DNA damage-induced cell death relies on SLFN11-dependent cleavage of distinct type II tRNAs
Open accessAbstract
Transcriptome analysis reveals a strong positive correlation between human Schlafen family member 11 (SLFN11) expression and the sensitivity of tumor cells to DNA-damaging agents (DDAs). Here, we show that SLFN11 preferentially inhibits translation of the serine/threonine kinases ATR and ATM upon DDA treatment based on distinct codon usage without disrupting early DNA damage response signaling. Type II transfer RNAs (tRNAs), which include all serine and leucine tRNAs, are cleaved in a SLFN11-dependent manner in response to DDAs. Messenger RNAs encoded by genes with high TTA (Leu) codon usage, such as ATR, display utmost susceptibility to translational suppression by SLFN11. Specific attenuation of tRNA-Leu-TAA sufficed to ablate ATR protein expression and restore the DDA sensitivity of SLFN11-deficient cells. Our study uncovered a novel mechanism of codon-specific translational inhibition via SLFN11-dependent tRNA cleavage in the DNA damage response and supports the notion that SLFN11-deficient tumor cells can be resensitized to DDAs by targeting ATR or tRNA-Leu-TAA.

In the citing paper
“To functionally implicate SLFN11 in response to DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics (topoisomerase inhibitors, an anti-metabolite, and an alkylating agent), Li et al. demonstrated that genetic inhibition of SLFN11 expression caused chemoresistance [28].”

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.
