The response of eukaryotic cells to double-strand breaks in genomic DNA includes the sequestration of many factors into nuclear foci. Recently it has been reported that a member of the histone H2A family, H2AX, becomes extensively phosphorylated within 10-30 minutes of DNA damage and forms foci at break sites. Histone H2AX has a role in suppressing genomic instability and cancer. Phosphorylated H2AX (gamma-H2AX) is essential to the efficient recognition and (or) repair o f DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), and many molecules, often thousands, o f H2AX become rapidly phosphorylated at the site of each nascent DSB. gamma-H2AX foci formation is a sensitive biological dosimeter and presents new and exciting opportunities to understand important biological processes, human diseases, and individual variations in radiation sensitivity. These potentialities demonstrate the importance of understanding the parameters and functions of gamma-H2AX formation.
