double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

The repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the two broken ends are rejoined with little or no sequence complementarity. Information at the DNA ends may be lost due to the modification of broken DNA ends. This term covers instances of separate pathways, called classical (or canonical) and alternative nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ and A-NHEJ). These in turn may further branch into sub-pathways, but evidence is still unclear. [GOC:rph, PMID:10827453, PMID:24837021]

Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) is a major pathway for repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. It is an error-prone process that is active throughout the cell cycle and is particularly important in G1 phase, when the sister chromatid is not available for homologous recombination. Here is a detailed description of the biological process:

1. **Break Recognition and Processing:**
- Upon DSB formation, the ends of the broken DNA strands are processed by nucleases, primarily the MRN complex (Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1), which removes damaged nucleotides and generates short 3'-overhangs.
- These 3'-overhangs are then bound by the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer, which forms a ring around the DNA ends and protects them from further degradation.
- The Ku complex also acts as a scaffold for the recruitment of other NHEJ proteins.

2. **End Joining:**
- The DNA ligase IV-XRCC4 complex is recruited to the Ku-bound ends.
- This complex bridges the broken DNA strands, bringing them into close proximity.
- If the DNA ends have complementary sequences, they can anneal directly.
- However, in many cases, there are mismatches or overhangs that need to be processed.
- The Artemis nuclease, acting with the DNA-PKcs kinase, can remove these mismatches and generate blunt ends.
- The DNA ligase IV-XRCC4 complex then seals the two ends together, forming a repaired DNA molecule.

3. **Accuracy and Error Prone Nature:**
- NHEJ is an error-prone process because it can introduce deletions, insertions, or translocations at the repair site.
- This is due to the lack of homology between the DNA ends, which makes precise alignment difficult.
- Moreover, the enzymatic activities of NHEJ factors can lead to the loss of nucleotides or the addition of incorrect nucleotides during end processing.
- Despite its error-prone nature, NHEJ is essential for maintaining genomic integrity and preventing cell death.
- It is particularly important for repairing DSBs in regions of the genome that are not actively transcribed or that lack homologous sequences, such as telomeres and centromeres.'
