Abstract excerpt
Mediator of DNA damage checkpoint 1 (MDC1) plays an important role in the DNA damage response (DDR). MDC1 functions as a mediator protein and binds multiple proteins involved in different aspects of the DDR. However, little is know about the organization of MDC1 complexes. Here we show that ataxia telangiectasia, mutated (ATM) phosphorylates MDC1 at Thr-98 following DNA damage, which promotes its oligomerization....
