dc.description.abstractMammalian cells repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via efficient pathways of direct, nonhomologous DNA end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Prior work has identified a complex of two polypeptides, PSF and p54(nrb), as a stimulatory factor in a reconstituted in vitro NHEJ system. PSF also stimulates early steps of HR in vitro. PSF and p54(nrb) are RNA recognition motif-containing proteins with well-established functions in RNA processing and transport, and their apparent involvement in DSB repair was unexpected. Here we investigate the requirement for p54(nrb) in DSB repair in vivo. Cells treated with siRNA to attenuate p54(nrb) expression exhibited a delay in DSB repair in a gamma-H2AX focus assay. Stable knockdown cell lines derived by p54(nrb) miRNA transfection showed a significant increase in ionizing radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations. They also showed increased radiosensitivity in a clonogenic survival assay. Together, results indicate that p54(nrb) contributes to rapid and accurate repair of DSBs in vivo in human cells and that the PSF.p54(nrb) complex may thus be a potential target for radiosensitizer development.
