Abstract excerpt
DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a DNA-activated nuclear serine/threonine protein kinase. DNA-PK consists of a regulatory sub-unit, the heterodimeric Ku protein (composed of a 70- and a 86-kDa subunit) which binds DNA ends and targets the catalytic sub-unit, DNA-PKcs to DNA strand breaks. DNA-PK plays a major role in the repair of double-strand breaks induced in DNA after exposure to ionizing radiation as...
