Dbf4-dependent kinase promotes cell-cycle controlled resection of DNA double strand breaks and repair by homologous recombination


ABSTRACT: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by several pathways. In eukaryotes, repair pathway choice – the cellular decision making underlying DSB repair – occurs at the level of DSB resection and is controlled by the cell cycle. Upon cell cycle-dependent activation, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) phosphorylate resection proteins and thereby stimulate DSB resection and repair by homologous recombination (HR). Here, we identify Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) as a second major cell cycle regulator of DNA end resection. Using inducible genetic and chemical inhibition of DDK in budding yeast and human cells, we show that DNA resection and HR require activation by DDK. Mechanistically, DDK catalyzes phosphorylation of at least two resection nucleases. Via phosphorylation of the Mre11 activator Sae2 it promotes activation of resection initiation, via phosphorylation of the Dna2 nuclease it promotes long-range resection. Notably, synthetic activiation of DDK allows limited resection and HR in G1 cells, suggesting that DDK is a key component of DSB repair decision making.
