Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repairs the majority of DNA double-strand breaks in human cells, yet the detailed order of events in this process has remained obscure. Here, we describe how to employ Xenopus laevis egg extract for the study of NHEJ. The egg extract is easy to prepare in large quantities, and it performs efficient end joining that requires the core end joining proteins Ku, DNA-PKcs, XLF, XRCC4, and DNA ligase IV. These factors, along with the rest of the soluble proteome, are present at endogenous concentrations, allowing mechanistic analysis in a system that begins to approximate the complexity of cellular end joining. We describe an ensemble assay that monitors covalent joining of DNA ends and fluorescence assays that detect joining of single pairs of DNA ends. The latter assay discerns at least two discrete intermediates in the bridging of DNA ends.
