Abstract
Significance Creation of a chromosomal double-strand break (DSB) is rapidly accompanied by extensive phosphorylation of yeast histone H2A isoform (H2AX in mammals) by Mec1 (ATR) and Tel1 (ATM) protein kinases. This phosphorylation, termed γ-H2AX, spreads 50 kb on either of the DSB, but how this phosphorylation is propagated is poorly understood. We have monitored the kinetics and extent of spreading individually for Mec1 and Tel1 and find that...
