Adenovirus (Ad) early region 4 (E4) mutants activate cellular DNA damage responses (DDRs) that include non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways mediated by the DNA repair kinase DNA-PK and its associated factors Ku70/Ku86. NHEJ results in concatenation of the viral linear double-stranded DNA genome and inhibits a productive infection. E4 proteins normally prevent activation of cellular DDRs in wild-type Ad type 5 (Ad5) infections, thereby promoting efficient viral growth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors that govern DNA-PK activation during adenovirus infection. Our data indicate that viral DNA replication promotes DNA-PK activation, which is required for genome concatenation by NHEJ. Although the Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 (MRN) DDR sensor complex is not required for DNA-PK activation, Mre11 is important for recruitment of the NHEJ factor Ku86 to viral replication centers. Our study addresses the interplay between the DNA-PK and MRN complexes during viral genome concatenation by NHEJ.
