Scientific Background: MDC1, mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1, plays a role in checkpoint mediated cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage, within S phase and G2/M. It is also thought to act as a scaffold protein during recruitment of DNA repair and signal transduction proteins to discrete foci of DNA damage that are marked by phosphorylation of histone H2A.X on S139.
