Symbol: YKU70 Name: Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p) Entrez gene ID: 855328 Ensembl gene ID: YMR284W Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Yku70p; Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p), involved in telomere length maintenance, structure and telomere position effect; relocates to sites of double-strand cleavage to promote nonhomologous end joining during DSB repair [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004897] [Ensembl] Observation: Deletion fo YKU70 shortens lifespan, but does not accelerate the normal aging process [10521401]. YKU70 null mutants are defective for non-homologous end-joining [8754818] and for telomeric silencing [9635192].
