Multiple and variable NHEJ-like genes are involved in resistance to DNA damage in Streptomyces ambofaciens

Non homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a double strand break (DSB) repair pathway which does not require any homologous template and can ligate two DNA ends together. The basic bacterial NHEJ machinery involves two partners: the Ku protein, a DNA end binding protein for DSB recognition and the multifu...
