Abstract excerpt
The Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase is regarded as the major regulator of the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). In response to DSBs, ATM dimers dissociate into active monomers in a process promoted by the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex. ATM can also be activated by oxidative stress directly in the form of exposure to H2O2. The active ATM in this case is a disulfide-crosslinked dimer...
