The molecular basis for the enrollment of X family DNA polymerases in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is unclear. Here the authors elucidate the structure of Pol λ within the DNA-PK long-range complex and Pol μ in association with Ku70/80 and characterize the interaction between the BRCT domains of Pol λ and μ with Ku70/80.
