Large numbers of peptides encoded in human short open reading frames have been recently identified but not yet functionally characterized. Results: A peptide interacts with the Ku heterodimer and stimulates nonhomologous end-joining DNA repair. Conclusion: Newly discovered cellular peptides can be functionally characterized by identifying their interaction partners. Significance: Short ORF-encoded polypeptides participate in essential cellular processes. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
