NuA4 and SAGA acetyltransferase complexes cooperate for repair of DNA breaks by homologous recombination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Chromatin modifying complexes play important yet not fully defined roles in DNA repair processes. The essential NuA4 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex is recruited to double-strand break (DSB) sites and spreads along with DNA end resection. As predicted, NuA4 acetylates surrounding nucleosomes upon DSB induction and defects in its activity correlate with altered DNA end resection and Rad51 recombinase recruitment. Importantly, we show that NuA4 is also recruited to the donor sequence during recombination along with increased H4 acetylation, indicating a direct role during strand invasion/D-loop formation after resection. We found that NuA4 cooperates locally with another HAT, the SAGA complex, during DSB repair as their combined action is essential for DNA end resection to occur. This cooperation of NuA4 and SAGA is required for recruitment of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers, targeted acetylation of repair factors and homologous recombination. Our work reveals a multifaceted and conserved cooperation mechanism between acetyltransferase complexes to allow repair of DNA breaks by homologous recombination. Key Points -NuA4-dependent acetylation modulates nucleosome dynamics to assist DNA end resection and strand invasion during homologous recombination. -Combined recruitment and local action of NuA4 and SAGA acetyltransferase complexes is essential for DNA end resection. -Cooperation between NuA4 and SAGA acetyltransferases is required for homologous recombination in eukaryotes.

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.
