ATM and related protein kinases: safeguarding genome integrity
TLDR
Understanding ATM's mode of action provides new insights into the association between defective responses to DNA damage and cancer, and brings us closer to resolving the issue of cancer predisposition in some A-T carriers.Citations

The DNA-damage response in human biology and disease
Stephen P. Jackson,Jiri Bartek +1 more
TL;DR: The authors' improving understanding of DNA-damage responses is providing new avenues for disease management, and these responses are biologically significant because they prevent diverse human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and redox regulation in cellular signaling
TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms through which ROS directly interact with critical signaling molecules to initiate signaling in a broad variety of cellular processes, such as proliferation and survival, ROS homeostasis and antioxidant gene regulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, apoptosis, and aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticancer activities of histone deacetylase inhibitors.
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular events that underlie the anticancer effects of HDAC inhibitors are summarized and how such information could be used in optimizing the development and application of these agents in the clinic, either as monotherapies or in combination with other anticancer drugs are discussed.

Patterns of Somatic Mutation in Human Cancer Genomes
TL;DR: In this paper, the coding exons of the family of 518 protein kinases were sequenced in 210 cancers of diverse histological types to explore the nature of the information that will be derived from cancer genome sequencing.

TL;DR: More than 1,000 somatic mutations found in 274 megabases of DNA corresponding to the coding exons of 518 protein kinase genes in 210 diverse human cancers reveal the evolutionary diversity of cancers and implicates a larger repertoire of cancer genes than previously anticipated.

Journal ArticleDOI
DNA damage activates ATM through intermolecular autophosphorylation and dimer dissociation
TL;DR: It is shown that ATM is held inactive in unirradiated cells as a dimer or higher-order multimer, with the kinase domain bound to a region surrounding serine 1981 that is contained within the previously described ‘FAT’ domain.

TL;DR: A gene, ATM, that is mutated in the autosomal recessive disorder ataxia telangiectasia was identified by positional cloning on chromosome 11q22-23 and encoded a putative protein that is similar to several yeast and mammalian phosphatidylinositol-3' kinases that are involved in mitogenic signal transduction, meiotic recombination, and cell cycle control.

DNA double-strand breaks: signaling, repair and the cancer connection.
TL;DR: Recent progress is described in understanding of how cells detect and signal the presence and repair of one particularly important form of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation—the DNA double-strand break (DSB).

Activation of the ATM Kinase by Ionizing Radiation and Phosphorylation of p53
Christine E. Canman,Dae-Sik Lim,Karlene A. Cimprich,Yoichi Taya,Katsuyuki Tamai,Kazuyasu Sakaguchi,Ettore Appella,Michael B. Kastan,Janet D. Siliciano +8 more
TL;DR: The p53 tumor suppressor protein is activated and phosphorylated on serine-15 in response to various DNA damaging agents, such as ionizing radiation, but not ultraviolet radiation as discussed by the authors.
