The DNA damage response involves a complex network of processes that detect and repair DNA damage. Here we show that miRNA biogenesis is globally induced upon DNA damage in an ATM-dependent manner. About one-fourth of miRNAs are significantly upregulated after DNA damage, while loss of ATM abolishes their induction. KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KSRP) is a key player that translates DNA damage signaling to miRNA biogenesis. The ATM kinase directly binds to and phosphorylates KSRP, leading ...[more]
