YKU80 [YMR106C]
ATP-dependent DNA helicase II subunit Ku80; Subunit of telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p); involved in telomere length maintenance, structure and telomere position effect; required for localization of telomerase ribonucleoprotein via interaction with TLC1 guide RNA; relocates to sites of double-strand cleavage to promote nonhomologous end joining during DSB repair; colocalizes with quiescent cell telomere hyperclusters; Belongs to the ku80 family.
Synonyms: YKU80, YKU80p, Q04437, HDF2, Q04437p ...
