ATM orchestrates the DNA-damage response to counter toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks
G. Balmus, D. Pilger, J. Coates…·S. P. P. Jackson
The paper identifies how ATM counteracts toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks by showing that loss of NHEJ components or BRCA1-A complex confers resistance to DNA-damaging agents in ATM-deficient cells.
