| Research Abstract |
Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a major repair pathway of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in human cells. Ku and XLF coordinately function in the recognition of DSBs in NHEJ. In this study, we showed that inositol-6-phosphate enhances the recognition of DSBs by XLF in the presence of Ku. Furthermore, we showed a critical role of Ku-XLF interaction in the molecular assembly of NHEJ factors on DSBs and biological significance of a genetic mutation found in patients of human genetic disorder. Based on these results, we proposed a new model for the DSB recognition in NHEJ.
