Removal of RTF2 from Stalled Replisomes Promotes Maintenance of Genome Integrity.

ABSTRACT: The protection and efficient restart of stalled replication forks is critical for the maintenance of genome integrity. Here, we identify a regulatory pathway that promotes stalled forks recovery from replication stress. We show that the mammalian replisome component C20orf43/RTF2 (homologous to S. pombe Rtf2) must be removed for fork restart to be optimal. We further show that the proteasomal shuttle proteins DDI1 and DDI2 are required for RTF2 removal from stalled forks. Persistence of RTF2 at stalled forks results in fork restart defects, hyperactivation of the DNA damage signal, accumulation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), sensitivity to replication drugs, and chromosome instability. These results establish that RTF2 removal is a key determinant for the ability of cells to manage replication stress and maintain genome integrity.

DCAF14 promotes stalled fork stability to maintain genome integrity.

Project description:Replication stress response ensures impediments to DNA replication do not compromise replication fork stability and genome integrity. In a process termed replication fork protection, newly synthesized DNA at stalled replication forks is stabilized and protected from nuclease-mediated degradation. We report the identification of DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 14 (DCAF14), a substrate receptor for Cullin4-RING E3 ligase (CRL4) complex, integral in stabilizing stalled replication forks. DCAF14 localizes rapidly to stalled forks and promotes genome integrity by preventing fork collapse into double-strand breaks (DSBs). Importantly, CRL4DCAF14 mediates stalled fork protection in a RAD51-dependent manner to protect nascent DNA from MRE11 and DNA2 nucleases. Thus, our study shows replication stress response functions of DCAF14 in genome maintenance.

The intra-S phase checkpoint directly regulates replication elongation to preserve the integrity of stalled replisomes.

Project description:DNA replication is dramatically slowed down under replication stress. The regulation of replication speed is a conserved response in eukaryotes and, in fission yeast, requires the checkpoint kinases Rad3ATR and Cds1Chk2 However, the underlying mechanism of this checkpoint regulation remains unresolved. Here, we report that the Rad3ATR-Cds1Chk2 checkpoint directly targets the Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) replicative helicase under replication stress. When replication forks stall, the Cds1Chk2 kinase directly phosphorylates Cdc45 on the S275, S322, and S397 residues, which significantly reduces CMG helicase activity. Furthermore, in cds1Chk2 -mutated cells, the CMG helicase and DNA polymerases are physically separated, potentially disrupting replisomes and collapsing replication forks. This study demonstrates that the intra-S phase checkpoint directly regulates replication elongation, reduces CMG helicase processivity, prevents CMG helicase delinking from DNA polymerases, and therefore helps preserve the integrity of stalled replisomes and replication forks.

ETAA1 acts at stalled replication forks to maintain genome integrity.

Project description:The ATR checkpoint kinase coordinates cellular responses to DNA replication stress. Budding yeast contain three activators of Mec1 (the ATR orthologue); however, only TOPBP1 is known to activate ATR in vertebrates. We identified ETAA1 as a replication stress response protein in two proteomic screens. ETAA1-deficient cells accumulate double-strand breaks, sister chromatid exchanges, and other hallmarks of genome instability. They are also hypersensitive to replication stress and have increased frequencies of replication fork collapse. ETAA1 contains two RPA-interaction motifs that localize ETAA1 to stalled replication forks. It also interacts with several DNA damage response proteins including the BLM/TOP3α/RMI1/RMI2 and ATR/ATRIP complexes. It binds ATR/ATRIP directly using a motif with sequence similarity to the TOPBP1 ATR-activation domain; and like TOPBP1, ETAA1 acts as a direct ATR activator. ETAA1 functions in parallel to the TOPBP1/RAD9/HUS1/RAD1 pathway to regulate ATR and maintain genome stability. Thus, vertebrate cells contain at least two ATR-activating proteins.

NRIP3 upregulation confers resistance to chemoradiotherapy in ESCC via RTF2 removal by accelerating ubiquitination and degradation of RTF2.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignant cancer worldwide. Despite recent improvements in surgical techniques and adjuvant therapies, the prognosis of patients with advanced ESCC remains poor. Resistance to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains a major cause of treatment failure for advanced ESCC patients. Here, we report that NRIP3 (nuclear receptor interacting protein 3) promotes ESCC tumor cell growth and resistance to CRT in ESCC cells by increasing and binding to DDI1 (DNA-damage inducible 1 homolog 1) and RTF2 (homologous to Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rtf2), and accelerating the removal of RTF2, which is a key determinant for the ability of cells to manage replication stress. In addition, we found that NRIP3 could increase DDI1 expression via PPAR?. The NRIP3-PPAR?-DDI1-RTF2 axis represents a protective molecular pathway in ESCC cells that mediates resistance to replication stress signals induced by chemoradiotherapy. In addition, elevated NRIP3 is associated with the poor clinical outcome of ESCC patients receiving radiotherapy and/or cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Our study therefore reveals that NRIP3 is a prognostic factor in ESCC and could have some predictive value to select patients who benefit from CRT treatment. A common mechanism that protects ESCC tumor cells from DNA damage induced by CRT is also revealed in this study.

Mta2 promotes Tipin-dependent maintenance of replication fork integrity.

Project description:Orderly progression of S phase requires the action of replisome-associated Tipin and Tim1 proteins, whose molecular function is poorly understood. Here, we show that Tipin deficiency leads to the accumulation of aberrant replication intermediates known as reversed forks. We identified Mta2, a subunit of the NuRD chromatin remodeler complex, as a novel Tipin binding partner and mediator of its function. Mta2 is required for Tipin-dependent Polymerase ? binding to replicating chromatin, and this function is essential to prevent the accumulation of reversed forks. Given the role of the Mta2-NuRD complex in the maintenance of heterochromatin, which is usually associated with hard-to-replicate DNA sequences, we tested the role of Tipin in the replication of such regions. Using a novel assay we developed to monitor replication of specific genomic loci in Xenopus laevis egg extract we demonstrated that Tipin is directly required for efficient replication of vertebrate centromeric DNA. Overall these results suggest that Mta2 and Tipin cooperate to maintain replication fork integrity, especially on regions that are intrinsically difficult to duplicate.

ZNF365 promotes stalled replication forks recovery to maintain genome stability.

Project description:The ZNF365 locus is associated with breast cancer risk in carriers of mutated BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are important molecules required for DNA damage response. Previously, we demonstrated that ZNF365 is necessary for timely resolution of replication intermediates of genomic fragile sites and, thus, for suppression of genomic instability; however, the mechanism underlying the function of ZNF365 on damaged DNA and stalled replication forks remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ZNF365 is induced by DNA double-strand break (DSB) signals, is involved in the homologous recombination (HR) repair pathway, and maintains genome integrity during DNA replication. On the mechanistic level, ZNF365 interacts with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 to tether MRE11 to the DNA end resection site. Loss of ZNF365 results in delayed mitotic progression and exit due to increased replication stress, ultimately leading to cytokinesis failure, re-duplication of centrosomes, and increased aneuploidy. Collectively, these results suggest an HR repair-dependent function of ZNF365 in preventing genomic instability.

Homologous recombination maintenance of genome integrity during DNA damage tolerance.

Project description:The DNA strand exchange protein Rad51 provides a safe mechanism for the repair of DNA breaks using the information of a homologous DNA template. Homologous recombination (HR) also plays a key role in the response to DNA damage that impairs the advance of the replication forks by providing mechanisms to circumvent the lesion and fill in the tracks of single-stranded DNA that are generated during the process of lesion bypass. These activities postpone repair of the blocking lesion to ensure that DNA replication is completed in a timely manner. Experimental evidence generated over the last few years indicates that HR participates in this DNA damage tolerance response together with additional error-free (template switch) and error-prone (translesion synthesis) mechanisms through intricate connections, which are presented here. The choice between repair and tolerance, and the mechanism of tolerance, is critical to avoid increased mutagenesis and/or genome rearrangements, which are both hallmarks of cancer.

Roles of DNA helicases in the maintenance of genome integrity.

Project description:Genome integrity is achieved and maintained by the sum of all of the processes in the cell that ensure the faithful duplication and repair of DNA, as well as its genetic transmission from one cell division to the next. As central players in virtually all of the DNA transactions that occur in vivo, DNA helicases (molecular motors that unwind double-stranded DNA to produce single-stranded substrates) represent a crucial enzyme family that is necessary for genomic stability. Indeed, mutations in many human helicase genes are linked to a variety of diseases with symptoms that can be generally described as genomic instability, such as predispositions to cancers. This review focuses on the roles of both DNA replication helicases and recombination/repair helicases in maintaining genome integrity and provides a brief overview of the diseases related to defects in these enzymes.

A gatekeeping function of the replicative polymerase controls pathway choice in the resolution of lesion-stalled replisomes.

Project description:DNA lesions stall the replisome and proper resolution of these obstructions is critical for genome stability. Replisomes can directly replicate past a lesion by error-prone translesion synthesis. Alternatively, replisomes can reprime DNA synthesis downstream of the lesion, creating a single-stranded DNA gap that is repaired primarily in an error-free, homology-directed manner. Here we demonstrate how structural changes within the Escherichia coli replisome determine the resolution pathway of lesion-stalled replisomes. This pathway selection is controlled by a dynamic interaction between the proofreading subunit of the replicative polymerase and the processivity clamp, which sets a kinetic barrier to restrict access of translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases to the primer/template junction. Failure of TLS polymerases to overcome this barrier leads to repriming, which competes kinetically with TLS. Our results demonstrate that independent of its exonuclease activity, the proofreading subunit of the replisome acts as a gatekeeper and influences replication fidelity during the resolution of lesion-stalled replisomes.

Ataxin-3 promotes genome integrity by stabilizing Chk1.

Project description:The Chk1 protein is essential for genome integrity maintenance and cell survival in eukaryotic cells. After prolonged replication stress, Chk1 can be targeted for proteasomal degradation to terminate checkpoint signaling after DNA repair finishes. To ensure proper activation of DNA damage checkpoint and DNA repair signaling, a steady-state level of Chk1 needs to be retained under physiological conditions. Here, we report a dynamic signaling pathway that tightly regulates Chk1 stability. Under unperturbed conditions and upon DNA damage, ataxin-3 (ATX3) interacts with Chk1 and protects it from DDB1/CUL4A- and FBXO6/CUL1-mediated polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation, thereby promoting DNA repair and checkpoint signaling. Under prolonged replication stress, ATX3 dissociates from Chk1, concomitant with a stronger binding between Chk1 and its E3 ligase, which causes Chk1 proteasomal degradation. ATX3 deficiency results in pronounced reduction of Chk1 abundance, compromised DNA damage response, G2/M checkpoint defect and decreased cell survival after replication stress, which can all be rescued by ectopic expression of ATX3. Taken together, these findings reveal ATX3 to be a novel deubiquitinase of Chk1, providing a new mechanism of Chk1 stabilization in genome integrity maintenance.
