Protein kinase CK2 localizes to sites of DNA double-strand break regulating the cellular response to DNA damage
9 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a nuclear complex composed of a large catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and a heterodimeric DNA-targeting subunit Ku. DNA-PK is a major component of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair mechanism, which is activated in the presence of DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen species and radiomimetic drugs. We have recently...
