Project description:Control and CDYL1-depleted U2OS-DIvA cells were treated with 4-hydroxy tamoxifen (4OHT) to induce multiple DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at defined loci in the genome via AsiSI restriction enzyme. This system was used to map the changes in lysine crotonylation (Kcr) and ENL at DSB sites in control and CDYL1-deficient cells.

Project description:Neuronal activity causes the rapid expression of immediate early genes that are crucial for experience driven changes to synapses, learning, and memory. Here, using both molecular and genome-wide next generation sequencing methods, we report that neuronal activity stimulation triggers the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in the promoters of a subset of early-response genes, including Fos, Npas4, and Egr1. Generation of targeted DNA DSBs within Fos and Npas4 promoters is sufficient to induce their expression even in the absence of an external stimulus. Activity-dependent DSB formation is likely mediated by the type II topoisomerase, Topoisomerase IIb (Topo IIb), and knockdown of Topo IIb attenuates both DSB formation and early response gene expression following neuronal stimulation. Our results suggest that DSB formation is a physiological event that rapidly resolves topological constraints to early-response gene expression in neurons.

Project description:Translocations, that occur when two DNA Double Strand breaks (DSBs) are abnormally rejoined, represent highly deleterious genome rearrangements favoring cancer apparition and progression. However, the mechanisms that drive their formation are yet poorly deciphered. One prerequisite for translocation is the juxtaposition of two distant DSBs, an event that would be favored if DSB cluster, i.e. are brought together in close spatial proximity within the nucleus. Whether DSB cluster in higher eukaryotes has been subjected to a strong controversy over the past decade, due to conflicting results obtained using microscopy based methods1-9. Here we used for the first time a high throughput chromosome conformation capture assay (Capture Hi-C10) to investigate DSB clustering. We unambiguously found that DSBs do cluster in human nuclei but only when induced in transcriptionally active genes. Clustering of damaged genes mainly occur during the G1 cell cycle phase and coincide with delayed repair. Moreover DSB clustering depends on the MRN complex, as well as the Formin 2 (FMN2) nuclear actin organizer and the LINC (LInker of Nuclear and Cytoplasmic skeleton) complex, suggesting that active mechanisms promote DSB clustering. This work reveals that when damaged, active genes exhibit a very peculiar behavior compared to the rest of the genome, being mostly left unrepaired and clustered in G1 while being repaired by homologous recombination in post-replicative cells.

Project description:Break-chip (microarray-based double strand break mapping) analysis of mec1 cells recovering from 200 mM hydroxyurea in the presence or absence of 0.8 micromolar bathophenanthroline sulfonate (BPS). We asked if the presence of an iron chelator, BPS, during cell recovery from transient exposure to 200 mM hydroxyurea changes the global patterns of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). We used a yeast checkpoint mutant, mec1, which has been shown to produce DSBs at replication forks after hydroxyurea was removed from the cell culture. We synchronously released cells from the G1/S transition into S phase in the presence of 200 mM hydroxyurea. After 1h treatment, the drug was removed and cells were allowed to recover in fresh medium for 1h in the presence or absence of 0.8 micromolar BPS. Recover (R) samples, R-1h-BPS and R-1h+BPS, as well as the G1 control samples were collected. Break-chip analysis was performed as previously described (Feng et al., G3(Bethesda) 2011 Oct;1(5):327-35. doi: 10.1534/g3.111.000554).

Project description:DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) are highly detrimental since they can lead to mutations and chromosomes rearrangements (amplification, deletion, translocation and chromosome loss). ChIP-chip of P-SMC3 (S1083) and P-SMC1 (S966) were used to show the recruitment of these marks on DNA repair foci. ChIP-chip of gammaH2AX upon CRISPR induction at different positions within a single TAD was also performed.

Project description:Transcriptionally active loci are particularly prone to breakage and mounting evidence suggest that DNA Double-Strand Breaks arising in active genes are handled by a dedicated repair pathway, Transcription-Coupled DSB Repair (TC-DSBR), that entails R-loop accumulation and dissolution. Here, we uncovered a function for the Bloom RecQ DNA helicase (BLM) in TC-DSBR in human cells. BLM is recruited in a transcription dependent-manner at DSBs where it fosters resection, RAD51 binding and accurate Homologous Recombination repair. However, in an R-loop dissolution-deficient background, we found that BLM promotes cell death. We report that upon excessive R-loop accumulation, DNA synthesis is enhanced at DSBs, in a anner that depends on BLM and POLD3. Altogether our work unveils a role for BLM at DSBs in active chromatin, and highlights the toxic potential of RNA:DNA hybrids that accumulate at transcription-associated DSBs.

Project description:Histone methylation plays important roles in the regulation of chromatin dynamics and transcription. Steady state levels of histone lysine methylation are regulated by a balance between enzymes that catalyze either the addition or removal of methyl groups. Using an activity-based biochemical approach, we recently uncovered the JmjC domain as an evolutionarily conserved signature motif for histone demethylases. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Jhd1, a JmjC domain-containing protein in S. cerevisiae, is an H3K36-specific demethylase. Here we report further characterization of Jhd1. Similar to its mammalian homolog, Jhd1-catalyzed histone demethylation requires iron and alpha-ketoglutarate as cofactors. Mutation and deletion studies indicate that the JmjC domain and adjacent sequences are critical for Jhd1 enzymatic activity, while the N-terminal PHD domain is dispensable. Overexpression of JHD1 results in a global reduction of H3K36 methylation in vivo. Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled microarray (ChIP-chip) studies reveal subtle changes in the distribution of H3K36me2 upon overexpression or deletion of JHD1. Our studies establish Jhd1 as a histone demethylase in budding yeast and suggest that Jhd1 functions to maintain the fidelity of histone methylation patterns along transcription units. Keywords: ChIP-chip H3K36me2 ChIPs were performed on wild type, jhd1 knockout, and JHD1 overexpression yeast strains.

Project description:Chromatin relaxation is a prerequisite step that allows the DNA repair machinery to access double-strand breaks (DSBs), and local histones around the DNA breaks suffer from prompt acetylation changes. However, an intriguing question remains as to where the large demands of acetyl-CoA is precisely produced promptly. Here, we report that pyruvate dehydrogenase 1α (PDHE1α) catalyzes pyruvate metabolism to provide acetyl-CoA promptly in response to DNA damage. PDHE1α was quickly recruited to chromatin in a PARylation-dependent manner, which further drove acetyl-CoA generation to support local chromatin acetylation around the DSB regions. In turn, this process increased the formation of relaxed chromatin to benefit repair factor loading, thus promoting DSB repair to ultimately maintain genome stability and contribute to the resistance of cancer cells to DNA-damaging treatments in vitro and in vivo. In accordance with this, blocking PARylation-based PDHE1α chromatin recruitment markedly attenuated chromatin relaxation and the DSB repair efficiency, resulting in genome instability and restoration of radiosensitivity. Collectively, these findings reveal an undescribed mechanism that underlies site-directed acetyl-CoA generation involving chromatin-associated PDHE1α and its instrumental function in DNA repair and regulating local chromatin acetylation around DSB sites.

Project description:DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) repair is essential to safeguard genome integrity but little is known about the contribution of chromosome folding into these processes. Here we unveiled basic principles of chromosome dynamics occurring post-DSB both locally and at a genome wide scale in mammalian cells. We report that topologically associating domains (TAD) that experience a DSB undergo acute ATM-dependent but DNAPK- independent changes. Within these damaged TADs, DSB-induced loop extrusion ensures local transcriptional regulation in response to DSBs. Damaged TADs further coalesce in an ATM-dependent manner, forming a new “D” compartment, where upregulated genes of the DNA damage response (DDR) physically localize suggesting a function of DSB clustering in activating the DNA damage Response. However, these alterations of chromosome folding induced by DSB also come at the expense of an increased translocations rate. Our work highlights the critical impact of chromosome conformation in the maintenance of genome integrity.

Project description:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are toxic to mammalian cells. However, during meiosis, more than 200 DSBs are generated deliberately, to ensure reciprocal recombination and orderly segregation of homologous chromosomes. If left unrepaired, meiotic DSBs can cause aneuploidy in gametes and compromise viability in offspring. Oocytes in which DSBs persist are therefore eliminated by the DNA-damage checkpoint. The checkpoint’s downstream effectors that trigger oocyte death, thereby preserving genome stability across the generations, are unknown. Here we show that the DNA-damage checkpoint eliminates oocytes via the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 pathway members Puma, Noxa and Bax. Deletion of these factors prevents oocyte elimination in recombination-repair mutants, even when the abundance of unresolved DSBs is high. Remarkably, surviving oocytes can extrude a polar body and be fertilised, despite chaotic chromosome segregation at the first meiotic division. Our findings raise the possibility that allelic variants of the BCL-2 pathway could influence the risk of embryonic aneuploidy.
