Abstract

The repair of DNA double-strand breaks is critical for maintaining genetic stability. In the non-homologous end-joining pathway, DNA ends are brought together by end-bridging factors. However, most in vivo DNA double-strand breaks have terminal structures that cannot be directly ligated. Thus, the DNA ends are aligned using short regions of sequence microhomology followed by processing of the aligned DNA ends by DNA polymerases and nucleases to generate ligatable termini. Genetic studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have implicated the DNA polymerase Pol4 and the DNA structure-specific endonuclease FEN-1(Rad27) in the processing of DNA ends to be joined by Dnl4/Lif1. In this study, we demonstrated that FEN-1(Rad27) physically and functionally interacted with both Pol4 and Dnl4/Lif1 and that together these proteins coordinately processed and joined DNA molecules with incompatible 5' ends. Because Pol4 also interacts with Dnl4/Lif1, our results have revealed a series of pair-wise interactions among the factors that complete the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by non-homologous end-joining and provide a conceptual framework for delineating the end-processing reactions in higher eukaryotes.
