摘要

Genomic stability maintenance requires the repair of DNA breaks in the most accurate fashion. So, an exquisite regulatory network controls the choice between different repair mechanisms to maximize genome integrity. This relies mostly at the level of DNA end resection, the initial steps of the homologous recombination. On the other hand, numerous cellular activities follow a 24 h oscillation known as the circadian cycle. Thus, we explored the regulation of the choice between different DNA break repair pathways along the circadian cycle. Here we show that in human cells DNA resection shows a circadian oscillation, with a peak at early morning followed by a partial and progressive reduction until late afternoon. Such regulation depends on the circadian clock core component CRY1, which modulates the anti-resection activity of CCAR2 to limit CtIP at nightfall. Additionally, such regulation requires DNA-PK-mediated phosphorylation of CRY1. Finally, this circadian regulation impacts cancer progression and response to radiation therapy of specific tumours.
