Regulation of DNA‐damage responses and cell‐cycle progression by the chromatin remodelling factor CHD4
Open accessAbstract
The chromatin remodelling factor chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding protein 4 (CHD4) is a catalytic subunit of the NuRD transcriptional repressor complex. Here, we reveal novel functions for CHD4 in the DNA‐damage response (DDR) and cell‐cycle control. We show that CHD4 mediates rapid poly(ADP‐ribose)‐dependent recruitment of the NuRD complex to DNA‐damage sites, and we identify CHD4 as a phosphorylation target for the apical DDR kinase ataxia‐telangiectasia mutated. Functionally, we show that CHD4 promotes repair of DNA double‐strand breaks and cell survival after DNA damage. In addition, we show that CHD4 acts as an important regulator of the G1/S cell‐cycle transition by controlling p53 deacetylation. These results provide new insights into how the chromatin remodelling complex NuRD contributes to maintaining genome stability. This paper adds to the emerging concept that chromatin remodelling contributes to DNA‐damage responses. CHD4, a known NuRD component, is identified as ATM target, localizes to DNA breaks and contributes to repair while associating with PARPylated factors.

“Thus, immediately after DNA damage, both euchromatin and heterochromatin domains have similar structural organization, including high density of H3K9me3 and the presence of repressive complexes, such as kap-1, HP1α, methyltransferases, HDACs, and CHD3/CHD4 remodeling ATPases (31,32,(43)(44)(45)(46)(47).”

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.
