53BP1: function and mechanisms of focal recruitment

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference Publication/ProceedingConference Publicationpeer-review

Abstract

53BP1 (p53-binding protein 1) is classified as a mediator adaptor of the DNA-damage response, and is recruited to nuclear structures termed foci following genotoxic insult. In the present paper, we review the functions of S3BP1 in DNA-damage checkpoint activation and DNA repair, and the mechanisms of its recruitment and activation following DNA damage. We focus in particular on the role of covalent histone modifications in this process.
