The DNA damage response is a phosphorylation-based signal transduction pathway essential for cell viability. Can we expand our knowledge of this pathway using computational biology? We have analyzed the substrates of the ATM and defined how many of them are influenced by replicative stress (the cell cycle). Then, using functional enrichment data from the substrates, we have experimentally addressed the function of specific components at the DNA damage sites, in particular the 53BP1 protein.
We show that TUDOR domain is dispensable for the binding to the DNA and alternative parts of the protein to be involved in the DNA binding. Further comparative analyses with bacterial homologues indicate a role in nucleic acids processing.
