Heterodimer composed of XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70 (PubMed:25941166, 25670504, 11493912, 22442688). Component of the core long-range non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) complex (also named DNA-PK complex) composed of PRKDC, LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC6/Ku70, XRCC5/Ku86 and NHEJ1/XLF (PubMed:25941166, 25670504, 11493912, 22442688, 33854234). Additional component of the NHEJ complex includes PAXX (PubMed:25574025, 25941166, 25670504, 27601299). Following autophosphorylation, PRKDC dissociates from DNA, leading to formation of the short-range NHEJ complex, composed of LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC6/Ku70, XRCC5/Ku86 and NHEJ1/XLF (PubMed:33854234). The XRCC5-XRCC6 dimer also associates with NAA15, and this complex displays DNA binding activity towards the osteocalcin FGF response element (OCFRE) (PubMed:12145306). In addition, XRCC5 binds to the osteoblast-specific transcription factors MSX2 and RUNX2 (PubMed:12145306). Interacts with ELF3 (PubMed:15075319). Interacts with APLF (via KBM motif) (PubMed:17353262, 17396150, 23689425, 27063109). The XRCC5/XRCC6 dimer associates in a DNA-dependent manner with APEX1 (PubMed:8621488). Identified in a complex with DEAF1 and XRCC6. Interacts with NR4A3; the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK phosphorylates and activates NR4A3 and prevents NR4A3 ubiquitinylation and degradation (PubMed:25852083). Interacts with RNF138 (PubMed:26502055). Interacts with CYREN isoform 1 (CYREN-1) and isoform 4 (CYREN-2) (via KBM motif) (PubMed:27063109, 24610814, 28959974). Interacts with WRN (via KBM motif) (PubMed:27063109). Interacts (via N-terminus) with HSF1 (via N-terminus); this interaction is direct and prevents XRCC5/XRCC6 heterodimeric binding and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair activities induced by ionizing radiation (IR) (PubMed:26359349). Interacts with DHX9; this interaction occurs in a RNA-dependent manner (PubMed:14704337). Part of the HDP-RNP complex composed of at least HEXIM1, PRKDC, XRCC5, XRCC6, paraspeckle proteins (SFPQ, NONO, PSPC1, RBM14, and MATR3) and NEAT1 RNA (PubMed:28712728). Interacts with ERCC6 (PubMed:26030138). The XRCC5-XRCC6 dimer associates with ALKBH2. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human T-cell leukemia virus 1/HTLV-1 protein HBZ.
