ZFP281-BRCA2 prevents R-loop accumulation during DNA replication

ABSTRACT: R-loops are prevalent in mammalian genomes and involved in many fundamental cellular processes. Depletion of BRCA2 leads to aberrant R-loop accumulation, contributing to genome instability. Here, we show that ZFP281 cooperates with BRCA2 in preventing R-loop accumulation to facilitate DNA replication in embryonic stem cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that ZFP281 can interact with BRCA2, and that BRCA2 is enriched at G/C-rich promoters and requires both ZFP281 and PRC2 for its proper recruitment to the bivalent chromatin at the genome-wide scale. Furthermore, depletion of ZFP281 or BRCA2 leads to accumulation of R-loops over the bivalent regions, and compromises activation of the developmental genes by retinoic acid during stem cell differentiation. In summary, our results reveal that ZFP281 recruits BRCA2 to the bivalent chromatin regions to ensure proper progression of DNA replication through preventing persistent R-loops.

MiDAS in BRCA2-deficient cells originate at early S-phase transcription-replication conflicts

Project description:Multiple replication abnormalities cause cells lacking BRCA2 to enter mitosis with under-replicated DNA and to activate mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS). However, the precise position of these MiDAS sites, as well as their origin, remains unknown. Here we labelled mitotic nascent DNA and performed high-throughput sequencing to identify at high-resolution the sites where MiDAS occurs in the absence of BRCA2. This approach revealed 150 genomic loci affected by MiDAS, which map within regions replicating during early S-phase and are therefore distinct from the aphidicolin-induced common fragile sites. Moreover, these sites largely localise near early firing origins and within genes transcribed in early S, suggesting that they stem from transcription-replication conflicts (TCRs). Inhibiting transcription with 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) during early S-phase abrogates MiDAS. Strikingly, MiDAS sites co-localise with genomic loci where R-loops form in unchallenged conditions, suggesting that R-loop accumulation caused by BRCA2 inactivation leads to DNA lesion which are repaired by MiDAS. RAD52 is required in this process, as its abrogation in BRCA2-deficient cells reduces the rate of MiDAS and causes DNA damage accumulation in G1. Furthermore, MiDAS sites triggered by BRCA2 inactivation are hotspots for genomic rearrangement in BRCA2-mutated breast tumours. These results indicate that BRCA2 acts in early S-phase to protect TRC- and R-loop-induced DNA lesions, thereby preventing them from becoming a source of genomic instability and tumorigenesis.

Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators

Project description:R-loops are three stranded nucleic acid structures that accumulate on chromatin in neurological diseases and cancers and that contribute to genome instability. Using a proximity-dependent labeling system, we identified distinct classes of proteins that regulate R-loops in vivo through different mechanisms. We show that ATRX suppresses R-loops by interacting with RNAs and preventing R-loop formation. Our proteomics screen also discovered an unexpected enrichment for proteins containing zinc fingers and homeodomains at R-loops. One of the most consistently enriched proteins at R-loops was activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), which is frequently mutated in ASD and causal in ADNP syndrome. We find that ADNP is necessary to suppress R-loops in vivo at its genomic targets and that it resolves R-loops in vitro. Furthermore, deletion of the homeodomain severely diminishes R-loop resolution activity in vitro, results in R-loop accumulation at ADNP targets and compromises neuronal differentiation. Notably, patient derived human induced pluripotent stem cells that contain an ADNP syndrome-causing mutation exhibit R-loop and CTCF accumulation at ADNP targets. Our findings point to a specific role for ADNP-mediated R-loop resolution in physiological and pathological neuronal function and, more broadly, to a previously unappreciated role for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins in R-loop regulation, with important implications for developmental disorders and cancers.

ZFP281 coordinates DNMT3 and TET1 in pluripotent state transitions [STEM-seq]

Project description:The progression and transition between the naïve, formative, and primed pluripotent states are accompanied by a sharp activation of the de novo DNA methyltransferases and the reorganization of transcriptional and epigenetic landscapes. Here we identified Zinc Finger Protein 281 (ZFP281) as an essential factor in the formative-to-primed pluripotent state transition. Using a knockout mouse model and a knockin degron cell system, we revealed that transcription of Dnmt3a/3b depends on the activity of ZFP281 in embryonic stem cells, epiblast-like cells, and epiblast stem cells. Mechanically, chromatin-bound ZFP281 and DNA hydroxylase TET1 are decreased in the formative state but recovered in the primed state to compete with DNMT3A/3B for establishing the DNA methylation and gene expression programs of primed pluripotency. In addition, chromatin occupancy of ZFP281 and TET1 depend on the R-loop structures formed at the ZFP281 target gene promoters devoid of DNA methylation. Our study demonstrates a comprehensive role of ZFP281 in modulating DNA methylation and demethylation for the establishment and maintenance of primed pluripotency.

RAD52 resolves transcription-replication conflicts to mitigate R-loop induced genome instability

Project description:Collisions of the transcription and replication machineries on the same DNA strand can pose a significant threat to genomic stability. These collisions occur in part due to the formation of RNA-DNA hybrids termed R-loops, in which a newly transcribed RNA molecule hybridizes with the DNA template strand. This study investigated the role of RAD52, a known DNA repair factor, in preventing collisions by directing R-loop formation and resolution. We show that RAD52 deficiency increases R-loop accumulation, exacerbating collisions and resulting in elevated DNA damage. Furthermore, RAD52's ability to interact with the transcription machinery, coupled with its capacity to facilitate R-loop dissolution, highlights its role in preventing collisions. Lastly, we provide evidence of an increased mutational burden from double-strand breaks at conserved R-loop sites in human tumor samples, which is increased in tumors with low RAD52 expression. In summary, this study underscores the importance of RAD52 in orchestrating the balance between replication and transcription processes to prevent collisions and maintain genome stability.

ATAD5 regulates R-loop by maintaining RNA helicase level and unloading PCNA at the replication fork

Project description:R-loops are formed when replicative forks collide with the transcriptional machinery and can cause genomic instability. However, it is unclear how R-loops are regulated at transcription-replication conflicts (TRC) sites and how replisome proteins are regulated to prevent R-loop formation or mediate R-loop tolerance. Here, we report that ATAD5, a PCNA unloader, plays dual functions to reduce R-loops both under normal and replication stress conditions. ATAD5 interacts with RNA helicases such as DDX1, DDX5, DDX21 and DHX9 and increases the abundance of these helicases at replication forks to facilitate R-loop resolution. Depletion of ATAD5 or RNA helicases consistently increases R-loops during the S phase and reduces the replication rate, both of which are enhanced by replication stress. In addition to R-loop resolution, ATAD5 prevents the generation of new R-loops behind the replication forks by unloading PCNA which, otherwise, accumulates and persists on DNA, causing a collision with the transcription machinery. Depletion of ATAD5 reduces transcription rates due to PCNA accumulation. Consistent with the role of ATAD5 and RNA helicases in maintaining genomic integrity by regulating R-loops, the corresponding genes were mutated or downregulated in several human tumors.

DDX17 helicase promotes resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts in human cells

Project description:R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures composed of an RNA:DNA hybrid and displaced DNA strand. These structures can halt DNA replication when formed co- transcriptionally in the opposite orientation to replication fork progression. Recent studies have shown that replication forks stalled by co-transcription R-loops can be restarted by a mechanism involving fork cleavage by MUS81 endonuclease, followed by reactivation of transcription, and fork religation by the DNA ligase IV (LIG4)/XRCC4 complex. However, how R-loops are eliminated to allow the sequential restart of transcription and replication in this pathway remains elusive. Here, we identified the human DDX17 helicase as a factor that associates with R-loops and counteracts R-loop-mediated replication stress to preserve genome stability. We show that DDX17 unwinds RNA:DNA hybrids in vitro and promotes MUS81-dependent restart of R-loop-stalled forks in human cells in a manner dependent on its helicase activity. Loss of DDX17 helicase induces accumulation of R-loops and the formation of R-loop-dependent anaphase bridges and micronuclei. These findings establish DDX17 as a component of the MUS81-LIG4 pathway for resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription- replication conflicts, which may be involved in R-loop unwinding.
