“…Since the original discovery that placed this kinase within the host DNA damage response network, ATM has been recognized as a key player in several additional cellular signaling networks that include oxidative stress, metabolism, angiogenesis, and mitophagy (reviewed in (Guleria & Chandna, 2016)). Intriguingly, this kinase also supports replication of multiple diverse DNA and RNA viruses, including but not limited to human and mouse gammaherpesviruses (Hagemeier, Barlow et al, 2012; Singh, Dutta et al, 2013; Tarakanova, Leung-Pineda et al, 2007), alpha- and beta herpesviruses (E X, Pickering et al, 2011; Alekseev, Donovan et al, 2014), papilloma- and polyomaviruses (Moody & Laimins, 2009; Tsang, Wang et al, 2014; Jiang, Zhao et al, 2012), adenovirus (Shah & O’Shea, 2015), HCV (Ariumi, Kuroki et al, 2008), and HIV (Lau, Swinbank et al, 2005). The functions of ATM in the DNA damage response have traditionally been assumed as the mechanism underlying the proviral activity of this kinase.…”
