PEA15 regulates the DNA damage induced cell cycle checkpoint and oncogene-directed transformation

ABSTRACT: Regulation of the DNA damage response and cell cycle progression is critical for maintaining genome integrity. Here we report that in response to DNA damage, COPS5 deubiquitinates and stabilizes PEA15 in an ATM kinase-dependent manner. PEA15 expression oscillates throughout the cell cycle, and the loss of PEA15 accelerates cell cycle progression by activating CDK6 expression via the c-JUN transcription factor. Cells lacking PEA15 exhibit a DNA damage-induced G2/M checkpoint defect due to increased CDC25C activity and consequentially higher CDK1/Cyclin B activity and accordingly have an increased rate of spontaneous mutagenesis. We find that oncogenic RAS inhibits PEA15 expression and ectopic PEA15 expression blocks RAS-mediated transformation, which can be partially rescued by ectopic expression of CDK6. Finally, we show that PEA15 expression is down regulated in colon, breast and lung cancer samples. Collectively, our results demonstrate that tumor suppressor PEA15 is a regulator of genome integrity and is an integral component of the DNA damage response pathway that regulates cell cycle progression, the DNA-damage-induced G2/M checkpoint and cellular transformation. HCT116 cells stably expressing a non-silencing shRNA or two individual shRNAs against PEA15 were used to prepare the total RNA, which was then used to analyze for gene expression using Illumina expression array.

A DNA damage-induced, SOS-independent checkpoint regulates cell division in Caulobacter crescentus.

Project description:Cells must coordinate DNA replication with cell division, especially during episodes of DNA damage. The paradigm for cell division control following DNA damage in bacteria involves the SOS response where cleavage of the transcriptional repressor LexA induces a division inhibitor. However, in Caulobacter crescentus, cells lacking the primary SOS-regulated inhibitor, sidA, can often still delay division post-damage. Here we identify didA, a second cell division inhibitor that is induced by DNA damage, but in an SOS-independent manner. Together, DidA and SidA inhibit division, such that cells lacking both inhibitors divide prematurely following DNA damage, with lethal consequences. We show that DidA does not disrupt assembly of the division machinery and instead binds the essential division protein FtsN to block cytokinesis. Intriguingly, mutations in FtsW and FtsI, which drive the synthesis of septal cell wall material, can suppress the activity of both SidA and DidA, likely by causing the FtsW/I/N complex to hyperactively initiate cell division. Finally, we identify a transcription factor, DriD, that drives the SOS-independent transcription of didA following DNA damage.

JNK-mediated phosphorylation of Cdc25C regulates cell cycle entry and G(2)/M DNA damage checkpoint.

Project description:c-Jun NH(2)-terminal Kinases (JNKs) play a central role in the cellular response to a wide variety of stress signals. After their activation, JNKs induce phosphorylation of substrates, which control proliferation, migration, survival, and differentiation. Recent studies suggest that JNKs may also play a role in cell cycle control, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unexplored. Here we show that JNK directly phosphorylates Cdc25C at serine 168 during G(2) phase of the cell cycle. Cdc25C phosphorylation by JNK negatively regulates its phosphatase activity and thereby Cdk1 activation, enabling a timely control of mitosis onset. Unrestrained phosphorylation by JNK, as obtained by a cell cycle-stabilized form of JNK or as seen in some human tumors, results in aberrant cell cycle progression. Additionally, UV irradiation-induced G(2)/M checkpoint requires inactivation of Cdc25C by JNK phosphorylation. JNK phosphorylation of Cdc25C as well as Cdc25A establishes a novel link between stress signaling and unperturbed cell cycle and checkpoint pathways.

Cdk2 strengthens the intra-S checkpoint and counteracts cell cycle exit induced by DNA damage.

Project description:Although cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) controls the G1/S transition and promotes DNA replication, it is dispensable for cell cycle progression due to redundancy with Cdk1. Yet Cdk2 also has non-redundant functions that can be revealed in certain genetic backgrounds and it was reported to promote the G2/M DNA damage response checkpoint in TP53 (p53)-deficient cancer cells. However, in p53-proficient cells subjected to DNA damage, Cdk2 is inactivated by the CDK inhibitor p21. We therefore investigated whether Cdk2 differentially affects checkpoint responses in p53-proficient and deficient cell lines. We show that, independently of p53 status, Cdk2 stimulates the ATR/Chk1 pathway and is required for an efficient DNA replication checkpoint response. In contrast, Cdk2 is not required for a sustained DNA damage response and G2 arrest. Rather, eliminating Cdk2 delays S/G2 progression after DNA damage and accelerates appearance of early markers of cell cycle exit. Notably, Cdk2 knockdown leads to down-regulation of Cdk6, which we show is a non-redundant pRb kinase whose elimination compromises cell cycle progression. Our data reinforce the notion that Cdk2 is a key p21 target in the DNA damage response whose inactivation promotes exit from the cell cycle in G2.

Orchestration of DNA Damage Checkpoint Dynamics across the Human Cell Cycle.

Project description:Although molecular mechanisms that prompt cell-cycle arrest in response to DNA damage have been elucidated, the systems-level properties of DNA damage checkpoints are not understood. Here, using time-lapse microscopy and simulations that model the cell cycle as a series of Poisson processes, we characterize DNA damage checkpoints in individual, asynchronously proliferating cells. We demonstrate that, within early G1 and G2, checkpoints are stringent: DNA damage triggers an abrupt, all-or-none cell-cycle arrest. The duration of this arrest correlates with the severity of DNA damage. After the cell passes commitment points within G1 and G2, checkpoint stringency is relaxed. By contrast, all of S phase is comparatively insensitive to DNA damage. This checkpoint is graded: instead of halting the cell cycle, increasing DNA damage leads to slower S phase progression. In sum, we show that a cell's response to DNA damage depends on its exact cell-cycle position and that checkpoints are phase-dependent, stringent or relaxed, and graded or all-or-none.

p38γ regulates UV-induced checkpoint signaling and repair of UV-induced DNA damage.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, DNA damage triggers activation of checkpoint signaling pathways that coordinate cell cycle arrest and repair of damaged DNA. These DNA damage responses serve to maintain genome stability and prevent accumulation of genetic mutations and development of cancer. The p38 MAPK was previously implicated in cellular responses to several types of DNA damage. However, the role of each of the four p38 isoforms and the mechanism for their involvement in DNA damage responses remained poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that p38γ, but not the other p38 isoforms, contributes to the survival of UV-treated cells. Deletion of p38γ sensitizes cells to UV exposure, accompanied by prolonged S phase cell cycle arrest and increased rate of apoptosis. Further investigation reveal that p38γ is essential for the optimal activation of the checkpoint signaling caused by UV, and for the efficient repair of UV-induced DNA damage. These findings have established a novel role of p38γ in UV-induced DNA damage responses, and suggested that p38γ contributes to the ability of cells to cope with UV exposure by regulating the checkpoint signaling pathways and the repair of damaged DNA.

Gcn2p regulates a G1/S cell cycle checkpoint in response to DNA damage

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Gcn2p kinase controls a gene expression program in response to nutrient deprivation. Upon amino acid deprivation Gcn2p phosphorylates the translation initiation factor 2a subunit (eIF2a). Phosphorylation of eIF2a transiently inhibits translation initiation, and favours selective translation of the GCN4 transcription factor mRNA. High levels of Gcn4p then activate the expression of genes encoding amino acid biosynthesis pathways. Besides nutrient deprivation, Gcn2p can also be activated by other stresses such as DNA damage. Previous studies in our lab suggested that Gcn2p regulated other cellular pathways apart from translation initiation. To gain insights into these new regulatory roles of Gcn2p, we generated a strain called (GCN2c) expressing a constitutively active Gcn2p kinase mutant. In the GCN2c strain, phosphorylation of eIF2a and translation of a GCN4-lacz reporter was constitutively high in the absence of amino acid starvation. We investigated the transcriptional profile of the GCN2c mutant strain by cDNA microarrays. As expected, numerous amino acid biosynthetic genes were upregulated, being dependent of Gcn4p. Most interestingly, expression of genes encoding proteins involved in DNA replication/repair was decreased, suggesting that Gcn2p could regulate cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. Accordingly, the Gcn2c strain exhibited, i) slow growth, ii) a delayed entry into S phase, and iii) hypersensitivity to hydroxyurea. In addition, MMS treatment induced a G1 checkpoint and a growth defect which was dependent on Gcn2p and Gcn3p. Considering that MMS delays cell cycle progression by generating DNA lesions, the findings suggest that DNA damage induces a G1/S checkpoint by a novel pathway involving the protein kinase Gcn2p.

Myt1 overexpression mediates resistance to cell cycle and DNA damage checkpoint kinase inhibitors.

Project description:Cell cycle checkpoint kinases serve as important therapeutic targets for various cancers. When they are inhibited by small molecules, checkpoint abrogation can induce cell death or further sensitize cancer cells to other genotoxic therapies. Particularly aberrant Cdk1 activation at the G2/M checkpoint by kinase inhibitors causing unscheduled mitotic entry and mitotic arrest was found to lead to DNA damage and cell death selectively in cancer cells. Promising drugs inhibiting kinases like Wee1 (Adavosertib), Wee1+Myt1 (PD166285), ATR (AZD6738) and Chk1 (UCN-01) have been developed, but clinical data has shown variable efficacy for them with poorly understood mechanisms of resistance. Our lab recently identified Myt1 as a predictive biomarker of acquired resistance to the Wee1 kinase inhibitor, Adavosertib. Here, we investigate the role of Myt1 overexpression in promoting resistance to inhibitors (PD166285, UCN-01 and AZD6738) of other kinases regulating cell cycle progression. We demonstrate that Myt1 confers resistance by compensating Cdk1 inhibition in the presence of these different kinase inhibitors. Myt1 overexpression leads to reduced premature mitotic entry and decreased length of mitosis eventually leading to increased survival rates in Adavosertib treated cells. Elevated Myt1 levels also conferred resistance to inhibitors of ATR or Chk1 inhibitor. Our data supports that Myt1 overexpression is a common mechanism by which cancer cells can acquire resistance to a variety of drugs entering the clinic that aim to induce mitotic catastrophe by abrogating the G2/M checkpoint.
