A Ku80 fragment with dominant negative activity imparts a radiosensitive phenotype to CHO-K1 cells.
DNA non-homologous end joining, the major mechanism for the repair of DNA double-strands breaks (DSB) in mammalian cells requires the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), a complex composed of a large catalytic subunit of 460 kDa (DNA-PKcs) and the heterodimer Ku70-Ku80 that binds to double-stranded DNA ends. Mutations in any of the three subunits of DNA-PK lead to extreme radiosensitivity an...
متن کاملThe establishment and characterization of cell lines stably expressing human Ku80 tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein.
The Ku protein is a complex of two subunits, Ku70 and Ku80, and it plays a role in multiple nuclear processes, e.g., nonhomologous DNA-end-joining (NHEJ), chromosome maintenance, and transcription regulation. On the other hand, several studies have reported a cytoplasmic or cell surface localization of Ku in various cell types. The mechanism underlying the regulation of all the diverse function...
متن کاملElectric discharge plasmas influence attachment of cultured CHO K1 cells.
Non-thermal plasmas can be generated by electric discharges in gases. These plasmas are reactive media, capable of superficial treatment of various materials. A novel non-thermal atmospheric plasma source (plasma needle) has been developed and tested. Plasma appears at the end of a metal pin as a submillimetre glow. We investigate the possibility of applying the plasma needle directly to living...
متن کاملKu80 participates in the targeting of retroviral transgenes to the chromatin of CHO cells.
The heterodimer Ku70/80 Ku is the DNA-binding component of the DNA-PK complex required for the nonhomologous end-joining pathway. It participates in numerous nuclear processes, including telomere and chromatin structure maintenance, replication, and transcription. Ku interacts with retroviral preintegration complexes and is thought to interfere with the retroviral replication cycle, in particul...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
