Localization of a Portion of Extranuclear ATM to Peroxisomes

Reads0

TLDR
It is demonstrated that a portion of ATM co-localizes with catalase, that ATM is present in purified mouse peroxisomes, and that there are reduced levels of ATM in the post-mitochondrial membrane fraction of cells from a patient with a peroxISome biogenesis disorder.

The ATM protein kinase: regulating the cellular response to genotoxic stress, and more

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that ATM-mediated phosphorylation has a role in the response to other types of genotoxic stress and it has become apparent that ATM is active in other cell signalling pathways involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATM Activation by Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: It is shown that oxidation of ATM directly induces ATM activation in the absence of DNA DSBs and the MRN complex, and that ATM is an important sensor of reactive oxygen species in human cells.

Ataxia-telangiectasia: from a rare disorder to a paradigm for cell signalling and cancer

TL;DR: First described over 80 years ago, ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a paradigm for cancer predisposition and neurodegenerative disorders and has a central role in the understanding of the DNA-damage response, signal transduction and cell-cycle control.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATM and ATR: networking cellular responses to DNA damage.

TL;DR: The protein kinases ATM and ATR are master controllers of some of these networks, acting either in concert or separately to orchestrate the responses to specific types of DNA damage or stalled replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinational DNA repair and human disease.

TL;DR: The genes and proteins related to the homologous recombinational repair (HRR) pathway that are implicated in cancer through either genetic disorders that predispose to cancer through chromosome instability or the occurrence of somatic mutations that contribute to carcinogenesis are reviewed.

A spectrophotometric method for measuring the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by catalase.

TL;DR: A quantitative, spectrophotometric technique for following the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide has been developed for routine studies of catalase kinetics and appears to give lower values forCatalase activity than do titration techniques.

A mammalian cell cycle checkpoint pathway utilizing p53 and GADD45 is defective in ataxia-telangiectasia

TL;DR: Three participants are identified (AT gene(s), p53, and GADD45) in a signal transduction pathway that controls cell cycle arrest following DNA damage; abnormalities in this pathway probably contribute to tumor development.

Atm-deficient mice: a paradigm of ataxia telangiectasia.

TL;DR: Atm-disrupted mice recapitulate the ataxia telangiectasia phenotype in humans, providing a mammalian model in which to study the pathophysiology of this pleiotropic disorder.

Targeted disruption of ATM leads to growth retardation, chromosomal fragmentation during meiosis, immune defects, and thymic lymphoma.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the ATM gene product plays an essential role in a diverse group of cellular processes, including meiosis, the normal growth of somatic tissues, immune development, and tumor suppression.
