    We recently reported that a large proportion of aggressive squamous cell carcinomas of humans and mice express markedly reduced IKKalpha. However, the role of IKKalpha in maintaining genomic stability is unknown. Here we reported that IKKalpha-deficient keratinocytes had a defect in the G(2)/M cell-cycle arrest in response to DNA damage due to downregulated 14-3-3sigma, a cell cycle checkpoint protein. Trimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3-K9) was found to associate with the histone trimethyltransferase Suv39h1 and DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a in the methylated 14-3-3sigma locus. Reintroduction of IKKalpha restored the expression of 14-3-3sigma. IKKalpha was found to associate with H3 in 14-3-3sigma, which prevented access of Suv39h1 to H3, thereby preventing hypermethylation of 14-3-3sigma. IKKalpha mutants that failed to bind to H3 did not restore the expression of 14-3-3sigma. Thus, IKKalpha protects the 14-3-3sigma locus from hypermethylation, which serves as a mechanism of maintaining genomic stability in keratinocytes.
