Authors: Chloe Hall / Philippe Frit / Antonia Kefala-Stavridi / Amandine Pelletier / Steven W Hardwick / Himani Amin / Matthew K Bilyard / Taiana Maia De Oliviera / Ammarah Tariq / Sayma Zahid / ...Authors: Chloe Hall / Philippe Frit / Antonia Kefala-Stavridi / Amandine Pelletier / Steven W Hardwick / Himani Amin / Matthew K Bilyard / Taiana Maia De Oliviera / Ammarah Tariq / Sayma Zahid / Dimitri Y Chirgadze / Shankar Balasubramanian / Katheryn Meek / Virginie Ropars / Jean-Baptiste Charbonnier / Mauro Modesti / Patrick Calsou / Sébastien Britton / Tom L Blundell / Thomas Schalch / Amanda K Chaplin / ![]() Abstract: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly deleterious lesions that can trigger cell death or carcinogenesis if unrepaired or misrepaired. In mammals, most DSBs are repaired by non-homologous end ...DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly deleterious lesions that can trigger cell death or carcinogenesis if unrepaired or misrepaired. In mammals, most DSBs are repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which begins when Ku70/80 binds DNA ends and recruits DNA-PKcs to form the DNA-PK holoenzyme. Although recent cryo-EM studies have resolved several NHEJ assemblies, how these factors access DSBs within nucleosomes remains unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of human Ku70/80 and DNA-PK bound to nucleosomes. Ku70/80 binds the DNA end and bends it away from the nucleosome core, while the Ku70 C-terminal SAP domain makes an additional, specific DNA contact. Our DNA-PK-nucleosome structure further reveals the opening of the Ku80 vWA domain, and we show that non-hydrolysable ATP promotes synapsis by stabilising the Ku80-mediated DNA-PK dimer. These structures reveal a model for DSB recognition on nucleosomal DNA and provide insights relevant to targeting NHEJ in cancer therapy. | |||||||||
