However, possible roles for Arg (Abl-related gene) in DNA damage response are unknown. Here, we show that ionizing radiation (IR)-induced Rad51 focus formation is reduced in Arg-deficient cells generated from a chicken B cell line by targeted disruption. This is consistent with the findings that Arg-deficient cells display hypersensitivity to IR, elevated frequencies of IR-induced chromosomal aberrations, and reduced targeted integration frequencies. All of these abnormalities in DNA damage repair are also observed in ATM-deficient cells but not in c-Abl-deficient cells. Finally, we show that Arg interacts with and phosphorylates Rad51 in 293T cells. These results suggest that Arg plays a role in homologous recombinational (HR) DNA repair by phosphorylating Rad51., 金沢大学がん研究所}, pages = {697--702}, title = {Arg tyrosine kinase is involved in homologous recombinational DNA repair}, volume = {299}, year = {2002} }
