Akt Promotes Post-Irradiation Survival of Human Tumor Cells through Initiation, Progression, and Termination of DNA-PKcs–Dependent DNA Double-Strand Break Repair
17 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Akt phosphorylation has previously been described to be involved in mediating DNA damage repair through the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. Yet the mechanism how Akt stimulates DNA-protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs)-dependent DNA double-strand break (DNA-DSB) repair has not been described so far. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism by which Akt can interact with DNA-PKcs...
