Timeless collaborates with DDX11 to ensure processive replication of G4-forming DNA [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Regions of DNA with the potential to form secondary structure pose a frequent and significant impediment to DNA replication that must be actively countered by cells in order to preserve genetic and epigenetic integrity. The fork protection complex (FPC), a conserved group of replisome-associated proteins, comprising Timeless, plays an important role in maintaining efficient replisome function. A previously unappreciated DNA binding domain in the C terminus of Timeless, which exhibits specificity towards G4 structures, acts in collaboration with the DDX11 helicase to ensure replication of G4 structures in vivo and maintenance of genetic and epigenetic stability. Using RNA-seq experiments, we show that (i) Timeless and DDX11 share common gene targets, (ii) the promoter of Timeless- and DDX11-dependent genes are enriched in G4 structures in the vicinity of their promoter and (iii) both Timeless and DDX11 share a common set of gene targets with the FANCJ helicase known to maintain epigenetic stability in the vicinity of G4 structures.

Separable functions of Tof1/Timeless in intra-S-checkpoint signalling, replisome stability and DNA topological stress

Project description:The highly conserved Tof1/Timeless proteins minimise replication stress and promote normal DNA replication. They are required to mediate the DNA replication checkpoint (DRC), the stable pausing of forks at protein fork blocks, the coupling of DNA helicase and polymerase functions during replication stress (RS) and the preferential resolution of DNA topological stress ahead of the fork. Here we demonstrate that the roles of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Timeless protein Tof1 in DRC signalling and resolution of DNA topological stress require distinct N and C terminal regions of the protein, whereas the other functions of Tof1 are closely linked to the stable interaction between Tof1 and its constitutive binding partner Csm3/Tipin. By separating the role of Tof1 in DRC from fork stabilisation and coupling, we show that Tof1 has distinct activities in checkpoint activation and replisome stability to ensure the viable completion of DNA replication following replication stress.

TIMELESS haploinsufficiency induces a PARG-dependency that is rescued by nucleoside supplementation, thus mimicking intrinsic PARG inhibitor sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells

Project description:A subset of cancer cells are intrinsically sensitive to inhibitors targeting PARG, the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase that degrades PAR chains. Sensitivity is accompanied by persistent DNA replication stress, and can be induced by inhibition of TIMELESS, a replisome accelerator. However, the nature of the oncogenic vulnerability responsible for intrinsic sensitivity remains undetermined. To understand PARG activity dependency, we analyzed Timeless model systems and intrinsically sensitive ovarian cancer cells. We show that nucleoside supplementation rescues all phenotypes associated with PARG inhibitor sensitivity, including replisome speed and fork-restart ability, S-phase completion and mitotic entry, proliferation dynamics and clonogenic potential, in both a TIMELESShaploinsufficient model and intrinsically sensitive cells. Importantly nucleoside supplementation restores PARG inhibitor resistance without reverting PAR chain accumulation, indicating that sensitivity correlates with PAR chain intolerance. We show that inhibition of thymidylate synthase, an enzyme required for dNTP homeostasis, induces PARG-dependency, and, using label-free, quantitative proteomics, we show that PKMYT1, a negative regulator of CDK1, is overexpressed in PARG inhibitor-sensitive cells. Together, these observations suggest that PARG inhibitor sensitivity reflects an inability to control replisome speed and/or maintain helicase-polymerase coupling in response to nucleotide imbalances, in turn applying selective pressure on mitotic entry controls to maintain genome integrity.

Fork Pausing Complex Engages Topoisomerases at the Replisome

Project description:Replication forks temporarily or terminally pause at hundreds of hard-to-replicate regions around the genome. A conserved pair of budding yeast replisome components Tof1-Csm3 (fission yeast Swi1-Swi3 and human TIMELESS-TIPIN) acts as a ‘molecular brake’ and promotes fork slowdown at proteinaceous replication fork barriers (RFBs), while the accessory helicase Rrm3 assists the replisome in removing protein obstacles. Here we show that Tof1-Csm3 complex promotes fork pausing independently of Rrm3 helicase by recruiting topoisomerase I (Top1) to the replisome. Topoisomerase II (Top2) partially compensates for the pausing decrease in cells when Top1 is lost from the replisome. The C-terminus of Tof1 is specifically required for Top1 recruitment to the replisome and fork pausing but not for DNA replication checkpoint (DRC) activation. We propose that forks pause at proteinaceous RFBs through a ‘sTOP’ mechanism (‘slowing down with TOPoisomerases I-II’), which we show also contributes to protecting cells from topoisomerase-blocking agents.

Multistep mechanism of G-quadruplex resolution during DNA replication

Project description:G-quadruplex (or G4) structures are non-canonical DNA structures that form in guanine-rich sequences and threaten genome stability when not properly resolved. G4 unwinding occurs during S phase via an unknown mechanism. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we define a three-step G4 unwinding mechanism that acts during DNA replication. First, the replicative helicase (CMG) stalls at a leading strand G4 structure. Second, the DHX36 helicase mediates the bypass of the CMG past the intact G4 structure, which allows approach of the leading strand to the G4. Third, G4 structure unwinding by the FANCJ helicase enables the DNA polymerase to synthesize past the G4 motif. A G4 on the lagging strand template does not stall CMG, but still requires active DNA replication for unwinding. DHX36 and FANCJ have partially redundant roles, conferring robustness to this pathway. Our data reveal a novel genome maintenance pathway that promotes faithful G4 replication thereby avoiding genome instability.

The essential Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pfh1 DNA helicase promotes fork movement past G-quadruplex motifs to prevent DNA damage

Project description:Background G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable non-canonical DNA secondary structures consisting of stacked arrays of four guanines, each held together by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. Sequences with the ability to form these structures in vitro, G4 motifs, are found throughout bacterial and eukaryotic genomes. The budding yeast Pif1 DNA helicase, as well as several bacterial Pif1 family helicases, unwind G4 structures robustly in vitro and suppress G4-induced DNA damage in S. cerevisiae in vivo. Results We determined the genomic distribution and evolutionary conservation of G4 motifs in four fission yeast species and investigated the relationship between G4 motifs and Pfh1, the sole S. pombe Pif1 family helicase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with deep sequencing, we found that many G4 motifs in the S. pombe genome were associated with Pfh1. Cells depleted of Pfh1 had increased fork pausing and DNA damage near G4 motifs, as indicated by high DNA polymerase occupancy and phosphorylated histone H2A, respectively. In general, G4 motifs were underrepresented in genes. However, Pfh1-associated G4 motifs were located on the transcribed strand of highly transcribed genes significantly more often than expected, suggesting that Pfh1 has a function in replication or transcription at these sites. Conclusions In the absence of functional Pfh1, unresolved G4 structures cause fork pausing and DNA damage of the sort associated with human tumors.

Circadian protein TIMELESS regulates synaptic plasticity and memory by modulating cAMP signaling

Project description:Regulation of neurons by circadian clock genes is thought to contribute to the maintenance of neuronal functions that ultimately underlie animal behavior. However, the impact of circadian genes on cellular and molecular mechanisms that influnce synaptic plasticity and cognitive function remain to be identified. Here, we show that conditional deletion of the circadian gene Timeless in the adult forebrain leads to an impairment in working and fear memory in mice. These cognitive phenotypes were accompanied with LTP attenuation of hippocampal Schaffer-collateral synapses. We discovered TIMELESS protein acts as a transcriptional factor regulating phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) expression. Through Pde4b transcription, TIMELESS negatively regulates cAMP signaling to modulate AMPA receptor GluA1 function and fine-tune synaptic plasticity. Our data provide insights into the neuron-specific function of mammalian TIMELESS by defining a mechanism that regulates synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.

YY1 is involved in homologous recombination inhibition at guanine quadruplex sites in human cells

Project description:Homologous recombination (HR) is a key process for repairing DNA double strand breaks and for promoting genetic diversity, and it occurs unevenly throughout the genome. G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable secondary structures widely present across the genome, which function in regulating gene transcription and maintaining genome stability. However, elevated G4 levels by BLM (RecQ like helicase unwinding G4) depletion can significantly drive HR at these G4 sites, which may threaten genome stability. Here, we investigated the role of Yin Yang-1 (YY1) in modulating HR at G4 sites. To elucidate G4 sites on the genome, cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) of BG4, a G4 specific antibody, was conducted.

Origin-Dependent DNA Replication in vitro: Insights into DDK and S-CDK function and Replisome Assembly

Project description:Initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires temporal separation of helicase loading from helicase activation and replisome assembly. Using an in vitro assay for eukaryotic origin-dependent replication initiation, we investigated the control of these events. After helicase loading, we found that the Dbf4-dependent Cdc7 kinase (DDK) initially drives origin recruitment of Sld3 and the Cdc45 helicase-activating protein. Corresponding in vivo studies found that DDK was required for Cdc45 binding at early origins during G1. Upon activation of S-phase cyclin-dependent kinases (S-CDK), a second helicase-activating protein (GINS) and the remainder of the replisome are recruited to the origin. Investigation of DNA polymerase recruitment showed that Mcm10 and DNA unwinding both were critical for recruitment of the lagging but not leading strand DNA polymerases. Our studies identify distinct roles for DDK and S-CDK during helicase activation and support a model in which the leading strand DNA polymerase is recruited prior to DNA unwinding and initial RNA primer synthesis. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) against Cdc45 in CDC7 and cdc7-4 cells arrested in G1 phase to assess the requirement of the Dbf4-dependent kinase on the recruitment of Cdc45 to origin DNA during G1.
