Acetylation by Tip60 Is Required for Selective Histone Variant Exchange at DNA Lesions

Thomas Kusch,1* Laurence Florens,1 W. Hayes MacDonald,2 Selene K. Swanson,1 Robert L. Glaser,3 John R. Yates, III,2 Susan M. Abmayr,1 Michael P Washburn,1 Jerry L. Workman1*

Phosphorylation of the human histone variant H2A.X and H2Av, its homolog in Drosophila melanogaster, occurs rapidly at sites of DNA double-strand breaks. Little is known about the function of this phosphorylation or its removal during DNA repair. Here, we demonstrate that the Drosophila Tip60 (dTip60) chromatin-remodeling complex acetylates nucleosomal phospho-H2Av and exchanges it with an unmodified H2Av. Both the histone acetyltransferase dTip60 as well as the adenosine triphosphatase Domino/p400 catalyze the exchange of phospho-H2Av. Thus, these data reveal a previously unknown mechanism for selective histone exchange that uses the concerted action of two distinct chromatin-remodeling enzymes within the same multiprotein complex.
