Abstract Ten years ago we reviewed how the cellular DNA damage response (DDR) is controlled by changes in the functional and structural properties of nuclear proteins, resulting in a timely coordinated control of gene expression that allows DNA repair. Expression of genes that play a role in DDR is regulated not only at transcriptional level during mRNA biosynthesis but also by changing steady‐state levels due to turnover of the transcripts. The 3′ end processing machinery, which is important in the regulation of mRNA stability, is involved in these gene‐specific responses to DNA damage. Here, we review the latest mechanistic connections described between 3′ end processing and DDR, with a special emphasis on alternative polyadenylation, microRNA and RNA binding proteins‐mediated deadenylation, and discuss the implications of deregulation of these steps in DDR and human disease.
