Altered levels of MOF and decreased levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR).

ABSTRACT: Full title: Altered levels of MOF (member of MYST family histone acetyl transferase) and decreased levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR). The human MOF gene encodes a protein that specifically acetylates histone H4 at lysine 16 (H4K16ac). Here we show that altered levels of H4K16ac correlate with a defective DNA damage response (DDR) to ionizing radiation (IR). The defect however is not due to altered expression of proteins involved in DDR. Specific inhibition of H4K16ac deacetylation in MOF-depleted cells rescued IR-induced abrogation of DDR. MOF was found associated with DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNAPKcs), a protein involved in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair, whose ATMdependent IR-induced phosphorylation was abrogated in MO
