Sequential division of labor between PAXX and XLF drives NHEJ synaptic complex stability and maturation

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are primarily repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which tethers and ligates DNA ends within a synaptic complex. PAXX is an NHEJ accessory factor related to XRCC4 and XLF, but its mechanistic role and genetic interaction with XLF are unclear. Using biochemical assays and single-molecule imaging within Xenopus laevis egg extracts and human cell assays, we…
