Topoisomerase I suppresses genomic instability by preventing interference between replication and transcription

ABSTRACT: Topoisomerase I (Top1) is a key enzyme acting at the interface between DNA replication, transcription and mRNA maturation. Here, we show that Top1 suppresses genomic instability in mammalian cells by preventing conflicts between transcription and DNA replication. Using DNA combing and ChIP-on-chip, we found that Top1-deficient cells accumulate stalled replication forks and chromosome breaks in S phase and that breaks occur preferentially at gene-rich regions of the genome. Strikingly, these phenotypes were suppressed by preventing the formation of RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loops) during transcription. Moreover, these defects could be mimicked by depletion of the splicing factor ASF/SF2, which interacts functionally with Top1. Taken together, these data indicate that Top1 prevents replication fork collapse by suppressing the formation of R-loops in an ASF/SF2-dependent manner. We propose that interference between replication and transcription represents a major source of spontaneous replication stress, which could drive genomic instability during early stages of tumorigenesis.

Topoisomerase 1 prevents replication stress at R-loop-enriched transcription termination sites

Project description:R-loops have both positive and negative impacts on chromosome functions. To identify toxic R-loops in the human genome, we have mapped RNA:DNA hybrids, replication stress markers and DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in cells depleted for Topoisomerase I (Top1), an enzyme that relaxes DNA supercoiling and prevents R-loop formation. RNA:DNA hybrids were found at both promoters (TSS) and terminators (TTS) of highly expressed genes. In contrast, the phosphorylation of RPA by ATR was only detected at TTS, which are preferentially replicated in a head-on orientation relative to the direction of transcription. In Top1-depleted cells, DSBs also cumulated at TTS, leading to persistent checkpoint activation, spreading of -H2AX on chromatin and global replication fork slowdown. These data indicate that fork pausing at the TTS of highly expressed genes containing R-loops prevents head-on conflicts between replication and transcription and maintains genome integrity in a Top1-dependent manner.

Mapping of TOP1cc and R-loops im MCF-7 after TOP1 KD and/or RNase H OE [CHiP_DRIP_Seq]

Project description:DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) pose a significant threat to genomic integrity, and their generation during essential cellular processes like transcription remains poorly understood. In this study, we employed DRIP-seq and ChIP-seq to map the change in TOP1cc and R-loops after the depletion of TOP1 and R-loops, to comprehensively investigate the interplay between transcription, DSBs, Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1), and R-loops. Our findings revealed the presence of DSBs at highly expressed genes enriched with TOP1 and R-loops, indicating their crucial involvement in transcription-associated genomic instability. Depletion of R-loops and TOP1 specifically reduced DSBs at highly expressed genes, uncovering their pivotal roles in transcriptional DSB formation. By elucidating the intricate interplay between TOP1cc trapping, R-loops, and DSBs, our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying transcription-associated genomic instability. Moreover, we establish a link between transcriptional DSBs and early molecular changes driving cancer development. Notably, our study highlights the distinct etiology and molecular characteristics of driver mutations compared to passenger mutations, shedding light on the potential for targeted therapeutic strategies. Overall, these findings deepen our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing DSBs in hypertranscribed genes associated with carcinogenesis, opening avenues for future research and therapeutic interventions.

TDP1 phosphorylation at S61 promotes Top1cc repair via the MUS81-dependent pathway during mitosis

Project description:Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) removes supercoils from DNA during replication and transcription, is critical for mitotic progression to the G1 phase, and ensures DNA topology. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) mediates the removal of trapped Top1-DNA covalent complexes (Top1ccs). Here, we identify CDK1-dependent phosphorylation of TDP1 at S61 residue during mitosis. TDP1 defective for S61 phosphorylation (TDP1S61A) is trapped on the mitotic chromosomes, triggering DNA damage and mitotic defects. Moreover, we show that Top1cc repair in mitosis occurs via MUS81-dependent mitotic DNA repair mechanism. Replication stress (RS) induced by Camptothecin (CPT) or Aphidicolin (APH) leads to TDP1S61A enrichment at common fragile sites (CFSs), which over-stimulates MUS81-dependent chromatid breaks, anaphase bridges, and micronuclei, ultimately culminating in 53BP1 nuclear bodies in the G1-phase. Our findings provide a new insight into the cell cycle-dependent regulation of TDP1 dynamics forthe repair of trapped Top1ccs during mitosis that prevents genomic instability following RS.

Topoisomerase 1 dependent R-loop deficiency drives accelerated replication and genomic instability

Project description:DNA replication is a complex process tightly regulated to ensure faithful genome duplication, and its perturbation leads to DNA damage and genomic instability. Replication stress is commonly associated with slow and stalled replication forks. Recently, accelerated replication has emerged as a non-canonical form of replication stress. However, the molecular basis underlying fork acceleration is largely unknown. Here we show that mutated HRAS activation leads to increased topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) expression leading to aberrant replication fork acceleration and DNA damage by decreasing RNA-DNA hybrids or R-loops. In these cells, restoration of TOP1 expression or mild replication inhibition rescues the perturbed replication and reduces DNA damage. Furthermore, TOP1 or RNaseH1 overexpression induces accelerated replication and DNA damage, highlighting the importance of TOP1 equilibrium in regulating R-loop homeostasis to ensure faithful DNA replication and genome integrity. Altogether, our results reveal a novel mechanism of oncogene-induced DNA damage induced by aberrant replication fork acceleration.

TEX264 coordinates p97- and SPRTN-mediated resolution of topoisomerase 1-DNA adducts

Project description:Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) regulates DNA topology to ensure efficient DNA replication and transcription. TOP1 is also a major driver of endogenous genome instability, particularly when its catalytic intermediate - a covalent TOP1-DNA adduct known as a TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) - is stabilised. TOP1ccs are highly cytotoxic and a failure to resolve them underlies the pathology of neurological disorders but is also exploited in cancer therapy where TOP1ccs are the target of widely used frontline anti-cancer drugs. A critical enzyme for TOP1cc resolution is the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase, TDP1, which hydrolyses the bond that links a tyrosine in the active site of TOP1 to a 3’ phosphate group on a single-stranded (ss)DNA break. However, TDP1 can only process small peptide fragments from ssDNA ends, raising the question of how the ~90 kDa TOP1 protein is processed upstream of TDP1. We find that TEX264 fulfils this role by forming a complex with the p97 ATPase and the SPRTN metalloprotease. We show that TEX264 recognises both unmodified and SUMO1-modifed TOP1 and initiates TOP1cc repair by recruiting p97 and SPRTN. TEX264 localises to the nuclear periphery, associates with DNA replication forks, and counteracts TOP1ccs during DNA replication. Altogether, our study elucidates the existence of a specialised repair complex required for upstream proteolysis of TOP1ccs and their subsequent resolution.

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.

R-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instabilityR-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instability

Project description:Transcription can pose a threat to genomic stability through the formation of R-loops that obstruct the progression of replication forks. R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA-DNA hybrid with a displaced non-template DNA strand. We developed RDProx to identify proteins that regulate R-loops in human cells. RDProx relies on the expression of the hybrid-binding domain (HBD) of Ribonuclease H1 (RNaseH1) fused to the ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2), which permits mapping of the R-loop proximal proteome using quantitative mass spectrometry. We associated R-loop regulation with different cellular proteins and identified a role of the tumor suppressor DEAD box protein 41 (DDX41) in opposing R-loop-dependent genomic instability. Depletion of DDX41 resulted in replication stress, double strand breaks and increased inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, DDX41 opposes accumulation of R-loops at gene promoters and its loss leads to upregulated expression of TGFβ and NOTCH signaling genes. Germline loss-of-function mutations in DDX41 lead to predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adulthood. We propose that accumulation of co-transcriptional R-loops, associated gene expression changes and inflammatory response contribute to the development of familial AML with mutated DDX41.
