- 2. Ku Subunit Gene
- [Ku Subunit Genes encode tightly-associated 70-kDa Ku70 Protein and 80-kDa Ku80 Protein subunits of heterodimeric DNA-binding Ku Protein, a DNA damage repair complex that, with the 470-kDa catalytic DNA-PKcs subunit forms DNA-dependent protein kinase, binds and repairs double-stranded DNA breaks, facilitates repair by nonhomologous end-joining, and is involved in V(D)J recombination. Ku also binds to DNA ends with a telomere binding protein and mediates telomere capping to prevent fusion of chromosome ends and genetic instability. KU70 and KU80 form a dyad-symmetrical ring molecule that encircles duplex DNA. Ku is identical to DNA helicase II, an ATP-dependent DNA unwinding enzyme.

- [A prion disease found exclusively among the Fore linguistic group natives of the highlands of NEW GUINEA. The illness is primarily restricted to adult females and children of both sexes. It is marked by the subacute onset of tremor and ataxia followed by motor weakness and incontinence. Death occurs within 3-6 months of disease onset. The condition is associated with ritual cannibalism, and has become rare since this practice has been discontinued. Pathologic features include a noninflammatory loss of neurons that is most prominent in the cerebellum, glial proliferation, and amyloid plaques.

- [The Kuvasz is a well-proportioned, white sheepdog. The medium-boned dog is muscular, but not bulky. The ears are folded and close to the head. Though the coat is white, the skin is generally dark. The coat is medium-length, either straight or quite wavy, with a thick undercoat. It forms an abundant mane around the neck and chest. Height: 26-30 inches (66-76 cm.)
