Loss of functional BRCA1 protein leads to defects in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) and renders cells hypersensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors used to treat BRCA1/2-deficient cancers. However, upon chronic treatment of BRCA1-mutant cells with PARP inhibitors, resistant clones can arise via several mechanisms, including loss of 53BP1 or its downstream co-factors. Defects in the 53BP1 axis partially restore the ability of a BRCA1-deficient cell to form RAD51 filaments at resected DSBs in a PALB2- and BRCA2-dependent manner, and thereby repair DSBs by HR. Here we show that depleting 53BP1 in BRCA1-null cells restores PALB2 accrual at resected DSBs. Moreover, we demonstrate that PALB2 DSB recruitment in BRCA1/53BP1-deficient cells is mediated by an interaction between PALB2's chromatin associated motif (ChAM) and the nucleosome acidic patch region, which in 53BP1-expressing cells is bound by 53BP1's ubiquitin-directed recruitment (UDR) domain.
BRCA1 蛋白功能丧失会导致同源重组(HR)修复 DNA 双链断裂(DSB)的缺陷,使细胞对用于治疗 BRCA1/2 缺陷型癌症的聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(PARP)抑制剂变得敏感。然而,在对 BRCA1 突变细胞进行慢性 PARP 抑制剂治疗后,通过多种机制可产生耐药克隆,包括 53BP1 或其下游共因子的缺失。53BP1 轴的缺陷部分恢复了 BRCA1 缺陷细胞在 PALB2 和 BRCA2 依赖性方式下在切除的 DSB 处形成 RAD51 丝的能力,从而通过 HR 修复 DSB。在这里,我们表明在 BRCA1 缺失细胞中耗尽 53BP1 可恢复切除的 DSB 处的 PALB2 积累。此外,我们证明 BRCA1/53BP1 缺陷细胞中 PALB2 DSB 的募集是由 PALB2 的染色质相关基序(ChAM)与核小体酸性补丁区域之间的相互作用介导的,在表达 53BP1 的细胞中,该相互作用由 53BP1 的泛素导向募集(UDR)结构域结合。
