ABSTRACT
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is one of two critical mechanisms utilized in humans to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Unrepaired or incorrect DSBs can lead apoptosis cancer. NHEJ involves several proteins, including the Ku70/80 heterodimer, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), X-ray cross-complementing 4 (XRCC4), XRCC4-like factor (XLF), and ligase IV. These core proteins bind ligate damaged ends. However, details structural assembly these remain unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures supercomplexes that are composed DNA, revealing detailed architecture this assembly. We describe monomeric dimeric forms supercomplex also propose existence alternate long-range synaptic complexes. Finally, show mutational disruption features within complexes negatively affects repair.
