DNA resection is an initial, decisive step in the homologous recombination repair pathway of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, the individual roles and cross-talk of key proteins in this process remain unclear. To resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics of this intricate process, we applied multicolor single-molecule localization microscopy along with robust analytical approaches. Our data reveal the dynamic actions and interactions of MRE11, BRCA1, and CtIP both as a multimer and individually; the recruitment and spatial exclusion of 53BP1; the role of BLM helicase alongside EXO1 and DNA2 nucleases; and the inhibitory mechanisms of MRE11 exo-/endonuclease inhibition. Together, our findings describe important aspects of DNA DSB repair and highlight key differences between repair of clustered damage and sporadic endogenous breaks. Homologous recombination (HR) is a major pathway for repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The initial step that drives the HR process is resection of DNA at the DSB, during which a multitude of nucleases, mediators, and signaling proteins accumulates at the damage foci in a manner that remains elusive. Using single-molecule localization super-resolution (SR) imaging assays, we specifically visualize the spatiotemporal behavior of key mediator and nuclease proteins as they resect DNA at single-ended double-strand breaks (seDSBs) formed at collapsed replication forks. By characterizing these associations, we reveal the in vivo dynamics of resection complexes involved in generating the long single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhang prior to homology search. We show that 53BP1, a protein known to antagonize HR, is recruited to seDSB foci during early resection but is spatially separated from repair activities. Contemporaneously, CtBP-interacting protein (CtIP) and MRN (MRE11-RAD51-NBS1) associate with seDSBs, interacting with each other and BRCA1. The HR nucleases EXO1 and DNA2 are also recruited and colocalize with each other and with the repair helicase Bloom syndrome protein (BLM), demonstrating multiple simultaneous resection events. Quantification of replication protein A (RPA) accumulation and ssDNA generation shows that resection is completed 2 to 4 h after break induction. However, both BRCA1 and BLM persist later into HR, demonstrating potential roles in homology search and repair resolution. Furthermore, we show that initial recruitment of BRCA1 and removal of Ku are largely independent of MRE11 exonuclease activity but dependent on MRE11 endonuclease activity. Combined, our observations provide a detailed description of resection during HR repair.
