title: DNA repair: how to PIKK a partner.
abstract: In eukaryotes, members of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase-related protein kinase (PIKK) family co-ordinate the cellular response to DNA damage. But how do these important kinases detect DNA damage and relay this information to the DNA repair and checkpoint machinery?
