aThe faithful repair of DNA damage, especially chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs), is crucial for genomic integrity. We have previously shown that securin interacts with the Ku70/80 heterodimer of the DSB non-homologous DNA end-joining (NHEJ) repair machinery. Here we demonstrate that securin deficiency compromises cell survival and proliferation, but only after genotoxic stress. Securin(-/-) cells show a significant increase in gross chromosomal rearrangements and chromatid breaks after DNA damage, and also reveal an altered pattern of end resection in an NHEJ assay in comparison with securin(+/+) cells. These data suggest that securin has a key role in the maintenance of genomic stability after DNA damage, thereby providing a previously unknown mechanism for regulating tumour progression.
