摘要
In many eukaryotic organisms, the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) system is a major pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). DNA ligase IV is a component of the NHEJ system and is strictly required for the NHEJ system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in Neurospora crassa. To investigate the functions of DNA Ligase IV in Magnaporthe grisea, we generated deletion mutants of MGLIG4, which encodes a homolog of N. crassa DNA Ligase IV. Mutants (mglig4) showed no defects in asexual or sexual growth, and were fully pathogenic. Compared to the wild-type, mglig4 exhibited weak sensitivity to a DNA-damaging agent, camptothecin, In addition, the frequency of targeted-gene replacement was relatively elevated in mglig4, although this varied in a gene-dependent manner. Surprisingly, non-homologous integration of DNA was frequently observed in mglig4 transformants. Our results demonstrate that MgLig4 is involved in, but not essential for, the NHEJ system in M. grisea. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
