p130RB2 positively contributes to ATR activation in response to replication stress via the RPA32-ETAA1 axis

説明

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase is a crucial regulator of the cell cycle checkpoint and activated in response to DNA replication stress by two independent pathways via RPA32-ETAA1 and TopBP1. However, the precise activation mechanism of ATR by the RPA32-ETAA1 pathway remains unclear. Here, we show that p130RB2, a member of the retinoblastoma protein family, participates in the pathway under hydroxyurea-induced DNA replication stress. p130RB2 binds to ETAA1, but not TopBP1, and depletion of p130RB2 inhibits the RPA32-ETAA1 interaction under replication stress. Moreover, p130RB2 depletion reduces ATR activation accompanied by phosphorylation of its targets RPA32, Chk1, and ATR itself. It also causes improper re-progression of S phase with retaining single-stranded DNA after cancelation of the stress, which leads to an increase in the anaphase bridge phenotype and a decrease in cell survival. Importantly, restoration of p130RB2 rescued the disrupted phenotypes of p130RB2 knockdown cells. These results suggest positive involvement of p130RB2 in the RPA32-ETAA1-ATR axis and proper re-progression of the cell cycle to maintain genome integrity.
