Human fibroblasts, capable of expressing a kinase-dead form of ATR (ATRkd), can be sensitized to the cytotoxic effects of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) by the PARP inhibitor 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide (4-AN). The combination of MMS+4-AN results in accumulation of cells in S-phase of the cell cycle and activation of Chk1. Inhibition of ATR activity by expression of ATRkd suppresses the S-phase accumulation...
DNA replication is a highly conserved and controlled process. To maintain genome integrity, the DNA must be faithfully duplicated once before chromosomes are segregated to daughter cells. Experimental insults to cells during DNA replication trigger an array of responses to help cells cope with DNA damage and replication stress. This has been coined the DNA damage response. During an unperturbed S-phase,...
The 53BP1 tumour suppressor, an important regulator of genome stability, is phosphorylated in response to ionising radiation (IR) by the ATM protein kinase, itself an important regulator of cellular responses to DNA damage. The only known sites of phosphorylation in 53BP1 are Ser25 and/or Ser29 but 53BP1 lacking these residues is still phosphorylated after DNA damage. In this study, we use mass spectrometry-based...
