Altered levels of MOF and decreased levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR).

ABSTRACT: Full title: Altered levels of MOF (member of MYST family histone acetyl transferase) and decreased levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR). The human MOF gene encodes a protein that specifically acetylates histone H4 at lysine 16 (H4K16ac). Here we show that altered levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR) to ionizing radiation (IR). The defect however is not due to altered expression of proteins involved in DDR. Specific inhibition of H4K16ac deacetylation in MOF-depleted cells rescued IR-induced abrogation of DDR. MOF was found associated with DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNAPKcs), a protein involved in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair, whose ATMdependent IR-induced phosphorylation was abrogated in MOF-depleted cells. Our data indicate that MOF depletion greatly decreased the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by NHEJ and homologous recombination (HR). In addition, the MOF protein activity associates with chromatin upon DNA damage and colocalizes with the synaptonemal complex in male meiocytes. We propose that MOF, through H4K16ac, plays a critical role in the cellular DNA damage response. Keywords: Cell type comparison

Project description:DNA damage response (DDR) is a complex process, essential for cell survival. Especially deleterious type of DNA damage are DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), which can lead to genomic instability and malignant transformation if not repaired correctly. The central player in DSB detection and repair is the ATM kinase which orchestrates the action of several downstream factors. Despite substantial knowledge of DNA repair processes, still several aspects of DNA damage detection and signaling are not fully understood. Recent studies have suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in DDR. Here, we aimed to identify lncRNAs induced upon DNA damage in an ATM-dependent manner. 7 mRNAs and 10 lncRNAs were significantly induced 1h after ionizing radiation (IR) in healthy donors, whereas none in AT patients. 447 mRNAs and 149 lncRNAs were induced 8h after IR in the control group, while only 100 mRNAs and 3 lncRNAs in AT patients. Among IR-induced mRNAs, we found several genes with well-known functions in DDR. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Gene Ontology revealed delayed induction of key DDR pathways in AT patients compared to controls. The induction and dynamics of selected 9 lncRNAs were confirmed by RT-qPCR at several time-points after IR on a larger cohort. Moreover, inhibition of ATM with a specific inhibitor (KU-60019) proved that those lncRNAs are dependent on ATM. Some of the detected lncRNAs are localized next to protein-coding genes involved in DDR. We observed that induction of lncRNAs after IR preceded changes in expression of adjacent genes. This indicates that IR-induced lncRNAs may regulate the transcription of nearby genes. Subcellular fractionation into chromatin, nuclear, and cytoplasmic fractions revealed that the majority of studied lncRNAs are localized in chromatin, which further suggests their role in regulation of gene expression. In summary, our study revealed several lncRNAs induced by IR in an ATM-dependent manner. Their co-localization and co-expression with genes involved in DDR suggest that those lncRNAs may be important players in cellular response to DNA damage.
