Abstract excerpt
Relocalization of checkpoint proteins to chromatin flanking DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is critical for cellular responses to DNA damage. Schizosaccharomyces pombe Crb2, which mediates Chk1 activation by Rad3(ATR), forms ionizing radiation-induced nuclear foci (IRIF). Crb2 C-terminal BRCT domains (BRCT(2)) bind histone H2A phosphorylated at a C-terminal SQ motif by Tel1(ATM) and Rad3(ATR), although the...
