Cruciform-forming AT/TA repeats are acted upon by structure-selective endonucleases and Rad51 prior to repositioning to the nuclear periphery for repair.

Though this difference did not reach statistical significance, a decrease was not observed for spontaneous foci not associated with the AT repeat, suggesting that Mus81 cleavage might be necessary to create the structure that Rad51 colocalizes with.
