Abstract
Double-strand DNA break repair is important in maintaining the genetic integrity of the genome. Using a mobility shift assay, we find that a protein, or complex of proteins, that is present in mammalian and yeast cells binds to the ends of double-strand DNA and renders the ends resistant to exonuclease digestion. Additionally, a mammalian DNA double-strand repair-deficient mutant, xrs, has no observable DNA end binding activity, while a revertant cell has wild-type activity. In addition, mobility supershift assays using monoclonal antibodies to the human Ku antigen (M(r) 70,000 subunit) reveal that one of the proteins of this end binding activity may be the Ku antigen or a protein with similar antigenic determinants. These observations suggest that this DNA end-binding protein may function in DNA repair.
