ERCC6L2 mitigates replication stress and promotes centromere stability [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Structurally complex genomic regions, such as centromeres, are inherently difficult to duplicate. The mechanism that underlies centromere inheritance is not well understood, and one of the key questions relates to the reassembly of centromeric chromatin following DNA replication. Here we define the SNF2 ATPase ERCC6L2 as a key regulator of this process. ERCC6L2 accumulates at centromeres and promotes efficient deposition of core centromeric factors. Our genomic analyses show that ERCC6L2 deficiency erodes centromeric chromatin, leading to unrestrained replication of centromeric DNA. We also establish that, beyond centromeres, ERCC6L2 facilitates replication at genomic repeats and non-canonical DNA structures. Notably, ERCC6L2 interacts with the major DNA replication factor PCNA through an atypical peptide, presented here as a co-crystal structure. Finally, we examine ERCC6L2 activities at DNA breaks, and show that it acts to restrict end resection independently of the 53BP1-REV7-Shieldin complex. Our observations allow us to propose a mechanistic model of ERCC6L2 activity, which reconciles its seemingly distinct functions in DNA repair and DNA replication. Together, these findings provide a new molecular context for studies linking ERCC6L2 to human disease.

ERCC6L2 suppresses chromosome translocation

Project description:ERCC6L2 is a recently characterized component in DNA damage repair. To investigate its function in chromosome translocation, we conducted a study using K562 and HEK293T cell lines. We introduced twinned DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) or genome-wide DSBs into these cell lines via nucleofection and transfection, respectively. Subsequently, we employed high-throughput genome translocation sequencing (HTGTS) to capture the translocation events (i.e., ligation between "prey(s)" and "bait") and the rejoining events (i.e., direct repair within the "bait" locus) under different conditions, including with or without ERCC6L2 deletion. We quantified the number of translocation events by normalizing them to the number of rejoining events, denoted as TL. Interestingly, ERCC6L2 deletion led to an increase in TL, indicating a higher frequency of translocations.

53BP1 cooperation with the REV7–shieldin complex underpins DNA structure-specific NHEJ

Project description:53BP1 governs a specialized, context-specific branch of the classical non-homologous end joining DNA double-strand break repair pathway. Mice lacking 53bp1 (also known as Trp53bp1) are immunodeficient owing to a complete loss of immunoglobulin class-switch recombination, and reduced fidelity of long-range V(D)J recombination. The 53BP1-dependent pathway is also responsible for pathological joining events at dysfunctional telomeres, and its unrestricted activity in Brca1-deficient cellular and tumour models causes genomic instability and oncogenesis. Cells that lack core non-homologous end joining proteins are profoundly radiosensitive, unlike 53BP1-deficient cells, which suggests that 53BP1 and its co-factors act on specific DNA substrates. Here we show that 53BP1 cooperates with its downstream effector protein REV7 to promote non-homologous end joining during class-switch recombination, but REV7 is not required for 53BP1-dependent V(D)J recombination. We identify shieldin—a four-subunit putative single-stranded DNA-binding complex comprising REV7, c20orf196 (SHLD1), FAM35A (SHLD2) and FLJ26957 (SHLD3)— as the factor that explains this specificity. Shieldin is essential for REV7-dependent DNA end-protection and non-homologous end joining during class-switch recombination, and supports toxic non-homologous end joining in Brca1-deficient cells, yet is dispensable for REV7-dependent interstrand cross-link repair. The 53BP1 pathway therefore comprises distinct double-strand break repair activities within chromatin and single-stranded DNA compartments, which explains both the immunological differences between 53bp1- and Rev7- deficient mice and the context specificity of the pathway.

Germline ERCC6L2 mutations lead to impaired erythropoiesis and reshaping of the bone marrow niche

Project description:Despite the inclusion of inherited myeloid malignancies as a separate entity in the WHO Classification, our understanding of the etiology of familial leukemia remains limited. ERCC6L2-deficiency is a rare, life-threatening inherited condition that gives rise to bone marrow failure (BMF), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) resulting from germline mutations in DNA repair factor ERCC6L2. Here we employ a lentiviral shRNA approach to functionally characterize the impact of ERCC6L2 loss on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). By combining cell culture assays and transcriptomic analysis of knockdown and ERCC6L2-mutated patient cells, we find that ERCC6L2-deficiency reduces HSPC clonogenic potential and delays erythropoiesis, while in MSCs it induces a significant lineage skewing, with increased osteogenesis and suppressed adipogenesis. Altogether, we demonstrate that ERCC6L2-deficiency impacts both hematopoietic and stromal compartments, and that our ex vivo model recapitulates patient phenotypes, providing a robust system to study germline mutations in hematological malignancies.

Epigenetically-inherited centromere and neocentromere DNA replicates earliest in S-phase

Project description:In order to address the replication timing of the centromeres in yeast Candida albicans, we have determined at high temporal and spatial resolution its genome-wide DNA replication timing profile. This was done by sorting S- and G1-phase cells by FACS and hybridizing DNA from both fractions onto genomic tiling arrays. Data was normalized, organized by chromosomal positition, and smoothed. Replication timing is inferred from the DNA copy number along the chromosome with data peaks corresponding to predicted origins of DNA replication. We observe that the centromeric loci coincide with replication origins that are the first to replicate on each chromosome. We further analyzed replication timing in strain 9929s, in which the centromere of chromosome 5 was deleted and a neocentromere has formed at a distant location. A replication origin, again the first to replicate, appeared at the site of neocentromere formation. We conclude that centromeres cause their own early and distinct DNA replication timing.

Identification and characterization of centromeric sequences in Xenopus laevis

Project description:Centromeres play an essential role in cell division by specifying the site of kinetochore formation on each chromosome so that chromosomes can attach to the mitotic spindle for segregation. Centromeres are defined epigenetically by the histone H3 variant CEntromere Protein A (CENP-A). Dividing cells maintain the centromere by depositing new CENP-A each cell cycle to replenish CENP-A diluted by replication. The CENP-A nucleosome serves as the primary signal to the machinery responsible for its replenishment. Vertebrate centromeres are frequently built on repetitive sequences organized in tandem arrays. Repetitive centromeric DNA has been suggested to play a role in centromere maintenance and in de novo centromere formation, but this has been difficult to dissect because of the difficulty in manipulating centromere in cells. Extracts from Xenopus laevis eggs are able to assemble centromeres and kinetochores in vitro and thus provide a useful system for studying the role of centromeric DNA in centromere formation. However centromeric sequences in X. laevis have not been extensively characterized.. In this study we characterize repeat sequences found at X. laevis centromeres. We utilize a k-mer based approach in order to uncover the previously unknown diversity of X. laevis centromeric sequences. We validate centromere localization of repeat sequences by in situ hybridization and identify the location of the centromeric repetitive array on each chromosome by mapping the distribution of centromere enriched k-mers on the Xenopus genome. Our identification of X. laevis centromere sequences enables previously unapproachable genomic studies of centromeres. The k-mer based approach that we used to investigate centromeric repetitive DNA is suitable for the analysis of other repetitive sequences found across the genome or the study of repeats in other organisms.
