ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK: The Trinity at the Heart of the DNA Damage Response

AN Blackford, SP Jackson - Molecular cell, 2017 - cell.com
In vertebrate cells, the DNA damage response is controlled by three related kinases: ATM,
ATR, and DNA-PK. It has been 20 years since the cloning of ATR, the last of the three to be …

The essential kinase ATR: ensuring faithful duplication of a challenging genome
