KAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation couples chromatin sensing to ATM signalling

Abstract

The detection of DNA lesions within chromatin represents a critical step in cellular responses to DNA damage. However, the regulatory mechanisms that couple chromatin sensing to DNA-damage signalling in mammalian cells are not well understood. Here we show that tyrosine phosphorylation of the protein acetyltransferase KAT5 (also known as TIP60) increases after DNA damage in a manner that promotes KAT5 binding to the histone mark H3K9me3. This triggers KAT5-mediated acetylation of the ATM kinase, promoting DNA-damage-checkpoint activation and cell survival. We also establish that chromatin alterations can themselves enhance KAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation and ATM-dependent signalling, and identify the proto-oncogene c-Abl as a mediator of this modification. These findings define KAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation as a key event in the sensing of genomic and chromatin perturbations, and highlight a key role for c-Abl in such processes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • H3K9me3 is required for activation of the Tip60 acetyltransferase.

    “H3K9me3 is required for activation of the Tip60 acetyltransferase (4, 17).”

    From DNA double-strand breaks promote methylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 and transient formation of repressive chromatin (2014) · cites this paper as [17]

    The ‘Tyrosine phosphorylation-mediated enhancement of KAT5 activity’ section reports that H3K9me3 peptide stimulates KAT5-mediated ATM acetylation under specific conditions. It also says the peptide does not affect KAT5 activity toward histone H4, so the paper does not establish that H3K9me3 is required for activation of the acetyltransferase generally. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • Loss of H3K9me2/3 leads to failure to activate the ATM signaling pathway, loss of H4 acetylation during DSB repair, disruption of heterochromatin, genomic instability, and defective DSB repair.

    “Consequently, loss of H3K9me2/3 leads to failure to activate the ATM signaling pathway, loss of H4 acetylation during DSB repair, disruption of heterochromatin, genomic instability, and defective DSB repair (4,(17)(18)(19).”

    From DNA double-strand breaks promote methylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 and transient formation of repressive chromatin (2014) · cites this paper as [17]

    The Abstract and the section on KAT5 activity link H3K9me3 binding to KAT5-mediated ATM acetylation and enhanced ATM signaling. They do not establish that loss of H3K9me2/3 causes complete failure of ATM activation, heterochromatin disruption, genomic instability, or defective DSB repair. The KAT5 activity section instead reports that H3K9me3 peptide binding did not affect KAT5 activity toward histone H4, so it does not support the claimed loss of H4 acetylation. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Phosphorylation enhances TIP60 acetyltransferase activity and can be induced by chromatin alterations, leading to ATM signaling independently of DNA breaks.

    “phosphorylation enhances the acetyltransferase activity of TIP60, and this modification can be induced by chromatin alterations, leading to ATM signaling independently of DNA breaks”

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.
