In this issue of Molecular Cell, Sivanand et al. (2017) describe the importance for nuclear ACLY-mediated production of acetyl-CoA, which promotes histone acetylation, BRCA1 recruitment, and subsequent HR-mediated DNA repair in response to DNA damage, thus drawing a direct link between DNA repair and cellular metabolism.
