Crystal Structure of PAXX
Structural highlights
FunctionPAXX_HUMAN Non-essential DNA repair protein involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ); participates in double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination (PubMed:25574025, PubMed:25670504, PubMed:25941166, PubMed:27705800). May act as a scaffold required for accumulation of the Ku heterodimer, composed of XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70, at double-strand break sites and promote the assembly and/or stability of the NHEJ machinery (PubMed:25574025, PubMed:25670504, PubMed:25941166). Involved in NHEJ by promoting the ligation of blunt-ended DNA ends (PubMed:27703001). Together with NHEJ1/XLF, collaborates with DNA polymerase lambda (POLL) to promote joining of non-cohesive DNA ends (PubMed:30250067, PubMed:25670504). Constitutes a non-essential component of classical NHEJ: has a complementary but distinct function with NHEJ1/XLF in DNA repair (PubMed:27705800). Able to restrict infection by herpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) via an unknown mechanism (PubMed:29144403).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedNon-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a major pathway to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which can display different types of broken ends. However, it is unclear how NHEJ factors organize to repair diverse types of DNA breaks. Here, through systematic analysis of the human NHEJ factor interactome, we identify PAXX as a direct interactor of Ku. The crystal structure of PAXX is similar to those of XRCC4 and XLF. Importantly, PAXX-deficient cells are sensitive to DSB-causing agents. Moreover, epistasis analysis demonstrates that PAXX functions together with XLF in response to ionizing radiation-induced complex DSBs, whereas they function redundantly in response to Topo2 inhibitor-induced simple DSBs. Consistently, PAXX and XLF coordinately promote the ligation of complex but not simple DNA ends in vitro. Altogether, our data identify PAXX as a new NHEJ factor and provide insight regarding the organization of NHEJ factors responding to diverse types of DSB ends. Interactome analysis identifies a new paralogue of XRCC4 in non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway.,Xing M, Yang M, Huo W, Feng F, Wei L, Jiang W, Ning S, Yan Z, Li W, Wang Q, Hou M, Dong C, Guo R, Gao G, Ji J, Zha S, Lan L, Liang H, Xu D Nat Commun. 2015 Feb 11;6:6233. doi: 10.1038/ncomms7233.
