Restriction of Ku translocation protects telomere ends

Abstract Safeguarding chromosome ends against fusions via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) is essential for genome integrity. Paradoxically, the conserved NHEJ core factor Ku binds telomere ends. How it is prevented from promoting NHEJ remains unclear, as does the mechanism that allows Ku to coexist...
