pubmed:abstractText
The Ku protein is a tightly associated heterodimer, comprised of 70-kilodalton (kD) and 86-kD subunits, that forms the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex together with the 470-kD DNA-PKcs catalytic subunit, and is involved mainly in DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair. The objective of the current study was to investigate the expression and DNA-binding activity of the Ku protein in fresh tissues from patients with bladder carcinoma and to compare it with that in nontumor tissues obtained from the same organ. Moreover, the DNA-binding activity of Ku was assessed after exposure of the tumor cells to 1 or 2 grays (Gy) of X-rays. Furthermore, the level of phosphorylated Ku was analyzed in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartment of normal tissue after exposure to 2 Gy of X-rays.
