Background
| Function | FUNCTION: [DNA repair protein XRCC4]: DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) core factor, required for double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination (PubMed:10757784, PubMed:10854421, PubMed:17124166, PubMed:16412978, PubMed:8548796, PubMed:25742519, PubMed:12517771, PubMed:17290226, PubMed:22228831, PubMed:25597996, PubMed:25934149, PubMed:26100018, PubMed:26774286). Acts as a scaffold protein that regulates recruitment of other proteins to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) (PubMed:15385968, PubMed:20852255, PubMed:26774286, PubMed:27437582). Associates with NHEJ1/XLF to form alternating helical filaments that bridge DNA and act like a bandage, holding together the broken DNA until it is repaired (PubMed:26100018, PubMed:27437582, PubMed:28500754, PubMed:21775435, PubMed:22287571, PubMed:21768349). The XRCC4-NHEJ1/XLF subcomplex binds to the DNA fragments of a DSB in a highly diffusive manner and robustly bridges two independent DNA molecules, holding the broken DNA fragments in close proximity to one other (PubMed:27437582). The mobility of the bridges ensures that the ends remain accessible for further processing by other repair factors (PubMed:27437582). Plays a key role in the NHEJ ligation step of the broken DNA during DSB repair via direct interaction with DNA ligase IV (LIG4): the LIG4-XRCC4 subcomplex reseals the DNA breaks after the gap filling is completed (PubMed:9242410, PubMed:10757784, PubMed:10854421, PubMed:12517771, PubMed:17290226, PubMed:19837014). XRCC4 stabilizes LIG4, regulates its subcellular localization and enhances LIG4's joining activity (PubMed:9242410, PubMed:10757784, PubMed:10854421, PubMed:12517771, PubMed:17290226, PubMed:21982441, PubMed:22228831). Binding of the LIG4-XRCC4 subcomplex to DNA ends is dependent on the assembly of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK to these DNA ends (PubMed:10757784, PubMed:10854421). Promotes displacement of PNKP from processed strand break termini (PubMed:20852255, PubMed:28453785). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10757784, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10854421, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12517771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15385968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16412978, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17124166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17290226, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19837014, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20852255, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21768349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21775435, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21982441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22228831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22287571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25597996, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25742519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25934149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26100018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26774286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27437582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28453785, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28500754, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8548796, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9242410}.; FUNCTION: [Protein XRCC4, C-terminus]: Acts as an activator of the phospholipid scramblase activity of XKR4 (PubMed:33725486). This form, which is generated upon caspase-3 (CASP3) cleavage, translocates into the cytoplasm and interacts with XKR4, thereby promoting phosphatidylserine scramblase activity of XKR4 and leading to phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface (PubMed:33725486). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:33725486}. |
