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.

Cyclin K goes with Cdk12 and Cdk13

TL;DR: The cyclin-dependent kinases' functions in the regulation of gene expression via the phosphorylation of serine 2 in the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, contributions to the maintenance of genome stability, and roles in the onset of human disease and embryo development are discussed.

p53 is activated in response to disruption of the pre-mRNA splicing machinery.

TL;DR: It is shown that interfering with the splicing machinery results in activation of the tumour-suppressor p53, and this study suggests that p53 activation could participate in protection against potential tumours-promoting defects in the spliceosome.

Systematic E2 screening reveals a UBE2D-RNF138-CtIP axis promoting DNA repair

TL;DR: The nuclear E3 ligase RNF138 is uncovered as a key homologous recombination (HR)-promoting factor that functions with UBE2Ds in cells and supplies insights into regulation of DSB repair by HR.

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.
