Common mechanisms of PIKK regulation

CA Lovejoy, D Cortez - DNA repair, 2009 - Elsevier
Kinases in the phosphoinositide three-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family include ATM
(ataxia-telangiectasia mutated), ATR (ATM-and Rad3-related), DNA-PKcs (DNA-dependent
protein kinase catalytic subunit), mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), and SMG1
(suppressor with morphological effect on genitalia family member). These atypical protein
kinases regulate DNA damage responses, nutrient-dependent signaling, and nonsense-
mediated mRNA decay. This review focuses on the mechanisms regulating the PIKK family …
