ATM基因是PI3K(phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase)家族的成员之一,当正常细胞的DNA发生断裂时,ATM蛋白可激活DNA修复机制,使受损的DNA恢复同时参与细胞周期的控制。ATM基因是与DNA损伤检验有关的一个重要基因。ATM基因剔除小鼠是研究基因突变机制、放射损伤、肿瘤发生、衰老等疾病机制的工具小鼠。
ATM,CHK1和CHK2对p53進行磷酸化,活化的p53去活化其他的基因,而這些相关的基因与G1-S/CDK和S/CDK调控细胞周期并修复DNA的损伤,如果DNA损伤过于严重,则启动细胞凋亡程序。ATM或ATR等PI3K家系成员会合组蛋白H2AX以最直接的方式或最快的速率与损伤点接触,形成一种结构信号分子。ATM分子能以γ-H2AX一样的速度积累并形成聚集的点。
ATM基因参与细胞DNA修复、周期调控的信号通路总结如图。
