In response to DNA damage, cells activate a complex signal transduction network called the DNA damage response (DDR). To enhance our current understanding of the DDR network, we performed a genome-wide screen to identify genes required for resistance to ionizing radiation (IR). Along with a number of known DDR genes, we discovered a large set of novel genes whose depletion leads to cellular sensitivity to IR. Here we describe TTI1 (Tel two-interacting protein 1) and TTI2 as highly conserved regulators of the DDR in mammals. TTI1 and TTI2 protect cells from spontaneous DNA damage, and are required for the establishment of the intra-S and G2/M checkpoints. TTI1 and TTI2 exist in multiple complexes, including a 2-MDa complex with TEL2 (telomere maintenance 2), called the Triple T complex, and phosphoinositide-3-kinase-related protein kinases (PIKKs) such as ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM). The components of the TTT complex are mutually dependent on each other, and act as critical regulators of PIKK abundance and checkpoint signaling.
