| PAG Description | Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) elimites D double-strand breaks (DSBs) by direct ligation. NHEJ involves binding of the KU heterodimer to double-stranded D ends, recruitment of D-PKcs (MRX complex in yeast), processing of ends, and recruitment of the D ligase IV (LIG4)-XRCC4 complex, which brings about ligation. A recent study shows that bacteria accomplish NHEJ using just two proteins (Ku and D ligase), whereas eukaryotes require many factors. NHEJ repairs DSBs at all stages of the cell cycle, bringing about the ligation of two D DSBs without the need for sequence homology, and so is error-prone. |
