Abstract excerpt
The Ku heterodimeric protein (Ku80/Ku70) is an essential component of the double-strand break DNA repair pathway in mammalian cells. We have recently defined a central region within Ku80 that is required for heterodimerization with Ku70. We now identified a core region within Ku80 (amino acids 210 to 531) that is necessary for binding of Ku to DNA ends. Interaction with Ku70 and DNA end binding are important for...
