Reaction: EYA1-4 dephosphorylates tyrosine Y142 of H2AFX

- in pathway: Recruitment and ATM-mediated phosphorylation of repair and signaling proteins at DNA double strand breaks
In response to DNA damage, EYA tyrosine protein phosphatases (EYA1, EYA2, EYA3 and, by sequence similarity, EYA4) dephosphorylate tyrosine Y142 of H2AFX, which allows the progression of DNA repair (Cook et al. 2009, Krishnan et al. 2009). It is possible that different EYA proteins heterodimerize in different cell types - the existence of a functional EYA1:EYA3 heterodimer in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells is likely (Cook et al. 2009).

MCPH1 recognizes and binds diphosphorylated H2AFX, but the exact biological role of this interaction has not been elucidated (Singh et al. 2012).
