ATMIN (ATM/ATR-substrate Chk2-interacting Zn2+-finger protein) is a DNA damage response protein. It functions as a scaffold protein in the lesion-specific Rad51 focus forming pathway. In response to DNA methylating agents and persistent single stranded DNA gaps, ATMIN forms Rad51-containing foci for DNA repair. The ATMIN foci are MLH1-dependent. ATMIN is similar in structure and function to Mdt1. It consists of an N-terminal nucleic acid binding domain, a nuclear localization signal and a C-terminal SQ/TQ cluster domain (SCD). ATMIN interacts with the Forkhead-associated (FHA) domain of Chk2 via its SCD and may be a substrate for ATM/ATR kinase. A lack in functional ATMIN results in impaired Rad51 focus formation and leads to increased DNA damage-induced apoptosis.
