ATM signaling pathway BRCAs-ATR-ARM pathway
ataxia-telangiectasia mutated

ATM is activated by mechanisms that sense double stranded DNA breaks. ATM transmits signals to arrest the cell cycle after DNA damage. It acts through p53 in the G1/S checkpoint.

At the G2/M checkpoint, ATM acts both through p53-dependent mechanisms and through the inactivation of CDC25 phosphatase, which disrupts the cyclin B-CDK1 complex. Component of a network of genes that include BRCA1 and BRCA2, which link DNA damage with cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis.
