DescriptionFUNCTION: Non-essential DNA repair protein involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ); participates in double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination . May act as a scaffold required for accumulation of the Ku heterodimer, composed of XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70, at double-strand break sites and promote the assembly and/or stability of the NHEJ machinery . Involved in NHEJ by promoting the ligation of blunt-ended DNA ends . Together with NHEJ1/XLF, collaborates with DNA polymerase lambda (POLL) to promote joining of non-cohesive DNA ends . Constitutes a non-essential component of classical NHEJ: has a complementary but distinct function with NHEJ1/XLF in DNA repair . Able to restrict infection by herpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) via an unknown mechanism . .
