γH2AX foci analysis for monitoring DNA double-strand break repair: strengths, limitations and optimization

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that following exposure to ionising radiation, γH2AX foci analysis can provide a sensitive monitor of DSB formation and repair and techniques to optimise the analysis are described, enabling the procedure to be optimally exploited but not misused.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATM and Artemis promote homologous recombination of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in G2.

TL;DR: It is shown that in G2, as in G1, NHEJ represents the major DSB‐repair pathway whereas HR is only essential for repair of ∼15% of X‐ or γ‐ray‐induced DSBs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome breakage after G2 checkpoint release

TL;DR: The efficiency and interplay of ATM's G2 checkpoint and repair functions are examined, showing that checkpoint release occurs at a point when approximately three to four premature chromosome condensation breaks and ∼20 γH2AX foci remain.
Journal ArticleDOI

CtIP and MRN promote non-homologous end-joining of etoposide-induced DNA double-strand breaks in G1

TL;DR: It is shown that human cells arrested in G0/G1 repair etoposide-induced DSBs by NHEJ and, surprisingly, require the MRN complex (the ortholog of MRX) and CtIP.
