DNA break repair. Many studies focus on the ring-forming regions of subunits Ku70 and
Ku80. Less is known about the Ku70 C-terminal tail, which lies outside the ring. Our results
suggest that this region is responsible for dynamic sumoylation of Yku70 upon DNA
association in budding yeast. Mutating a cluster of five lysines in this region largely
eliminates Yku70 sumoylation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses show that yku70 …
