PRKDC encodes DNA-PKcs, the ~470 kDa catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family with a HEAT-repeat solenoid, FAT, kinase and FATC domains. At DNA double-strand breaks the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer binds the DNA ends and recruits DNA-PKcs; DNA end binding allosterically activates its serine/threonine kinase activity (preference for S/T-Q motifs). DNA-PKcs holds and protects the ends, forms long-range synaptic complexes with XRCC4, XLF and DNA ligase IV, and phosphorylates itself in trans (T2609 and S2056 clusters) to remodel the complex for end processing and ligation in classical non-homologous end joining. In V(D)J recombination it phosphorylates and activates the Artemis nuclease to open RAG-generated coding hairpins, so loss of function causes radiosensitive severe combined immunodeficiency. Further substrates include H2AX, RPA2, LIG4, ASF1A and p53. DNA-PKcs is mainly nuclear. Context-dependent roles are reported in transcriptional activation (USF-1, AR), AKT Ser473 phosphorylation, Ku- and U3 snoRNA-dependent pre-rRNA processing in nucleoli, telomere stability, and both positive and negative regulation of DNA-triggered innate immune signalling (including inhibitory phosphorylation of cGAS).

| GO:0000460 maturation of 5.8S rRNA | IDA PMID:32103174 DNA-PKcs has KU-dependent function in rRNA processing and ha... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: DNA-PKcs kinase activity and T2609-cluster phosphorylation are needed for normal pre-rRNA processing in a Ku-dependent nucleolar role. Reason: Shao et al. (2020) show kinase-dead and phospho-site mutant DNA-PKcs cells accumulate the 21S and 12S pre-rRNA precursors (12S being the 5.8S precursor). The function is real but secondary to the gene's NHEJ role, so it is kept as non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:32103174 revealed partial accumulation of the 21S and 12S pre-rRNA precursors of the 18S and 5.8S rRNAs, respectively PMID:32103174 Together our data show that DNA-PK has RNA-dependent, cNHEJ-independent functions during ribosome biogenesis that require the kinase activity of DNA-PKcs and its phosphorylation at the T2609 cluster. |
| GO:0000723 telomere maintenance | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: DNA-PKcs contributes to telomere stability; PAINT places this at the DNA-PKcs node (PTN001673367) with human and mouse experimental seeds. Reason: PRKDC sits inside the DNA-PKcs clade that carries the IBD; the target appearing in WITH/FROM reflects its own experimental grounding. Human DNA-PKcs-null cells have altered telomere length, and UniProt records a telomere end-protection role by similarity. The telomere role is real but peripheral to NHEJ. Supporting Evidence: PMID:18710952 The catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase regulates proliferation, telomere length, and genomic stability in human somatic cells. file:human/PRKDC/PRKDC-uniprot.txt Found at the ends of chromosomes, suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability and the prevention of chromosomal end fusion |

Reason: High-throughput telomeric chromatin purification is consistent with DNA-PKcs presence at chromosome ends noted by UniProt. Location is accepted as non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:19135898 Purification of human telomeric chromatin using PICh identified the majority of known telomeric factors and uncovered a large number of novel associations. file:human/PRKDC/PRKDC-uniprot.txt Found at the ends of chromosomes, suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability and the prevention of chromosomal end fusion |
| GO:0000785 chromatin | IDA PMID:29478807 The Histone Chaperones ASF1 and CAF-1 Promote MMS22L-TONSL-M... | ACCEPT | Summary: DNA-PKcs acts on chromatin at DNA double-strand breaks, where it phosphorylates chromatin-bound substrates such as ASF1A and nucleosomal H2AX. Reason: DNA-PKcs is recruited by Ku to broken DNA ends in chromatin; Huang et al. show DNA-PKcs-dependent ASF1A phosphorylation that recruits ASF1A to chromatin, and nucleosomal H2AX is a DNA-PK substrate. is_active_in chromatin is an appropriate location for the core activity. Supporting Evidence: PMID:29478807 these data show that ASF1A is rapidly phosphorylated after DSB induction, in a manner dependent on DNA-PKcs, leading to its enrichment/recruitment to chromatin. PMID:14627815 Here we show that DNA-PK can be activated by nucleosomes through the ability of Ku to bind to the ends of nucleosomal DNA, and that the activated DNA-PK is capable of phosphorylating H2AX within the nucleosomes. |
| GO:0001933 negative regulation of protein phosphorylation | ISS GO_REF:0000024 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Transferred from mouse Prkdc, apparently from the effect on CRY1 Ser-588 phosphorylation in circadian studies, which UniProt describes as most likely indirect. Reason: DNA-PKcs is itself a protein kinase; reduced phosphorylation of one substrate (CRY1) by another kinase through an indirect mechanism is not a general negative regulation of protein phosphorylation by PRKDC. This is an over-generalisation of a peripheral, indirect phenotype. Supporting Evidence: file:human/PRKDC/PRKDC-uniprot.txt 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 mechanism |
| GO:0002218 activation of innate immune response | IDA PMID:28712728 HEXIM1 and NEAT1 Long Non-coding RNA Form a Multi-subunit Co... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: DNA-PK is reported to promote DNA-triggered IRF3-dependent innate immune signalling, as part of the HEXIM1-NEAT1 HDP-RNP and as a cytoplasmic DNA sensor. Reason: Morchikh et al. show HDP-RNP remodelling by foreign DNA leads to activation of DNA-PKcs and IRF3, and Ferguson et al. independently describe DNA-PK as an IRF3-activating DNA sensor. Other work shows DNA-PK suppresses cGAS (row for GO:0160049), so the sign is context-dependent; this immune role is non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:28712728 Remodeling leads to the release of paraspeckle proteins, recruitment of STING, and activation of DNAPKc and IRF3. PMID:23251783 Here we identify DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) as a DNA sensor that activates innate immunity. |

Double-stranded DNA binding is a core property of the DNA-dependent kinase. Supporting Evidence: PMID:33385326 Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of DNA-PKcs (DNA-PK catalytic subunit) bound to a DNA end or complexed with Ku70/80 and DNA in both inactive and activated forms PMID:28840859 Structural and biochemical analyses indicate that KU70/80 and DNA coordinately induce conformational changes of DNA-PKcs and allosterically stimulate its kinase activity. file:human/PRKDC/PRKDC-uniprot.txt Must be bound to DNA to express its catalytic properties |

Reason: High-throughput RNA-interactome capture; DNA-PKcs RNA binding is independently supported by Ku-dependent assembly on U3 snoRNA and other cellular RNAs (PMID:32103174). RNA binding is real but peripheral to the core DNA-repair function. Supporting Evidence: PMID:22658674 We identify 860 proteins that qualify as RBPs by biochemical and statistical criteria PMID:32103174 U3 activates purified DNA-PK and triggers phosphorylation of DNA-PKcs at T2609. |

Reason: Correct but less specific than what is known for PRKDC: DNA-PKcs acts in DSB repair specifically via classical NHEJ, which the gene already carries (IEA, NAS, TAS). The node placement is not disputed. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: GRANULARITY MISMATCH Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN001673367 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Node placement is sound: PRKDC lies inside the DNA-PKcs clade and acts in DSB repair. The node term is correctly broad for the clade; for human PRKDC the more specific classical NHEJ term is directly supported, so the row is refined rather than disputed. UniProtKB:P78527 SUPPORTS TRANSFER The target's own experimental DSB-repair annotation is expected descendant evidence, not circularity.

Reason: Phosphorylation of H2AX at DSBs is a signalling mark, not ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling by DNA-PKcs; the logical inference over-states the role. The underlying H2AX kinase activity is retained separately. Supporting Evidence: file:human/PRKDC/PRKDC-uniprot.txt Phosphorylates 'Ser-139' of histone variant H2AX, thereby regulating DNA damage response mechanism |

Reason: DNA-PKcs phosphorylates p53 and contributes to p53 activation after damage, but its role in apoptosis decisions is context-dependent and peripheral to NHEJ. Node placement within the DNA-PKcs clade is accepted; retained as non-core.

Reason: DNA-PKcs has no transmembrane segments and is an abundant nuclear protein; detection in a membrane preparation reflects peripheral or contaminating association, as the authors note for many non-integral proteins. A small membrane-associated pool (Feng et al. 2004) does not make membrane a meaningful location. Supporting Evidence: PMID:19946888 The remaining species were largely involved in cellular processes and molecular functions that could be predicted to be transiently associated with membranes. |

Reason: A single interaction study in an IFN-gamma context; a domain-specific binding term adds little functional information about DNA-PKcs itself. Supporting Evidence: PMID:22504299 Here we report a nuclear complex of TrpRS with the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) and with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), the major PARP in human cells. |

Reason: The full text of the cited paper places the effect at the G2/M transition (increased mitotic entry when DNA-PKcs is silenced), not G1. The replacement is the corresponding G2 checkpoint term; this remains a non-core role. Proposed replacements: mitotic G2 DNA damage checkpoint signaling Supporting Evidence: PMID:21731742 DNA-PK-dependent RPA2 phosphorylation at S4, S8 appeared to function in the G2/M checkpoint PMID:21731742 our results demonstrate that RPA2 hyperphosphorylation by DNA-PK in response to DSBs blocks unscheduled homologous recombination and delays mitotic entry. |

Reason: Context-specific transcriptional coactivation; non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:19303849 feeding induces the recruitment of DNA-PK to USF-1 and its phosphorylation, which then allows recruitment of P/CAF, resulting in USF-1 acetylation and FAS promoter activation.

Reason: The proliferation deficit accompanies genomic instability in knockout cells and is an indirect consequence, not a regulatory function of DNA-PKcs in epithelial proliferation. Supporting Evidence: PMID:18710952 the cell line lacking this gene has profound proliferation and genomic stability deficits not observed for other mammalian systems. |

Reason: Binding of a sequence-specific transcription factor that DNA-PK phosphorylates; non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:19303849 feeding induces the recruitment of DNA-PK to USF-1 and its phosphorylation, which then allows recruitment of P/CAF, resulting in USF-1 acetylation and FAS promoter activation. |

Reason: Core complex membership. Supporting Evidence: PMID:28840859 In the complex structure, DNA-PKcs, KU70, KU80 and DNA duplex form a 650-kDa heterotetramer with 1:1:1:1 stoichiometry. |

| GO:0080135 regulation of cellular response to stress | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: ARBA machine-learning annotation. Reason: Vague regulatory term; DNA-PKcs functions are captured by NHEJ, DNA damage response and specific signalling terms.

| GO:0097681 double-strand break repair via alternative nonhomologous end joining | TAS PMID:18710952 The catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase regula... | REMOVE | Summary: Author statement linking DNA-PKcs to alternative NHEJ. Reason: By GO definition, alternative NHEJ is independent of factors important for V(D)J recombination, and DNA-PKcs is one of those classical NHEJ factors. DNA-PKcs acts in classical NHEJ (GO:0006303, accepted). Alt-EJ activity observed in DNA-PKcs-deficient cells would not make DNA-PKcs a participant. Supporting Evidence: PMID:18710952 DNA-PK functions in the nonhomologous end-joining pathway for the repair of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) introduced by either exogenous DNA damage or endogenous processes, such as lymphoid V(D)J recombination. PMID:10207111 These DNA-PKcs mutant constructs are able to express the protein but fail to complement the DNA DSB or V(D)J recombination defects of DNA-PKcs mutant cells. |

Reason: Direct mechanism (cGAS phosphorylation) with genetic and patient-cell support; an immune-regulatory role that is non-core relative to NHEJ. Supporting Evidence: PMID:33273464 we report that DNA-PK phosphorylates cGAS and suppresses its enzymatic activity. PMID:35460603 Activated DNA-PK phosphorylates PARP1 on Thr594, thus facilitating the cytoplasmic translocation of PARP1 to inhibit the antiviral immunity both in vitro and in vivo. |
| GO:1902036 regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation | IEA GO_REF:0000107 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Mouse-to-human transfer of regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Reason: Derived from mouse DNA-PKcs mutants with bone marrow failure and reduced protein synthesis, which Shao et al. attribute to defective 18S rRNA processing. These haematopoietic and translational phenotypes are downstream consequences of the ribosome-biogenesis role (annotated separately), not regulation of these processes by DNA-PKcs. Supporting Evidence: PMID:32103174 Blocking the phosphorylation of DNA-PKcs at the T2609 cluster, but not the S2056 cluster, led to KU-dependent defects in 18S rRNA processing, compromised global protein synthesis in haematopoietic cells and caused bone marrow failure in mice. |

| GO:2001034 positive regulation of double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining | IDA PMID:26237645 Local generation of fumarate promotes DNA repair through inh... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: DNA-PK phosphorylation of FH promotes local fumarate production and further DNA-PK accumulation at DSBs. Reason: A feed-forward loop in which DNA-PK enhances its own NHEJ function; DNA-PKcs is primarily a direct NHEJ participant (GO:0006303), so the regulatory term is non-core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:26237645 this increases the accumulation of the Ku70-containing DNA-PK at DSB regions for non-homologous end-joining DNA repair and cell survival. |
| GO:0035861 site of double-strand break | IDA PMID:12231622 Autophosphorylation of the DNA-dependent protein kinase cata... | NEW | Summary: Autophosphorylated DNA-PKcs (pT2609) forms foci that colocalize with gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 at DSBs. Reason: DNA-PKcs is recruited by Ku to DNA ends at DSBs, where it performs its NHEJ function; this location is not otherwise captured (only nucleus/nucleoplasm/chromatin). Comparator check (QuickGO, Oct 2026): other NHEJ/DSB factors XRCC4, NHEJ1/XLF, PAXX, TP53BP1 and ATM carry this term by IDA, while XRCC5, XRCC6 and LIG4 do not, so its absence for PRKDC is not a systematic convention. A cellular component, so the process participation test does not apply. Supporting Evidence: PMID:12231622 Phosphorylated DNA-PKcs colocalizes with both gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 after DNA damage. Reactome:R-HSA-5693571 The catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs, PRKDC) is then recruited to DNA-bound Ku to form the DNA-PK holoenzyme. |

Download this section (compressed HTML)Q: Under which cell types and conditions does DNA-PKcs promote (as a cytoplasmic DNA sensor or HDP-RNP component) versus suppress (by cGAS phosphorylation) DNA-triggered innate immune signalling, and is this governed by its cytoplasmic pool?
Q: How much does DNA-PKcs contribute to AKT Ser473 phosphorylation relative to mTORC2 outside of DNA damage, and does its activation by short DNA fragments (e.g. lysosome-derived oligonucleotides after efferocytosis) involve direct binding by the DNA-PK holoenzyme?
Q: Is the Ku- and U3 snoRNA-dependent rRNA processing role conserved in human haematopoietic cells, and does it contribute to the neurological and growth phenotypes of PRKDC-deficient patients?
Q: Should GO capture the reported role in alternative end joining as negative regulation (suppression of alt-EJ by classical NHEJ) rather than participation?
Experiment: Reconstitute purified DNA-PK (DNA-PKcs plus Ku) with DNase II-generated oligonucleotides of defined length and measure kinase activity and S2056/T2609 autophosphorylation; complement in macrophages with Ku-binding-deficient or kinase-dead DNA-PKcs and test AKT S473 and proliferation after efferocytosis.
Hypothesis: Short DNA oligonucleotides released in phagolysosomes activate DNA-PKcs directly through Ku-dependent end binding.
Type: biochemical reconstitution and genetic complementation
Experiment: Knock-in phospho-null (T68A/S213A) cGAS in human monocytes with and without DNA-PKcs inhibition and measure cGAMP, IRF3 activation and ISG expression after DNA virus infection.
Hypothesis: cGAS phosphorylation by DNA-PK is the main mechanism by which DNA-PKcs restrains interferon responses in human cells.
Type: knock-in mutagenesis and signalling assays
Experiment: Express T2609-cluster phospho-null or kinase-dead DNA-PKcs in human CD34+ progenitors and measure pre-rRNA intermediates by northern blot, nucleolar localization and global translation.
Hypothesis: DNA-PKcs pre-rRNA processing function is conserved in human haematopoietic progenitors.
Type: genetic perturbation in primary cells
