Artemis and PALF (also called APLF) appear to be among the primary nucleases involved in NHEJ and responsible for most nucleolytic end processing in NHEJ. About 60% of NHEJ events show an alignment of the DNA ends that uses 1 or 2 bp of microhomology (MH) between the two DNA termini. Thus, MH is a common feature of NHEJ. For most naturally-occurring human chromosomal deletions (e.g., after oxidative damage or radiation) and translocations, such as those seen in human neoplasms and as well as inherited chromosomal structural variations, MH usage occurs at a frequency that is typical of NHEJ, and does not suggest major involvement of alternative pathways that require more extensive MH. Though we mainly focus on human NHEJ at DSBs, comparison on these points to other eukaryotes, primarily S. cerevisiae, is informative.
