Functional Dna

DNA-dependent protein kinase is a nuclear serine/threonine kinase whose catalytic properties are expressed only when the enzyme is bound to DNA ends or other discontinuities in the DNA. DNA-PK comprises two components: one mediates binding to DNA and corresponds to the heterodimeric human autoimmune antigen Ku; the other, DNA-PK catalytic subunit (DNA-PKCS), is a polypeptide of approximately 450 kDa. DNA-PK deficiencies are associated with certain mutant rodent cell lines that display defects in DNA double strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. Specifically, hamster xrs- 6 cells lack Ku function, whereas murine scid and hamster V3 cells lack functional DNA-PKCS. Furthermore, the phenotypes of xrs-6 and V3 cells can be corrected by the expression of the genes encoding the 80 kDa component of Ku or DNA-PKCS, respectively. These results imply that DNA-PK is an important component of the DNA double strand break repair/recombination apparatus. Possible roles for DNA-PK in these processes are discussed.
