Soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) is used to sum Sudakov double logarithms in the $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}1$ end point region for the deep inelastic scattering structure function. The calculations are done in both the target rest frame and the Breit frame. The separation of scales in the effective theory implies that the anomalous dimension of the SCET current is linear in $\mathrm{ln}\ensuremath{\mu},$ and the anomalous dimension for the Nth moment of the structure function is linear in $\mathrm{ln}N,$ to all orders in perturbation theory. The SCET formulation is shown to be free of Landau pole singularities. Some important differences between the deep inelastic structure function and the shape function in B decay are discussed.
