Double-strand break (DSB) repair protein involved in response to DNA damage, telomere dynamics and class-switch recombination (CSR) during antibody genesis (PubMed:15159415, PubMed:15077110, PubMed:20453858, PubMed:23333305, PubMed:26308889, PubMed:20362325). Plays a key role in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) in response to DNA damage by promoting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated repair of DSBs and specifically counteracting the function of the homologous recombination (HR) repair protein BRCA1 (PubMed:23333305, PubMed:20362325). In response to DSBs, phosphorylation by ATM promotes interaction with RIF1 and dissociation from NUDT16L1/TIRR, leading to recruitment to DSBs sites. Recruited to DSBs sites by recognizing and binding histone H2A monoubiquitinated at ‘Lys-15’ (H2AK15Ub) and histone H4 dimethylated at ‘Lys-20’ (H4K20me2), two histone marks that are present at DSBs sites. Required for immunoglobulin class-switch recombination (CSR) during antibody genesis, a process that involves the generation of DNA DSBs (PubMed:15159415, PubMed:15077110). Participates to the repair and the orientation of the broken DNA ends during CSR (PubMed:26308889). In contrast, it is not required for classic NHEJ and V(D)J recombination (PubMed:15159415). Promotes NHEJ of dysfunctional telomeres (By similarity).
