TopBP1 controls BLM protein level to maintain genome stability.

ABSTRACT: Human TopBP1 is a key mediator protein involved in DNA replication checkpoint control. In this study, we report a specific interaction between TopBP1 and Bloom syndrome helicase (BLM) that is phosphorylation and cell-cycle dependent. Interestingly, TopBP1 depletion led to decreased BLM protein level and increased sister chromatid exchange (SCE). Moreover, our data indicated that BLM was ubiquitinated by E3 ligase MIB1 and degraded in G1 cells but was stabilized by TopBP1 in S phase cells. Depletion of MIB1 restored BLM protein level and rescued the elevated SCE phenotype in TopBP1-depleted cells. In addition, cells expressing an undegradable BLM mutant showed radiation sensitivity, probably by triggering end resection and inhibiting the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway in G1 phase. Altogether, these data suggest that, although BLM is downregulated in G1 phase in order to promote NHEJ-mediated DNA repair, it is stabilized by TopBP1 in S phase cells in order to suppress SCE and thereby prevent genomic instability.

TopBP1 interacts with BLM to maintain genome stability but is dispensable for preventing BLM degradation.

Project description:The Bloom syndrome helicase BLM and topoisomerase-II?-binding protein 1 (TopBP1) are key regulators of genome stability. It was recently proposed that BLM phosphorylation on Ser338 mediates its interaction with TopBP1, to protect BLM from ubiquitylation and degradation (Wang et al., 2013). Here, we show that the BLM-TopBP1 interaction does not involve Ser338 but instead requires BLM phosphorylation on Ser304. Furthermore, we establish that disrupting this interaction does not markedly affect BLM stability. However, BLM-TopBP1 binding is important for maintaining genome integrity, because in its absence cells display increased sister chromatid exchanges, replication origin firing and chromosomal aberrations. Therefore, the BLM-TopBP1 interaction maintains genome stability not by controlling BLM protein levels, but via another as-yet undetermined mechanism. Finally, we identify critical residues that mediate interactions between TopBP1 and MDC1, and between BLM and TOP3A/RMI1/RMI2. Taken together, our findings provide molecular insights into a key tumor suppressor and genome stability network.

MDC1 Interacts with TOPBP1 to Maintain Chromosomal Stability during Mitosis.

Project description:In mitosis, cells inactivate DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways to preserve genome stability. However, some early signaling events still occur, such as recruitment of the scaffold protein MDC1 to phosphorylated histone H2AX at DSBs. Yet, it remains unclear whether these events are important for maintaining genome stability during mitosis. Here, we identify a highly conserved protein-interaction surface in MDC1 that is phosphorylated by CK2 and recognized by the DNA-damage response mediator protein TOPBP1. Disruption of MDC1-TOPBP1 binding causes a specific loss of TOPBP1 recruitment to DSBs in mitotic but not interphase cells, accompanied by mitotic radiosensitivity, increased micronuclei, and chromosomal instability. Mechanistically, we find that TOPBP1 forms filamentous structures capable of bridging MDC1 foci in mitosis, indicating that MDC1-TOPBP1 complexes tether DSBs until repair is reactivated in the following G1 phase. Thus, we reveal an important, hitherto-unnoticed cooperation between MDC1 and TOPBP1 in maintaining genome stability during cell division.

Structural Insight into BLM Recognition by TopBP1.

Project description:Topoisomerase II? binding protein 1 (TopBP1) is a critical protein-protein interaction hub in DNA replication checkpoint control. It was proposed that TopBP1 BRCT5 interacts with Bloom syndrome helicase (BLM) to regulate genome stability through either phospho-Ser304 or phospho-Ser338 of BLM. Here we show that TopBP1 BRCT5 specifically interacts with the BLM region surrounding pSer304, not pSer338. Our crystal structure of TopBP1 BRCT4/5 bound to BLM reveals recognition of pSer304 by a conserved pSer-binding pocket, and interactions between an FVPP motif N-terminal to pSer304 and a hydrophobic groove on BRCT5. This interaction utilizes the same surface of BRCT5 that recognizes the DNA damage mediator, MDC1; however the binding orientations of MDC1 and BLM are reversed. While the MDC1 interactions are largely electrostatic, the interaction with BLM has higher affinity and relies on a mix of electrostatics and hydrophobicity. We suggest that similar evolutionarily conserved interactions may govern interactions between TopBP1 and 53BP1.

ING2 controls the progression of DNA replication forks to maintain genome stability.

Project description:Inhibitor of growth 2 (ING2) is a candidate tumour suppressor gene the expression of which is frequently lost in tumours. Here, we identified a new function for ING2 in the control of DNA replication and in the maintenance of genome stability. Global replication rate was markedly reduced during normal S-phase in small interfering RNA (siRNA) ING2 cells, as seen in a DNA fibre spreading experiment. Accordingly, we found that ING2 interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen and regulates its amount to the chromatin fraction, allowing normal replication progression and normal cell proliferation. Deregulation of DNA replication has been previously associated with genome instability. Hence, a high proportion of siRNA ING2 cells presented endoreduplication of their genome as well as an increased frequency of sister chromatid exchange. Thus, we propose for the first time that ING2 might function as a tumour suppressor gene by directly maintaining DNA integrity.

CK2 kinase-mediated PHF8 phosphorylation controls TopBP1 stability to regulate DNA replication.

Project description:ATR functions as a master regulator of the DNA-damage response. ATR activation requires the ATR activator, topoisomerase IIβ-binding protein 1 (TopBP1). However, the underlying mechanism of TopBP1 regulation and how its regulation affects DNA replication remain unknown. Here, we report a specific interaction between TopBP1 and the histone demethylase PHF8. The TopBP1/PHF8 interaction is mediated by the BRCT 7+8 domain of TopBP1 and phosphorylation of PHF8 at Ser854. This interaction is cell-cycle regulated and phosphorylation-dependent. PHF8 is phosphorylated by CK2, which regulates binding of PHF8 to TopBP1. Importantly, PHF8 regulates TopBP1 protein level by preventing its ubiquitination and degradation mediated by the E3 ligase UBR5. Interestingly, PHF8pS854 is likely to contribute to regulation of TopBP1 stability and DNA replication checkpoint. Further, both TopBP1 and PHF8 are required for efficient replication fork restart. Together, these data identify PHF8 as a TopBP1-binding protein and provide mechanistic insight into how PHF8 regulates TopBP1 stability to maintain DNA replication.

A New BRCT Binding Mode in TopBP1-BLM Helicase Interaction.

Project description:Tandem BRCT domains are phophoprotein binding modules. In this issue of Structure, Sun et al. (2017) show that a single BRCT domain in TopBP1 binds tightly and specifically to phosphorylated Bloom syndrome helicase (BLM). This work reveals a novel BRCT binding mode and suggests a similar mechanism for TopBP1 interaction with 53BP1.

The Role of DNA Topoisomerase Binding Protein 1 (TopBP1) in Genome Stability in <i>Arabidopsis</i>.

Project description:DNA topoisomerase II (TOPII) plays a very important role in DNA topology and in different biological processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair, and chromosome condensation in higher eukaryotes. TOPII has been found to interact directly with a protein called topoisomerase II binding protein 1 (TopBP1) which also seems to have important roles in DNA replication and repair. In this study, we conducted different experiments to assess the roles of TopBP1 in DNA repair, mitosis, and meiosis, exploring the relationship between TOPII activity and TopBP1. We found that topbp1 mutant seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were hypersensitive to cisplatin treatment and the inhibition of TOPII with etoposide produced similar hypersensitivity levels. Furthermore, we recognised that there were no significant differences between the WT and topbp1 seedlings treated with cisplatin and etoposide together, suggesting that the hypersensitivity to cisplatin in the topbp1 mutant could be related to the functional interaction between TOPII and TopBP1. Somatic and meiotic anaphase bridges appeared in the topbp1 mutant at similar frequencies to those when TOPII was inhibited with merbarone, etoposide, or ICFR-187. The effects on meiosis of TOPII inhibition were produced at S phase/G2 stage, suggesting that catenanes could be produced at the onset of meiosis. Thus, if the processing of the catenanes is impaired, some anaphase bridges can be formed. Also, the appearance of anaphase bridges at first and second division is discussed.

PHF8-promoted TOPBP1 demethylation drives ATR activation and preserves genome stability.

Project description:The checkpoint kinase ATR [ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) and rad3-related] is a master regulator of DNA damage response. Yet, how ATR activity is regulated remains to be investigated. We report here that histone demethylase PHF8 (plant homeodomain finger protein 8) plays a key role in ATR activation and replication stress response. Mechanistically, PHF8 interacts with and demethylates TOPBP1 (DNA topoisomerase 2-binding protein 1), an essential allosteric activator of ATR, under unperturbed conditions, but replication stress results in PHF8 phosphorylation and dissociation from TOPBP1. Consequently, hypomethylated TOPBP1 facilitates RAD9 (RADiation sensitive 9) binding and chromatin loading of the TOPBP1-RAD9 complex to fully activate ATR and thus safeguard the genome and protect cells against replication stress. Our study uncovers a demethylation and phosphorylation code that controls the assembly of TOPBP1-scaffolded protein complex, and provides molecular insight into non-histone methylation switch in ATR activation.

MDC1 interacts with TOPBP1 to maintain chromosomal stability during mitosis

Project description:MDC1 is a large, modular phospho-protein scaffold that mediates recruitment of signaling and repair complexes to sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). MDC1 is anchored to damaged chromatin through interaction of its C-terminal BRCT-repeat domain with phosphorylated H2AX (γH2AX), where it recruits downstream factors via direct phosphorylation-dependent protein-protein interactions. Here, using unbiased proteomic analyses we identify a highly conserved protein interaction surface near the MDC1 N-terminus for the DNA damage response protein TOPBP1. We show that TOPBP1 directly binds to two residues in MDC1 that are phosphorylated by CK2. Interestingly, we find that TOPBP1 recruitment to DSBs depends on direct interaction with MDC1 only during mitosis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that disrupting MDC1-TOPBP1 binding causes hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation in mitosis, as well as increased micronuclei and chromosomal instability. Thus, our results highlight an important and hitherto unnoticed function for MDC1 and TOPBP1 in maintaining genome stability during cell division.

Miz1 and HectH9 regulate the stability of the checkpoint protein, TopBP1.

Project description:The Myc-associated zinc-finger protein, Miz1, activates transcription of the p21cip1 gene in response to UV irradiation. Miz1 associates with topoisomerase II binding protein1 (TopBP1), an essential activator of the Atr kinase. We show here that Miz1 is required for the recruitment of a fraction of TopBP1 to chromatin, for the protection of TopBP1 from proteasomal degradation and for Atr-dependent signal transduction. TopBP1 that is not bound to chromatin is degraded by the HectH9 (Mule, ARF-BP1 and HUWE1) ubiquitin ligase. Myc antagonizes the binding of TopBP1 to Miz1; as a result, expression of Myc leads to dissociation of TopBP1 from chromatin, reduces the amount of total TopBP1 and attenuates Atr-dependent signal transduction. Our data show that Miz1 and Myc affect the activity of the Atr checkpoint through their effect on TopBP1 chromatin association and stability.
