Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * H2AX is a member of the H2A family of histone proteins. * It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. * It is involved in the regulation of gene expression by interacting with other histone proteins. * H2AX is a key regulator of cell cycle progression, DNA repair, and differentiation. **Pathways and functions:** * H2AX interacts with the transcription factor Sox1 and recruits it to the Hox gene promoter, promoting the expression of hox genes. * It is involved in cell cycle regulation by binding to DNA sequences involved in cell cycle checkpoints. * H2AX is a stress sensor that responds to DNA damage. It forms a complex with the DNA damage sensor MRE1 and activates the transcription factor p53, promoting cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. * It is also involved in chromatin remodeling by forming complexes with other histone proteins and remodeling chromatin structure. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in H2AX genes have been linked to a number of human cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. * Targeting H2AX has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for these malignancies. * H2AX inhibitors are currently being investigated as potential treatments for cancer and other diseases characterized by abnormal chromatin remodeling. **Other notable facts:** * H2AX is a highly conserved protein with homologs in other species. * It is a large protein with a molecular weight of approximately 140 kDa. * It is found in a variety of cell types, including skeletal muscle satellite cells, germ cells, and cancer cells.
