Abstract

Combinational therapies provoking cell death are of major interest in oncology. Combining TORC2 kinase inhibition with the radiomimetic drug Zeocin results in a rapid accumulation of double-strand breaks (DSB) in the budding yeast genome. This lethal Yeast Chromosome Shattering (YCS) requires conserved enzymes of base excision repair. YCS can be attenuated by eliminating three N-glycosylases or endonucleases Apn1/Apn2 and Rad1, which act to convert oxidized bases into abasic sites and single-strand nicks. Adjacent lesions must be repaired in a step-wise fashion to avoid generating DSBs. Artificially increasing nuclear actin by destabilizing cytoplasmic actin filaments or by expressing a nuclear export-deficient actin interferes with this step-wise repair and generates DSBs, while mutants that impair DNA polymerase processivity reduce them. Repair factors that bind actin include Apn1, RFA and the actin-dependent chromatin remodeler INO80C. During YCS, increased INO80C activity could enhance both DNA polymerase processivity and repair factor access to convert clustered lesions into DSBs.
