    Abstract In the cell nucleus, DNA damage signaling and repair machineries operate on a chromatin substrate, the integrity of which is critical for cell function and viability. Here, we review recent advances in deciphering the tight coordination between chromatin maintenance and the DNA damage response (DDR). We discuss how the DDR impacts chromatin marks, organization and mobility, and, in turn, how chromatin alterations actively contribute to the DDR, providing additional levels of regulation. We present our current knowledge of the molecular bases of these critical processes in physiological and pathological conditions, and also highlight open questions that emerge in this expanding field.

    Abstract In response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), chromatin modifications orchestrate DNA repair pathways thus safeguarding genome integrity. Recent studies have uncovered a key role for heterochromatin marks and associated factors in shaping DSB repair within the nucleus. In this review, we present our current knowledge of the interplay between heterochromatin marks and DSB repair. We discuss the impact of heterochromatin features, either pre-existing in heterochromatin domains or

    Abstract The eukaryotic genome is assembled in a nucleoprotein complex called chromatin, whose organization markedly influences the repair of DNA lesions. For instance, compact chromatin states, broadly categorized as heterochromatin, present a challenging environment for DNA damage repair. Through transcriptional silencing, heterochromatin also plays a vital role in the maintenance of genomic integrity and cellular homeostasis. It is thus of critical importance to decipher whether and how heterochromatin affects the DNA damage response (DDR) to understand how this chromatin state is preserved after DNA damage. Here, we present two laser micro-irradiation-based methods for imaging the DDR in heterochromatin domains in mammalian cells. These methods allow DNA damage targeting to specific subnuclear compartments, direct visualization of the DDR and image-based quantification of the repair response. We apply them to study DNA double-strand break repair pathways in facultative heterochromatin and the repair of UV photoproducts in constitutive heterochromatin. We discuss the advantages and limitations of these methods compared to other targeted approaches for DNA damage induction.

    Abstract The faithful segregation of intact genetic material and the perpetuation of chromatin states through mitotic cell divisions are pivotal for maintaining cell function and identity across cell generations. However, most exogenous mutagens generate long-lasting DNA lesions that are segregated during mitosis. How this segregation is controlled is unknown. Here, we uncover a mitotic chromatin-marking pathway that governs the segregation of UV-induced damage in human cells. Our mechanistic analyses reveal two layers of control: histone ADP-ribosylation, and the incorporation of newly synthesized histones at UV damage sites, that both prevent local mitotic phosphorylations on histone H3 serines. Functionally, this chromatin-marking pathway drives the asymmetric segregation of UV damage in the cell progeny with potential consequences on daughter cell fate. We propose that this mechanism may help preserve the integrity of stem cell compartments during asymmetric cell divisions.

    Abstract DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) elicit major chromatin changes. Using super-resolution microscopy in human cells, Ochs et al. unveil that the DSB response protein 53BP1 and its effector RIF1 organize DSB-flanking chromatin into circular micro-domains. These structures control the spatial distribution of DSB repair factors safeguarding genome integrity.

    Abstract DNA damage signaling and repair machineries operate in a nuclear environment where DNA is wrapped around histone proteins and packaged into chromatin. Understanding how chromatin structure is restored together with the DNA sequence during DNA damage repair has been a topic of intense research. Indeed, chromatin integrity is central to cell functions and identity. However, chromatin shows remarkable plasticity in response to DNA damage. This review presents our current knowledge of chromatin dynamics in the mammalian cell nucleus in response to DNA double strand breaks and UV lesions. I provide an overview of the key players involved in regulating histone dynamics in damaged chromatin regions, focusing on histone chaperones and their concerted action with histone modifiers, chromatin remodelers and repair factors. I also discuss how these dynamics contribute to reshaping chromatin and, by altering the chromatin landscape, may affect the maintenance of epigenetic information.

    Abstract Eukaryotic genomes are organized into chromatin, divided into structurally and functionally distinct euchromatin and heterochromatin compartments. The high level of compaction and the abundance of repeated sequences in heterochromatin pose multiple challenges for the maintenance of genome stability. Cells have evolved sophisticated and highly controlled mechanisms to overcome these constraints. Here, we summarize recent findings on how the heterochromatic state influences DNA damage formation, signaling, and repair. By focusing on distinct heterochromatin domains in different eukaryotic species, we highlight the heterochromatin contribution to the compartmentalization of DNA damage repair in the cell nucleus and to the repair pathway choice. We also describe the diverse chromatin alterations associated with the DNA damage response in heterochromatin domains and present our current understanding of their regulatory mechanisms. Finally, we discuss the biological significance and the evolutionary conservation of these processes.
