DNA polymerase η contributes to lagging strand synthesis

ABSTRACT: DNA polymerase eta (pol eta) is best known for its ability to bypass UV-induced thymine-thymine (T-T) dimers and other bulky DNA lesions, but pol eta also has other cellular roles. Here, we present evidence that pol eta competes with DNA polymerases alpha and delta for the synthesis of the lagging strand genome-wide, where it also shows a preference for T-T in the DNA template. Moreover, we found that the C-terminus of pol eta which contains a PCNA-Interacting Protein motif is required for pol eta to function in lagging strand synthesis. Finally, we provide evidence that a pol η dependent signature is also found to be lagging strand specific in patients with skin cancer. Taken together, these findings provide insight into the physiological role of DNA synthesis by pol eta and have implications for our understanding of how our genome is replicated to avoid mutagenesis, genome instability and cancer.

The PCNA-Pol d complex couples lagging strand DNA synthesis to parental histone transfer

Project description:How parental histone H3-H4 tetramers, the primary carrier of epigenetic modifications, are transferred to leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks following DNA replication is an important question that remains not well understood. Here we show that DNA polymerase clamp PCNA and its partner involved in lagging strand DNA synthesis, Pol d, regulate parental histone transfer to lagging strands. Mutations at PCNA as well as at subunits of Pol d that impair the PCNA-Pol d interaction affect parental histone transfer to lagging strands, and this defect unlikely arises from their impacts on DNA synthesis. Moreover, Pol d interacts with H3-H4 in vitro. We suggest that the PCNA-Pol d complex, best known for its role in lagging strand DNA synthesis and DNA repair, couples lagging strand DNA synthesis to the transfer of the parental histones H3-H4 for the inheritance of chromatin structures following DNA replication and possibly DNA repair.

Reduced cellular levels of DNA polymerase delta alter replication-fork dynamics and enzymology, and globally impair lagging-strand processing

Project description:DNA polymerase delta (Pol ∂) plays several essential roles in eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. At the replication fork, Pol ∂ is responsible for the synthesis and processing of the lagging strand; this role requires Pol ∂ to extend Okazaki fragment primers synthesized by Pol ⍺-primase, and to carry out strand-displacement synthesis coupled to nuclease cleavage during Okazaki fragment termination. Destabilizing mutations in human Pol ∂ subunits cause replication stress and syndromic immunodeficiency. Analogously, reduced levels of Pol ∂ in Saccharomyces cerevisiae lead to pervasive genome instability. Here, we analyze the how the depletion of Pol ∂ impacts replication initiation and elongation in vivo in S. cerevisiae. We determine that Pol ∂ depletion leads to a dependence on checkpoint signaling and recombination-mediated repair for cellular viability. By analyzing nascent lagging-strand products, we observe both a genome-wide change in the establishment and progression of replication forks and a global defect in Pol ∂-mediated Okazaki fragment processing. Additionally, we detect significant lagging-strand synthesis by the leading-strand polymerase (Pol ɛ) in late regions of the genome when Pol ∂ is depleted.

Rad53 checkpoint kinase couples leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis

Project description:In response to DNA replication stress, DNA replication checkpoint is activated to maintain fork stability, a process critical for maintenance of genome stability. However, how DNA replication checkpoint regulates replication forks remain elusive. Here we show that Rad53, a highly conserved replication checkpoint kinase, functions to couple leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis. In wild type cells under HU induced replication stress, synthesis of lagging strand, which contains ssDNA gaps, is comparable to leading strand DNA. In contrast, synthesis of lagging strand is much more than leading strand, and consequently, leading template ssDNA coated with ssDNA binding protein RPA was detected in rad53-1 mutant cells, suggesting that synthesis of leading strand and lagging strand DNA is uncoupled. Mechanistically, we show that replicative helicase MCM and leading strand DNA polymerase Pole move beyond actual DNA synthesis and that an increase in dNTP pools largely suppresses the uncoupled leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis. Our studies reveal an unexpected mechanism whereby Rad53 regulates replication fork stability.

Genome-wide tracking of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase V to the lagging strand during the SOS response

Project description:Ribonucleotides are frequently incorporated into DNA and can be used as a marker of DNA replication enzymology. To investigate on a genome-wide scale, how E. coli pol V accesses undamaged chromosomal DNA during the SOS response, we mapped the location of ribonucleotides incorporated by steric gate variants of pol V across the entire E. coli genome. To do so, we used strains that are deficient in ribonucleotide excision repair (DrnhB), constitutively express all SOS-regulated genes [lexA(Def)] and constitutively “activated” RecA* (recA730). The strains also harbor two steric gate variants of E. coli pol V (Y11A or F10L), or a homolog of pol V, (pol VR391-Y13A). Ribonucleotides are frequently incorporated by the pol V-Y11A and pol VR391-Y13A variants, with a preference to the lagging strand. In contrast, the pol V-F10L variant incorporates less ribonucleotides and no strand preference was observed. Sharp transitions in strand specificity are observed at replication origin (oriC), while a gradient is observed at the termination region. To activate RecA* in a recA+ strain, we treated the strains with ciprofloxacin and genome-wide mapped the location of the incorporated ribonucleotides. Again, the polV-Y11A steric gate variant, exhibited a lagging strand preference. Our data is consistent with a specific role for pol V in lagging strand DNA synthesis across the entire E. coli genome during the SOS response.

Genome-wide mapping proteins at replication forks in the yeast S. cerevisiae

Project description:Faithful duplication of DNA is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability in all organisms. DNA synthesis proceeds bi-directionally with continuous synthesis of leading strand DNA and discontinuous synthesis of lagging strand DNA. Herein, we describe a method of enriching and Sequencing of Protein-Associated Nascent strand DNA (eSPAN) to detect whether a protein binds the leading- and lagging-strands of DNA replication forks. We show that Pol-epsilon, PCNA, Cdc45, Mcm6 and Mcm10 preferentially associate with leading strands, whereas Pol-alpha, Pol32, Pol-delta, Rfa1 and Rfc1 associate with lagging strands of hydroxyurea (HU)-stalled replication forks. In contrast, PCNA is enriched at lagging strands of normal replication forks in wild type cells and HU-stalled forks in cells lacking Elg1. These studies demonstrate a strategy to reveal proteins at leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks, and suggest that the unloading of PCNA from lagging strands of HU-stalled replication forks helps maintain genome integrity.

Post-replicative nick translation occurs on the lagging strand during prolonged depletion of DNA ligase I in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:During lagging-strand synthesis, strand-displacement synthesis by DNA polymerase delta (Pol ∂), coupled to nucleolytic cleavage of DNA flap structures, combine to produce a nick translation reaction that replaces the DNA at the 5’ end of the preceding Okazaki fragment. Previous work following depletion of DNA ligase I in Saccharomyces cerevisae suggests that DNA-bound proteins, principally nucleosomes and the transcription factors Abf1/Rap1/Reb1, pose a barrier to Pol ∂ synthesis and thereby limit the extent of nick translation in vivo. However, the extended ligase depletion required for these experiments could lead to ongoing, non-physiological nick translation. Here, we investigate nick translation by analyzing Okazaki fragments purified after transient nuclear depletion of DNA ligase I in synchronized or asynchronous S. cerevisiae cultures. We observe that, even with a short ligase depletion, Okazaki fragment termini are enriched around nucleosomes and Abf1/Reb1/Rap1 binding sites. However protracted ligase depletion leads to a global change in the location of these termini, moving them towards nucleosome dyads from a more upstream location and further enriching termini at Abf1/Reb1/Rap1 binding sites. Additionally, we observe an under-representation of DNA derived from DNA polymerase alpha – the polymerase that initiates Okazaki fragment synthesis – around the sites of Okazaki termini obtained from transient ligase depletion. Our data suggest that, while nucleosomes and transcription factors do limit strand-displacement synthesis by Pol ∂ in vivo, post-replicative nick translation can occur at unligated Okazaki fragment termini such that previous analyses represent an overestimate of the extent of nick translation occurring during normal lagging-strand synthesis.

The Mcm2-Ctf4-Pola axis facilitates parental histone transfer to lagging strands

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

DNA polymerase α interacts with H3-H4 and facilitates the transfer to parental histones to lagging strand

Project description:How parental histones, the carriers of epigenetic modifications, are deposited onto replicating DNA remains poorly understood. Here, we develop the eSPAN method (enrichment and sequencing of protein associated nascent DNA) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, which detects the distribution of histones with distinct modifications on leading and lagging strands in a relatively small number of cells. We show that DNA polymerase α (Pol α), which synthesizes primers used for synthesis of both leading and lagging strands, binds histone H3-H4 preferentially. The Pol α mutant defective in histone binding in vitro impairs the transfer of parental H3-H4 to lagging strand in both yeast and mouse ES cells. Finally, dysregulation of both coding genes and non-coding endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is detected in mutant ES cells defective in parental histone transfer. Together, we report an efficient eSPAN method for analysis of DNA replication coupled processes in mouse ES cells and reveal the mechanism of Pol α in parental histone transfer.

Intrinsic Coupling of Lagging Strand Synthesis to Chromatin Assembly

Project description:We show that ligation-competent Okazaki fragments in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are sized according to the chromatin repeat. Using deep sequencing, we demonstrate that ligation junctions preferentially occur around nucleosome midpoints rather than in internucleosomal linker regions. Disrupting chromatin assembly or lagging strand polymerase processivity impacts both the size and the distribution of Okazaki fragments, suggesting a role for nascent chromatin, assembled immediately after the passage of the replication fork, in the termination of lagging strand synthesis. Our studies represent the first high-resolution analysis of eukaryotic Okazaki fragments in vivo, and establish a mechanistic link between the fundamental processes of DNA replication and chromatin assembly. 4 samples: replicate samples of wild-type and pol32 knockout
