Abstract excerpt
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) in chromosomal DNA elicit a rapid signaling response through the ATM protein kinase. ATM corresponds to Tel1 in budding yeast. Here we show that the catalytic activity of Tel1 is altered by protein binding at DNA ends via the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex. Like ATM, Tel1 is activated through interaction with the MRX complex and DNA ends. In vivo, Tel1 activation is enhanced in sae2Δ...
