Nat Cell Biol. 5:2003;572-577 In this paper we describe the visualization of inducible DSBs using arrays of Lac and Tet repressor binding sites inserted in the genome adjacent to HO and I-SceI endonuclease cut sites, respectively, in cells expressing YFP-LacI and TetI-RFP fusion proteins. It is demonstrated that DSB sites aggregate at repair centers and that the assembly and disassembly of Rad52 foci is coordinated with cell cycle progression. By time-lapse microscopy, spontaneous Rad52 foci during S phase has a median duration of eight minutes and the assembly of 600-2100 molecules of Rad52 into a focus takes 30-90 seconds.

Nature. 426:2003;194-198 Uncapped telomeres are recognized by the DSB repair machinery in senescing human cells, resulting in the formation of γ-H2AX, 53BP1, MDC1 and NBS1 foci. By chromatin immunoprecipitation, these foci form at the telomeres, suggesting that uncapped telomeres are recognized as DSBs. Inactivation of the DNA damage checkpoint allows senescent cells to resume cell cycle progression. Senescing is accompanied by phosphorylation of H2AX, SMC1, RAD17, CHK1 and CHK2, which are also phosphorylated in response to ionizing radiation.

Nat Cell Biol. 5:2003;255-260 The authors compare the dynamics of Chk2 and Nbs1 recruitment to laser-induced DSBs. Nbs1 becomes more tightly associated with the DSB sites than Chk2, although both proteins in foci are continuously exchanged with unbound protein. Chk2 becomes phosphorylated by ATM at the DSB sites and the subsequent redistribution of phosphorylated Chk2 throughout the nucleus is required for a proper transmission of the checkpoint response.

Nuclear dynamics of RAD52 group homologous recombination proteins in response to DNA damage. EMBO J. 21:2002;2030-2037 The authors use fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) and fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP) to study the dynamics of Rad51, Rad52 and Rad54 in Chinese hamster ovary cells. In the absence of DNA damage, the three proteins exhibit different diffusion rates, demonstrating that they are not part of the same multiprotein complex. In response to ionizing radiation, the three proteins form nuclear foci. The Rad54 and Rad52 proteins at foci are freely exchangeable with unbound proteins and their residence times in foci are 0.5s and 26s, respectively. In contrast, Rad51 associated with foci is not exchanged with unbound protein, indicating that it is found at the core of the DNA-damage-induced foci, probably as a filament bound to single-stranded DNA.

EMBO J. 22:2003;5612-5621 This work analyzes the activation of ATM as measured by its autophosphorylation after DNA damage in human wild type, NBS, A-TLD(M) and A-TLD(S) cell lines. Cell lines lacking any of the components of the MRN complex are deficient in ATM activation and phosphorylation of downstream ATM targets such as p53, Chk2 and Hdm2. Furthermore, ectopic expression of wild type Mre11, but not of a nuclease-defective mre11(H129L/D130V) mutant in A-TLD(S) cells, fully reconstitutes ATM activation.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 100:2003;13827-13832 By chromatin immunoprecipitation, the authors show that scDdc1 is not recruited to an HO-induced DSB in the rfa1-t11 checkpoint-defective mutant. Using the purified human hsRad17, which is a homologue of yeast scRad24, which recruits scDdc1 to DSBs in vivo, the authors show that RP-A stimulates the recruitment of hsRad17 to single-stranded DNA in vitro. These results indicate a central role of RP-A in activation of the DNA damage checkpoint response.

By chromatin immunoprecipitation, the authors also show that the yeast homologue of human ATR, scDdc2, is not recruited to an HO-induced DSB in the rfa1-t11 checkpoint-defective mutant. This result places RP-A at the core of the DNA damage checkpoint response.
