Abstract Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is the sole pathway for repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis during dormancy, relying on mycobacterial Ku (mKu) and ligase D, with mKu as the rate-limiting factor. Despite its essential role, the lack of structural information on prokaryotic Ku has hindered understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial two-component NHEJ machinery.

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.07.543977 Abstract Non–homologous end–joining DNA repair is essential for the survival and sustenance of M·tuberculosis (Mtb) in the dormant stage of its life cycle. The ability of Mtb to sustain itself in the inactive form has been reported to be the critical factor for its resilience over the years.
