ATM phosphorylation of the actin-binding protein drebrin controls oxidation stress-resistance in mammalian neurons and C. elegans

Drebrin is an actin-binding protein known to play a role in neuronal dendritic spines but its precise regulation is unclear. Here, the authors report that DBN is activated by oxidative stress in an ATM-kinase dependent manner and increases resistance to oxidative stress in mice and in C. elegans.
