DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), consisting of Ku and DNA-PKcs subunits, is the key component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) repair. Though the kinase activity of DNA-PKcs is essential for NHEJ, thus far, no in vivo substrate has been conclusively identified except for an autophosphorylation site on DNA-PKcs itself (threonine 2609). Here we report the IR-induced autophosphorylation of DNA-PKcs at a novel site,serine 2056, and phosphorylation at this site is required for the repair of DSBs by NHEJ. Interestingly, IR-induced DNA-PKcs autophosphorylation is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner with attenuated phosphorylation in the S phase. In contrast, DNA replication-associated DSBs result in DNA-PKcs autophosphorylation and localization to DNA damage sites. These results indicate that, while IR-induced DNA-PKcs phosphorylation is attenuated in S phase, DNA-PKcs is preferentially activated by the physiologically relevant DNA replication-associated DSBs at the sites of DNA synthesis.
