Replication of Pyridyloxobutyl Phosphotriester Lesions in Cells.

ABSTRACT: Genome integrity is constantly challenged by endogenous or exogenous genotoxic agents, which can give rise to various DNA adducts. After metabolic activation, tobacco-specific nitrosamines N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) can lead to pyridyloxobutylphosphotriesters (POB-PTEs) in DNA. Here, we synthesized oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing a site-specifically inserted S_P- or R_P-POB-PTE flanked by two thymidines, and we examined the impact that these lesions have on DNA replication in Escherichia coli cells. We found that these two lesions are not strong impediments to DNA replication, and their replicative bypass is not modulated by genetic depletion of the three SOS-induced DNA polymerases or Ada protein. In addition, neither S_P- nor R_P-POB-PTEs was mutagenic in E. coli cells. Together, our study unveiled, for the first time, the influence of tobacco-specific nitrosamine-induced POB-PTE lesions on DNA replication in vivo.

Cytotoxic and mutagenic properties of alkyl phosphotriester lesions in Escherichia coli cells.

Project description:Exposure to many endogenous and exogenous agents can give rise to DNA alkylation, which constitutes a major type of DNA damage. Among the DNA alkylation products, alkyl phosphotriesters have relatively high frequencies of occurrence and are resistant to repair in mammalian tissues. However, little is known about how these lesions affect the efficiency and fidelity of DNA replication in cells or how the replicative bypass of these lesions is modulated by translesion synthesis DNA polymerases. In this study, we synthesized oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing four pairs (Sp and Rp) of alkyl phosphotriester lesions at a defined site, and examined how these lesions are recognized by DNA replication machinery in Escherichia coli cells. We found that the Sp diastereomer of the alkyl phosphotriester lesions could be efficiently bypassed, whereas the Rp counterparts moderately blocked DNA replication. Moreover, the Sp-methyl phosphotriester induced TT→GT and TT→GC mutations at the flanking TT dinucleotide site, and the induction of these mutations required Ada protein, which is known to remove efficiently the methyl group from the Sp-methyl phosphotriester. Together, our study provided a comprehensive understanding about the recognition of alkyl phosphotriester lesions by DNA replication machinery in cells, and revealed for the first time the Ada-dependent induction of mutations at the Sp-methyl phosphotriester site.

Ada protein- and sequence context-dependent mutagenesis of alkyl phosphotriester lesions in Escherichia coli cells.

Project description:Alkyl phosphotriester (alkyl-PTE) lesions are frequently induced in DNA and are resistant to repair. Here, we synthesized and characterized methyl (Me)- and n-butyl (nBu)-PTEs in two diastereomeric configurations (S p and R p) at six different flanking dinucleotide sites, i.e. XT and TX (X = A, C, or G), and assessed how these lesions impact DNA replication in Escherichia coli cells. When single-stranded vectors contained an S p-Me-PTE in the sequence contexts of 5'-AT-3', 5'-CT-3', or 5'-GT-3', DNA replication was highly efficient and the replication products for all three sequence contexts contained 85-90% AT and 5-10% TG. Thus, the replication outcome was largely independent of the identity of the 5' nucleotide adjacent to an S p-Me-PTE. Furthermore, replication across these lesions was not dependent on the activities of DNA polymerases II, IV, or V; Ada, a protein involved in adaptive response and repair of S p-Me-PTE in E. coli, however, was essential for the generation of the mutagenic products. Additionally, the R p diastereomer of Me-PTEs at XT sites and both diastereomers of Me-PTEs at TX sites exhibited error-free replication bypass. Moreover, S p-nBu-PTEs at XT sites did not strongly impede DNA replication, and other nBu-PTEs displayed moderate blockage effects, with none of them being mutagenic. Taken together, these findings provide in-depth understanding of how alkyl-PTE lesions are recognized by the DNA replication machinery in prokaryotic cells and reveal that Ada contributes to mutagenesis of S p-Me-PTEs in E. coli.

Replication studies of carboxymethylated DNA lesions in human cells.

Project description:Metabolic activation of some N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), an important class of DNA damaging agents, can induce the carboxymethylation of nucleobases in DNA. Very little was previously known about how the carboxymethylated DNA lesions perturb DNA replication in human cells. Here, we investigated the effects of five carboxymethylated DNA lesions, i.e. O6-CMdG, N6-CMdA, N4-CMdC, N3-CMdT and O4-CMdT on the efficiency and fidelity of DNA replication in HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells. We found that, while neither N6-CMdA nor N4-CMdC blocked DNA replication or induced mutations, N3-CMdT, O4-CMdT and O6-CMdG moderately blocked DNA replication and induced substantial frequencies of T?A (81%), T?C (68%) and G?A (6.4%) mutations, respectively. In addition, our results revealed that CRISPR-Cas9-mediated depletion of Pol ? resulted in significant drops in bypass efficiencies of N4-CMdC and N3-CMdT. Diminution in bypass efficiencies was also observed for N6-CMdA and O6-CMdG upon depletion of Pol ?, and for O6-CMdG upon removal of Pol ?. Together, our study provided molecular-level insights into the impacts of the carboxymethylated DNA lesions on DNA replication in human cells, revealed the roles of individual translesion synthesis DNA polymerases in bypassing these lesions, and suggested the contributions of O6-CMdG, N3-CMdT and O4-CMdT to the mutations found in p53 gene of human gastrointestinal cancers.

Requirement of Rad18 protein for replication through DNA lesions in mouse and human cells.

Project description:In yeast, the Rad6-Rad18 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme plays a critical role in promoting replication although DNA lesions by translesion synthesis (TLS). In striking contrast, a number of studies have indicated that TLS can occur in the absence of Rad18 in human and other mammalian cells, and also in chicken cells. In this study, we determine the role of Rad18 in TLS that occurs during replication in human and mouse cells, and show that in the absence of Rad18, replication of duplex plasmids containing a cis-syn TT dimer or a (6-4) TT photoproduct is severely inhibited in human cells and that mutagenesis resulting from TLS opposite cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4) photoproducts formed at the TT, TC, and CC dipyrimidine sites in the chromosomal cII gene in UV-irradiated mouse cells is abolished. From these and other observations with Rad18, we conclude that the Rad6-Rad18 enzyme plays an essential role in promoting replication through DNA lesions by TLS in mammalian cells. In contrast, the dispensability of Rad18 for TLS in chicken DT40 cells would suggest that the role of the Rad6-Rad18 enzyme complex has diverged considerably between chicken and mammals, raising the possibility that TLS mechanisms differ among them.

The Impact of Minor-Groove N2-Alkyl-2'-deoxyguanosine Lesions on DNA Replication in Human Cells.

Project description:Endogenous metabolites and exogenous chemicals can induce covalent modifications on DNA, producing DNA lesions. The N2 of guanine was shown to be a common alkylation site in DNA; however, not much is known about the influence of the size of the alkyl group in N2-alkyldG lesions on cellular DNA replication or how translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases modulate DNA replication past these lesions in human cells. To answer these questions, we employ a robust shuttle vector method to investigate the impact of four N2-alkyldG lesions (i.e., with the alkyl group being a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, or n-butyl group) on DNA replication in human cells. We find that replication through the N2-alkyldG lesions was highly efficient and accurate in HEK293T cells or isogenic CRISPR-engineered cells with deficiency in polymerase (Pol) ? or Pol ?. Genetic ablation of Pol ?, Pol ?, or Rev1, however, results in decreased bypass efficiencies and elicits substantial frequencies of G ? A transition and G ? T transversion mutations for these lesions. Moreover, further depletion of Pol ? in Pol ?- or Pol ?-deficient cells gives rise to elevated rates of G ? A and G ? T mutations and substantially decreased bypass efficiencies. Cumulatively, we demonstrate that the error-free replication past the N2-alkyldG lesions is facilitated by a specific subset of TLS polymerases, and we find that longer alkyl chains in these lesions induce diminished bypass efficiency and fidelity in DNA replication.

Expansion of Gamma-Butyrolactone Signaling Molecule Biosynthesis to Phosphotriester Natural Products.

Project description:Bacterial hormones, such as the iconic gamma-butyrolactone A-factor, are essential signaling molecules that regulate diverse physiological processes, including specialized metabolism. These low molecular weight compounds are common in Streptomyces species and display species-specific structural differences. Recently, unusual gamma-butyrolactone natural products called salinipostins were isolated from the marine actinomycete genus Salinispora based on their antimalarial properties. As the salinipostins possess a rare phosphotriester motif of unknown biosynthetic origin, we set out to explore its construction by the widely conserved 9-gene spt operon in Salinispora species. We show through a series of in vivo and in vitro studies that the spt gene cluster dually encodes the salinipostins and newly identified natural A-factor-like gamma-butyrolactones (Sal-GBLs). Remarkably, homologous biosynthetic gene clusters are widely distributed among many actinomycete genera, including Streptomyces, suggesting the significance of this operon in bacteria.

Replication across regioisomeric ethylated thymidine lesions by purified DNA polymerases.

Project description:Causal links exist between smoking cigarettes and cancer development. Some genotoxic agents in cigarette smoke are capable of alkylating nucleobases in DNA, and higher levels of ethylated DNA lesions were observed in smokers than in nonsmokers. In this study, we examined comprehensively how the regioisomeric O(2)-, N3-, and O(4)-ethylthymidine (O(2)-, N3-, and O(4)-EtdT, respectively) perturb DNA replication mediated by purified human DNA polymerases (hPols) ?, ?, and ?, yeast DNA polymerase ? (yPol ?), and the exonuclease-free Klenow fragment (Kf(-)) of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. Our results showed that hPol ? and Kf(-) could bypass all three lesions and generate full-length replication products, whereas hPol ? stalled after inserting a single nucleotide opposite the lesions. Bypass conducted by hPol ? and yPol ? differed markedly among the three lesions. Consistent with its known ability to efficiently bypass the minor groove N(2)-substituted 2'-deoxyguanosine lesions, hPol ? was able to bypass O(2)-EtdT, though it experienced great difficulty in bypassing N3-EtdT and O(4)-EtdT. yPol ? was only modestly blocked by O(4)-EtdT, but the polymerase was strongly hindered by O(2)-EtdT and N3-EtdT. LC-MS/MS analysis of the replication products revealed that DNA synthesis opposite O(4)-EtdT was highly error-prone, with dGMP being preferentially inserted, while the presence of O(2)-EtdT and N3-EtdT in template DNA directed substantial frequencies of misincorporation of dGMP and, for hPol ? and Kf(-), dTMP. Thus, our results suggested that O(2)-EtdT and N3-EtdT may also contribute to the AT ? TA and AT ? GC mutations observed in cells and tissues of animals exposed to ethylating agents.

Replication blocking lesions present a unique substrate for homologous recombination.

Project description:Homologous recombination (HR) plays a critical role in the restart of blocked replication forks, but how this is achieved remains poorly understood. We show that mutants in the single Rad51 paralog in Caenorhabditis elegans, rfs-1, permit discrimination between HR substrates generated at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), or following replication fork collapse from HR substrates assembled at replication fork barriers (RFBs). Unexpectedly, RFS-1 is dispensable for RAD-51 recruitment to meiotic and ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DSBs and following replication fork collapse, yet, is essential for RAD-51 recruitment to RFBs formed by DNA crosslinking agents and other replication blocking lesions. Deletion of rfs-1 also suppresses the accumulation of toxic HR intermediates in him-6; top-3 mutants and accelerates deletion formation at presumed endogenous RFBs formed by poly G/C tracts in the absence of DOG-1. These data suggest that RFS-1 is not a general mediator of HR-dependent DSB repair, but acts specifically to promote HR at RFBs. HR substrates generated at conventional DSBs or following replication fork collapse are therefore intrinsically different from those produced during normal repair of blocked replication forks.

Histological Lesions and Replication Sites of PCV3 in Naturally Infected Pigs.

Project description:Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has been recently described as a potential cause of abortions and systemic vasculitis in pigs. Although the virus has been detected by real-time PCR in several porcine tissues from countries worldwide, PCV3-associated diseases have not been satisfactorily clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the presence of PCV3 mRNA detected by in situ hybridization (ISH) within histological lesions and PCV3 DNA detected by real-time PCR in naturally infected pigs. A total of 25 PCV3 PCR-positive cases were analyzed. Formalin-fixed tissues from these cases were evaluated for histologic lesions and for ISH-RNA positive signals for PCV3. The most frequent tissue type with histopathologic lesions was heart, 76.2%, with lymphoplasmacytic myocarditis and epicarditis as the most frequent lesions observed. Lymphoplasmacytic interstitial pneumonia was also a frequent finding, 47.6%. There were also lesions in kidney, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. PCV3-ISH-RNA positive signals were mostly observed in association with lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate in various tissues, including arteries. Based on our results, the minimum set of specimens to be submitted for histopathology and mRNA in situ hybridization to confirm or exclude a diagnosis of PCV3 are heart, lung and lymphoid tissues (i.e., spleen and lymph nodes), especially for differential diagnosis related with PCV2-associated diseases.

Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Expanded Under Ambient Oxygen Concentration Accumulate Oxidative DNA Lesions and Experience Procarcinogenic DNA Replication Stress.

Project description:Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have led to growing interest in cell-based therapy because they can be easily harvested from an abundant tissue. ADSCs must be expanded in vitro before transplantation. This essential step causes concerns about the safety of adult stem cells in terms of potential transformation. Tumorigenesis is driven in its earliest step by DNA replication stress, which is characterized by the accumulation of stalled DNA replication forks and activation of the DNA damage response. Thus, to evaluate the safety of ADSCs during ex vivo expansion, we monitored DNA replication under atmospheric (21%) or physiologic (1%) oxygen concentration. Here, by combining immunofluorescence and DNA combing, we show that ADSCs cultured under 21% oxygen accumulate endogenous oxidative DNA lesions, which interfere with DNA replication by increasing fork stalling events, thereby leading to incomplete DNA replication and fork collapse. Moreover, we found by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) that culture of ADSCs under atmospheric oxygen concentration leads to misexpression of cell cycle and DNA replication genes, which could contribute to DNA replication stress. Finally, analysis of acquired small nucleotide polymorphism shows that expansion of ADSCs under 21% oxygen induces a mutational bias toward deleterious transversions. Overall, our results suggest that expanding ADSCs at a low oxygen concentration could reduce the risk for DNA replication stress-associated transformation, as occurs in neoplastic tissues.
