Transcription and DNA damage repair act in a coordinated manner. The scaffolding protein Sin3B serves as a transcriptional corepressor of hundreds of cell-cycle-related genes. However, the role of Sin3B during the DNA damage response still remains unknown. Here, we show that Sin3B depletion delays the resolution of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and sensitizes cells to diverse DNA-damaging agents, including cisplatin and doxorubicin. Furthermore, Sin3B is rapidly recruited to DNA damage sites and interacts with other DDR proteins. Mechanistically, Sin3B promotes non-homologous end joining DNA repair by directing the accumulation of MDC1 at DBSs. Altogether, our findings impute an unexpected function for the transcriptional co-repressor Sin3B as a gatekeeper of genomic integrity, and point to the inhibition of the Sin3B chromatin modifying complex as a novel therapeutic vulnerability in cancer cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
