What's a GeneRIF?

Lif1 phosphorylation at Ser261 is probably involved in micro-homology-dependent end joining associated with producing single-stranded DSB ends that are formed by Sae2 as early intermediates in the homologous recombination pathway.

Its phosphorylation is necessary for non-homologous end joining. (review)
Title: [Regulation mechanism of non-homologous end joining through Lif1 phosphorylation].
Data show that a lack of any of the NHEJ proteins Yku (Yku70-Yku80), Lif1 or DNA ligase IV (Dnl4) increases 5' DSB end degradation in G1 phase, with ykuDelta cells showing the strongest effect.
Title: The Yku70-Yku80 complex contributes to regulate double-strand break processing and checkpoint activation during the cell cycle.
Preliminary functional and structural studies on the Nej1p-Lif1p complex suggest that the proteins stably co-purify and the complex binds DNA with a higher affinity than each independent component

Dnl4-Lif1 plays an important part in determining repair pathway choice by participating at an early stage of DSB engagement in addition to providing the DNA ligase activity that completes nonhomologous end joining.
