The DNA-activated protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a nuclear serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates DNA-binding proteins, including several transcription factors. DNA-PK is one of a very few enzymes known to be regulated through interaction with DNA that does not have DNA as a template or substrate. We suggest that DNA-PK may function in cell homeostasis, in part through the modulation of transcriptional activity.
DNA激活蛋白激酶(DNA-PK)是一种核丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,可磷酸化包括几种转录因子在内的DNA结合蛋白。DNA-PK是已知的极少数通过与DNA相互作用进行调节的酶之一,这种相互作用不以DNA为模板或底物。我们认为,DNA-PK可能在细胞稳态中发挥作用,部分是通过调节转录活性来实现的。
