Maintenance of genome integrity is critical for both faithful propagation of genetic information and prevention of mutagenesis induced by various DNA damage events. Here we report cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) as a newly identified key regulator in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. On DNA damage, CIRBP temporarily accumulates at the damaged regions and is poly(ADP ribosyl)ated by poly(ADP ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Its dissociation from the sites of damage may depend on its phosphorylation status as mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases. In the absence of CIRBP, cells showed reduced γH2AX, Rad51, and 53BP1 foci formation. Moreover, CIRBP-depleted cells exhibited impaired homologous recombination, impaired nonhomologous end-joining, increased micronuclei formation, and higher sensitivity to gamma irradiation, demonstrating the active involvement of CIRBP in DSB repair. Furthermore, CIRBP depleted cells exhibited defects in DNA damage-induced chromatin association of the MRN complex (Mre11, Rad50, and NBS1) and ATM kinase. CIRBP depletion also reduced phosphorylation of a variety of ATM substrate proteins and thus impaired the DNA damage response. Taken together, these results reveal a previously unrecognized role for CIRBP in DSB repair.

ABSTRACT Translation of picornavirus plus-strand RNA genomes occurs via internal ribosomal entry at highly structured 5′ untranslated regions. In addition to canonical translation factors, translation rate is likely influenced by supplementary host and viral trans-acting factors. We previously reported that insertion of a heterologous human rhinovirus type 2 internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) into the poliovirus (PV) genome, generating the chimeric virus PV-RIPO, selectively abrogates viral translation and propagation in neurons, which eliminate poliovirus's signature neuropathogenicity. While severely deficient in cells of neuronal lineage, the rhinovirus IRES promotes efficient propagation of PV-RIPO in cancer cells. Tumor-specific IRES function can be therapeutically exploited to direct viral cytotoxicity to cancer cells. Neuron-glioma heterokaryon analysis implicates neuronal trans-dominant inhibition in this effect, suggesting that host trans-acting factors repress IRES function in a cell-type-specific manner. We identified a set of proteins from neuronal cells with affinity for the rhinovirus IRES, including double-stranded RNA-binding protein 76 (DRBP76). DRBP76 associates with the IRES in neuronal but not in malignant glioma cells. Moreover, DRBP76 depletion in neuronal cells enhances rhinovirus IRES-driven translation and virus propagation. Our observations suggest that cell-type-specific association of DRBP76 with the rhinovirus IRES represses PV-RIPO translation and propagation in neuronal cells.

Twenty years ago, the first description of a tristetraprolin (TTP) knockout mouse highlighted the fundamental role of TTP in the restraint of inflammation. Since then, work from several groups has generated a detailed picture of the expression and function of TTP. It is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that orchestrates the deadenylation and degradation of several mRNAs encoding inflammatory mediators. It is very extensively post-translationally modified, with more than 30 phosphorylations that are supported by at least two independent lines of evidence. The phosphorylation of two particular residues, serines 52 and 178 of mouse TTP (serines 60 and 186 of the human orthologue), has profound effects on the expression, function and localisation of TTP. Here, we discuss the control of TTP biology via its phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, with a particular focus on recent advances and on questions that remain unanswered.
