Identification of a defect in DNA ligase IV in a radiosensitive leukaemia patient

TL;DR: It is suggested that a significant defect in NHEJ that leads to pronounced radiosensitivity is compatible with normal human viability and does not cause any major immune dysfunction, however, the defect may confer a predisposition to leukaemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a DNA Nonhomologous End-Joining Complex in Bacteria

TL;DR: These data provide evidence that many bacteria possess a DNA DSB repair apparatus that shares many features with the NHEJ system of eukarya and suggest that this DNA repair pathway arose before the prokaryotic and eukaryotic lineages diverged.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonhomologous end joining and V(D)J recombination require an additional factor

TL;DR: A patient with T−B− severe combined immunodeficiency, whose cells have defects closely resembling those of NHEJ-defective rodent cells, is described, providing strong evidence that additional activities are crucial for N HEJ and V(D)J recombination in mammals.
