Abstract excerpt
Two highly conserved double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways, homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), function in all eukaryotes. How a cell chooses which pathway to utilize is an area of active research and debate. During NHEJ, the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) functions as a "gatekeeper" regulating DNA end access. Here, we provide evidence that DNA-PK regulates DNA end...
