XLF-Cernunnos, XRcc4-like factor, NHEJ component XLF (also called Cernunnos) is Xrcc4-like-factor, and interacts with the XRCC4-DNA ligase IV complex to promote DNA non-homologous end-joining. It directly interacts with the XRCC4-Ligase IV complex and siRNA-mediated down-regulation of XLF in human cell lines leads to radio-sensitivity and impaired DNA non-homologous end-joining. This family contains Nej1 (non-homologous end-joining factor), and Lif1, ligase-interacting factor. XLF forms one of the components of the NHEJ machinery for DNA non-homologous end-joining.
