53BP1 Inhibits Homologous Recombination in Brca1-Deficient Cells by Blocking Resection of DNA Breaks

Abstract: SUMMARY Defective DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) is thought to be a major contributor to tumorigenesis in individuals carrying Brca1 mutations. Here we show that DNA breaks in Brca1-deficient cells are aberrantly joined into complex chromosome rearrangements by a process dependent on the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) factors, 53BP1 and DNA Ligase 4. Loss of 53BP1 alleviates hypersensitivity of Brca1 mutant cells to PARP inhibition and restores error-free repair by HR. Mechanistically, 53BP1 de… Show more

“…18,19 These studies have placed 53BP1 as a top candidate for pharmacological targeting for future breast cancer therapies. Therefore, we sought to understand whether the impairment of 53BP1 is sufficient to explain the NUP153-deficient phenotype in our DNA repair assays, to suggest NUP153 as a potential candidate for targeted cancer therapy.…”

“…However, as NUP153 promotes 53BP1 IRIF foci formation after DNA damage, impairment of NUP153 in BRCA1 cancer cells could mimic the phenotype of 53BP1 depletion, rescuing lethality and conferring resistance to PARP inhibition. 18,19 It will be consequently very interesting to exploit in the future the potential of NUP153 as a therapeutic target in certain cancers. were subjected to laser micro-irradiation using a 800-nm laser and subsequent real time recording of protein assembly at the damaged area.…”

“…53BP1 is a key determinant of DSB repair pathway choice and directs DNA repair toward NHEJ by competition with the cell cycle‐regulated HR repair protein BRCA1 (Bunting et al , 2010). Accordingly, 53BP1 deletion in BRCA1‐deficient cells allows replication protein A (RPA) loading and restoration of HR.…”

“…In line with this hypothesis, HP1α knockdown impairs both 53BP1 and BRCA1 recruitment to sites of damage. 17 Given that 53BP1 and BRCA1 have opposite effects on DNA-end resection, [30][31][32][33] further research on this particular issue would certainly be critical to shed light on the molecular details of HP1 role during this process.…”
