SET8 localization to chromatin flanking DNA damage is dependent on RNF168 ubiquitin ligase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The DNA damage response (DDR) associated post-translational modifications recruit chromatin remodelers, signaling proteins such as 53BP1 and repair factors to chromatin flanking DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) to promote its repair. Although localization of both RNF168 ubiquitin ligase and SET8 methyltransferase at DSBs is essential for 53BP1’s recruitment to DSBs, it is unclear if they do so via the same pathways. Here we report that RNF168 mediates SET8’s recruitment to DSBs. Depletion of cellular pool of ubiquitin through proteasome inhibition abolished RNF168 and SET8’s localization to DNA damage. Knockdown of RNF8 or RNF168 abolished SET8’s recruitment to DNA damage. Moreover, RNF168 and SET8 form stable complexes in vivo . Based on these results we propose a model in which SET8, which despite being a pan-chromatin binding protein, can accumulate several folds at chromatin flanking DSBs through tethering to other proteins that specifically localize to chromatin regions with specific modifications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
