DNA Double-stranded Breaks Induce Histone H2AX Phosphorylation on Serine 139

TL;DR: In this paper, a histone H2AX species that has been phosphorylated specifically at serine 139 was found to be a major component of DNA double-stranded break.
Journal ArticleDOI

Megabase chromatin domains involved in DNA double-strand breaks in vivo.

TL;DR: The results offer direct visual confirmation that γ-H2AX forms en masse at chromosomal sites of DNA double-strand breaks and suggest the possible existence of units of higher order chromatin structure involved in monitoring DNA integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical role for histone H2AX in recruitment of repair factors to nuclear foci after DNA damage.

TL;DR: The evidence presented strongly supports a role for the gamma-H2AX and the PI-3 protein kinase family in focus formation at sites of double-strand breaks and suggests the possibility of a change in chromatin structure accompanying double-Strand break repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

γH2AX and cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used histone H2AX phosphorylation on a serine four residues from the carboxyl terminus (producing gammaH2AX) as a sensitive marker for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
