Yu S, et al. (2009) ABF1-binding Sites Promote Efficient Global Genome Nucleotide Excision Repair. J Biol Chem 284(2):966-73
Abstract: Global genome repair (GG-NER) removes DNA damage from non-transcribing DNA. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the RAD7 and RAD16 genes are specifically required for GG-NER. We reported that autonomously replicating sequence-binding factor 1 (ABF1) protein forms a stable complex with Rad7 and Rad16 proteins. ABF1 functions in transcription, replication, gene silencing and NER in yeast. We show that binding of ABF1 to its DNA recognition sequence found at multiple genomic locations promotes efficient GG-NER in yeast. Mutation of the I silencer ABF1 binding site at the HMLa locus causes loss of ABF1 binding, which results in a domain of reduced GG-NER efficiency on one side of the ABF1 binding site. During GG-NER, nucleosome positioning at this site is not altered, and this correlates with an inability of the GG-NER complex to reposition nucleosomes in vitro. We discuss how the GG-NER complex might facilitate GG-NER, whilst preventing unregulated gene transcription during this process.
