microhomology,” are found, and they may provide a clue as to how these rearrangements form. Here, we describe our genetic investigation into how flanking microhomology influences the type and frequency of DSB repair. We also show that microhomology-mediated repair (MHMR) efficiently induces chromosomal translocations. This research provides a basic understanding of the mechanisms that utilize microhomology for mutagenic repair.
