However, cellular, biochemical, and structural studies have also revealed a significant, short-length, template-dependent (TD) mode of TdT, in which it takes instructions from a template strand across a double-strand break. Here, we propose that this can occur through an intrachain fold-back synthesis to generate the short inverted repeats at V(D)J recombination junctions observed in early human lymphoid cells and within the adult human antigen receptor repertoire. This duality is also relevant to the functional and structural flexibility observed during the DNA repair process known as nonhomologous DNA end joining (NHEJ).</p>","PeriodicalId":440,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Biochemical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149219894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that resolving glycan structure-function relationships requires the integration of complementary approaches spanning genetics, analytical glycomics, glycoengineering, structural biology, and computational modelling.
