摘要

Background

Spatial and temporal control of DNA damage response pathways after DNA damage is crucial for maintenance of genomic stability. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein plays a central role in DNA damage response pathways. The chain of events following induction of DNA damage that results in full activation of ATM is still evolving. Here we set out to explore the role of CREB-binding protein (CBP), a histone acetyltransferase (HAT), in DNA damage response, particularly in the ATM activation pathway.

Results

In response to DNA damage, CBP is stabilized and is recruited at sites of DNA double-strand breaks where it acetylates ATM and promotes its kinase activity. Cells deficient in CBP display an impairment in DNA double-strand break repair and high sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy. Importantly, re-expressing CBP’s HAT domain in CBP-deficient cells restores the DNA repair capability, demonstrating the essential role of CBP’s HAT domain in repairing DNA double-strand breaks.

Conclusions

Together, our findings shed the light on CBP as a key participant in the ATM activation pathway and in the subsequent repair of DNA double-strand breaks, which may serve as a potential target to modulate the cellular response to DNA damaging agents in cancer.
