Paradoxically, the conserved NHEJ core factor Ku binds telomere ends. How it is prevented from promoting NHEJ remains unclear, as does the mechanism that allows Ku to coexist with telomere-protective DNA binding proteins, Rap1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we find that Rap1 directly inhibits Ku's NHEJ function at telomeres. A single Rap1 molecule near a double-stand break suppresses NHEJ without displacing Ku in cells. Furthermore, Rap1 and Ku form a complex on short DNA duplexes in vitro. Cryo-EM shows Rap1 blocks Ku's inward translocation on DNA - an essential step for NHEJ at DSBs. Nanopore sequencing of telomere fusions confirms this mechanism protects native telomere ends. These findings uncover a telomere protection mechanism where Rap1 restricts Ku's inward translocation. This switches Ku from a repair-promoting to a protective role preventing NHEJ at telomeres. |
