Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous DNA-PKcs deficiencies in animals result in a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) phenotype because DNA-PKcs is required to activate Artemis for V(D)J recombination coding end hairpin opening. The impact on signal joint formation in these spontaneous mutant mammals is variable. Genetically engineered DNA-PKcs null mice and cells from them show a >1,000-fold reduction in coding joint formation and...
