Interaction of DNA Fragmentation Factor (DFF) with DNA Reveals an Unprecedented Mechanism for Nuclease Inhibition and Suggests That DFF Can Be Activated in a DNA-bound State

DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) is a complex of the DNase DFF40 (CAD) and its chaperone/inhibitor DFF45 (ICAD-L) that can be activated during apoptosis to induce DNA fragmentation. Here, we demonstrate that DFF directly binds to DNA in vitro without promoting DNA cleavage. DNA binding by DFF is media...
