Cohesin profiling at DSBs

ABSTRACT: Chromatin undergoes major remodeling around DNA double strand breaks (DSB) to promote repair and DNA damage response (DDR) activation. We recently reported a high resolution map of gammaH2AX around multiple breaks on the human genome, using a new cell-based DSB inducible system. In an attempt to further characterize the chromatin landscape induced around DSBs, we now report the profile of SMC3, a subunit from the cohesin complex, previously characterized as required for repair by homologous recombination. We found that the recruitment of cohesin is moderate and restricted to the immediate vicinity of DSBs. In addition, we show that the cohesin complex, which was also recently proposed to be a key player in chromosome organisation and chromatin looping, controls gammaH2AX distribution withi
