Although the regulatory mechanism of telomerase inactivation and re-activation has not yet been clarified, there is a possibility that telomerase activity is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is considered to be a critical enzyme in DNA double-strand break repair and possibility of involvement of this enzyme in the regulation of telomerase is expected. To examin correlation between telomerase and DNA-PK, we purified DNA-PK from human leukaemic MOLT-4 cells by successive column chromatography. Through the conventional process of purification, DNA-PK activity was accompanied by telomerase activity. We used modified purification protcol in this study, and tinaly, succeeded in purification of DNA-PK separately from telomerase activity. This DNA-PK didn't show any effect on the telomerase activity, and these results indicate that the telomerase may not be regulated via phosphorylation with DNA-PK.}, pages = {7--12}, title = {Examination of The Correlation between DNA-dependent Protein Kinase and Telomerase Activity}, volume = {49}, year = {1998} }
