Telomeric Protein Pin2/TRF1 as an Important ATM Target in Response to Double Strand DNA Breaks
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
ATM mutations are responsible for the genetic disease ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). ATM encodes a protein kinase that is activated by ionizing radiation-induced double strand DNA breaks. Cells derived from A-T patients show many abnormalities, including accelerated telomere loss and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation; they enter into mitosis and apoptosis after DNA damage. Pin2 was originally identified as a...
