ATM is a central regulator of the cellular responses to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Here we identify a biochemical interaction between ATM and RSF1 and we characterise the role of RSF1 in this response. The ATM-RSF1 interaction is dependent upon both DSBs and ATM kinase activity. Together with SNF2H/SMARCA5, RSF1 forms the RSF chromatin-remodelling complex. Although RSF1 is specific to the RSF complex, SNF2H/SMARCA5 is a catalytic subunit of several other chromatin-remodelling complexes. Although not required for checkpoint signalling, RSF1 is required for efficient repair of DSBs via both end-joining and homology-directed repair. Specifically, the ATM-dependent recruitment to sites of DSBs of the histone fold proteins CENPS/MHF1 and CENPX/MHF2, previously identified at centromeres, is RSF1-dependent. In turn these proteins recruit and regulate the mono-ubiquitination of the Fanconi Anaemia proteins FANCD2 and FANCI. We propose that by depositing CENPS/MHF1 and CENPX/MHF2, the RSF complex either directly or indirectly contributes to the reorganisation of chromatin around DSBs that is required for efficient DNA repair.

Herein, Tudor-SN was identified as a DNA damage response (DDR)-related protein that plays important roles in the early stage of DDR. X-ray or laser irradiation could evoke the accumulation of Tudor-SN to DNA damage sites in a poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation-dependent manner via interaction with PARP-1. Additionally, we illustrated that the SN domain of Tudor-SN mediated the association of these two proteins. The accumulated Tudor-SN further recruited SMARCA5 (ATP-dependent chromatin remodeller) and GCN5 (histone acetyltransferase) to DNA damage sites, resulting in chromatin relaxation, and consequently activating the ATM kinase and downstream DNA repair signalling pathways to promote cell survival. Consistently, the loss-of-function of Tudor-SN attenuated the enrichment of SMARCA5, GCN5 and acetylation of histone H3 (acH3) at DNA break sites and abolished chromatin relaxation; as a result, the cells exhibited DNA repair and cell survival deficiency. As Tudor-SN protein is highly expressed in different tumours, it is likely to be involved in the radioresistance of cancer treatment.
