The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is one of the central enzymes involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. It facilitates proper alignment of the two ends of the broken DNA molecule and coordinates access of other factors to the repair complex. We discuss the latest findings on DNA-PK phosphorylation and offer a working model for the regulation of DNA-PK during DSB repair.
DNA依赖性蛋白激酶(DNA-PK)是参与DNA双链断裂(DSB)修复的核心酶之一。它促进断裂DNA分子两端的正确对齐,并协调其他因子进入修复复合体。我们讨论了关于DNA-PK磷酸化的最新发现,并提出了一个在DSB修复过程中调控DNA-PK的工作模型。
