RNA processing proteins regulate Mec1/ATR activation by promoting generation of RPA-coated ssDNA.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic cells respond to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by activating a checkpoint that depends on the protein kinases Tel1/ATM and Mec1/ATR. Mec1/ATR is activated by RPA-coated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), which arises upon nucleolytic degradation (resection) of the DSB. Emerging evidences indicate that RNA processing factors play critical, yet poorly understood, roles in genomic stability. Here, we provide evidence that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA decay factors Xrn1, Rrp6 and Trf4 regulate Mec1/ATR activation by promoting generation of RPA-coated ssDNA. The lack of Xrn1 inhibits ssDNA generation at the DSB by preventing the loading of the MRX complex. By contrast, DSB resection is not affected in the absence of Rrp6 or Trf4, but their lack impairs the recruitment of RPA, and therefore of Mec1, to the DSB. Rrp6 and Trf4 inactivation affects neither Rad51/Rad52 association nor DSB repair by HR, suggesting that full Mec1 activation requires higher amount of RPA-coated ssDNA than HR-mediated repair. Noteworthy, deep transcriptome analyses do not identify common misregulated gene expression that could explain the observed phenotypes. Our results provide a novel link between RNA processing and genome stability. Strand-specific transcriptome analysis of biological replicates of WT cells (JKM139 strain) at T0, or 60 and 240 minutes after HO induction, and of xrn1∆, rrp6∆ and trf4∆ cells at T0.

Dna2 removes toxic RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis

Project description:During the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), de novo synthesized DNA strand can displace the parental strand to generate single-strand DNA (ssDNA) flaps. Many programmed DSBs and thus many ssDNA flaps occur during meiosis. However, how these flaps are removed remains enigmatic. Here, we show that meiosis-specific depletion of Dna2 (dna2-md) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes an abundant accumulation of RPA-ssDNA flaps and an expansion of RPA from DSBs to broader regions. As a result, DSB repair is defective and spores are inviable, although the levels of crossovers/non-crossovers seem to be unaffected. Furthermore, inducing Dna2 expression at pachytene is highly effective in removing accumulated RPA and restoring spore viability. Moreover, the depletion of Pif1, an activator of polymerase δ required for meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis, and Pif1 inhibitor Mlh2 decreased and increased RPA accumulation in dna2-md, respectively. Together, our findings show that meiotic DSB repair requires Dna2 to remove RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis. Additionally, we showed that Dna2 also regulates DSB-independent RPA distribution.

Strand-specific ChIP-seq at DNA breaks distinguishes single versus doubled stranded DNA binding and refutes single stranded nucleosomes

Project description:In a first step of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination, DNA ends are resected such that single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhangs are generated. ssDNA is specifically bound by RPA and other factors, which constitutes a ssDNA-compartment on damaged chromatin. The molecular organization of this ssDNA- as well as the adjacent dsDNA-compartment is crucial during DSB signaling and repair. However, data regarding the association of the most basic chromatin components – the nucleosomes – have been discrepant. Here, we use site-specific induction of DSBs and chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by strand-specific sequencing to analyse in vivo binding of key DSB repair and signalling proteins to either the ssDNA- or dsDNA-compartment. In case of nucleosomes, we show that recently proposed ssDNA-nucleosomes are not a major, persistent species, but that nucleosomes eviction and DNA end resection are intrinsically coupled. These results support a model of separated dsDNA-nucleosome- and ssDNA-RPA-compartments during DSB signaling and repair.

Phase separation properties of RPA combine high-affinity ssDNA binding with dynamic condensate functions at telomeres

Project description:RPA has been shown to protect single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediates from instability and breakage. RPA binds ssDNA with sub-nanomolar affinity, yet dynamic turnover is required for downstream ssDNA transactions. How ultrahigh-affinity binding and dynamic turnover are achieved simultaneously is not well understood. Here we reveal that RPA has a strong propensity to assemble into dynamic condensates. In solution, purified RPA phase separates into liquid droplets with fusion and surface wetting behavior. Phase separation is stimulated by sub-stoichiometric amounts of ssDNA, but not RNA or double-stranded DNA, and ssDNA gets selectively enriched in RPA condensates. We find the RPA2 subunit required for condensation and multi-site phosphorylation of the RPA2 N-terminal intrinsically disordered region to regulate RPA self-interaction. Functionally, quantitative proximity proteomics links RPA condensation to telomere clustering and integrity in cancer cells. Collectively, our results suggest that RPA-coated ssDNA is contained in dynamic RPA condensates whose properties are important for genome organization and stability.

RPA promotes processive ssDNA digestion by Dna2 via their bimodal interaction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) widely exists as intermediates in DNA metabolic pathways. The ssDNA binding protein, RPA, not only protects the integrity of ssDNA, but also directs the downstream factor that signals or repairs the ssDNA intermediate. However, it remains unclear how these enzymes/factors out-compete RPA and access to ssDNA. Using the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model system, we discovered that Dna2, a key nuclease in DNA replication and repair, employs a bimodal interface to act with RPA both in cis and in trans. The cis-action renders RPA a processive unit for Dna2-catalyzed ssDNA digestion, where RPA actively delivers its bound ssDNA to Dna2. The trans-action mediated by an acidic patch from Dna2, on the other hand, enables Dna2 to operatie with a sub-optimal amount of RPA or to overcome DNA secondary structures. Genetically, this trans-action mode is not required for cell viability, but indispensable for successful DSB repair.

IDN2 Interacts with RPA and Facilitates DNA Double-Strand Break Repair by Homologous Recombination in Arabidopsis

Project description:Repair of DNA double-strand break (DSB) is critical for the maintenance of genome integrity. We have previously shown that a class of DSB-induced small RNAs (diRNAs) facilitates homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DSB repair in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we show that INVOLVED IN DE NOVO 2 (IDN2), a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein involved in small RNA-directed DNA methylation, is required for DSB repair in Arabidopsis. We find that IDN2 interacts with the heterotrimeric replication protein A (RPA) complex. Depletion of IDN2 or the diRNA-binding ARGONAUTE 2 (AGO2) leads to increased accumulation of RPA at DSB sites and mislocalization of the recombination factor RAD51. These findings support a model in which IDN2 interacts with RPA and facilitates the release of RPA from ssDNA tails and subsequent recruitment of RAD51 at DSB sites to promote DSB repair.

Phosphoproteomic Datasets for Mec1/ATR Signaling Upon Hyper-Resection (TMT Supplement)

Project description:The Mec1/ATR kinase is crucial for genome maintenance, although the mechanisms by which it controls DNA repair pathways remain elusive. Here we uncovered a role for Mec1/ATR in controlling homologous recombination (HR) factors in response to hyper-resection of DNA ends. Cells lacking RAD9, a checkpoint activator and an inhibitor of resection, exhibit Mec1-dependent hyper-phosphorylation of proteins associated with single strand DNA transactions, including the ssDNA binding protein Rfa2, the translocase/ubiquitin ligase Uls1 and the HR-regulatory Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 (STR) complex. Extensive Mec1-dependent phosphorylation of the STR complex, mostly on the Sgs1 helicase subunit, promotes an interaction between STR and the DNA repair scaffolding protein Dpb11.

Activation of the ATR kinase by the RPA-binding protein ETAA1

Project description:The ATR kinase is a master regulator of cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress that is activated by a complex mechanism involving its binding partner ATRIP, RPA-coated ssDNA, the 9-1-1 complex and TopBP1. Here, we discovered a new ATR activation mechanism in human cells, mediated by the uncharacterized protein ETAA1 (Ewing’s tumor-associated antigen 1). From a comprehensive proteomic survey of protein recruitment to DNA double-strand break-modified chromatin, we identified ETAA1 as a factor that accumulates at DNA damage sites via an RPA-binding motif, and which has an important role in promoting cell survival and preventing replication fork breakage after genotoxic insults. Mechanistically, we show that ETAA1 harbors a conserved domain that potently and directly stimulates ATR kinase activity independent of TopBP1 and 9-1-1, and which is essential for the function of ETAA1 in the DNA damage response. Consistently, ablation of ETAA1 shows profound synthetic lethality with TopBP1 knockdown, resulting from massive replication fork collapse and abrogation of ATR-dependent signaling. Finally, we show that ETAA1 levels in cancer cell lines inversely correlate with their dependency on TopBP1 for ATR activation, and that overexpression of ETAA1 partially restores ATR-dependent signaling after loss of TopBP1. Together, these findings establish a new mechanism of ATR activation in human cells that operates in parallel with, but independent of, the canonical TopBP1-mediated pathway.
