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, ATR, and DNA-PK: The Trinity at the Heart of the DNA Damage Response.

TL;DR: A historical perspective of their discovery is provided and their established functions in sensing and responding to genotoxic stress are discussed, as well as emerging non-canonical roles and how knowledge of ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK is being translated to benefit human health.

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.

The Mechanism of Double-Strand DNA Break Repair by the Nonhomologous DNA End-Joining Pathway

TL;DR: Patients lacking normal NHEJ are not only sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR), but also severely immunodeficient in the range of DNA end substrate configurations upon which they can act.

Mechanism of eukaryotic homologous recombination.

TL;DR: HR accessory factors that facilitate other stages of the Rad51- and Dmc1-catalyzed homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange reaction have also been identified.

53BP1 Inhibits Homologous Recombination in Brca1-Deficient Cells by Blocking Resection of DNA Breaks

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA breaks in Brca1-deficient cells are aberrantly joined into complex chromosome rearrangements by a process dependent on the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) factors 53BP1 and DNA ligase 4, illustrating that HR and NHEJ compete to process DNA breaks that arise during DNA replication.
