Abstract

DNA double strand break (DSB) is one of major DNA damage caused by irradiation. The impact of this damage including the biological responses such as its repair has been extensively described. Since formed as chromatin in vivo, histones, major component of chromatin, has to be released to make naked DNA before the repair of DSB. It has been also known that histones like H3 or H4 could be modified to control chromatin status. To understand if the chromatin status could be maintained through the DSB repair, we are establishing an system to analyze the modification of histones around DSB site. We will present the current data.
