ATM and ATR substrate analysis reveals extensive protein networks responsive to DNA damage

TLDR
A large-scale proteomic analysis of proteins phosphorylated in response to DNA damage on consensus sites recognized by ATM and ATR is performed and more than 900 regulated phosphorylation sites encompassing over 700 proteins are identified.
Abstract
Cellular responses to DNA damage are mediated by a number of protein kinases, including ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ATM and Rad3-related). The outlines of the signal transduction portion of this pathway are known, but little is known about the physiological scope of the DNA damage response (DDR). We performed a large-scale proteomic analysis of proteins phosphorylated in response to DNA damage on consensus sites recognized by ATM and ATR and identified more than 900 regulated phosphorylation sites encompassing over 700 proteins. Functional analysis of a subset of this data set indicated that this list is highly enriched for proteins involved in the DDR. This set of proteins is highly interconnected, and we identified a large number of protein modules and networks not previously linked to the DDR. This database paints a much broader landscape for the DDR than was previously appreciated and opens new avenues of investigation into the responses to DNA damage in mammals.

High confidence determination of specific protein-protein interactions using quantitative mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: Quantitative proteomics sidesteps the need for extensive purification and implies a tradeoff between specificity and the ability to detect weak or transient interactions by directly comparing specific and control pull-downs.

Germline mutations in BAP1 impair its function in DNA double-strand break repair.

TL;DR: It is found that BAP1 mediates rapid poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent recruitment of the polycomb deubiquitylase complex PR-DUB to sites of DNA damage, and it is identified as a phosphorylation target for the DDR kinase ATM.

Clinical Radiation Sensitivity With DNA Repair Disorders: An Overview

TL;DR: The findings support previous wisdom that radiotherapy should either be avoided or the doses should be selected with great care in the case of these radiosensitive genotypes, which must be recognized by their characteristic phenotypes, until more rapid, reliable, and functional assays of DNA repair become available.

Replisome Stability at Defective DNA Replication Forks Is Independent of S Phase Checkpoint Kinases

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that the replisome is stably associated with DNA replication forks following replication stress in the absence of Mec1 or Rad53, and data indicate that checkpoint kinases control replisomes function rather than stability, as part of a multifaceted response that allows cells to survive defects in chromosome replication.

ATM signalling and cancer

TL;DR: With the recent explosion in genomic data, ATM alterations have been revealed both in the germline as a predisposing factor for cancer and as somatic changes in tumours themselves.

The DNA damage response: putting checkpoints in perspective

TL;DR: The inability to repair DNA damage properly in mammals leads to various disorders and enhanced rates of tumour development, and this work has shown that direct activation of DNA repair networks is needed to correct this problem.

Cell-cycle checkpoints and cancer

TL;DR: All life on earth must cope with constant exposure to DNA-damaging agents such as the Sun's radiation, and how cells respond to DNA damage are critical determinants of whether that individual will develop cancer.

DNA damage-induced activation of p53 by the checkpoint kinase Chk2.

TL;DR: Chk2 directly phosphorylated p53 on serine 20, which is known to interfere with Mdm2 binding, and provides a mechanism for increased stability of p53 by prevention of ubiquitination in response to DNA damage.

Immunoaffinity profiling of tyrosine phosphorylation in cancer cells

TL;DR: Applying this approach to several cell systems, including cancer cell lines, shows it can be used to identify activated protein kinases and their phosphorylated substrates without prior knowledge of the signaling networks that are activated, a first step in profiling normal and oncogenic signaling networks.
