Abstract
How chromatin configuration impacts DNA repair is an emerging question. A recent study by Arnould et al. shows that ATM orchestrates a new chromatin compartment (D compartment) following DNA double-strand breaks and establishes that this compartment enhances cellular response to such breaks but also introduces a risk to genome integrity.
