Abstract
The INO80 protein is the main catalytic subunit of the INO80-chromatin remodeling complex, which is critical for DNA repair and transcription regulation in murine spermatocytes. In this study, we explored the role of INO80 in silencing genes on meiotic sex chromosomes in male mice. INO80 immunolocalization at the XY body in pachytene spermatocytes suggested a role for INO80 in the meiotic sex body. Subsequent deletion of Ino80 resulted in high expression of sex-linked genes. Furthermore, the active form of RNA polymerase II at the sex body of Ino80 -null pachytene spermatocytes indicates incomplete inactivation of sex-linked genes. A reduction in the recruitment of initiators of meiotic sex chromosome inhibition (MSCI) argues for INO80-facilitated recruitment of DNA repair factors required for silencing sex-linked genes. This role of INO80 is independent of a common INO80 target H2A.Z. Instead, in the absence of INO80, a reduction in chromatin accessibility at DNA repair sites occurs on the sex chromosomes. These data suggest a role for INO80 in DNA repair factor localization, thereby facilitating the silencing of sex-linked genes during the onset of pachynema. Summary Statement Chromatin accessibility and DNA repair factor localization at the sex chromosomes are facilitated by INO80, which regulates sex-linked gene silencing during meiotic progression in spermatocytes.

Abstract
DNA-damaging agents and endogenous DNA damage constantly harm genome integrity. Under genotoxic stress conditions, the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery is crucial in repairing lesions and preventing mutations in the basic structure of the DNA. Different repair pathways are implicated in the resolution of such lesions. For instance, the non-homologous DNA end joining and homologous recombination pathways are central cellular mechanisms by which eukaryotic cells maintain genome integrity. However, defects in these pathways are often associated with neurological disorders, indicating the pivotal role of DDR in normal brain development. Moreover, the brain is the most sensitive organ affected by DNA-damaging agents compared to other tissues during the prenatal period. The accumulation of lesions is believed to induce cell death, reduce proliferation and premature differentiation of neural stem and progenitor cells, and reduce brain size (microcephaly). Microcephaly is mainly caused by genetic mutations, especially genes encoding proteins involved in centrosomes and DNA repair pathways. However, it can also be induced by exposure to ionizing radiation and intrauterine infections such as the Zika virus. This review explains mammalian cortical development and the major DNA repair pathways that may lead to microcephaly when impaired. Next, we discuss the mechanisms and possible exposures leading to DNA damage and p53 hyperactivation culminating in microcephaly.

Identification and characterization of RuvBL DNA helicase genes for tolerance against abiotic stresses in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and related species. Funct Integr Genomics 2023; 23:255. [PMID: 37498392 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-023-01177-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
Recombination UVB (sensitivity) like (RuvBL) helicase genes represent a conserved family of genes, which are known to be involved in providing tolerance against abiotic stresses like heat and drought. We identified nine wheat RuvBL genes, one each on nine different chromosomes, belonging to homoeologous groups 2, 3, and 4. The lengths of genes ranged from 1647 to 2197 bp and exhibited synteny with corresponding genes in related species including Ae. tauschii, Z. mays, O. sativa, H. vulgare, and B. distachyon. The gene sequences were associated with regulatory cis-elements and transposable elements. Two genes, namely TaRuvBL1a-4A and TaRuvBL1a-4B, also carried targets for a widely known miRNA, tae-miR164. Gene ontology revealed that these genes were closely associated with ATP-dependent formation of histone acetyltransferase complex. Analysis of the structure and function of RuvBL proteins revealed that the proteins were localized mainly in the cytoplasm. A representative gene, namely TaRuvBL1a-4A, was also shown to be involved in protein-protein interactions with ten other proteins. On the basis of phylogeny, RuvBL proteins were placed in two sub-divisions, namely RuvBL1 and RuvBL2, which were further classified into clusters and sub-clusters. In silico studies suggested that these genes were differentially expressed under heat/drought. The qRT-PCR analysis confirmed that expression of TaRuvBL genes differed among wheat cultivars, which differed in the level of thermotolerance. The present study advances our understanding of the biological role of wheat RuvBL genes and should help in planning future studies on RuvBL genes in wheat including use of RuvBL genes in breeding thermotolerant wheat cultivars.

Abstract
Proliferating cells regularly experience replication stress caused by spontaneous DNA damage that results from endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA sequences that can assume secondary and tertiary structures, and collisions between opposing transcription and replication machineries. Cancer cells face additional replication stress, including oncogenic stress that results from the dysregulation of fork progression and origin firing, and from DNA damage induced by radiotherapy and most cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Cells respond to such stress by activating a complex network of sensor, signaling and effector pathways that protect genome integrity. These responses include slowing or stopping active replication forks, protecting stalled replication forks from collapse, preventing late origin replication firing, stimulating DNA repair pathways that promote the repair and restart of stalled or collapsed replication forks, and activating dormant origins to rescue adjacent stressed forks. Currently, most cancer patients are treated with genotoxic chemotherapeutics and/or ionizing radiation, and cancer cells can gain resistance to the resulting replication stress by activating pro-survival replication stress pathways. Thus, there has been substantial effort to develop small molecule inhibitors of key replication stress proteins to enhance tumor cell killing by these agents. Replication stress targets include ATR, the master kinase that regulates both normal replication and replication stress responses; the downstream signaling kinase Chk1; nucleases that process stressed replication forks (MUS81, EEPD1, Metnase); the homologous recombination catalyst RAD51; and other factors including ATM, DNA-PKcs, and PARP1. This review provides an overview of replication stress response pathways and discusses recent pre-clinical studies and clinical trials aimed at improving cancer therapy by targeting replication stress response factors.

Abstract
Numerous chromatin remodeling enzymes position nucleosomes in eukaryotic cells. Aside from these factors, transcription, DNA sequence, and statistical positioning of nucleosomes also shape the nucleosome landscape. The precise contributions of these processes remain unclear due to their functional redundancy in vivo. By incisive genome engineering, we radically decreased their redundancy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The transcriptional machinery strongly disrupts evenly spaced nucleosomes. Proper nucleosome density and DNA sequence are critical for their biogenesis. The INO80 remodeling complex helps space nucleosomes in vivo and positions the first nucleosome over genes in an H2A.Z-independent fashion. INO80 requires its Arp8 subunit but unexpectedly not the Nhp10 module for spacing. Cells with irregularly spaced nucleosomes suffer from genotoxic stress including DNA damage, recombination and transpositions. We derive a model of the biogenesis of the nucleosome landscape and suggest that it evolved not only to regulate but also to protect the genome.

Abstract
Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a homologous recombination-based telomere maintenance mechanism activated in 10-15% of human cancers. Although significant progress has been made, the key regulators of the ALT pathway and its role in cancer development remain elusive. Bioinformatics methods were used to predict novel telomere-associated proteins (TAPs) by analysis of large-scale ChIP-Seq data. Immunostaining and fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments were applied to detect the subcellular location of target genes and telomeres. Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to examine the expression of targeting genes. Overall survival (OS) analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between gene expression and survival time; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the distribution of target genes in liver cancer tissues. We found that nuclear factor related to kappaB binding protein (NFRKB), a metazoan-specific subunit of the INO80 complex, can associate with telomeres in human ALT cells. Loss of NFRKB induces dysfunction of telomeres and less PML bodies in U2OS cells. In addition, NFRKB is low/moderately expressed in cytoplasm of normal hepatocytes but heavily accumulating in the nucleus of liver cancer cells. Finally, the high expression of NFRKB is associated with short OS time and poor prognosis. NFRKB is a TAP and protects telomeres from DNA damage in ALT cells. It is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and predicts a poor prognosis. NFRKB may be a promising prognostic biomarker for the treatment of HCC in the future.

Abstract
Plants, with their obligatory immobility, are vastly exposed to a wide range of environmental agents and also various endogenous processes, which frequently cause damage to DNA and impose genotoxic stress. These factors subsequently increase genome instability, thus affecting plant growth and productivity. Therefore, to survive under frequent and extreme environmental stress conditions, plants have developed highly efficient and powerful defense mechanisms to repair the damages in the genome for maintaining genome stability. Such multi-dimensional signaling response, activated in presence of damage in the DNA, is collectively known as DNA Damage Response (DDR). DDR plays a crucial role in the remarkably efficient detection, signaling, and repair of damages in the genome for maintaining plant genome stability and normal growth responses. Like other highly advanced eukaryotic systems, chromatin dynamics play a key role in regulating cell cycle progression in plants through remarkable orchestration of environmental and developmental signals. The regulation of chromatin architecture and nucleosomal organization in DDR is mainly modulated by the ATP dependent chromatin remodelers (ACRs), chromatin modifiers, and histone chaperones. ACRs are mainly responsible for transcriptional regulation of several homologous recombination (HR) repair genes in plants under genotoxic stress. The HR-based repair of DNA damage has been considered as the most error-free mechanism of repair and represents one of the essential sources of genetic diversity and new allelic combinations in plants. The initiation of DDR signaling and DNA damage repair pathway requires recruitment of epigenetic modifiers for remodeling of the damaged chromatin while accumulating evidence has shown that chromatin remodeling and DDR share part of the similar signaling pathway through the altered epigenetic status of the associated chromatin region. In this review, we have integrated information to provide an overview on the association between chromatin remodeling mediated regulation of chromatin structure stability and DDR signaling in plants, with emphasis on the scope of the utilization of the available knowledge for the improvement of plant health and productivity.Abbreviation: ADH: Alcohol Dehydrogenase; AGO2: Argonaute 2; ARP: Actin-Related Protein; ASF:1- Anti-Silencing Function-1; ATM: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated; ATR: ATM and Rad3- Related; AtSWI3c: Arabidopsis thaliana Switch 3c; ATXR5: Arabidopsis Trithorax-Related5; ATXR6: Arabidopsis Trithorax-Related6; BER: Base Excision Repair; BRCA1: Breast Cancer Associated 1; BRM: BRAHMA; BRU1: BRUSHY1; CAF:1- Chromatin Assembly Factor-1; CHD: Chromodomain Helicase DNA; CHR5: Chromatin Remodeling Protein 5; CHR11/17: Chromatin Remodeling Protein 11/17; CIPK11- CBL- Interacting Protein Kinase 11; CLF: Curly Leaf; CMT3: Chromomethylase 3; COR15A: Cold Regulated 15A; COR47: Cold Regulated 47; CRISPR: Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats; DDM1: Decreased DNA Methylation1; DRR: DNA Repair and Recombination; DSBs: Double-Strand Breaks; DDR: DNA Damage Response; EXO1: Exonuclease 1; FAS1/2: Fasciata1/2; FACT: Facilitates Chromatin Transcription; FT: Flowering Locus T; GMI1: Gamma-Irradiation And Mitomycin C Induced 1; HAC1: Histone Acetyltransferase of the CBP Family 1; HAM1: Histone Acetyltransferase of the MYST Family 1; HAM2: Histone Acetyltransferase of the MYST Family 2; HAF1: Histone Acetyltransferase of the TAF Family 1; HAT: Histone Acetyl Transferase; HDA1: Histone Deacetylase 1; HDA6: Histone Deacetylase 6; HIRA: Histone Regulatory Homolog A; HR- Homologous recombination; HAS: Helicase SANT Associated; HSS: HAND-SLANT-SLIDE; ICE1: Inducer of CBF Expression 1; INO80: Inositol Requiring Mutant 80; ISW1: Imitation Switch 1; KIN1/2: Kinase 1 /2; MET1: Methyltransferase 1; MET2: Methyltransferase 2; MINU: MINUSCULE; MMS: Methyl Methane Sulfonate; MMS21: Methyl Methane Sulfonate Sensitivity 21; MRN: MRE11, RAD50 and NBS1; MSI1: Multicopy Suppressor Of Ira1; NAP1: Nucleosome Assembly Protein 1; NRP1/NRP2: NAP1-Related Protein; NER: Nucleotide Excision Repair; NHEJ: Non-Homologous End Joining; PARP1: Poly-ADP Ribose Polymerase; PIE1: Photoperiod Independent Early Flowering 1; PIKK: Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase-Like Kinase; PKL: PICKLE; PKR1/2: PICKLE Related 1/2; RAD: Radiation Sensitive Mutant; RD22: Responsive To Desiccation 22; RD29A: Responsive To Desiccation 29A; ROS: Reactive Oxygen Species; ROS1: Repressor of Silencing 1; RPA1E: Replication Protein A 1E; SANT: Swi3, Ada2, N-Cor and TFIIIB; SEP3: SEPALLATA3; SCC3: Sister Chromatid Cohesion Protein 3; SMC1: Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes Protein 1; SMC3: Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes Protein 3; SOG1: Suppressor of Gamma Response 1; SWC6: SWR1 Complex Subunit 6; SWR1: SWI2/SNF2-Related 1; SYD: SPLAYED; SMC5: Structural Maintenance of Chromosome 5; SWI/SNF: Switch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable; TALENs: Transcription Activators Like Effector Nucleases; TRRAP: Transformation/Transactivation Domain-Associated Protein; ZFNs: Zinc Finger Nucleases.

Abstract
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is a bacterial genotoxin that causes host cell cycle arrest and death. We previously employed a Saccharomyces cerevisiae model with inducible expression of the CDT catalytic subunit from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, AaCdtB, and showed that a wide variety of host factors play a role in facilitating the activity of CdtB. Our observation that a yeast H2B mutant defective in chromatin condensation was partially resistant to CdtB implies that chromatin structure may affect CDT function. In this study, we identified host chromatin regulatory genes required for CdtB cytotoxicity. We found that the deletion of HTZ1 or certain subunits of SWR, INO80, and SIR complexes increased cellular resistance to CdtB. We hypothesized that CdtB may interact with Htz1 or the chromatin, but immunoprecipitation experiments failed to detect physical interaction between CdtB and Htz1 or the chromatin. However, we observed reduced nuclear localization of CdtB in several mutants, suggesting that impaired nuclear translocation may, at least partly, explain the mechanisms of CdtB resistance. In addition, mutations in chromatin regulatory genes induce changes in the global gene expression profile, and these may indirectly affect CdtB toxicity. Our results suggest that decreased expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi transport-related genes that may be involved in CdtB transport and/or increased expression of DNA repair genes may contribute to CdtB resistance. These results suggest that the functions of chromatin regulators may contribute to the activity of CDT in host cells.

Abstract
The discovery of HAATIrDNA, a telomerase-negative survival mode in which canonical telomeres are replaced with ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats that acquire chromosome end-protection capability, raised crucial questions as to how rDNA tracts 'jump' to eroding chromosome ends. Here, we show that HAATIrDNA formation is initiated and limited by a single translocation that juxtaposes rDNA from Chromosome (Chr) III onto subtelomeric elements (STE) on Chr I or II; this rare reaction requires RNAi and the Ino80 nucleosome remodeling complex (Ino80C), thus defining an unforeseen relationship between these two machineries. The unique STE-rDNA junction created by this initial translocation is efficiently copied to the remaining STE chromosome ends, independently of RNAi or Ino80C. Intriguingly, both RNAi and Ino80C machineries contain a component that plays dual roles in HAATI subtype choice. Dcr1 of the RNAi pathway and Iec1 of Ino80C both promote HAATIrDNA formation as part of their respective canonical machineries, but both also inhibit formation of the exceedingly rare HAATISTE (where STE sequences mobilize throughout the genome and assume chromosome end protection capacity) in non-canonical, pathway-independent manners. This work provides a glimpse into a previously unrecognized crosstalk between RNAi and Ino80C in controlling unusual translocation reactions that establish telomere-free linear chromosome ends.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a mainstay of systemic therapy for a variety of cancers, such as lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and ovarian cancer. However, resistance to cisplatin represents one of the most significant barriers for patient outcome improvement. Actin-like 6A (ACTL6A) is a component of several chromatin remodeling complexes, including SWI/SNF, NuA4/TIP60 histone acetylase, and INO80. Amplification of ACTL6A gene is often seen in lung squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and esophageal cancer, but its significance remains to be fully determined. Here we identify ACTL6A overexpression as a novel cause for platinum resistance. High levels of ACTL6A are associated with chemoresistance in several types of human cancer. We show that overexpression of ACTL6A leads to increased repair of cisplatin-DNA adducts and resistance to cisplatin treatment. In contrast, depletion of ACTL6A inhibits the repair of cisplatin-induced DNA lesions, and increases cisplatin sensitivity in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells. The regulation of repair by ACTL6A is mediated through the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. Treatment with a histone deacetylase inhibitor can reverse the effect of ACTL6A overexpression on the repair of cisplatin-induced DNA damage and render cancer cells more sensitive to cisplatin treatment in a xenograft mouse model. Taken together, our study uncovers a novel role for ACTL6A in platinum resistance, and provides evidence supporting the feasibility of using HDAC inhibitors for platinum resistant tumors.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, genomic DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, which are the basal components coordinating both the structures and functions of chromatin. In this study, we screened a collection of mutations for histone H3/H4 mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that affect the DNA damage sensitivity of DNA damage tolerance (DDT)-deficient cells. We identified a class of histone H3/H4 mutations that suppress methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) sensitivity of DDT-deficient cells (referred to here as the histone SDD mutations), which likely cluster on a specific H3-H4 interface of the nucleosomes. The histone SDD mutations did not suppress the MMS sensitivity of DDT-deficient cells in the absence of Rad51, indicating that homologous recombination (HR) is responsible for DNA damage resistance. Furthermore, the histone SDD mutants showed reduced levels of PCNA ubiquitination after exposure to MMS or UV irradiation, consistent with decreased MMS-induced mutagenesis relative to that of wild-type cells. We also found that histone SDD mutants lacking the INO80 chromatin remodeler impair HR-dependent recovery from MMS-induced replication arrest, resulting in defective S-phase progression and increased Rad52 foci. Taken together, our data provide novel insights into nucleosome functions, which link INO80-dependent chromatin remodeling to the regulation of DDT and HR during the recovery from replication blockage.

Abstract
Chromatin remodeling complexes have functions in transcriptional regulation and chromosome maintenance, but it is mostly unknown how the function of these normally ubiquitous complexes is specified in the cellular context. Here, we describe that the evolutionary conserved long non‐coding RNA linc‐MYH regulates the composition of the INO80 chromatin remodeler complex in muscle stem cells and prevents interaction with WDR5 and the transcription factor YY1. Linc‐MYH acts as a selective molecular switch in trans that governs the pro‐proliferative function of the ubiquitous INO80 complex but does not affect its role in maintaining genomic stability. The molecular switch is essential for restricting generation of quiescent MuSCs and proliferation of myoblasts in homeostasis and regeneration. Since linc‐MYH is expressed in proliferating myoblasts but not in quiescent MuSCs, we reason that the extent of myoblast proliferation has decisive effects on the size of the quiescent MuSC pool.

Abstract
The nucleosome is a small unit of chromatin, which is dynamic in eukaryotes. Chromatin conformation and post-translational modifications affect nucleosome dynamics under certain conditions, playing an important role in the epigenetic regulation of transcription, replication and reprogramming. The Snf2 remodeling family is one of the crucial remodeling complexes that tightly regulate chromatin structure and affect nucleosome dynamics. This family alters nucleosome positioning, exchanges histone variants, and assembles and disassembles nucleosomes at certain locations. Moreover, the Snf2 family, in conjunction with other co-factors, regulates gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we first review recent findings on the Snf2 family remodeling complexes and then use some examples to illustrate the cooperation between different members of Snf2 family, and the cooperation between Snf2 family and other co-factors in gene regulation especially during transcription initiation.

Abstract
DNA damage response (DDR) in eukaryotic cells is initiated in the chromatin context. DNA damage and repair depend on or have influence on the chromatin dynamics associated with genome stability. Epigenetic modifiers, such as chromatin remodelers, histone modifiers, DNA (de-)methylation enzymes, and noncoding RNAs regulate DDR signaling and DNA repair by affecting chromatin dynamics. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of plant DDR and DNA repair. SUPPRESSOR OF GAMMA RESPONSE1, RETINOBLASTOMA RELATED1 (RBR1)/E2FA, and NAC103 have been proven to be key players in the mediation of DDR signaling in plants, while plant-specific chromatin remodelers, such as DECREASED DNA METHYLATION1, contribute to chromatin dynamics for DNA repair. There is accumulating evidence that plant epigenetic modifiers are involved in DDR and DNA repair. In this review, I examine how DDR and DNA repair machineries are concertedly regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana by a variety of epigenetic modifiers directing chromatin remodeling and epigenetic modification. This review will aid in updating our knowledge on DDR and DNA repair in plants.

Abstract
Background ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes are responsible for establishing and maintaining the positions of nucleosomes. Chromatin remodellers are targeted to chromatin by transcription factors and non-coding RNA to remodel the chromatin into functional states. However, the influence of chromatin remodelling on shaping the functional epigenome is not well understood. Moreover, chromatin remodellers have not been extensively explored as a collective group across two-dimensional and three-dimensional epigenomic layers. Results Here, we have integrated the genome-wide binding profiles of eight chromatin remodellers together with DNA methylation, nucleosome positioning, histone modification and Hi-C chromosomal contacts to reveal that chromatin remodellers can be stratified into two functional groups. Group 1 (BRG1, SNF2H, CHD3 and CHD4) has a clear preference for binding at ‘actively marked’ chromatin and Group 2 (BRM, INO80, SNF2L and CHD1) for ‘repressively marked’ chromatin. We find that histone modifications and chromatin architectural features, but not DNA methylation, stratify the remodellers into these functional groups. Conclusions Our findings suggest that chromatin remodelling events are synchronous and that chromatin remodellers themselves should be considered simultaneously and not as individual entities in isolation or necessarily by structural similarity, as they are traditionally classified. Their coordinated function should be considered by preference for chromatin features in order to gain a more accurate and comprehensive picture of chromatin regulation.

Abstract
Nuclear actin and actin-related proteins (Arps) are key components of chromatin remodeling and modifying complexes. Although Arps are essential for the functions of chromatin remodelers, their specific roles and mechanisms are unclear. Here we define the nucleosome binding interfaces and functions of the evolutionarily conserved Arps in the yeast INO80 chromatin remodeling complex. We show that the N-terminus of Arp8, C-terminus of Arp4 and the HSA domain of Ino80 bind extranucleosomal DNA 37-51 base pairs from the edge of nucleosomes and function as a DNA-length sensor that regulates nucleosome sliding by INO80. Disruption of Arp8 and Arp4 binding to DNA uncouples ATP hydrolysis from nucleosome mobilization by disengaging Arp5 from the acidic patch on histone H2A-H2B and the Ino80-ATPase domain from the Super-helical Location (SHL) -6 of nucleosomes. Our data suggest a functional interplay between INO80's Arp8-Arp4-actin and Arp5 modules in sensing the DNA length separating nucleosomes and regulating nucleosome positioning.

Abstract
The ability of cells to detect and repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) within the complex architecture of the genome requires co-ordination between the DNA repair machinery and chromatin remodelling complexes. This co-ordination is essential to process damaged chromatin and create open chromatin structures which are required for repair. Initially, there is a PARP-dependent recruitment of repressors, including HP1 and several H3K9 methyltransferases, and exchange of histone H2A.Z by the NuA4-Tip60 complex. This creates repressive chromatin at the DSB in which the tail of histone H4 is bound to the acidic patch on the nucleosome surface. These repressor complexes are then removed, allowing rapid acetylation of the H4 tail by Tip60. H4 acetylation blocks interaction between the H4 tail and the acidic patch on adjacent nucleosomes, decreasing inter-nucleosomal interactions and creating open chromatin. Further, the H4 tail is now free to recruit proteins such as 53BP1 to DSBs, a process modulated by H4 acetylation, and provides binding sites for bromodomain proteins, including ZMYND8 and BRD4, which are important for DSB repair. Here, we will discuss how the H4 tail functions as a dynamic hub that can be programmed through acetylation to alter chromatin packing and recruit repair proteins to the break site.This article is part of the themed issue 'Chromatin modifiers and remodellers in DNA repair and signalling'.

Abstract
Proper signalling and repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) is critical to prevent genome instability and diseases such as cancer. The packaging of DNA into chromatin, however, has evolved as a mere obstacle to these DSB responses. Posttranslational modifications and ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling help to overcome this barrier by modulating nucleosome structures and allow signalling and repair machineries access to DSBs in chromatin. Here we recap our current knowledge on how ATP-dependent SMARCA- and CHD-type chromatin remodellers alter chromatin structure during the signalling and repair of DSBs and discuss how their dysfunction impacts genome stability and human disease.

Abstract
The accessibility of eukaryotic genomes to the action of enzymes involved in transcription, replication and repair is maintained despite the organization of DNA into nucleosomes. This access is often regulated by the action of ATP-dependent nucleosome remodellers. The INO80 class of nucleosome remodellers has unique structural features and it is implicated in a diverse array of functions, including transcriptional regulation, DNA replication and DNA repair. Underlying these diverse functions is the catalytic activity of the main ATPase subunit, which in the context of a multisubunit complex can shift nucleosomes and carry out histone dimer exchange. In vitro studies showed that INO80 promotes replication fork progression on a chromatin template, while in vivo it was shown to facilitate replication fork restart after stalling and to help evict RNA polymerase II at transcribed genes following the collision of a replication fork with transcription. More recent work in yeast implicates INO80 in the general eviction and degradation of nucleosomes following high doses of oxidative DNA damage. Beyond these replication and repair functions, INO80 was shown to repress inappropriate transcription at promoters in the opposite direction to the coding sequence. Here we discuss the ways in which INO80's diverse functions help maintain genome integrity.This article is part of the themed issue 'Chromatin modifiers and remodellers in DNA repair and signalling'.

Abstract
Chromatin remodeling complexes are essential for gene expression programs that coordinate cell function with metabolic status. However, how these remodelers are integrated in metabolic stability pathways is not well known. Here, we report an expansive genetic screen with chromatin remodelers and metabolic regulators in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that, unlike the SWR1 remodeler, the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex is composed of multiple distinct functional subunit modules. We identified a strikingly divergent genetic signature for the Ies6 subunit module that links the INO80 complex to metabolic homeostasis. In particular, mitochondrial maintenance is disrupted in ies6 mutants. INO80 is also needed to communicate TORC1-mediated signaling to chromatin, as ino80 mutants exhibit defective transcriptional profiles and altered histone acetylation of TORC1-responsive genes. Furthermore, comparative analysis reveals subunits of INO80 and mTORC1 have high co-occurrence of alterations in human cancers. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the INO80 complex is a central component of metabolic homeostasis that influences histone acetylation and may contribute to disease when disrupted.
