Di-and tri-methylation of histone H3K36 play distinct roles in DNA double-strand break repair

Histone H3 Lys36(H3K36)methylation and its associated modifiers are crucial for DNA double-strand break(DSB)repair,but the me-chanism governing whether and how different H3K36 methylation forms impact repair pathways is unclear.Here,we unveil the distinct roles of H3K36 dimethylation(H3K36me2)and H3K36 trimethylation(H3K36me3)in DSB repair via non-homologous end joining(NHEJ)or homologous recombination(HR).Yeast cells lacking H3K36me2 or H3K36me3 exhibit reduced NHEJ or HR efficiency.yKu70 and Rfa1 bind H3K36me2-or H3K36me3-modified peptides and chromatin,respectively.Disrupting these interactions impairs yKu70 and Rfa1 recruit-ment to damaged H3K36me2-or H3K36me3-rich loci,increasing DNA damage sensitivity and decreasing repair efficiency.Conversely,H3K36me2-enriched intergenic regions and H3K36me3-enriched gene bodies independently recruit yKu70 or Rfa1 under DSB stress.Importantly,human KU70 and RPA1,the homologs of yKu70 and Rfa1,exclusively associate with H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 in a con-served manner.These findings provide valuable insights into how H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 regulate distinct DSB repair pathways,highlighting H3K36 methylation as a critical element in the choice of DSB repair pathway.
