摘要
How phosphorylated histone H2AX, known as gamma-H2AX, functions in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks is the subject of intensive investigation. Recent research in yeast and mammalian cells shows that gamma-H2AX facilitates post-replicational DNA repair by recruiting cohesin, a protein complex that holds sister chromatids together.
