Article Abstract

Chromosomal translocations are hallmarks of various types of cancers and leukemias. However, the molecular mechanisms of chromosome translocations remain largely unknown. The ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein, a DNA damage signaling regulator, facilitates DNA repair to prevent chromosome abnormalities. Previously, we showed that ATM deficiency led to the 11q23 chromosome translocation, the most frequent chromosome abnormalities in secondary leukemia. Here, we show that ARP8, a subunit of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex, is phosphorylated after etoposide treatment. The etoposide-induced phosphorylation of ARP8 is regulated by ATM and ATR, and attenuates its interaction with INO80. The ATM-regulated phosphorylation of ARP8 reduces the excessive loading of INO80 and RAD51 onto the breakpoint cluster region. These findings suggest that the phosphorylation of ARP8, regulated by ATM, plays an important role in maintaining the fidelity of DNA repair to prevent the etoposide-induced 11q23 abnormalities.

The CK1 family are conserved serine/threonine kinases with numerous substrates and cellular functions. The fission yeast CK1 orthologues Hhp1 and Hhp2 were first characterized as regulators of DNA repair, but the mechanism(s) by which CK1 activity promotes DNA repair had not been investigated. Here, we found that deleting Hhp1 and Hhp2 or inhibiting CK1 catalytic activities in yeast or in human cells increased double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Article Synopsis
  • The CK1 family are important proteins that help with DNA repair in cells.
  • In a study, scientists found that when two CK1-related proteins in yeast (Hhp1 and Hhp2) were removed or stopped from working, DNA damage couldn't be fixed properly, leading to problems.
  • They discovered that Hhp1 and Hhp2 help repair DNA by tagging other proteins (like Arp8) with a special signal, which is crucial for fixing DNA damage.

Autophagy is an essential homeostatic process by which cytoplasmic components, including macromolecules and organelles, are degraded by lysosome. Increasing evidence suggests that phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) and target of rapamycin (TOR) play key roles in the regulation of autophagy. However, the regulation of autophagy in quiescent cells remains unclear, despite the fact that autophagy is known to be critical for normal development, regeneration, and degenerative diseases.

Dynamic changes in chromatin structure are essential for efficient DNA processing such as transcription, replication, and DNA repair. Histone modifications and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling are important for the alteration of chromatin structure. The INO80 chromatin remodeling complex plays an important role in HR-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
