A Double-Strand Break Repair Defect in ATM-Deficient Cells Contributes to Radiosensitivity
15 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
The ATM protein, which is mutated in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia (AT), is central to cell cycle checkpoint responses initiated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). ATM's role in DSB repair is currently unclear as is the basis underlying the radiosensitivity of AT cells. We applied immunofluorescence detection of gamma-H2AX nuclear foci and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to quantify the repair of DSBs...
