PNKP is thus involved in multiple DNA repair pathways, including base excision (BER), single-strand break (SSBR), and double-strand break repair (DSBR). However, little is known as to how PNKP functions in such diverse repair processes, which involve distinct sets of proteins. In this study, we report that PNKP is acetylated at two lysine (K142 and K226) residues. While K142 (AcK142) is constitutively acetylated by p300, CBP acetylates K226 (AcK226) only after DSB induction. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis using antibodies specific for PNKP peptides containing AcK142 or AcK226 of PNKP showed that AcK142-PNKP associates only with BER\/SSBR, and AcK226 PNKP only with DSBR proteins. Although acetylation at these residues did not significantly affect the enzymatic activity of PNKP\n                  <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                  , cells expressing non-acetylable PNKP (K142R or K226R) accumulated DNA damage, specifically in transcribed genes. Intriguingly, in striatal neuronal cells of a Huntington\u2019s Disease (HD)-based mouse model, K142, but not K226, was acetylated. This observation is consistent with the reported degradation of CBP but not p300 in HD cells. Moreover, genomes of HD cells progressively accumulated DSBs specifically in the transcribed genes. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation analysis using anti-AcK142 or anti-AcK226 antibodies demonstrated an association of Ac-PNKP with the transcribed genes, consistent with PNKP\u2019s role in transcription-coupled repair. Thus, our findings collectively demonstrate that acetylation at two lysine residues located in different domains of PNKP regulates its functionally distinct role in BER\/SSBR vs. DSBR.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2023.06.21.545973","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,24]],"date-time":"2023-06-24T08:06:55Z","timestamp":1687594015000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Site-specific acetylation of polynucleotide kinase 3\u2019-phosphatase (PNKP) regulates its distinct role in DNA repair pathways"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Azharul","family":"Islam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anirban","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Altaf H","family":"Sarker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4543-1536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uma K","family":"Aryal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gulshan","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Istvan","family":"Boldogh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tapas","family":"Hazra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrc3399"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/gad.301325.117"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/bi301240y"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/em.22087"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.274.34.24176"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.274.34.24187"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pgen.1004749"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/0008-5472.CAN-09-1805"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M109.055764"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M109383200"},{"key":"2023082110000447000_2023.06.21.545973v2.11","first-page":"1439","article-title":"NEIL2-initiated","volume":"5","year":"2006","journal-title":"APE-independent repair of oxidized bases in DNA: Evidence for a repair complex in human cells.
