Structural highlights
DiseasePRKDC_HUMAN Severe combined immunodeficiency due to DNA-PKcs deficiency. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionPRKDC_HUMAN Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a molecular sensor for DNA damage. Involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break (DSB) repair and 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). The assembly of the DNA-PK complex at DNA ends is also required for the NHEJ ligation step. Required to protect and 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 and 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, thereby regulating DNA damage response mechanism. Phosphorylates DCLRE1C, c-Abl/ABL1, histone H1, HSPCA, c-jun/JUN, p53/TP53, PARP1, POU2F1, DHX9, SRF, XRCC1, XRCC1, XRCC4, XRCC5, XRCC6, WRN, MYC and RFA2. Can phosphorylate C1D not only in the presence of linear DNA but also in the presence of supercoiled DNA. Ability to phosphorylate p53/TP53 in the presence of supercoiled DNA is dependent on C1D. Contributes to the determination of the circadian period length by antagonizing phosphorylation of CRY1 'Ser-588' and increasing CRY1 protein stability, most likely through an indirect machanism. Interacts with CRY1 and CRY2; negatively regulates CRY1 phosphorylation.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) initially protects broken DNA ends but then promotes their processing during non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Before ligation by NHEJ, DNA hairpin ends generated during V(D)J recombination must be opened by the Artemis nuclease, together with autophosphorylated DNA-PK. Structures of DNA-PK bound to DNA before and after phosphorylation, and in complex with Artemis and a DNA hairpin, reveal an essential functional switch. When bound to open DNA ends in its protection mode, DNA-PK is inhibited for cis-autophosphorylation of the so-called ABCDE cluster but activated for phosphorylation of other targets. In contrast, DNA hairpin ends promote cis-autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of four Thr residues in ABCDE leads to gross structural rearrangement of DNA-PK, widening the DNA binding groove for Artemis recruitment and hairpin cleavage. Meanwhile, Artemis locks DNA-PK into the kinase-inactive state. Kinase activity and autophosphorylation of DNA-PK are regulated by different DNA ends, feeding forward to coordinate NHEJ events. Autophosphorylation transforms DNA-PK from protecting to processing DNA ends.,Liu L, Chen X, Li J, Wang H, Buehl CJ, Goff NJ, Meek K, Yang W, Gellert M Mol Cell. 2022 Jan 6;82(1):177-189.e4. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2021.11.025.
