Structural snapshots of human DNA polymerase μ engaged on a DNA double-strand break
Polymerase μ (Polμ) participates in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. Here, the authors determine the crystal structure of a pre-catalytic ternary complex of human Polμ with a bound DSB substrate and they obtain further mechanistic insigh...
