Summary
XRCC6 (X-ray repair cross complementing 6, HGNC:4055) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q13.2, encoding DNA repair protein Ku70 (P12956). DNA-binding protein critical for the DNA damage response, specifically in repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs) via the classical non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.9% of cancer cell lines).
The p70/p80 autoantigen is a nuclear complex consisting of two subunits with molecular masses of approximately 70 and 80 kDa. The complex functions as a single-stranded DNA-dependent ATP-dependent helicase. The complex may be involved in the repair of nonhomologous DNA ends such as that required for double-strand break repair, transposition, and V(D)J recombination. High levels of autoantibodies to p70 and p80 have been found in some patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Function. DNA-binding protein critical for the DNA damage response, specifically in repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs) via the classical non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. It forms a heterodimer with XRCC5 (Ku80), creating the Ku70:Ku80 heterodimer (Ku complex), which serves as a DNA end-binding complex. It primarily binds DSBs and recruits essential repair factors, assembling the core long-range NHEJ complex to facilitate the alignment and ligation of broken DNA ends. This pathway ensures the rapid repair of cytotoxic and mutagenic DSBs and contributes to the generation of diversity in T-cell receptors and antibodies through mechanisms such as V(D)J recombination. Likely acts as a 5’-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (5’-dRP lyase), catalyzing the beta-elimination of the 5’-deoxyribose-5-phosphate at abasic sites near DSBs. This activity cleans the termini of abasic sites, a common form of nucleotide damage, preparing broken ends for ligation. It may also possess 3’-5’ DNA helicase activity, although this has not been confirmed in vivo, and its physiological significance remains unclear. Beyond DNA repair, the protein contributes to telomere maintenance. It is also implicated in transcriptional regulation, acting as a cofactor for various transcription factors. It 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. Can also bind RNAs and recruits PRKDC to a wide range of cellular RNAs, including the U3 small nucleolar RNA, playing a role in the biogenesis of ribosomal RNAs. Additionally, it negatively regulates apoptosis by interacting with BAX, sequestering it from the mitochondria, and may possess deubiquitination activity targeting BAX.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a heterodimer with XRCC5/Ku80 to form the Ku70:Ku80 complex (Ku); heterodimerization stabilizes XRCC5 protein. Component of the core long-range non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) complex (also named DNA-PK complex) composed of PRKDC, LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC6/Ku70, XRCC5/Ku86 and NHEJ1/XLF. Additional component of the NHEJ complex includes PAXX. Following autophosphorylation, PRKDC dissociates from DNA, leading to formation of the short-range NHEJ complex, composed of LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC6/Ku70, XRCC5/Ku86 and NHEJ1/XLF. The XRCC5-XRCC6 dimer also associates with NAA15, and this complex binds to the osteocalcin promoter and activates osteocalcin expression. In addition, XRCC6 interacts with the osteoblast-specific transcription factors MSX2, RUNX2 and DLX5. Interacts with ELF3. Interacts with ATP23. The XRCC5-XRRC6 dimer associates in a DNA-dependent manner with APEX1. Binds to CDK9 isoform 2. Identified in a complex with DEAF1 and XRCC5. Interacts with DEAF1 (via the SAND domain); the interaction is direct and may be inhibited by DNA-binding. Interacts with CLU. Interacts with NR4A3; the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK phosphorylates and activates NR4A3 and prevents NR4A3 ubiquitinylation and degradation. Interacts with CYREN isoform 1 (CYREN-1) and isoform 4 (CYREN-2) (via KBM motif). Interacts (via N-terminus) with HSF1 (via N-terminus); this interaction is direct and prevents XRCC5/XRCC6 heterodimeric binding and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair activities induced by ionizing radiation (IR). Part of the HDP-RNP complex composed of at least HEXIM1, PRKDC, XRCC5, XRCC6, paraspeckle proteins (SFPQ, NONO, PSPC1, RBM14, and MATR3) and NEAT1 RNA. Interacts with HMBOX1. Interacts with ATF7; involved in ATF7 lolcaization to telomeres. Interacts with APLF (via KBM motif). Interacts with WRN (via KBM motif). The XRCC5-XRCC6 dimer associates with ALKBH2. Interacts with TPRN; TPRN interacts with a number of DNA damage response proteins, is recruited to sites of DNA damage and may play a role in DNA damage repair. When not acetylated, interacts with BAX. Interacts with ERCC6L2. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human T-cell leukemia virus 1/HTLV-1 protein HBZ.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation by PRKDC may enhance helicase activity. Phosphorylation of Ser-51 does not affect DNA repair. ADP-ribosylated by PARP3. Methylation by SETD4 leads to accumulation in the cytoplasm and is a prerequisite for acetylation, possibly due to the change of subcellular from the nucleus to the cytosol initiated by methylation, acetylation occurring in the cytosol. Acetylation can be catalyzed in vitro by CREBBP/CBP and KAT2B/PCAF.
Induction. In osteoblasts, by FGF2.
Miscellaneous. Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related disorders produce extremely large amounts of autoantibodies to XRCC5 and XRCC6. Existence of a major autoantigenic epitope or epitopes on the C-terminal 190 amino acids of XRCC6 containing the leucine repeat. The majority of autoantibodies to XRCC6 in most sera from patients with SLE seem to be reactive with this region.
Similarity. Belongs to the ku70 family.
