ATMIN Proteins

Protein Information

The ATM/ATR-substrate CHK2-interacting zinc finger protein (ATMIN), also known as ASCIZ, forms DNA damage-induced nuclear foci that contain the DNA repair protein Rad51. ATMIN is also thought to be involved in embryonic development, as an absence of ATMIN causes late-embryonic lethality in mice with a range of organ development defects. It also activates the transcription DYNLL1, a light chain of the dynein motor complex and sequence-specific regulator of protein dimerization of numerous targets. DYNLL1 can bind to and inhibit the transcription activation domain of ATMIN, forming a simple dynamic feedback loop for DYNLL1 expression.
