Where this comes from

Abstract

DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), a central player in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, shows emerging roles in metabolic regulation. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Park et al. (2017) elucidate a molecular mechanism whereby DNA-PK negatively regulates AMPK, contributing to metabolic and fitness decline during aging.
