Abstract 


The ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) protein kinase is rapidly and specifically activated in response to DNA double-strand breaks in eukaryotic cells. In this review, we summarize recent insights into the mechanism of ATM activation, focusing on the role of the Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 (MRN) complex in this process. We also compare observations of the ATM activation process in different biological systems and highlight potential candidates for cellular factors that may participate in regulating ATM activity in human cells.
