The establishment of polyubiquitin conjugates with distinct linkages play important roles in the DNA damage response. Much remains unknown about the regulation of linkage-specific ubiquitin signaling at sites of DNA damage. Here we reveal that Cezanne (also known as Otud7B) deubiquitinating enzyme promotes the recruitment of Rap80/BRCA1-A complex by binding to Lys63-polyubiquitin and targeting Lys11-polyubiquitin. Using a ubiquitin binding domain protein array screen, we identify that the UBA domains of Cezanne and Cezanne2 (also known as Otud7A) selectively bind to Lys63-linked polyubiquitin. Increased Lys11-linkage ubiquitination due to lack of Cezanne DUB activity compromises the recruitment of Rap80/BRCA1-A. Cezanne2 interacts with Cezanne, facilitating Cezanne in the recruitment of Rap80/BRCA1-A, Rad18, and 53BP1, in cellular resistance to ionizing radiation and DNA repair. Our work presents a model that Cezanne serves as a “reader” of the Lys63-linkage polyubiquitin at DNA damage sites and an “eraser” of the Lys11-linkage ubiquitination, indicating a crosstalk between linkage-specific ubiquitination at DNA damage sites.

Crosstalk between Lys63- and Lys11-polyubiquitin signaling at DNA damage sites is driven by Cezanne
