Namenonhomologous end-joining, bacterial type
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThis property describes nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), a mechanism for DNA repair of double-stranded breaks that appears significantly less common in bacteria than, and uncorrelated with, recombinational repair. The bacterial Ku protein typically is encoded next to the multidomain, multifunctional DNA ligase, LidD. The domains of LigD, which may be permuted, carry separable 3'-phosphoesterase (PE), DNA ligase, and polymerase activities.
JCVI RoleDNA replication, recombination, and repair
