Coordination of Rad1-Rad10 interactions with Msh2-Msh3, Saw1 and RPA is essential for functional 3' non-homologous tail removal.

ABSTRACT: Double strand DNA break repair (DSBR) comprises multiple pathways. A subset of DSBR pathways, including single strand annealing, involve intermediates with 3' non-homologous tails that must be removed to complete repair. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rad1-Rad10 is the structure-specific endonuclease that cleaves the tails in 3' non-homologous tail removal (3' NHTR). Rad1-Rad10 is also an essential component of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. In both cases, Rad1-Rad10 requires protein partners for recruitment to the relevant DNA intermediate. Msh2-Msh3 and Saw1 recruit Rad1-Rad10 in 3' NHTR; Rad14 recruits Rad1-Rad10 in NER. We created two rad1 separation-of-function alleles, rad1R203A,K205A and rad1R218A; both are defective in 3' NHTR but functional in NER. In vitro, rad1R203A,K205A was impaired at multiple steps in 3' NHTR. The rad1R218A in vivo phenotype resembles that of msh2- or msh3-deleted cells; recruitment of rad1R218A-Rad10 to recombination intermediates is defective. Interactions among rad1R218A-Rad10 and Msh2-Msh3 and Saw1 are altered and rad1R218A-Rad10 interactions with RPA are compromised. We propose a model in which Rad1-Rad10 is recruited and positioned at the recombination intermediate through interactions, between Saw1 and DNA, Rad1-Rad10 and Msh2-Msh3, Saw1 and Msh2-Msh3 and Rad1-Rad10 and RPA. When any of these interactions is altered, 3' NHTR is impaired.

Project description:DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an important postreplication process that eliminates mispaired or unpaired nucleotides to ensure genomic replication fidelity. In humans, Msh2-Msh6 and Msh2-Msh3 are the two mismatch repair initiation factors that recognize DNA lesions. While X-ray crystal structures exist for these proteins in complex with DNA lesions, little is known about their structures during the initial search along nonspecific double-stranded DNA, because they are short-lived and difficult to determine experimentally. In this study, various computational approaches were used to sidestep these difficulties. All-atom and coarse-grained simulations based on the crystal structures of Msh2-Msh3 and Msh2-Msh6 showed no translation along the DNA, suggesting that the initial search conformation differs from the lesion-bound crystal structure. We modeled probable search-mode structures of MSH proteins and showed, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, that they can perform rotation-coupled diffusion on DNA, which is a suitable and efficient search mechanism for their function and one predicted earlier by fluorescence resonance energy transfer and fluorescence microscopy studies. This search mechanism is implemented by electrostatic interactions among the mismatch-binding domain (MBD), the clamp domains, and the DNA backbone. During simulations, their diffusion rate did not change significantly with an increasing salt concentration, which is consistent with observations from experimental studies. When the gap between their DNA-binding clamps was increased, Msh2-Msh3 diffused mostly via the clamp domains while Msh2-Msh6 still diffused using the MBD, reproducing the experimentally measured lower diffusion coefficient of Msh2-Msh6. Interestingly, Msh2-Msh3 was capable of dissociating from the DNA, whereas Msh2-Msh6 always diffused on the DNA duplex. This is consistent with the experimental observation that Msh2-Msh3, unlike Msh2-Msh6, can overcome obstacles such as nucleosomes. Our models provide a molecular picture of the different mismatch search mechanisms undertaken by Msh2-Msh6 and Msh2-Msh3, despite the similarity of their structures.
