Abstract

The variant histone H2AX is phosphorylated in response to UV irradiation of primary human fibroblasts in a complex fashion that is radically different from that commonly reported after DNA double-strand breaks. H2AX phosphorylation after exposure to ionizing radiation produces foci, which are detectable by immunofluorescence microscopy and have been adopted as clear and consistent quantitative markers for DNA double-strand breaks. Here we show that in contrast to ionizing radiation, UV irradiation mainly induces H2AX phosphorylation as a diffuse, even, pan-nuclear staining. UV induced pan-nuclear phosphorylation of H2AX is present in all phases of the cell cycle and is highest in S phase. H2AX phosphorylation in G 1 cells depends on nucleotide excision repair factors that may expose the S-139 site to kinase activity, is not due to DNA double-strand breaks, and plays a larger role in UV-induced signal transduction than previously realized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
