ku1

Gene
ku1
Protein
Non-homologous end joining protein Ku 1
Organism
Saccharopolyspora erythraea (strain ATCC 11635 / DSM 40517 / JCM 4748 / NBRC 13426 / NCIMB 8594 / NRRL 2338)
Length
324 amino acids
Function
With LigD forms a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair enzyme, which repairs dsDNA breaks with reduced fidelity. Binds linear dsDNA with 5'- and 3'- overhangs but not closed circular dsDNA nor ssDNA. Recruits and stimulates the ligase activity of LigD.
Similarity
Belongs to the prokaryotic Ku family.
Mass
36.239 kDa
