Abstract
The DNA-damage-induced transcriptional suppression of cell cycle regulatory genes correlates with a reduction in histone H3-Thr 11 phosphorylation (H3-pThr 11) on their promoters that is partly mediated by the dissociation of Chk1 from chromatin. In this study, we identify protein phosphatase 1γ (PP1γ) as a phosphatase responsible for DNA-damage-induced H3-pThr 11 dephosphorylation. PP1γ is activated after DNA damage, which is mainly mediated by a reduction in Cdk-dependent phosphorylation of PP1γ at Thr 311. The depletion of PP1γ sensitizes HCT116 cells to DNA damage. Our results suggest that the ataxia telangiectasia, mutated and Rad3-related-Chk1 axis regulates H3-pThr 11 dephosphorylation on DNA damage, at least in part by the activation of PP1γ through Chk1-dependent inhibition of Cdks.Entities:
