title: Hop1 and the meiotic DNA-damage response.
abstract: During the DNA-damage response, adaptor proteins mediate signaling between the PI3K-like sensor kinases, ATM and ATR, and serine/threonine effector kinases. Carballo et al. (2008) now show that the chromosomal protein Hop1 mediates PI3K-like kinase signaling during the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in meiosis.
