Journal ArticleDOI

DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit: A relative of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the ataxia telangiectasia gene product

TL;DR: The cloning of the DNA- PKcs cDNA is described and it is shown that DNA-PKcs falls into the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase family, which is most similar to PI kinase family members involved in cell cycle control, DNA repair, and DNA damage responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repair of ionizing radiation-induced DNA double strand breaks by non-homologous end-joining

TL;DR: The present review will discuss the current understanding of the mechanism of NHEJ in mammalian cells and discuss the roles of DNA-PKcs and DNA- PK-mediated phosphorylation in NHEH (non-homologous end-joining).
Journal ArticleDOI

GC box binding induces phosphorylation of Sp1 by a DNA-dependent protein kinase

TL;DR: It is reported that SV40 infection induces Sp1 phosphorylation, and it is discovered that Sp1 becomes quantitatively phosphorylated in an in vitro transcription extract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of p350 subunit of DNA-activated protein kinase from a radiosensitive human cell line

TL;DR: The radiosensitive rodent mutant cell line xrs-5 is defective in DNA double-strand break repair and lacks the Ku component of the DNA-activated protein kinase, DNA-PK, which suggests that DNA- PK kinase activity is involved in DNAdouble-stranded break repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human DNA-activated protein kinase phosphorylates serines 15 and 37 in the amino-terminal transactivation domain of human p53.

TL;DR: The study suggests that DNA-PK may have a role in regulating cell growth and indicates how phosphorylation of serine 15 in DNA-bound p53 could alter p53 function.
