Abstract
⺠To resolve DSBs DNA ends are brought together by protein complexes. ⺠Ku heterodimers recognize specifically DNA ends as shown by EM. ⺠Ku alone is not sufficient for DNA end bridging but requires Dnl4/Lif1 (Ligase IV/XRCC4). ⺠Ligase IV mediates end-bridging by bringing two Ku-bound DNA ends.
