Non-homologous end joining minimizes errors by coordinating DNA processing with ligation
2019-02-28
Abstract excerpt
Genome stability requires efficient and faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The predominant DSB repair pathway in human cells is non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), which directly ligates DNA ends 1–5 . Broken DNA ends at DSBs are chemically diverse, and many are not compatible for direct ligation by the NHEJ-associated DNA Ligase IV (Lig4). To solve this problem, NHEJ end-processing enzymes includ...
