Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) in mammalian cells are
repaired by either homology-directed repair (HDR),
using a homologous sequence as a repair template, or nonhomologous
end-joining (NHEJ), which often involves sequence alterations at the
DSB site. To characterize the interrelationship of these two pathways,
we analyzed HDR of a DSB in cells deficient for NHEJ components. We
find that the HDR frequency is enhanced in Ku70
/
,
XRCC4
/
, and DNA-PKcs
/
cells, with the increase being particularly striking in
Ku70
/
cells. Neither sister-chromatid exchange
nor gene-targeting frequencies show a dependence on these NHEJ
proteins. A Ku-modulated two-ended versus one-ended chromosome break
model is presented to explain these results.
[Key Words: Homologous recombination; DNA double-strand break; nonhomologous end-joining; Ku protein; DNA-PK; sister-chromatid exchange; gene targeting]
