Mechanistically,
β€’ 53BP1 & RAD18 don’t bind nucleosomes with RNF168-ubiquitinated macroH2A1.2 ;
β€’ macroH2A1.2 blocks their recruitment to certain loci under stress ;
β€’ Disruption of macroH2A1.2 ubiquitination = toxic RAD18 foci ;
β€’ RAD18 buildup at collapsed forks is MUS81 dependent.

This study revealed an unexpected role for histone macroH2A1.2 ubiquitination in preventing replication fork collapse and RAD18-dependent toxicity during prolonged replication stress. When macroH2A1.2 or its ubiquitination is missing, cells become sensitized to specific types of replication stress.

CTC1-STN1-TEN1 controls DNA break repair pathway choice via DNA end resection blockade Antagonistic activities of the 53BP1 axis and the tumor suppressor BRCA1-BARD1 determine whether DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by end joining or homologous recombination. We show that t...

Excited to share our latest publication, out in @science.org! We define a key role for the CST complex in double-strand break repair pathway choice. This study was conducted in close collaboration with the Sung lab at UT Health San Antonio. Congrats to @michelleswift.bsky.social and all authors!
