Target data Histone reader protein required for checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage within both the S phase and G2/M phases of the cell cycle (PubMed : 12475977, PubMed : 12499369, PubMed : 12551934, PubMed : 12607003, PubMed : 12607004, PubMed : 12607005, PubMed : 12611903, PubMed : 14695167, PubMed : 15201865, PubMed : 15377652, PubMed : 16049003, PubMed : 16377563, PubMed : 30898438). Specifically recognizes and binds histone H2AX phosphorylated at 'Ser-139', a marker of DNA damage, serving as a scaffold for the recruitment of DNA repair and signal transduction proteins to discrete foci of DNA damage sites (PubMed : 12607005, PubMed : 15201865, PubMed : 16049003, PubMed : 16377563, PubMed : 30898438). Also required for downstream events subsequent to the recruitment of these proteins (PubMed : 12607005, PubMed : 15201865, PubMed : 16049003, PubMed : 16377563, PubMed : 18582474). These include phosphorylation and activation of the ATM, CHEK1 and CHEK2 kinases, and stabilization of TP53/p53 and apoptosis (PubMed : 12499369, PubMed : 12551934, PubMed : 12607004). ATM and CHEK2 may also be activated independently by a parallel pathway mediated by TP53BP1 (PubMed : 12499369, PubMed : 12551934, PubMed : 12607004). Required for chromosomal stability during mitosis by promoting recruitment of TOPBP1 to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) : TOPBP1 forms filamentous assemblies that bridge MDC1 and tether broken chromosomes during mitosis (PubMed : 30898438). Required for the repair of DSBs via homologous recombination by promoting recruitment of NBN component of the MRN complex to DSBs (PubMed : 18411307, PubMed : 18582474, PubMed : 18583988, PubMed : 18678890).
