Function
Single-stranded DNA-dependent ATP-dependent helicase that plays a key role in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) by recruiting DNA-PK to DNA (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). Required for double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). Also has a role in chromosome translocation (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). Has a role in chromosome translocation (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). The DNA helicase II complex binds preferentially to fork-like ends of double-stranded DNA in a cell cycle-dependent manner (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). It works in the 3'-5' direction (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). During NHEJ, the XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer performs the recognition step: it recognizes and binds to the broken ends of the DNA and protects them from further resection (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). Binding to DNA may be mediated by XRCC6 (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). The XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer acts as a regulatory subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK by increasing the affinity of the catalytic subunit PRKDC to DNA by 100-fold (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). The XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer is probably involved in stabilizing broken DNA ends and bringing them together (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). The assembly of the DNA-PK complex to DNA ends is required for the NHEJ ligation step (PubMed:11493912, PubMed:12145306, PubMed:20493174, PubMed:2466842, PubMed:7957065, PubMed:8621488, PubMed:9742108). Probably also acts as a 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (5'-dRP lyase), by catalyzing the beta-elimination of the 5' deoxyribose-5-phosphate at an abasic site near double-strand breaks (PubMed:20383123). 5'-dRP lyase activity allows to 'clean' the termini of abasic sites, a class of nucleotide damage commonly associated with strand breaks, before such broken ends can be joined (PubMed:20383123). The XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer together with APEX1 acts as a negative regulator of transcription (PubMed:8621488). In association with NAA15, the XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer binds to the osteocalcin promoter and activates osteocalcin expression (PubMed:12145306). Plays a role in the regulation of DNA virus-mediated innate immune response by assembling into the HDP-RNP complex, a complex that serves as a platform for IRF3 phosphorylation and subsequent innate immune response activation through the cGAS-STING pathway (PubMed:28712728).

- Activity summary
Ku70 and Ku80 also known collectively as the Ku70/Ku80 complex are proteins that play a vital role in DNA repair. Ku70 and Ku80 are subunits of a heterodimeric protein with Ku70 approximately 70 kDa and Ku80 around 80 kDa in mass. These proteins are typically expressed in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells where they recognize and bind to DNA double-strand break ends. The Ku70/Ku80 complex serves as a scaffold for the assembly of other proteins involved in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) an important pathway for repairing these DNA breaks.
- Biological function summary
Ku70 and Ku80 form a ring-shaped structure that binds tightly around DNA ends facilitating high-fidelity repair processes. They are essential for maintaining genomic stability by ensuring accurate repair of DNA that can otherwise lead to chromosomal aberrations. Ku70/80 operates as part of the DNA-PK complex working alongside DNA-PKcs (DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit) to promote the NHEJ pathway. This complex orchestrates the repair process by protecting DNA ends and recruiting other essential repair factors.
- Pathways
NHEJ and V(D)J recombination are two critical biological pathways where Ku70/Ku80 functions. NHEJ is a major pathway for repairing double-strand breaks especially in the context of DNA damage by radiation or spontaneous genomic instability. V(D)J recombination on the other hand is essential for generating diversity in antigen receptors during immune response. Within these pathways the Ku70/Ku80 complex works closely with DNA ligase IV and XRCC4 to facilitate the final ligation step thereby ensuring effective DNA repair and recombination.
- Associated diseases and disorders
The malfunction of Ku70/Ku80 can lead to severe immunodeficiency disorders and increase the risk of cancer. Deficiencies in the Ku70/Ku80 complex result in a compromised NHEJ repair mechanism leading to increased susceptibility to genomic instability and associated malignancies. Additionally the improper function of Ku70/Ku80 is linked to neurodegenerative diseases due to failed DNA repair also involving other proteins like PARP1 (Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1) highlighting the importance of the complex in maintaining neural health.
