Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is the primary DNA repair pathway thought to underlie chromosomal translocations and other genomic rearrangements in somatic cells. The canonical NHEJ pathway, including DNA ligase IV (Lig4), suppresses genomic instability and chromosomal translocations, leading to the notion that a poorly defined, alternative NHEJ (alt-NHEJ) pathway generates these rearrangements. Here, we investigate the DNA ligase requirement of chromosomal translocation formation in mouse cells. Mammals have two other DNA ligases, Lig1 and Lig3, in addition to Lig4. As deletion of Lig3 results in cellular lethality due to its requirement in mitochondria, we used recently developed cell lines deficient in nuclear Lig3 but rescued for mitochondrial DNA ligase activity. Further, zinc finger endonucleases were used to generate DNA breaks at endogenous loci to induce translocations. Unlike with Lig4 deficiency, which causes an increase in translocation frequency, translocations are reduced in frequency in the absence of Lig3. Residual translocations in Lig3-deficient cells do not show a bias toward use of pre-existing microhomology at the breakpoint junctions, unlike either wild-type or Lig4-deficient cells, consistent with the notion that alt-NHEJ is impaired with Lig3 loss. By contrast, Lig1 depletion in otherwise wild-type cells does not reduce translocations or affect microhomology use. However, translocations are further reduced in Lig3-deficient cells upon Lig1 knockdown, suggesting the existence of two alt-NHEJ pathways, one that is biased toward microhomology use and requires Lig3 and a back-up pathway which does not depend on microhomology and utilizes Lig1. Chromosomal rearrangements are associated with many tumor types, as they are one way in which genes affecting cancer initiation and progression become mutated. One type of rearrangement is a chromosomal translocation, in which parts of two different chromosomes join together. Although infrequent, translocations occur when both chromosomes undergo breakage and the ends from different chromosomes join rather than the two ends from the same chromosome. Human and mouse cells have three known DNA ligases which catalyze the joining of DNA ends (Lig1, Lig3, and Lig4). Lig4 is important for joining the correct ends together, thereby suppressing translocations. In this report, the role of the other two DNA ligases is examined in a novel mouse cell system. Lig3 is found to be required for efficient chromosomal translocation formation, but in its absence Lig1 can substitute, although less efficiently and although the joining characteristics of the two DNA ligases differ. These studies define the hierarchy of the three DNA ligases in this type of genomic rearrangement.
