B) Ku, the protein that recognizes DNA ends and can initiate nonhomologous end joining
C) MCM, the helicase critical for the initiation and elongation of replication
D) Topoisomerase II, which can create or relax superhelical tension in DNA
E) RecA/Rad51, which carries out strand invasion in homologous recombination
