Mammalian DNA double-strand break repair protein XRCC4 interacts with DNA ligase IV
BACKGROUND Mammalian cells deficient in the XRCC4 DNA repair protein are impaired in DNA double-strand break repair and are consequently hypersensitive to ionising radiation. These cells are also defective in site-specific V(D)J recombination, a process that generates the diversity of antigen receptor genes in the developing immune system. These features are shared by cells lacking components o...
متن کاملLoss of DNA ligase IV prevents recognition of DNA by double-strand break repair proteins XRCC4 and XLF
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is essential for maintenance of genomic integrity and cell viability. Central to the molecular mechanism of NHEJ is DNA ligase IV/XRCC4/XLF complex, which rejoins the DNA. During adenovirus (Ad5) infection, ligase IV is targeted for degradation in a process that requires expression of the viral E1B 55k and E4 34k protein...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae LIF1: a function involved in DNA double-strand break repair related to mammalian XRCC4.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA ligase IV (LIG4) has been shown previously to be involved in non-homologous DNA end joining and meiosis. The homologous mammalian DNA ligase IV interacts with XRCC4, a protein implicated in V(D)J recombination and double-strand break repair. Here, we report the discovery of LIF1, a S.cerevisiae protein that strongly interacts with the C-terminal BRCT domain of yeast...

ownloade C regulates a myriad of genes controlling cell proliferation, metabolism, differentiation, and apoptosis. lso controls the expression of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair genes and therefore may be a ial target for anticancer therapy to sensitize cancer cells to DNA damage or prevent genetic instability. report, we studied whether MYC binds to DSB repair gene promoters and modulates...
متن کاملDNA double-strand break repair
The integrity of genomic DNA is crucial for its function. And yet, DNA in living cells is inherently unstable. It is subject to mechanical stress and to many types of chemical modification that may lead to breaks in one or both strands of the double helix. Within the cell, reactive oxygen species generated by normal respiratory metabolism can cause double-strand breaks, as can stalled DNA repli...
