The p53-binding protein 53BP1 has been implicated in DNA damage responses. Three new
reports indicate that 53BP1 is central to both the S and G2 checkpoints after exposure to
ionizing radiation (IR). 53BP1 participates in the organization of nuclear foci and facilitates
the phosphorylation of specific substrates by the checkpoint kinase, ataxia-telangiectasia
mutated (ATM).
