The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through homologous recombination (HR) is vital for maintaining the stability and integrity of the genome. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) intricately regulate the DNA damage repair process, yet the precise molecular mechanisms underlying their function remain incompletely understood. In this study, we highlight the pivotal role of RPS15, a representative RBP, in homologous recombination repair. Specifically, we demonstrate that RPS15 promotes DNA end resection, a crucial step in homologous recombination. Notably, we identify an interaction between RPS15 and CtIP, a key factor in homologous recombination repair. This interaction is essential for CtIP recruitment to DSB sites, subsequent RPA coating, and RAD51 replacement, all critical steps in efficient homologous recombination repair and conferring resistance to genotoxic treatments. Functionally, suppressing RPS15 expression sensitizes cancer cells to X-ray radiation and enhances the therapeutic synergistic effect of PARP1 inhibitors in breast cancer cells. In summary, our findings reveal that RPS15 promotes DNA end resection to ensure effective homologous recombination repair, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.
