Replication protein A (RPA) is a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein involved in various processes, including nucleotide excision repair and DNA replication. The 32 kDa subunit of RPA (RPA32) is phosphorylated in response to various DNA-damaging agents, and two protein kinases, ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) have been implicated in DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of RPA32. However, the relative roles of ATM and DNA-PK in the site-specific DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of RPA32 have not been reported. Here we generated a phosphospecific antibody that recognizes Thr21-phosphorylated RPA32. We show that both DNA-PK and ATM phosphorylate RPA32 on Thr21 in vitro. Ionizing radiation (IR)-induced phosphorylation of RPA32 on Thr21 was defective in ATM-deficient cells, while camptothecin (CPT)-induced phosphorylation of RPA32 on Thr21 was defective in cells lacking functional DNA-PK. Neither ATM nor DNA-PK was required for etoposide (ETOP)-induced RPA32 Thr21 phosphorylation. However, two inhibitors of the ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) protein kinase activity prevented ETOP-induced Thr21 phosphorylation. Inhibition of DNA replication prevented both the IR- and CPT-induced phosphorylation of Thr21, whereas ETOP-induced Thr21 phosphorylation did not require active DNA replication. Thus, the regulation of RPA32 Thr21 phosphorylation by multiple DNA damage response protein kinases suggests that Thr21 phosphorylation of RPA32 is a crucial step within the DNA damage response.
