Deep indel mutagenesis reveals the impact of insertions and deletions on protein stability and function

ABSTRACT: Amino acid insertions and deletions (indels) are an abundant class of genetic variants. However, compared to substitutions, the effects of indels are not well understood and poorly predicted. Here we address this shortcoming by performing deep indel mutagenesis (DIM) of structurally diverse proteins. Indel tolerance is strikingly different to substitution tolerance and varies extensively both between different proteins and within different regions of the same protein. Although state of the art variant effect predictors perform poorly on indels, we show that both experimentally-measured and computationally-predicted substitution scores can be repurposed as good indel variant effect predictors by incorporating information on protein secondary structures. Quantifying the effects of indels on protein-protein interactions reveals that insertions can be an important class of gain-of-function variants. Our results provide an overview of the impact of indels on proteins and a method to predict their effects genome-wide.

Systematic characterization of indel variants using a yeast-based protein folding sensor

Project description:Gene variants resulting in insertions or deletions of amino acid residues (indels) have important consequences for evolution and are often linked to disease, yet compared to missense variants the effects of indels are poorly understood and ineptly predicted. To approach this issue, we developed a sensitive protein folding sensor based on complementation of uracil auxotrophy in yeast by circular permutated orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (CPOP). The sensor accurately reports on the folding of disease-linked missense variants and artificially designed proteins. Applying the folding sensor to a saturated library of single amino acid indel variants in human DHFR revealed that most regions which tolerate indels are confined to internal loops and the N- and C-termini. Surprisingly, indels are also allowed at a central α-helix. Several indels are temperature-sensitive and the folding of most indels is rescued upon binding to the competitive DHFR inhibitor methotrexate. Predictions using Rosetta and AlphaFold2 correlate with the observed effects, suggesting that most indels operate by destabilizing the native fold and that these computational tools may be useful for classification of indels observed in population sequencing.

Mechanisms of insertions at a double strand break

Project description:Insertions and deletions (indels) are common sources of structural variation, and insertions originating from spontaneous DNA lesions are frequent in cancer. We developed a highly sensitive assay (Indel-Seq) to monitor rearrangements in human cells at the TRIM37 acceptor locus that reports indels stemming from experimentallyinduced and spontaneous genome instability. Templated insertions, which derive from sequences genome-wide, require contact between donor and acceptor loci, homologous recombination, and are stimulated by DNA end-processing. Insertions are facilitated by transcription and involve a DNA/RNA hybrid intermediate. Indel-Seq reveals that insertions are generated via multiple pathways. The broken acceptor site anneals with a resected DNA break or invades the displaced strand of a transcription bubble or R-loop followed by DNA synthesis, displacement and then ligation by nonhomologous end-joining. Our studies identify transcription-coupled insertions as a critical source of spontaneous genome instability that are distinct from cut-and-paste events

An atlas of amyloid aggregation: the impact of substitutions, insertions, deletions and truncations on amyloid beta fibril nucleation

Project description:Multiplexed assays of variant effects (MAVEs) guide clinical variant interpretation and reveal disease mechanisms. To date, MAVEs have focussed on a single mutation type - amino acid (AA) substitutions - despite the diversity of coding variants that cause disease. Here we use Deep Indel Mutagenesis (DIM) to generate the first comprehensive atlas of diverse variant effects for a disease protein, amyloid beta (Aß) that aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is mutated in familial AD (fAD). The atlas identifies known fAD variants and many mutations beyond substitutions that accelerate Aß aggregation. Truncations, substitutions, insertions, single- and multi-AA deletions differ in their propensity to enhance or impair aggregation, but likely pathogenic variants from all classes are strongly enriched in the polar N-terminus of Aß. This first comparative atlas for any disease gene highlights the importance of including diverse mutation types in MAVEs and provides important mechanistic insights into amyloid nucleation.

APOBEC3s induce mutations during the repair of CRISPR-Cas9-generated DNA breaks.

Project description:APOBEC-AID family of cytidine deaminase prefers single-stranded nucleic acids for cytidine to uracil deamination. Single-stranded nucleic acids are commonly involved in the DNA repair system for breaks generated by CRISPR-Cas9. Here, we show in human cells that APOBEC3s can trigger the cytidine deamination of single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides, which ultimately results in base substitution mutations in genomic DNA through the homology-directed repair (HDR) of Cas9-generated double-strand breaks . In addition, the APOBEC3-catalyzed deamination in genomic single-stranded DNA formed during the repair of Cas9 nickase-generated single-strand breaks can be further processed to yield mutations mainly involving insertions or deletions (indels). Mechanistically, both APOBEC3-mediated deamination and DNA repair proteins play important roles in the generation of these indels. Correspondingly, optimizing conditions for the repair of CRISPR-Cas9-generated DNA breaks, such as using double-stranded donors in HDR or temporarily suppressing endogenous APOBEC3s, can substantially repress these unwanted mutations in genomic DNA.

Systematic analysis of effects of naturally occurring insertions and deletions that alter transcription factor spacing identifies tolerant and sensitive transcription factor pairs [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Regulation of gene expression requires the combinatorial binding of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) at promoters and enhancers. Prior studies showed that alterations in the spacing between TF binding sites can influence promoter and enhancer activity. However, the relative importance of TF spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring insertions and deletions (InDels) has not been systematically analyzed. To address this question, we first characterized the genome-wide spacing relationships of 75 TFs in K562 cells as determined by ChIP-sequencing. We found a dominant pattern of a relaxed range of spacing between collaborative factors, including forty-six factors exclusively exhibiting relaxed spacing with their binding partners. Next, we exploited millions of InDels provided by genetically diverse mouse strains and human individuals to investigate the effects of altered spacing on TF binding and local histone acetylation. Spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring InDels are generally tolerated in comparison to genetic variants directly affecting TF binding sites. A remarkable range of tolerance was further established for PU.1 and C/EBPβ, which exhibit relaxed spacing, by introducing synthetic spacing alterations ranging from 5-bp increase to >30-bp decrease using CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis. These findings provide implications for understanding mechanisms underlying enhancer selection and for interpretation of non-coding genetic variation.
