Abstract
The DNA damage checkpoint is a highly conserved signaling pathway induced by genotoxin exposure or endogenous genome stress. It alters many cellular processes such as arresting the cell cycle progression and increasing DNA repair capacities. However, cells can downregulate the checkpoint after prolonged stress exposure to allow continued growth and alternative repair. Strategies that can dampen the DNA damage checkpoint are not well understood. Here, we report that budding yeast employs a pathway composed of the scaffold protein Rtt107, its binding partner Mms22, and an Mms22-associated ubiquitin ligase complex to downregulate the DNA damage checkpoint. Mechanistically, this pathway promotes the proteasomal degradation of a key checkpoint factor, Rad9. Furthermore, Rtt107 binding to Mms22 helps to enrich the ubiquitin ligase complex on chromatin and target the chromatin-bound form of Rad9. Finally, we provide evidence that the Rtt107-Mms22 axis operates in parallel with the Rtt107-Slx4 axis, which displaces Rad9 from chromatin. We thus propose that Rtt107 enables a bifurcated "anti-Rad9" strategy to optimally downregulate the DNA damage checkpoint.

Abstract
H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is a conserved histone modification catalyzed by histone methyltransferase Set1, and its dysregulation is associated with pathologies. Here, we show that Set1 is intrinsically unstable and elucidate how its protein levels are controlled within cell cycle and during gene transcription. Specifically, Set1 contains a destruction box (D-box) that is recognized by E3 ligase APC/CCdh1 and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Cla4 phosphorylates serine 228 (S228) within Set1 D-box, which inhibits APC/CCdh1-mediated Set1 proteolysis. During gene transcription, PAF complex facilitates Cla4 to phosphorylate Set1-S228 and protect chromatin-bound Set1 from degradation. By modulating Set1 stability and its binding to chromatin, Cla4 and APC/CCdh1 control H3K4me3 levels, which then regulate gene transcription, cell cycle progression, and chronological aging. In addition, there are 141 proteins containing the D-box that can be potentially phosphorylated by Cla4 to prevent their degradation by APC/CCdh1. We addressed the long-standing question about how Set1 stability is controlled and uncovered a new mechanism to regulate protein stability.

Abstract
Histones are DNA-binding basic proteins found in chromosomes. After the histone translation, its amino tail undergoes various modifications, such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, malonylation, propionylation, butyrylation, crotonylation, and lactylation, which together constitute the "histone code." The relationship between their combination and biological function can be used as an important epigenetic marker. Methylation and demethylation of the same histone residue, acetylation and deacetylation, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, and even methylation and acetylation between different histone residues cooperate or antagonize with each other, forming a complex network. Histone-modifying enzymes, which cause numerous histone codes, have become a hot topic in the research on cancer therapeutic targets. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the role of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in cell life activities is very important for preventing and treating human diseases. In this review, several most thoroughly studied and newly discovered histone PTMs are introduced. Furthermore, we focus on the histone-modifying enzymes with carcinogenic potential, their abnormal modification sites in various tumors, and multiple essential molecular regulation mechanism. Finally, we summarize the missing areas of the current research and point out the direction of future research. We hope to provide a comprehensive understanding and promote further research in this field.

Abstract
Chromatin is the context for all DNA-based molecular processes taking place in the cell nucleus. The initial chromatin structure at the site of the DNA damage determines both, lesion generation and subsequent activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. In turn, proceeding DDR changes the chromatin at the damaged site and across large fractions of the genome. Ubiquitination, besides phosphorylation and methylation, was characterized as an important chromatin post-translational modification (PTM) occurring at the DNA damage site and persisting during the duration of the DDR. Ubiquitination appears to function as a highly versatile “signal-response” network involving several types of players performing various functions. Here we discuss how ubiquitin modifiers fine-tune the DNA damage recognition and response and how the interaction with other chromatin modifications ensures cell survival.

Abstract
Chromatin structure is a major regulator of DNA-associated processes, such as transcription, DNA repair, and replication. Histone post-translational modifications, or PTMs, play a key role on chromatin dynamics. PTMs are involved in a wide range of biological processes in eukaryotes, including fungal species. Their deposition/removal and their underlying functions have been extensively investigated in yeasts but much less in other fungi. Nonetheless, the major role of histone PTMs in regulating primary and secondary metabolisms of filamentous fungi, including human and plant pathogens, has been pinpointed. In this review, an overview of major identified PTMs and their respective functions in fungi is provided, with a focus on filamentous fungi when knowledge is available. To date, most of these studies investigated histone acetylations and methylations, but the development of new methodologies and technologies increasingly allows the wider exploration of other PTMs, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, sumoylation, and acylation. Considering the increasing number of known PTMs and the full range of their possible interactions, investigations of the subsequent Histone Code, i.e., the biological consequence of the combinatorial language of all histone PTMs, from a functional point of view, are exponentially complex. Better knowledge about histone PTMs would make it possible to efficiently fight plant or human contamination, avoid the production of toxic secondary metabolites, or optimize the industrial biosynthesis of certain beneficial compounds.

Abstract
The cellular response to DNA damage (DDR) that causes replication collapse and/or DNA double strand breaks, is characterised by a massive change in the post-translational modifications (PTM) of hundreds of proteins involved in the detection and repair of DNA damage, and the communication of the state of damage to the cellular systems that regulate replication and cell division. A substantial proportion of these PTMs involve targeted phosphorylation, which among other effects, promotes the formation of multiprotein complexes through the specific binding of phosphorylated motifs on one protein, by specialised domains on other proteins. Understanding the nature of these phosphorylation mediated interactions allows definition of the pathways and networks that coordinate the DDR, and helps identify new targets for therapeutic intervention that may be of benefit in the treatment of cancer, where DDR plays a key role. In this review we summarise the present understanding of how phosphorylated motifs are recognised by BRCT domains, which occur in many DDR proteins. We particularly focus on TOPBP1 - a multi-BRCT domain scaffold protein with essential roles in replication and the repair and signalling of DNA damage.

DNA Damage-Induced Phosphorylation of Histone H2A at Serine 15 Is Linked to DNA End Resection. Mol Cell Biol 2021; 41:e0005621.

Abstract
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occurs in chromatin, and several histone posttranslational modifications have been implicated in the process. Modifications of the histone H2A N-terminal tail have also been linked to DNA damage response, through acetylation or ubiquitination of lysine residues that regulate repair pathway choice. Here, we characterize a new DNA damage-induced phosphorylation on chromatin, at serine 15 of H2A in yeast. We show that this SQ motif functions independently of the classical S129 C-terminal site (γ-H2A) and that mutant-mimicking constitutive phosphorylation increases cell sensitivity to DNA damage. H2AS129ph is induced by Tel1ATM and Mec1ATR, and the loss of Lcd1ATRIP or Mec1 signaling decreases γ-H2A spreading distal to the DSB. In contrast, H2AS15ph is completely dependent on Lcd1ATRIP, indicating that this modification only happens when end resection is engaged. This is supported by an increase in replication protein A (RPA) and a decrease in DNA signal near the DSB in H2A-S15E phosphomimic mutants, indicating higher resection. In mammals, this serine is replaced by a lysine (H2AK15) which undergoes an acetyl-monoubiquityl switch to regulate binding of 53BP1 and resection. This regulation seems functionally conserved with budding yeast H2AS15 and 53BP1-homolog Rad9, using different posttranslational modifications between organisms but achieving the same function.

Abstract
Most epithelial cancer types are polygenic in nature and are driven by coordinated dysregulation of multiple regulatory pathways, genes, and protein modifications. The process of coordinated regulation of cancer promoting pathways in response to extrinsic and intrinsic signals facilitates the dysregulation of several pathways with complementary functions, contributing to the hallmarks of cancer. Dysregulation and hyperactivation of cell surface human epidermal growth factor receptors (HERs) and cytoskeleton remodeling by p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are two prominent interconnected aspects of oncogenesis. We briefly discuss the discoveries and significant advances in the area of coordinated regulation of HERs and PAKs in the development and progression of breast and other epithelial cancers. We also discuss how initial studies involving heregulin signaling via HER3-HER2 axis and HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells not only discovered a mechanistic role of PAK1 in breast cancer pathobiology but also acted as a bridge in generating a broader cancer research interest in other PAK family members and cancer types and catalyzed establishing the role of PAKs in human cancer, at-large. In addition, growth factor stimulation of the PAK pathway also helped to recognize new facets of PAKs, connecting the PAK pathway to oncogenesis, nuclear signaling, gene expression, mitotic progression, DNA damage response, among other phenotypic responses, and shaped the field of PAK cancer research. Finally, we recount some of the current limitations of HER- and PAK-directed therapeutics in counteracting acquired therapeutic resistance and discuss how cancer's as a polygenic disease may be best targeted with a polygenic approach.

Abstract
Cells confront DNA damage in every cell cycle. Among the most deleterious types of DNA damage are DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which can cause cell lethality if unrepaired or cancers if improperly repaired. In response to DNA DSBs, cells activate a complex DNA damage checkpoint (DDC) response that arrests the cell cycle, reprograms gene expression, and mobilizes DNA repair factors to prevent the inheritance of unrepaired and broken chromosomes. Here we examine the DDC, induced by DNA DSBs, in the budding yeast model system and in mammals.

Abstract
Cells have the ability to sense, respond and adapt to environmental fluctuations. Stress causes a massive reorganization of the transcriptional program. Many examples of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been associated with transcriptional activation or repression under steady-state growth conditions. Comparatively less is known about the role of histone PTMs in the cellular adaptive response to stress. Here, we performed high-throughput genetic screenings that provide a novel global map of the histone residues required for transcriptional reprogramming in response to heat and osmotic stress. Of note, we observed that the histone residues needed depend on the type of gene and/or stress, thereby suggesting a 'personalized', rather than general, subset of histone requirements for each chromatin context. In addition, we identified a number of new residues that unexpectedly serve to regulate transcription. As a proof of concept, we characterized the function of the histone residues H4-S47 and H4-T30 in response to osmotic and heat stress, respectively. Our results uncover novel roles for the kinases Cla4 and Ste20, yeast homologs of the mammalian PAK2 family, and the Ste11 MAPK as regulators of H4-S47 and H4-T30, respectively. This study provides new insights into the role of histone residues in transcriptional regulation under stress conditions.

Abstract
In order to preserve genome integrity and their ploidy, cells must ensure that the duplicated genome has been faithfully replicated and evenly distributed before they complete their division by mitosis. To this end, cells have developed highly elaborated checkpoints that halt mitotic progression when problems in DNA integrity or chromosome segregation arise, providing them with time to fix these issues before advancing further into the cell cycle. Remarkably, exit from mitosis constitutes a key cell cycle transition that is targeted by the main mitotic checkpoints, despite these surveillance mechanisms being activated by specific intracellular signals and acting at different stages of cell division. Focusing primarily on research carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism, the aim of this review is to provide a general overview of the molecular mechanisms by which the major cell cycle checkpoints control mitotic exit and to highlight the importance of the proper regulation of this process for the maintenance of genome stability during the distribution of the duplicated chromosomes between the dividing cells.

Abstract
Cancer numbers increasing, cases heterogeneity and the drug resistance emergence have pushed scientists to search for innovative solutions for patients and epimutations can be one. Methylated DNA, modified nucleosomes and noncoding RNAs are found in all cells, including tumor cells. They are intracellular actors but also have intercellular communication roles, being released in extracellular environment and in different body fluids. Here, we reviewed current literature on the use of these blood circulating epimarks in cancer monitoring. What stands out is that epimarkers must be considered as ‘real time’ images of the tumor, and can be isolated without invasive methods. In the future, the real challenge lies in the development of specific, sensitive, fast and clinically applicable detection and analysis methods of epimarkers.

Abstract
The nucleosome is the structural and fundamental unit of eukaryotic chromatin. The chromatin remodeling complexes change nucleosome composition, packaging and positioning to regulate DNA accessibility for cellular machinery. SWI2/SNF2-Related 1 Chromatin Remodeling Complex (SWR1-C) belongs to the INO80 chromatin remodeling family and mainly catalyzes the exchange of H2A-H2B with the H2A.Z-H2B dimer. The replacement of H2A.Z into nucleosomes affects nucleosome stability and chromatin structure. Incorporation of H2A.Z into the chromatin and its physiochemical properties play a key role in transcriptional regulation during developmental and environmental responses. In Arabidopsis, various studies have uncovered several pivotal roles of SWR1-C. Recently, notable progress has been achieved in understanding the role of SWR1-C in plant developmental and physiological processes such as DNA damage repair, stress tolerance, and flowering time. The present article introduces the SWR1-C and comprehensively reviews recent discoveries made in understanding the function of the SWR1 complex in plants.

Abstract
Recent papers suggest that oncogenic Ras participate in regulating tumour cells proliferation and metastasis. This work linked Ras with H1.4 modification in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), to better understand the oncogenic effects of Ras. A plasmid for expressing Ras mutated at G13D and T35S was transfected into NCI-H2126 and A549 cells. Phosphorylation of H1.4S36 was determined by immunoblotting. Effects of phosphorylation of H1.4 at serine (S) 36 (H1.4S36ph) on NCI-H2126 and A549 cells were tested by MTT assay, soft-agar colony formation assay, flow cytometry and transwell assay. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RT-qPCR were conducted to measure the effects of H1.4S36ph on Ras downstream genes. The catalyzing enzymes participate in H1.4S36 phosphorylation were further studied. We found that Ras-ERK signalling repressed the phosphorylation of H1.4 at S36. H1.4S36ph functioned as a tumour suppressor, as its overexpression repressed NCI-H2126 and A549 cells viability, colony formation, S-phase arrest, migration and invasion. H1.4S36ph was able to mediate the transcription of Ras downstream genes. Ras-ERK signalling repressed H1.4S36ph through degradation of PKA, and the degradation was mediated by MDM2. In conclusion, Ras-ERK signalling repressed H1.4 phosphorylation at S36 to participate in NSCLC cells growth, migration and invasion. Ras-ERK signalling repressed H1.4S36ph through MDM2-dependent degradation of PKA. This study provides a novel explanation for Ras-ERK's tumour-promoting function. Highlights: H1.4S36 phosphorylation is repressed by Ras-ERK activation; H1.4S36ph inhibits the phenotype of NSCLC cells; H1.4S36ph regulates the transcription of Ras downstream genes; Ras-ERK represses H1.4S36ph by MDM2-dependent degradation of PKA.

Abstract
Modulation of chromatin templates in response to cellular cues, including DNA damage, relies heavily on the post-translation modification of histones. Numerous types of histone modifications including phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitylation occur on specific histone residues in response to DNA damage. These histone marks regulate both the structure and function of chromatin, allowing for the transition between chromatin states that function in undamaged condition to those that occur in the presence of DNA damage. Histone modifications play well-recognized roles in sensing, processing, and repairing damaged DNA to ensure the integrity of genetic information and cellular homeostasis. This review highlights our current understanding of histone modifications as they relate to DNA damage responses (DDRs) and their involvement in genome maintenance, including the potential targeting of histone modification regulators in cancer, a disease that exhibits both epigenetic dysregulation and intrinsic DNA damage.
