DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit; DNA-PK catalytic subunit; DNA-PKcs; DNPK1; p460 (PRKDC, HYRC, HYRC1)

Function: - catalytic subunit of dsDNA-associated protein kinase - serine/threonine protein kinase - acts as a molecular sensor for DNA damage - role in DNA nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break (DSB) repair & V(D)J recombination - must be bound to DNA to express its catalytic properties - promotes processing of hairpin DNA structures in V(D)J recombination by activation of the hairpin endonuclease artemis (DCLRE1C) - assembly of the DNA-PK complex at DNA ends is also required for the NHEJ ligation step. required to protect & align broken ends of DNA - may also act as a scaffold protein to aid the localization of DNA repair proteins to the site of damage - found at the ends of chromosomes, suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability & the prevention of chromosomal end fusion - also involved in modulation of transcription - recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q - phosphorylates Ser-139 of histone variant H2AX/H2AFX, thus regulating DNA damage response - phosphorylates DCLRE1C, c-Abl/ABL1, histone H1, HSPCA, c-jun/JUN, p53/TP53, PARP1, POU2F1, DHX9, SRF, XRCC1, XRCC1, XRCC4, XRCC5, XRCC6, WRN, MYC & RFA2 - can phosphorylate C1D not only in the presence of linear DNA but also in the presence of supercoiled DNA - ability to phosphorylate TP53/p53 in the presence of supercoiled DNA is dependent on C1D - activity seems to be attenuated by autophosphorylation - phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR - autophosphorylated on Thr-2609, Thr-2638 & Thr-2647 - Thr-2609 is a DNA damage-inducible phosphorylation site (inducible with ionizing radiation, IR) - autophosphorylation induces a conformational change that leads to remodeling of the DNA-PK complex, requisite for efficient end processing & DNA repair - DNA-PK is a heterotrimer of PRKDC & the Ku p70-p86 (XRCC6-XRCC5) dimer - formation of this complex may be promoted by interaction with ILF3 - associates with the DNA-bound Ku heterodimer, but it can also bind to & be activated by free DNA - interacts with DNA-PKcs-interacting protein (KIP) with the region upstream the kinase domain - PRKDC alone also interacts with & phosphorylates DCLRE1C, thus activating its own latent endonuclease activity - interacts with C1D - interacts with TTI1 & TELO2 Structure: - belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family - contains 1 FAT domain - contains 1 FATC domain - contains 2 HEAT repeats - contains 1 PI3K/PI4K domain - contains 3 TPR repeats Compartment: nucleus Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Notes: - inhibited by wortmannin Comparative biology: - SCID mice show deficiencies in p350DNA-PK [2] - radio-sensitive cell line found to be deficient in p350DNA-PK [3] - DNA-PK deficient cell lines appear to have normal checkpoint controls (G1->S & G2->M) [4]
