The phage T4 DNA ligase mediates bacterial chromosome DSBs repair as single component non-homologous end joining

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most lethal forms of DNA damage that is not efficiently repaired in prokaryotes. Certain microorganisms can handle chromosomal DSBs using the error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) system and ultimately cause genome mutagenesis. Here, we demonstr...
