PDHE1α in DNA damage repair: a critical chromatin acetylation regulator

Abstract

A recent study in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology reveals that chromatin-associated PDHE1α generates acetyl-CoA near DNA double-strand breaks, crucial for chromatin remodeling and DNA repair. PDHE1α recruitment depends on PARP1 and impacts genome stability and cancer therapy resistance. This research sheds light on DNA damage response and chromatin acetylation regulation.
