Model for JNK-Mediated Activation of DSB Repair
Upon oxidative stress JNK phosphorylates SIRT6 on Serine 10. This results in rapid recruitment of SIRT6 to the DSB site and simultaneously stimulates SIRT6 mono-ADP ribosylation of PARP1. PARP1 mono-ADP ribosylation leads to recruitment of PARP1 to DSB site and activates PARP1 poly-ADP ribosylation activity. This sequence of events represents the initial steps in the assembly of repair machinery on a DSB, and it is required for efficient DSB repair under oxidative stress conditions.
Highlights
• JNK phosphorylates SIRT6 at residue S10 in response to oxidative stress
• SIRT6 S10 phosphorylation is required for the stimulation of DNA break repair
• SIRT6 S10 phosphorylation stimulates SIRT6 mono-ADP ribosylation activity on PARP1
Summary
The accumulation of damage caused by oxidative stress has been linked to aging and to the etiology of numerous age-related diseases. The longevity gene, sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), promotes genome stability by facilitating DNA repair, especially under oxidative stress conditions. Here we uncover the mechanism by which SIRT6 is activated by oxidative stress to promote DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. We show that the stress-activated protein kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), phosphorylates SIRT6 on serine 10 in response to oxidative stress. This post-translational modification facilitates the mobilization of SIRT6 to DNA damage sites and is required for efficient recruitment of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) to DNA break sites and for efficient repair of DSBs. Our results demonstrate a post-translational mechanism regulating SIRT6, and they provide the link between oxidative stress signaling and DNA repair pathways that may be critical for hormetic response and longevity assurance.
