Antagonistic relationship of NuA4 with the non-homologous end-joining machinery at DNA damage sites.

The NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, apart from its known role in gene regulation, has also been directly implicated in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), favoring homologous recombination (HR) in S/G2 during the cell cycle. Here, we investigate the antagonistic relationship of Nu...

Antagonistic relationship of NuA4 with the non-homologous end-joining machinery at DNA damage sites.
description The NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, apart from its known role in gene regulation, has also been directly implicated in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), favoring homologous recombination (HR) in S/G2 during the cell cycle. Here, we investigate the antagonistic relationship of NuA4 with non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) factors. We show that budding yeast Rad9, the 53BP1 ortholog, can inhibit NuA4 acetyltransferase activity when bound to chromatin in vitro. While we previously reported that NuA4 is recruited at DSBs during the S/G2 phase, we can also detect its recruitment in G1 when genes for Rad9 and NHEJ factors Yku80 and Nej1 are mutated. This is accompanied with the binding of single-strand DNA binding protein RPA and Rad52, indicating DNA end resection in G1 as well as recruitment of the HR machinery.
