Role of DNA-dependent protein kinase in recognition of radiation-induced DNA damage in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex plays a crucial role in radiation-induced DNA damage recognition. The complex includes the ku heterodimer, which comprises ku 70 and ku 80 subunits, that binds DNA termini of breaks without sequence specificity, and the catalytic subunit DNA-PKCS: Th...
