Abstract excerpt
DNA ligase IV functions in DNA non-homologous end-joining, in V(D)J recombination, and during brain development. We previously reported a homozygous mutation (R278H) in DNA ligase IV in a developmentally normal leukemia patient who overresponded to radiotherapy. The impact of this hypomorphic mutation has been evaluated using cellular, biochemical, and structural approaches. Structural modeling using T7 DNA...
