== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MDC1_MOUSE MDC1_MOUSE] Required for checkpoint mediated cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage within both the S phase and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. May serve as a scaffold for the recruitment of DNA repair and signal transduction proteins to discrete foci of DNA damage marked by 'Ser-139' phosphorylation of histone H2AFX. Also required for downstream events subsequent to the recruitment of these proteins. These include phosphorylation and activation of the ATM, CHEK1 and CHEK2 kinases, and stabilization of TP53 and apoptosis. ATM and CHEK2 may also be activated independently by a parallel pathway mediated by TP53BP1 (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Mammalian MDC1 interacts with CHK2 in the regulation of DNA damage-induced S-phase checkpoint and apoptosis, which is directed by the association of MDC1-FHA and CHK2-pThr68. However, different ligand specificities of MDC1-FHA have been reported, and no structure is available. Here we report the crystal structures of MDC1-FHA and its complex with a CHK2 peptide containing pThr68. Unlike other FHA domains, MDC1-FHA exists as an intrinsic dimer in solution and in crystals. Structural and binding analyses support pThr+3 ligand specificity and provide structural insight into MDC1-CHK2 interaction.
