Rac1 and CHK1 Converge on Abi-1 to Regulate DNA Repair Dependency and Treatment Response in Human Cancers

Radiation therapy (RT) resistance remains a major clinical challenge, yet biomarkers guiding precision radiosensitization are lacking. We previously demonstrated that Rac1 promotes RT resistance in glioblastoma (GBM) by inducing Abi-1-S323 dephosphorylation and enhancing non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Here, we identify Abi-1-S323 as a key regulator of DNA repair states and a determinant of…
