SIRT6 coordinates with CHD4 to promote chromatin relaxation and DNA repair.

ABSTRACT: Genomic instability is an underlying hallmark of cancer and is closely associated with defects in DNA damage repair (DDR). Chromatin relaxation is a prerequisite for DDR, but how chromatin accessibility is regulated remains elusive. Here we report that the histone deacetylase SIRT6 coordinates with the chromatin remodeler CHD4 to promote chromatin relaxation in response to DNA damage. Upon DNA damage, SIRT6 rapidly translocates to DNA damage sites, where it interacts with and recruits CHD4. Once at the damage sites, CHD4 displaces heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) from histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3). Notably, loss of SIRT6 or CHD4 leads to impaired chromatin relaxation and disrupted DNA repair protein recruitment. These molecular changes, in-turn, lead to defective homologous recombination (HR) and cancer cell hypersensitivity to DNA damaging agents. Furthermore, we show that SIRT6-mediated CHD4 recruitment has a specific role in DDR within compacted chromatin by HR in G2 phase, which is an ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-dependent process. Taken together, our results identify a novel function for SIRT6 in recruiting CHD4 onto DNA double-strand breaks. This newly identified novel molecular mechanism involves CHD4-dependent chromatin relaxation and competitive release of HP1 from H3K9me3 within the damaged chromatin, which are both essential for accurate HR.

PKCδ Regulates Chromatin Remodeling and DNA Repair through SIRT6.

Project description:Irradiation (IR) is a highly effective cancer therapy; however, IR damage to tumor-adjacent healthy tissues can result in significant comorbidities and potentially limit the course of therapy. We have previously shown that protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) is required for IR-induced apoptosis and that inhibition of PKCδ activity provides radioprotection in vivo. Here we show that PKCδ regulates histone modification, chromatin accessibility, and double-stranded break (DSB) repair through a mechanism that requires Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6). Overexpression of PKCδ promotes genomic instability and increases DNA damage and apoptosis. Conversely, depletion of PKCδ increases DNA repair via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) as evidenced by increased formation of DNA damage foci, increased expression of DNA repair proteins, and increased repair of NHEJ and HR fluorescent reporter constructs. Nuclease sensitivity indicates that PKCδ depletion is associated with more open chromatin, while overexpression of PKCδ reduces chromatin accessibility. Epiproteome analysis reveals increased chromatin associated H3K36me2 in PKCδ-depleted cells which is accompanied by chromatin disassociation of KDM2A. We identify SIRT6 as a downstream mediator of PKCδ. PKCδ-depleted cells have increased SIRT6 expression, and depletion of SIRT6 reverses changes in chromatin accessibility, histone modification and DSB repair in PKCδ-depleted cells. Furthermore, depletion of SIRT6 reverses radioprotection in PKCδ-depleted cells. Our studies describe a novel pathway whereby PKCδ orchestrates SIRT6-dependent changes in chromatin accessibility to regulate DNA repair, and define a mechanism for regulation of radiation-induced apoptosis by PKCδ.ImplicationsPKCδ controls sensitivity to irradiation by regulating DNA repair.

PKCδ regulates chromatin remodeling and DNA repair through SIRT6.

Project description:Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) is a ubiquitous kinase whose function is defined in part by localization to specific cellular compartments. Nuclear PKCδ is both necessary and sufficient for IR-induced apoptosis, while inhibition of PKCδ activity provides radioprotection in vivo. How nuclear PKCδ regulates DNA-damage induced cell death is poorly understood. Here we show that PKCδ regulates histone modification, chromatin accessibility, and double stranded break (DSB) repair through a mechanism that requires SIRT6. Overexpression of PKCδ promotes genomic instability and increases DNA damage and apoptosis. Conversely, depletion of PKCδ increases DNA repair via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) as evidenced by more rapid formation of NHEJ (DNA-PK) and HR (Rad51) DNA damage foci, increased expression of repair proteins, and increased repair of NHEJ and HR fluorescent reporter constructs. Nuclease sensitivity indicates that PKCδ depletion is associated with more open chromatin, while overexpression of PKCδ reduces chromatin accessibility. Epiproteome analysis revealed that PKCδ depletion increases chromatin associated H3K36me2, and reduces ribosylation of KDM2A and chromatin bound KDM2A. We identify SIRT6 as a downstream mediator of PKCδ. PKCδ-depleted cells have increased expression of SIRT6, and depletion of SIRT6 reverses the changes in chromatin accessibility, histone modification and NHEJ and HR DNA repair seen with PKCδ-depletion. Furthermore, depletion of SIRT6 reverses radioprotection in PKCδ-depleted cells. Our studies describe a novel pathway whereby PKCδ orchestrates SIRT6-dependent changes in chromatin accessibility to increase DNA repair, and define a mechanism for regulation of radiation-induced apoptosis by PKCδ.

The deSUMOylase SENP7 promotes chromatin relaxation for homologous recombination DNA repair.

Project description:SUMO conjugation is known to occur in response to double-stranded DNA breaks in mammalian cells, but whether SUMO deconjugation has a role remains unclear. Here, we show that the SUMO/Sentrin/Smt3-specific peptidase, SENP7, interacts with the chromatin repressive KRAB-associated protein 1 (KAP1) through heterochromatin protein 1 alpha (HP1?). SENP7 promotes the removal of SUMO2/3 from KAP1 and regulates the interaction of the chromatin remodeler CHD3 with chromatin. Consequently, in the presence of CHD3, SENP7 is required for chromatin relaxation in response to DNA damage, for homologous recombination repair and for cellular resistance to DNA-damaging agents. Thus, deSUMOylation by SENP7 is required to promote a permissive chromatin environment for DNA repair.

p73 coordinates with Δ133p53 to promote DNA double-strand break repair.

Project description:Tumour repressor p53 isoform Δ133p53 is a target gene of p53 and an antagonist of p53-mediated apoptotic activity. We recently demonstrated that Δ133p53 promotes DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by upregulating transcription of the repair genes RAD51, LIG4 and RAD52 in a p53-independent manner. However, Δ133p53 lacks the transactivation domain of full-length p53, and the mechanism by which it exerts transcriptional activity independently of full-length p53 remains unclear. In this report, we describe the accumulation of high levels of both Δ133p53 and p73 (a p53 family member) at 24 h post γ-irradiation (hpi). Δ133p53 can form a complex with p73 upon γ-irradiation. The co-expression of Δ133p53 and p73, but not either protein alone, can significantly promote DNA DSB repair mechanisms, including homologous recombination (HR), non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and single-strand annealing (SSA). p73 and Δ133p53 act synergistically to promote the expression of RAD51, LIG4 and RAD52 by joining together to bind to region containing a Δ133p53-responsive element (RE) and a p73-RE in the promoters of all three repair genes. In addition to its accumulation at 24 hpi, p73 protein expression also peaks at 4 hpi. The depletion of p73 not only reduces early-stage apoptotic frequency (4-6 hpi), but also significantly increases later-stage DNA DSB accumulation (48 hpi), leading to cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase and, ultimately, cell senescence. In summary, the apoptotic regulator p73 also coordinates with Δ133p53 to promote DNA DSB repair, and the loss of function of p73 in DNA DSB repair may underlie spontaneous and carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis in p73 knockout mice.

CHD3 and CHD4 recruitment and chromatin remodeling activity at DNA breaks is promoted by early poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent chromatin relaxation.

Project description:One of the first events to occur upon DNA damage is the local opening of the compact chromatin architecture, facilitating access of repair proteins to DNA lesions. This early relaxation is triggered by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation by PARP1 in addition to ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling. CHD4 recruits to DNA breaks in a PAR-dependent manner, although it lacks any recognizable PAR-binding domain, and has the ability to relax chromatin structure. However, its role in chromatin relaxation at the site of DNA damage has not been explored. Using a live cell fluorescence three-hybrid assay, we demonstrate that the recruitment of CHD4 to DNA damage, while being poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation-dependent, is not through binding poly(ADP-ribose). Additionally, we show that CHD3 is recruited to DNA breaks in the same manner as CHD4 and that both CHD3 and CHD4 play active roles in chromatin remodeling at DNA breaks. Together, our findings reveal a two-step mechanism for DNA damage induced chromatin relaxation in which PARP1 and the PAR-binding remodeler activities of Alc1/CHD1L induce an initial chromatin relaxation phase that promotes the subsequent recruitment of CHD3 and CHD4 via binding to DNA for further chromatin remodeling at DNA breaks.

A histone H3K36 chromatin switch coordinates DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice.

Project description:DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is a highly regulated process performed predominantly by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR) pathways. How these pathways are coordinated in the context of chromatin is unclear. Here we uncover a role for histone H3K36 modification in regulating DSB repair pathway choice in fission yeast. We find Set2-dependent H3K36 methylation reduces chromatin accessibility, reduces resection and promotes NHEJ, while antagonistic Gcn5-dependent H3K36 acetylation increases chromatin accessibility, increases resection and promotes HR. Accordingly, loss of Set2 increases H3K36Ac, chromatin accessibility and resection, while Gcn5 loss results in the opposite phenotypes following DSB induction. Further, H3K36 modification is cell cycle regulated with Set2-dependent H3K36 methylation peaking in G1 when NHEJ occurs, while Gcn5-dependent H3K36 acetylation peaks in S/G2 when HR prevails. These findings support an H3K36 chromatin switch in regulating DSB repair pathway choice.

G9a coordinates with the RPA complex to promote DNA damage repair and cell survival.

Project description:Histone methyltransferase G9a has critical roles in promoting cancer-cell growth and gene suppression, but whether it is also associated with the DNA damage response is rarely studied. Here, we report that loss of G9a impairs DNA damage repair and enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation and chemotherapeutics. In response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), G9a is phosphorylated at serine 211 by casein kinase 2 (CK2) and recruited to chromatin. The chromatin-enriched G9a can then directly interact with replication protein A (RPA) and promote loading of the RPA and Rad51 recombinase to DSBs. This mechanism facilitates homologous recombination (HR) and cell survival. We confirmed the interaction between RPA and G9a to be critical for RPA foci formation and HR upon DNA damage. Collectively, our findings demonstrate a regulatory pathway based on CK2-G9a-RPA that permits HR in cancer cells and provide further rationale for the use of G9a inhibitors as a cancer therapeutic.

ZMYM3 regulates BRCA1 localization at damaged chromatin to promote DNA repair.

Project description:Chromatin connects DNA damage response factors to sites of damaged DNA to promote the signaling and repair of DNA lesions. The histone H2A variants H2AX, H2AZ, and macroH2A represent key chromatin constituents that facilitate DNA repair. Through proteomic screening of these variants, we identified ZMYM3 (zinc finger, myeloproliferative, and mental retardation-type 3) as a chromatin-interacting protein that promotes DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR). ZMYM3 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks through bivalent interactions with both histone and DNA components of the nucleosome. We show that ZMYM3 links the HR factor BRCA1 to damaged chromatin through specific interactions with components of the BRCA1-A subcomplex, including ABRA1 and RAP80. By regulating ABRA1 recruitment to damaged chromatin, ZMYM3 facilitates the fine-tuning of BRCA1 interactions with DNA damage sites and chromatin. Consistent with a role in regulating BRCA1 function, ZMYM3 deficiency results in impaired HR repair and genome instability. Thus, our work identifies a critical chromatin-binding DNA damage response factor, ZMYM3, which modulates BRCA1 functions within chromatin to ensure the maintenance of genome integrity.

Chromatin relaxation-mediated induction of p19INK4d increases the ability of cells to repair damaged DNA.

Project description:The maintenance of genomic integrity is of main importance to the survival and health of organisms which are continuously exposed to genotoxic stress. Cells respond to DNA damage by activating survival pathways consisting of cell cycle checkpoints and repair mechanisms. However, the signal that triggers the DNA damage response is not necessarily a direct detection of the primary DNA lesion. In fact, chromatin defects may serve as initiating signals to activate those mechanisms. If the modulation of chromatin structure could initiate a checkpoint response in a direct manner, this supposes the existence of specific chromatin sensors. p19INK4d, a member of the INK4 cell cycle inhibitors, plays a crucial role in regulating genomic stability and cell viability by enhancing DNA repair. Its expression is induced in cells injured by one of several genotoxic treatments like cis-platin, UV light or neocarzinostatin. Nevertheless, when exogenous DNA damaged molecules are introduced into the cell, this induction is not observed. Here, we show that p19INK4d is enhanced after chromatin relaxation even in the absence of DNA damage. This induction was shown to depend upon ATM/ATR, Chk1/Chk2 and E2F activity, as is the case of p19INK4d induction by endogenous DNA damage. Interestingly, p19INK4d improves DNA repair when the genotoxic damage is caused in a relaxed-chromatin context. These results suggest that changes in chromatin structure, and not DNA damage itself, is the actual trigger of p19INK4d induction. We propose that, in addition to its role as a cell cycle inhibitor, p19INK4d could participate in a signaling network directed to detecting and eventually responding to chromatin anomalies.
