Contribution of the Atm Protein to Maintaining Cellular Homeostasis Evidenced by Continuous Activation of the AP-1 Pathway in Atm-deficient Brains
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of genome stability is essential for keeping cellular homeostasis. The DNA damage response is a central component in maintaining genome integrity. Among of the most cytotoxic DNA lesions are double strand breaks (DSBs) caused by ionizing radiation or radiomimetic chemicals. ATM is missing or inactivated in patients with ataxia-telangiectasia. Ataxia-telangiectasia patients display a pleiotropic...
