Abstract:

After DNA damage, the cell cycle is arrested to avoid
propagation of mutations. Arrest in G2 phase is initiated by
ATM-/ATR-dependent signaling that inhibits mitosis-promoting
kinases such as Plk1. At the same time, Plk1 can counteract
ATR-dependent signaling and is required for eventual resumption
of the cell cycle. However, what determines when Plk1 activity
can resume remains unclear. Here, we use FRET-based reporters
to show that a global spread of ATM activity on chromatin and
phosphorylation of ATM targets including KAP1 control Plk1
re-activation. These phosphorylations are rapidly counteracted
by the chromatin-bound phosphatase Wip1, allowing cell cycle
restart despite persistent ATM activity present at DNA lesions.
Combining experimental data and mathematical modeling, we
propose a model for how the minimal duration of cell cycle
arrest is controlled. Our model shows how cell cycle restart
can occur before completion of DNA repair and suggests a
mechanism for checkpoint adaptation in human cells.
