ATM deficiency impairs thymocyte maturation because of defective resolution of T cell receptor α locus coding end breaks
3 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) protein plays a central role in sensing and responding to DNA double-strand breaks. Lymphoid cells are unique in undergoing physiologic double-strand breaks in the processes of Ig class switch recombination and T or B cell receptor V(D)J recombination, and a role for ATM in these processes has been suggested by clinical observations in ataxia telangiectasia patients as well...
