Abstract: Abstract Mechanisms of functional cross-talk between global transcriptional repression and efficient DNA damage repair during genotoxic stress are poorly known. In this study, using human AF9 as representative of Super Elongation Complex (SEC) components, we delineate detailed mechanisms of these processes. Mechanistically, we describe that Poly-Serine domain-mediated oligomerization is pre-requisite for AF9 YEATS domain-mediated TFIID interaction-dependent SEC recruitment at the promoter-proximal region for release of paused RNA polymerase II. Interestingly, during genotoxic stress, CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation-dependent nuclear export of AF9-specific deacetylase HDAC5 enhances concomitant PCAF-mediated acetylation of K339 residue. This causes monomerization of AF9 and reduces TFIID interaction for transcriptional downregulation. Furthermore, the K339 acetylation-dependent enhanced AF9-DNA-PKc interaction leads to phosphorylation at S395 residue which reduces AF9-SEC interaction resulting in transcriptional downregulation and efficient repair of DNA damage. After repair, nuclear re-entry of HDAC5 reduces AF9 acetylation and restores its TFIID and SEC interaction to restart transcription.
