Abstract

Background: The PIM-2 kinase is a potent survival factor; its role in the DNA damage response has never been addressed. Results: PIM-2 promotes DNA lesions repair in an E2F-1 and ATM-dependent manner; Pim-2-silenced cells are more susceptible to UV damage. Conclusion: PIM-2 is an upstream activator of E2F-1 and ATM in the UV damage response. Significance: PIM-2 is an essential component of the UV damage response.
