DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer arises during the process of carcinogenesis, in which the exposure of cells to genotoxic insults leads to the introduction of permanent genetic changes. The ability of cells to detect this DNA damage and to activate appropriate repair mechanisms is crucial for the cell to suppress carcinogenic events. The Tip60 histone acetyltransferase is a key mediator of the cells ability to detect and repair these DNA lesions. Tip60 is a key component of the NuA4-Tip60 chromatin remodeling complex. Chromatin remodeling is utilized to unpack higher ordered chromatin structures and alter histone-DNA interactions to facilitate access of the DNA repair machinery to DNA lesions. Our results demonstrate that chromatin remodeling by the NuA4-Tip60 complex requires Tip60's HAT activity. Further, Tip60 contains a chromodomain, a conserved domain with the potential to interact with methylated lysine residues on histones, and this domain is required for the activation of Tip60's HAT activity and NuA4-dependent chromatin remodeling. The long term aims are to test the hypothesis that Tip60 is a key component of a novel signal transduction pathway which links the detection of DNA damage to alterations in chromatin structure. We will test the hypothesis that the catalytic components of NuA4, including the p400 ATPase activity and Tip60's HAT activity, are required for chromatin remodeling following DNA damage. Further, we propose that interactions between the chromodomain of Tip60 and exposed methyl-lysine residues on histones at sites of DNA damage mediate this activation of Tip60's HAT activity. Tip60 exists as a trimeric complex containing the Tip60, epc1 and ING3 proteins. In specific aim 1, the role of the ING3 regulatory protein in controlling Tip60's HAT activity will be defined, and the mechanism by which NuA4 is recruited to DNA breaks will be determined. In specific aim 2, the function of the ATPase activity of the p400 sub- unit of NuA4 in chromatin unwinding will be determined, and the contribution of histone acetylation by Tip60 at sites of DNA damage identified. In specific aim 3, the specificity of interaction between the chromodomain of Tip60 and methylated lysine residues on histones will be determined, and the role of histone methylation in the DNA-damage dependent activation of Tip60 examined. An understanding of the signal transduction pathway by which Tip60 detects DNA strand breaks caused by bleomycin and related agents will provide crucial insights into the cytotoxicity and mutagenic properties of these agents. A more complete understanding of how Tip60 regulates the DNA damage response may allow new therapies, including the rational design of novel therapeutic compounds, to be applied to cancer therapy and to clinically beneficial interventions for reducing the risk from genotoxic stress. Finally, Tip60 and its associated proteins are potential targets for developing therapeutic agents which can modify the DNA damage response of tumor cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症发生在致癌过程中，其中细胞暴露于遗传毒性损伤导致永久性遗传变化的引入。细胞检测这种DNA损伤并激活适当的修复机制的能力对于细胞抑制致癌事件至关重要。Tip 60组蛋白乙酰转移酶是细胞检测和修复这些DNA损伤能力的关键介质。Tip 60是NuA 4-Tip 60染色质重塑复合物的关键组分。染色质重塑被用来解开更高层次的染色质结构，并改变组蛋白-DNA相互作用，以促进DNA修复机制进入DNA损伤。我们的研究结果表明，染色质重塑NuA 4-Tip 60复合物需要Tip 60的HAT活性。此外，Tip 60含有一个chromodomain，一个保守的结构域，具有与组蛋白上的甲基化赖氨酸残基相互作用的潜力，并且该结构域是激活Tip 60的HAT活性和NuA 4依赖性染色质重塑所必需的。长期目标是检验Tip 60是一种新型信号转导途径的关键组分的假设，该途径将DNA损伤的检测与染色质结构的改变联系起来。我们将检验NuA 4的催化组分，包括p400 ATP酶活性和Tip 60的HAT活性，是DNA损伤后染色质重塑所需的假设。此外，我们建议，Tip 60和暴露的甲基赖氨酸残基的组蛋白在DNA损伤的网站之间的相互作用介导Tip 60的HAT活性的激活。Tip 60以含有Tip 60、epc 1和ING 3蛋白的三聚体复合物形式存在。在具体目标1中，将定义ING 3调节蛋白在控制Tip 60的HAT活性中的作用，并将确定NuA 4被募集到DNA断裂的机制。在具体目标2中，将确定NuA 4的p400亚基的ATP酶活性在染色质解旋中的功能，并鉴定Tip 60在DNA损伤位点处的组蛋白乙酰化的贡献。在具体目标3中，将确定Tip 60的染色体结构域与组蛋白上的甲基化赖氨酸残基之间的相互作用的特异性，并检查组蛋白甲基化在Tip 60的DNA损伤依赖性活化中的作用。了解Tip 60检测博莱霉素和相关药物引起的DNA链断裂的信号转导途径，将为这些药物的细胞毒性和致突变性提供重要的见解。更全面地了解Tip 60如何调节DNA损伤反应，可能会允许新的治疗方法，包括合理设计新型治疗化合物，应用于癌症治疗和临床有益的干预措施，以降低遗传毒性应激的风险。最后，Tip 60及其相关蛋白是开发治疗剂的潜在靶点，这些治疗剂可以改变肿瘤细胞的DNA损伤反应。
