Human proteins that interact with RNA/DNA hybrids.

ABSTRACT: RNA/DNA hybrids form when RNA hybridizes with its template DNA generating a three-stranded structure known as the R-loop. Knowledge of how they form and resolve, as well as their functional roles, is limited. Here, by pull-down assays followed by mass spectrometry, we identified 803 proteins that bind to RNA/DNA hybrids. Because these proteins were identified using in vitro assays, we confirmed that they bind to R-loops in vivo. They include proteins that are involved in a variety of functions, including most steps of RNA processing. The proteins are enriched for K homology (KH) and helicase domains. Among them, more than 300 proteins preferred binding to hybrids than double-stranded DNA. These proteins serve as starting points for mechanistic studies to elucidate what RNA/DNA hybrids regulate and how they are regulated.

RNA-DNA hybrids prevent resection at dysfunctional telomeres

Project description:At critically short telomeres TERRA RNA-DNA hybrids become stabilized and drive homology-directed repair (HDR) to delay replicative senescence. However, even at long- and intermediate-length telomeres, not subject to HDR, transient TERRA RNA-DNA hybrids form, suggestive of additional roles. Here, we report that hybrids at telomeres prevent resection by the Exo1 nuclease when telomeres become non-functional. We employed the well-characterized cdc13-1 allele, where telomere resection can be induced in a temperature dependent manner, to demonstrate that ssDNA generation at telomeres is either prevented or augmented when RNA-DNA hybrids are stabilized or destabilized, respectively. The viability of cdc13-1 cells is affected by the presence or absence of hybrids accordingly. These results give insights into an additional role of TERRA at dysfunctional telomeres suggesting that it not only affects replicative senescence rates through HDR activation at critically short telomeres, but may also affect resection rates at intermediate length telomeres in pre-senescent cells.

How RNA-Binding Proteins Interact with RNA: Molecules and Mechanisms.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) comprise a large class of over 2,000 proteins that interact with transcripts in all manner of RNA-driven processes. The structures and mechanisms that RBPs use to bind and regulate RNA are incredibly diverse. In this review, we take a look at the components of protein-RNA interaction, from the molecular level to multi-component interaction. We first summarize what is known about protein-RNA molecular interactions based on analyses of solved structures. We additionally describe software currently available for predicting protein-RNA interaction and other resources useful for the study of RBPs. We then review the structure and function of seventeen known RNA-binding domains and analyze the hydrogen bonds adopted by protein-RNA structures on a domain-by-domain basis. We conclude with a summary of the higher-level mechanisms that regulate protein-RNA interactions.

RNA sequencing by direct tagmentation of RNA/DNA hybrids.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has been widely used to characterize cellular status, but it relies on second-strand complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis to generate initial material for library preparation. Here we use bacterial transposase Tn5, which has been increasingly used in various high-throughput DNA analyses, to construct RNA-seq libraries without second-strand synthesis. We show that Tn5 transposome can randomly bind RNA/DNA heteroduplexes and add sequencing adapters onto RNA directly after reverse transcription. This method, Sequencing HEteRo RNA-DNA-hYbrid (SHERRY), is versatile and scalable. SHERRY accepts a wide range of starting materials, from bulk RNA to single cells. SHERRY offers a greatly simplified protocol and produces results with higher reproducibility and GC uniformity compared with prevailing RNA-seq methods.

Polymerase ?-helicase efficiently unwinds DNA and RNA-DNA hybrids.

Project description:POLQ is a unique multifunctional replication and repair gene that encodes for a N-terminal superfamily 2 helicase and a C-terminal A-family polymerase. Although the function of the polymerase domain has been investigated, little is understood regarding the helicase domain. Multiple studies have reported that polymerase ?-helicase (Pol?-helicase) is unable to unwind DNA. However, it exhibits ATPase activity that is stimulated by single-stranded DNA, which presents a biochemical conundrum. In contrast to previous reports, we demonstrate that Pol?-helicase (residues 1-894) efficiently unwinds DNA with 3'-5' polarity, including DNA with 3' or 5' overhangs, blunt-ended DNA, and replication forks. Pol?-helicase also efficiently unwinds RNA-DNA hybrids and exhibits a preference for unwinding the lagging strand at replication forks, similar to related HELQ helicase. Finally, we find that Pol?-helicase can facilitate strand displacement synthesis by Pol?-polymerase, suggesting a plausible function for the helicase domain. Taken together, these findings indicate nucleic acid unwinding as a relevant activity for Pol? in replication repair.

Human SKI component SKIV2L regulates telomeric DNA-RNA hybrids and prevents telomere fragility

Project description:Super killer (SKI) complex is a well-known cytoplasmic 3′ to 5′ mRNA decay complex that functions with the exosome to degrade excessive and aberrant mRNAs. Recently, SKIV2L, the 3′ to 5′ RNA helicase of the human SKI (hSKI) complex has been implicated with the extraction of mRNA at stalled ribosomes, tackling aberrant translation. Here, we show that SKIV2L and TTC37 of the hSKI complex are present within the nucleus, localise on chromatin and at some telomeres during the G2 cell cycle phase. In cells, SKIV2L prevents telomere replication stress shown as fragile telomeres and increases the stability of telomere DNA-RNA hybrids in G2 of the cell cycle whereas its absence decreases the amount of those structures. We further demonstrate that purified hSKI complex binds telomeric DNA and RNA substrates in vitro. Moreover, SKIV2L association with telomeres is dependent on DNA-RNA hybrids but its helicase activity is dispensable for its telomeric function. Taken together, our results provide a nuclear function for SKIV2L of the hSKI complex in overcoming replication stress at telomeres mediated by its recruitment to DNA-RNA hybrid structures in G2 and thus maintaining telomere stability.

DNA editing in DNA/RNA hybrids by adenosine deaminases that act on RNA.

Project description:Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) carry out adenosine (A) to inosine (I) editing reactions with a known requirement for duplex RNA. Here, we show that ADARs also react with DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes. Hybrid substrates are deaminated efficiently by ADAR deaminase domains at dA-C mismatches and with E to Q mutations in the base flipping loop of the enzyme. For a long, perfectly matched hybrid, deamination is more efficient with full length ADAR2 than its isolated deaminase domain. Guide RNA strands for directed DNA editing by ADAR were used to target six different 2΄-deoxyadenosines in the M13 bacteriophage ssDNA genome. DNA editing efficiencies varied depending on the sequence context of the editing site consistent with known sequence preferences for ADARs. These observations suggest the reaction within DNA/RNA hybrids may be a natural function of human ADARs. In addition, this work sets the stage for development of a new class of genome editing tools based on directed deamination of 2΄-deoxyadenosines in DNA/RNA hybrids.

Ultraviolet-induced RNA:DNA hybrids interfere with chromosomal DNA synthesis.

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) induces pyrimidine dimers (PDs) in DNA and replication-dependent fragmentation in chromosomes. The rnhAB mutants in Escherichia coli, accumulating R-loops and single DNA-rNs, are generally resistant to DNA damage, but are surprisingly UV-sensitive, even though they remove PDs normally, suggesting irreparable chromosome lesions. We show here that the RNase H defect does not cause additional chromosome fragmentation after UV, but inhibits DNA synthesis after replication restart. Genetic analysis implies formation of R-loop-anchored transcription elongation complexes (R-loop-aTECs) in UV-irradiated rnhAB mutants, predicting that their chromosomal DNA will accumulate: (i) RNA:DNA hybrids; (ii) a few slow-to-remove PDs. We confirm both features and also find that both, surprisingly, depend on replication restart. Finally, enriching for the UV-induced RNA:DNA hybrids in the rnhAB uvrA mutants also co-enriches for PDs, showing their co-residence in the same structures. We propose that PD-triggered R-loop-aTECs block head-on replication in RNase H-deficient mutants.

Sequence walkers: a graphical method to display how binding proteins interact with DNA or RNA sequences.

Project description:A graphical method is presented for displaying how binding proteins and other macromolecules interact with individual bases of nucleotide sequences. Characters representing the sequence are either oriented normally and placed above a line indicating favorable contact, or upside-down and placed below the line indicating unfavorable contact. The positive or negative height of each letter shows the contribution of that base to the average sequence conservation of the binding site, as represented by a sequence logo. These sequence 'walkers' can be stepped along raw sequence data to visually search for binding sites. Many walkers, for the same or different proteins, can be simultaneously placed next to a sequence to create a quantitative map of a complex genetic region. One can alter the sequence to quantitatively engineer binding sites. Database anomalies can be visualized by placing a walker at the recorded positions of a binding molecule and by comparing this to locations found by scanning the nearby sequences. The sequence can also be altered to predict whether a change is a polymorphism or a mutation for the recognizer being modeled.

N<sup>6</sup>-methyladenosine regulates the stability of RNA:DNA hybrids in human cells.

Project description:R-loops are nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA:DNA hybrid and unpaired single-stranded DNA that represent a source of genomic instability in mammalian cells1-4. Here we show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, contributing to different aspects of messenger RNA metabolism5,6, is detectable on the majority of RNA:DNA hybrids in human pluripotent stem cells. We demonstrate that m6A-containing R-loops accumulate during G2/M and are depleted at G0/G1 phases of the cell cycle, and that the m6A reader promoting mRNA degradation, YTHDF2 (ref. 7), interacts with R-loop-enriched loci in dividing cells. Consequently, YTHDF2 knockout leads to increased R-loop levels, cell growth retardation and accumulation of γH2AX, a marker for DNA double-strand breaks, in mammalian cells. Our results suggest that m6A regulates accumulation of R-loops, implying a role for this modification in safeguarding genomic stability.

DNA:RNA Hybrids Are Major Dinoflagellate Minicircle Molecular Types.

Project description:Peridinin-containing dinoflagellate plastomes are predominantly encoded in nuclear genomes, with less than 20 essential chloroplast proteins carried on "minicircles". Each minicircle generally carries one gene and a short non-coding region (NCR) with a median length of approximately 400-1000 bp. We report here differential nuclease sensitivity and two-dimensional southern blot patterns, suggesting that dsDNA minicircles are in fact the minor forms, with substantial DNA:RNA hybrids (DRHs). Additionally, we observed large molecular weight intermediates, cell-lysate-dependent NCR secondary structures, multiple bidirectional predicted ssDNA structures, and different southern blot patterns when probed with different NCR fragments. In silico analysis suggested the existence of substantial secondary structures with inverted repeats (IR) and palindrome structures within the initial ~650 bp of the NCR sequences, in accordance with conversion event(s) outcomes with PCR. Based on these findings, we propose a new transcription-templating-translation model, which is associated with cross-hopping shift intermediates. Since dinoflagellate chloroplasts are cytosolic and lack nuclear envelope breakdown, the dynamic DRH minicircle transport could have contributed to the spatial-temporal dynamics required for photosystem repair. This represents a paradigm shift from the previous understanding of "minicircle DNAs" to a "working plastome", which will have significant implications for its molecular functionality and evolution.
