The DNA-activated serine/threonine protein kinase (DNA-PK) is composed of a large (approximately 460 kDa) catalytic polypeptide (DNA-PKcs) and Ku, a heterodimeric DNA-binding component (p70/p80) that targets DNA-PKcs to DNA. A 41-kbp segment of the DNA-PKcs gene was isolated, and a 7902-bp segment was sequenced. The sequence contains a polymorphic Pvu II restriction enzyme site, and comparing the sequence with that of the cDNA revealed the positions of nine exons. The DNA-PKcs gene was mapped to band q11 of chromosome 8 by in situ hybridization. This location is coincident with that of XRCC7, the gene that complements the DNA double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination defects (where V is variable, D is diversity, and J is joining) of hamster V3 and murine severe combined immunodeficient (scid) cells.
DNA激活的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶(DNA-PK)由一个大型(约460 kDa)催化多肽(DNA-PKcs)和Ku组成,Ku是一种异源二聚体DNA结合成分(p70/p80),可将DNA-PKcs靶向至DNA。分离出DNA-PKcs基因的一个41-kbp片段,并对一个7902-bp片段进行了测序。该序列包含一个多态性Pvu II限制性酶切位点,将该序列与cDNA序列进行比较,揭示了9个外显子的位置。通过原位杂交将DNA-PKcs基因定位到8号染色体的q11带。该位置与XRCC7基因的位置一致,XRCC7基因可弥补仓鼠V3细胞和小鼠严重联合免疫缺陷(scid)细胞的DNA双链断裂修复及V(D)J重组缺陷(其中V为可变区,D为多样区,J为连接区)。
