A DNA-PK phosphorylation site on MET regulates its signaling interface with the DNA damage response.

ABSTRACT: The DNA damage response (DDR) is intertwined with signaling pathways downstream of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). To drive research into the application of targeted therapies as radiosensitizers, a better understanding of this molecular crosstalk is necessary. We present here the characterization of a previously unreported MET RTK phosphosite, Serine 1016 (S1016) that represents a potential DDR-MET interface. MET S1016 phosphorylation increases in response to irradiation and is mainly targeted by DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). Phosphoproteomics unveils an impact of the S1016A substitution on the overall long-term cell cycle regulation following DNA damage. Accordingly, the abrogation of this phosphosite strongly perturbs the phosphorylation of proteins involved in the
