ATM orchestrates the DNA-damage response to counter toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks

ATM orchestrates the DNA-damage response to counter toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks

Mutations in the ATM tumor suppressor gene confer hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents. Here, the authors provide evidence that these hypersensitivities reflect a crucial role for ATM at damaged replication forks being to prevent toxic DNA end-joining leading to chromosome fusion...
