We demonstrated that filamentous actin accumulates in the nuclei of zebrafish early embryos and observed in detail the actin dynamics.The results of live-cell imaging showed that the nuclear actin forms patches in the vicinity of condensed chromosomes after the nuclear envelope breakdown. One of images in this study was selected as the cover image of this issue.The first author Haruka Oda was introduced in "First person". Journal site
◆27/Apr/2023 Published in Journal of Cell Science
This study investigated the early kinetics of histone H2AX phosphorylation (γ-H2AX) in response to DNA double-strand breaks from laser microirradiation. The accumulation of γ-H2AX was similar in both ATM-proficient and -deficient cells, indicating that ATM is not the main kinase for γ-H2AX at the early timepoint. However, the presence of the DNA-PK inhibitor caused a delay in the γ-H2AX accumulation, suggesting that DNA-PK plays a rapid role in phosphorylating the histone H2AX at DNA double-strand break sites.
