The breast cancer type I susceptibility protein (BRCA1) and BRCA1-associated RING domain protein I (BARD1) heterodimer promote genome integrity through pleiotropic functions, including DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR). BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization is required for their mutual stability, HR function, and role in tumor suppression; however, the upstream signaling events governing BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization are unclear. Here, we show that SIRT2, a sirtuin deacetylase and breast tumor suppressor, promotes BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization through deacetylation. SIRT2 complexes with BRCA1-BARD1 and deacetylates conserved lysines in the BARD1 RING domain, interfacing BRCA1, which promotes BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization and consequently BRCA1-BARD1 stability, nuclear retention, and localization to DNA damage sites, thus contributing to efficient HR. Our findings define a mechanism for regulation of BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization through SIRT2 deacetylation, elucidating a critical upstream signaling event directing BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization, which facilitates HR and tumor suppression, and delineating a role for SIRT2 in directing DSB repair by HR.
乳腺癌Ⅰ型易感蛋白(BRCA1)和 BRCA1 相关 RING 结构域蛋白 I(BARD1)异二聚体通过多种功能促进基因组完整性,包括同源重组(HR)的 DNA 双链断裂(DSB)修复。BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化是其相互稳定性、HR 功能和肿瘤抑制作用所必需的;然而,调控 BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化的上游信号事件尚不清楚。在这里,我们表明,SIRT2,一种去乙酰化酶和乳腺癌肿瘤抑制因子,通过去乙酰化促进 BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化。SIRT2 与 BRCA1-BARD1 复合物,并使 BARD1 RING 结构域中的保守赖氨酸去乙酰化,与 BRCA1 相互作用,促进 BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化,从而促进 BRCA1-BARD1 的稳定性、核保留和定位到 DNA 损伤部位,从而有助于有效进行 HR。我们的发现定义了通过 SIRT2 去乙酰化调控 BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化的机制,阐明了指导 BRCA1-BARD1 异二聚体化的关键上游信号事件,促进了 HR 和肿瘤抑制,并描绘了 SIRT2 在指导 HR 修复 DSB 中的作用。
