Kinetics of nuclear phosphorylation ( -H2AX) in human lymphocytes treated in vitro with UVB, bleomycin and mitomycin C
21 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
After double-strand break induction, formation of γ-H2AX foci due to phosphorylation at Ser-139 of histone H2AX represents an early event of the DNA damage response (DDR). γ-H2AX foci are then rapidly dephosphorylated as signal for the subsequent recruitment of effector proteins. The induction and disappearance of the foci can be, therefore, used to monitor the functioning of the DDR machinery in a cell...
