Abstract excerpt
Polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP) is a DNA strand break repair enzyme that uses separate 5' kinase and 3' phosphatase active sites to convert damaged 5'-hydroxyl/3'-phosphate strand termini to ligatable 5'-phosphate/3'-hydroxyl ends. The phosphatase active site has received particular attention as a target of inhibition in cancer therapy development. The phosphatase domain dephosphorylates a range of...
