Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded DNA breaks induce serine phosphorylation of histone H2A.X, producing γ-H2A.X foci that are then recognized by DNA damage response pathway proteins. Formation of γ-H2A.X is therefore critical for the repair of DNA double-stranded breaks and maintenance of genomic stability, and defects in the recognition or repair of double-stranded breaks can result in tumorigenesis. However, key details regarding...
