Die molekularen Mechanismen und Regulation des durch DNS-Schädigung induzierten Exportes des menschlichen MacroD2-Proteins aus dem Zellkern
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Accurate and timely DNA damage repair involves the integration of a large number of signals. Genomic instability, a common characteristic of cancers, is often caused by the impaired response and coordination of vital signaling pathways upon DNA damage. Phosphorylation and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) are important signals, so called post-translational modifications upon DNA damage. MacroD2, one of the enzymes that can fully remove the PAR signal from proteins, emerges as a regulator of the crosstalk between phosphorylation and PARylation. Mutations of MacroD2 have been associated with both cancers and neurological disorders. We found that MacroD2 rapidly recruits to damage sites in response to local PARylation, but is exported from the nucleus – where the DNA is found – upon its phosphorylation by the DNA damage-induced kinase ATM (Ataxia telangiectasia mutated). Understanding the molecular functions of disease relevant proteins should help develop novel therapeutic strategies in the future.
