Project description:The hereditary information encoded in DNA sequence is intrinsically susceptible to alterations, being continually threatened by a variety of genotoxic perturbations. To safeguard the stability of the genome, eukaryotic cells have evolved a set of sophisticated surveillance system that controls several aspects of the cellular response, including the detection of DNA lesions, a temporary cell cycle arrest, regulation of transcription, and the repair of the damaged DNA. However, it is still poorly understood how the DNA damage checkpoints and stalled RNAPII molecules convert a very limited amount of molecular-level information (even a single DNA lesion) in the context of an otherwise genome into regulation that halts and resumes the cell-cycle engine in a coordinated way. In this study, we reveal a map of extensive lncRNA transcription during DDR by using synchronized cells, leading to the unexpected identification of a poorly characterized mammalian lncRNA-ZFAS1. We describe that ZFAS1 functions as a key player of cellular response to DNA damage in both human and rodent cells by fine tuning RNAPII kinetics, suggesting a lncRNA-dependent transcriptional regulatory axis that maintains genomic stability upon DNA damage in mammalian cells.

Project description:Numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are generated in response to external stimuli, but the scope and functions of such activity are not known. Here, we provide insight into how the transcription of lncRNAs are connected to DNA damage response by identifying a lncRNA ZFAS1, which is required for cell cycle arrest, transcription regulation and DNA repair. Mechanistically, ZFAS1 facilitates the changing hyperphosphorylated forms of the large subunit of RNAPII around transcription initiation sites by directly targeting the regulated genes. We revealed extensive transcription shutdown and concomitant stimulated engagement of RNAPII-Ser2P are crucial for repair and cell survival upon genotoxic stress. Finally, ZFAS1 knockout in mice dampened transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) and led to kidney dysplasia. Our study extends the understanding of lncRNAs in DNA damage repair (DDR) and implies a protective role of lncRNA against DDR-deficient developmental disorders.
