Abstract:
The discovery of multiple signaling cascades downstream of Atm may lead to a clearer understanding of the diverse defects seen in ataxia-telangiectasia. These pathways - which include evolutionarily conserved Chk1 and Atr, and non-conserved p21, p53 and AbI - guard genomic integrity after DNA damage.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
