Target type: cellularcomponent
A protein complex that is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and, in mammals, V(D)J recombination events. It consists of the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and the DNA end-binding heterodimer Ku. [GOC:mah, PMID:10854421, PMID:12235392]
The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex is a multi-protein complex involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). It is composed of three subunits:
- **DNA-PKcs:** The catalytic subunit of the complex. It is a large, 460 kDa protein with a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-like domain and a DNA-binding domain. It possesses intrinsic DNA-dependent protein kinase activity, which is required for the phosphorylation of target proteins during DSB repair.
- **Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer:** This heterodimer binds to the ends of DSBs and acts as a scaffold for the recruitment of DNA-PKcs to the break site. It provides DNA-PKcs with access to the DNA ends and protects them from degradation.
- **XRCC4/Ligase IV complex:** This complex is responsible for the ligation of the broken DNA ends after they have been processed and aligned by the DNA-PK complex.
The DNA-PK complex plays a crucial role in NHEJ repair. It performs the following functions:
- **Binding to DNA ends:** The Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer recognizes and binds to the DNA ends, providing a platform for the recruitment of DNA-PKcs.
- **Activation of DNA-PKcs:** Once bound to the DNA ends, DNA-PKcs undergoes conformational changes and becomes activated, enabling it to phosphorylate target proteins.
- **Phosphorylation of target proteins:** Activated DNA-PKcs phosphorylates various proteins involved in DSB repair, including itself, Ku70/Ku80, and other repair factors. This phosphorylation event helps to regulate the repair process.
- **Recruitment of other repair factors:** The phosphorylated DNA-PKcs complex acts as a signaling hub, recruiting additional repair factors to the DSB site.
- **Processing of DNA ends:** The DNA-PK complex facilitates the processing of the broken DNA ends, preparing them for ligation.
- **Ligating the broken DNA ends:** The XRCC4/Ligase IV complex, which is recruited to the DSB site by DNA-PK, performs the final step of joining the processed DNA ends.
In summary, the DNA-PK complex is a crucial component of NHEJ repair. It acts as a scaffold for the recruitment of repair factors, activates key repair enzymes, and facilitates the processing and ligation of broken DNA ends. This complex ensures the efficient and accurate repair of DSBs, protecting genomic integrity.'
