Recruitment of RBM6 to DNA Double-Strand Breaks Fosters Homologous Recombination Repair.

ABSTRACT: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly toxic lesions that threaten genome integrity and cell survival. To avoid harmful repercussions of DSBs, a wide variety of DNA repair factors are recruited to execute DSB repair. Previously, we demonstrated that RBM6 splicing factor facilitates homologous recombination (HR) of DSB by regulating alternative splicing-coupled nonstop-decay of the HR protein APBB1/Fe65. Here, we describe a splicing-independent function of RBM6 in promoting HR repair of DSBs. We show that RBM6 is recruited to DSB sites and PARP1 activity indirectly regulates RBM6 recruitment to DNA breakage sites. Deletion mapping analysis revealed a region containing five glycine residues within the G-patch domain that regulates RBM6 accumulation at DNA damage sites. We further ascerta
