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