Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, characterized by cerebellar ataxia, telangiectasia, immune defect, chromosomal instability, radiosensitivity and cancers predisposition. A-T is caused by biallelic inactivation in ATM gene which encodes the ATM kinase. ATM can be activated by DNA damage and by oxidative stress and coordinates the cellular response to different stress through its roles in several metabolic pathways. We analyzed 3 series of A-T patients bearing ATM missense mutations. Analyses of ATM expression, localization and kinase activity in these patients allowed A-T diagnosis confirmation and raised new questions on the importance of ATM cytoplasmic fraction. Oxidative stress regulation analysis in atypical A-T patients led us to i) describe new active ATM cytoplasmic foci, ii) show ATM interaction with OXR1, an oxidative stress modulator, in these foci and iii) show the importance of this interaction for ROS homeostasis maintenance and for cell survival.
