Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs) consisting of SMG-1, ATM, ATR, DNA-PKcs, and mTOR are a family of proteins involved in the surveillance of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. They are involved in mechanisms responsible for genome stability, mRNA quality, and translation. They share a large N-terminal domain and a C-terminal FATC domain in addition to the unique serine/threonine protein...
