In vivo Analysis of H2AX Phosphorylation Induced by γ-Radiation
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Exposure to ionizing radiation in modern societies is inevitable and can cause a variety of adverse health effects such as cancer and birth defects. Therefore, a reliable, repeatable and sensitive method is required for evaluation of radiation exposure. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of hist...
متن کاملMST1 promotes apoptosis through phosphorylation of histone H2AX.
MST1 (mammalian STE20-like kinase 1) is a serine/threonine kinase that is cleaved and activated by caspases during apoptosis. Overexpression of MST1 induces apoptotic morphological changes such as chromatin condensation, but the mechanism is not clear. Here we show that MST1 induces apoptotic chromatin condensation through its phosphorylation of histone H2AX at Ser-139. During etoposide-induced...
متن کاملBRCA1, Histone H2AX Phosphorylation, and Male Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation
In mammalian spermatogenesis, the X and Y chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced during the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase (meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, MSCI), forming a condensed chromatin domain termed the sex or XY body. The nucleosomal core histone H2AX is phosphorylated within the XY chromatin domain just prior to MSCI, and it has been hypothesized that this triggers the c...
متن کاملHistone H2AX in DNA repair
In eucaryotic cells, DNA is bound to various proteins and forms a complex nucleoprotein structure called chromatin. Indispensable and ubiquitous chromatin components are histones, small proteins of highly conserved primary structure. Two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 type, form the nucleosomal core around which a 146 base pair (bp) stretch of DNA is wrapped. Histone H1 is bound to about...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of H2AX at Ser139 and a new phosphorylation site Ser16 by RSK2 decreases H2AX ubiquitination and inhibits cell transformation.
Histone H2AX is a histone H2A variant that is ubiquitously expressed throughout the genome. It plays a key role in the cellular response to DNA damage and has been designated as the histone guardian of the genome. Histone H2AX deficiency decreases genomic stability and increases tumor susceptibility of normal cells and tissues. However, the role of histone H2AX phosphorylation in malignant tran...
