Eukaryotic genomes are packaged into highly condensed chromatin and this repressive chromatin barrier can be overcome by altering the chromatin structure via histone modification enzymes. Here, we reportWdr70inSchizosaccharomyces pombe(spWdr70) plays important roles in multiple cellular processes including cell cycle progression, chromatin structure and DNA repair. Depletion ofWdr70gene causes cell cycle delay, hypersensitivity to DNA damage reagents and quick phenotypic changes. Moreover, we observed strong genetic interaction betweenWdr70and genes regulating checkpoint and homologous recombination (HR), pinpointing the function ofWdr70to DNA end resection. Finally, we show that the function ofWdr70could be attributed to monoubiquitination of histone H2B (uH2B) in the vicinity of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Taken together, our data reveal that Wdr70 and H2B monoubiquitination-dependent chromatin modulation is required for chromatin homeostasis and genetic stability.
