A very early step in the response of
mammalian cells to DNA double-strand breaks is the
phosphorylation of histone H2AX at serine 139 at the sites of DNA
damage. Although the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases, DNA-PK
(DNA-dependent protein
kinase), ATM (ataxia telangiectasia
mutated), and ATR (ATM and
Rad3-related), have all been implicated in H2AX
phosphorylation, the specific kinase involved has not yet been
identified. To definitively identify the specific kinase(s) that
phosphorylates H2AX in vivo, we have utilized
DNA-PKcs
/
and Atm
/
cell lines and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We find that H2AX phosphorylation and nuclear focus formation are normal in DNA-PKcs
/
cells and severely compromised in
Atm
/
cells. We also find that ATM can phosphorylate H2AX in
vitro and that ectopic expression of ATM in Atm
/
fibroblasts restores H2AX phosphorylation in vivo. The minimal H2AX
phosphorylation in Atm
/
fibroblasts can be abolished by low
concentrations of wortmannin suggesting that DNA-PK, rather than ATR,
is responsible for low levels of H2AX phosphorylation in the absence of
ATM. Our results clearly establish ATM as the major kinase involved in
the phosphorylation of H2AX and suggest that ATM is one of the earliest
kinases to be activated in the cellular response to double-strand breaks.
