Abstract

Filamin-A (filamin-1) is an actin-binding protein involved in the organization of actin networks. Our previous study shows that filamin-A interacts with BRCA2, and lack of filamin-A expression results in increased cellular sensitivity to several DNA damaging agents in melanoma cells (Yuan, Y., and Shen, Z. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 48318-48324), suggesting a role of filamin-A in DNA damage response. In this report, we demonstrated that deficiency of filamin-A results in an 8-h delay in the recovery from G sub(2) arrest in response to ionizing radiation. However, filamin-A deficiency does not affect the initial activation of the G sub(2)/M checkpoint. We also found that filamin-A deficiency results in sustained activation of Chk1 and Chk2 after irradiation. This in turn causes a delay in the dephosphorylation of phospho- Cdc2, which is inhibitory to the G sub(2)/M transition. In addition, filamin-A- deficient M2 cells undergo mitotic catastrophe-related nuclear fragmentation after they are released from the G sub(2) arrest. Together, these data suggest a functional role of filamin-A in the recovery from G sub(2) arrest and subsequent mitotic cell death after DNA damage.
