Abstract excerpt
The Ku heterodimer (Ku70/Ku80) is a main component of the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway that repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Ku binds the broken DNA end and recruits other proteins to facilitate the processing and ligation of the broken end. While Ku interacts with many proteins involved in DNA damage/repair-related functions, few interactions have been mapped to the N-terminal von Willebrand...
