Soluble histone H2AX is induced by DNA replication stress and sensitizes cells to undergo apoptosis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chromatin-associated histone H2AX is a key regulator of the cellular responses to DNA damage. However, non-nucleosomal functions of histone H2AX are poorly characterized. We have recently shown that soluble H2AX can trigger apoptosis...
