The 53BP1 homolog in C. elegans influences DNA repair and promotes apoptosis in response to ionizing radiation.

53BP1 contributes to activation of the G2/M checkpoint downstream of ATM and MDC1 in response to ionizing radiation and promotes nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) in mammalian cells. In order to determine whether the cellular activities of 53BP1 are conserved in the model organism C. elegans, we anal...
