High impact information on RCJMB04_10b2

  • The LIG4(-/-) cells showed a marked sensitivity to X-rays, bleomycin, and VP-16 and were more x-ray-sensitive in G(1) than late S or G(2)/M, suggesting a critical role of Lig4 in DSB repair by NHEJ [1].
  • Our data may explain the observed severe phenotype of Lig4-deficient mice as compared with Ku-deficient mice [1].
