Abstract

DNA damage elicits a cellular signaling response that initiates cell cycle arrest and DNA repair. Here, we find that DNA damage triggers a critical block in glutamine metabolism, which is required for proper DNA damage responses. This block requires the mitochondrial SIRT4, which is induced by numerous genotoxic agents and represses the metabolism of glutamine into tricarboxylic acid cycle. SIRT4 loss leads to both increased glutamine-dependent proliferation and stress-induced genomic instability, resulting in tumorigenic phenotypes. Moreover, SIRT4 knockout mice spontaneously develop lung tumors. Our data uncover SIRT4 as an important component of the DNA damage response pathway that orchestrates a metabolic block in glutamine metabolism, cell cycle arrest, and tumor suppression.

  • During the DNA damage response, normal cells show decreased glutaminolysis controlled by SIRT4 suppressing GLUD1; absence of SIRT4 causes delayed DNA repair and chromosomal instability, suggesting a tumor suppressor effect.

    “Moreover, evidence has shown that during the DNA damage response, normal cells show a decrease in glutaminolysis controlled by SIRT4 protein suppressing GLUD1. In the absence of SIRT4, a failure to undergo cell cycle arrest induced by DNA damage causes a delay in DNA repair and increased chromosomal instability, suggesting a tumor suppressor effect of SIRT4151.”

    From Glutamine reliance in cell metabolism (2020) · cites this paper as [151]

  • Loss of SIRT4 enhances glutamine-dependent proliferation and genomic instability, contributing to tumorigenesis.

    “Accordingly, loss of SIRT4 enhances glutamine-dependent proliferation and genomic instability, which simultaneously contribute to tumorigenesis151.”

    From Glutamine reliance in cell metabolism (2020) · cites this paper as [151]

  • SIRT4 is upregulated as part of the DNA damage response via ATF4.

    “Similarly, SIRT4 is upregulated as part of the DNA damage response via ATF4 (Jeong et al. 2013).”
  • SIRT4 controls tumorigenesis by inhibiting the high rate of glutamine metabolism associated with cancer growth.

    “SIRT4 likewise appears to control tumorigenesis ((Jeong et al. 2013), (Csibi et al. 2013)) by inhibiting the high rate of glutamine metabolism associated with cancer growth;”
  • DHODH activity is elevated in response to DNA damage and upon genotoxic chemotherapy treatment to increase nucleotide synthesis for DNA repair.

    “DHODH activity is also elevated in response to DNA damage and upon genotoxic chemotherapy treatment to increase nucleotide synthesis for DNA repair.76,77”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
