Abstract
Failure of cells to respond to DNA damage is a primary event associated with mutagenesis and environmental toxicity.
To map the transcriptional network controlling the damage response, we measured genome-wide binding locations for 30 damage-related transcription factors (TFs) after exposure of yeast to methyl-methanesulfonate. The resulting 5,272 TF-target interactions revealed extensive changes in the pattern of promoter binding and identified damage-specific binding motifs.
As systematic functional validation, we identified interactions for which the target changed expression in wild-type cells in response to MMS but was non-responsive in cells lacking the TF. Validated interactions were assembled into causal pathway models that provide global hypotheses of how signaling, transcription, and phenotype are integrated after damage.
