Mechanism for local attenuation of DNA replication at double-strand breaks

ABSTRACT: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) destroy the continuity of our genome with consequences for malignant transformation. Massive DNA damage can elicit a cellular checkpoint response that prevents cell proliferation. However, how highly aggressive cancer cells, which can tolerate widespread DNA damage, respond to DSBs alongside continuous chromosome duplication is unknown. Here we show that DSBs induce a local, hitherto unreported genome maintenance mechanism that inhibits replication initiation in DSB-containing topologically associating domains (TADs) without affecting DNA synthesis at other genomic locations. This process is facilitated by Mediators of Replication and DSBs (MRDs). In normal and cancer cells, MRDs include the TIMELESS-TIPIN complex and the WEE1 kinase, which actively dislodges the TIMELESS-TIPIN complex from replication origins adjacent to DSBs and prevents initiation of DNA synthesis at DSB-containing TADs. Dysregulation of MRDs, or disruption of 3D chromatin architecture by dissolving TADs, results in inadvertent replication in damaged chromatin and increased DNA damage in cancer cells. We propose that the intact MRD cascade precedes DSB repair to prevent genomic instability, which is otherwise observed when replication is forced, or when genome architecture is challenged, in the presence of DSBs. These observations reveal a previously undiscovered vulnerability in the DNA replication machinery that may be exploited to therapeutically target cancer cells.

Chromatin compartmentalization regulates the response to DNA damage

Project description:DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) repair is essential to safeguard genome integrity but little is known about the contribution of chromosome folding into these processes. Here we unveiled basic principles of chromosome dynamics occurring post-DSB both locally and at a genome wide scale in mammalian cells. We report that topologically associating domains (TAD) that experience a DSB undergo acute ATM-dependent but DNAPK- independent changes. Within these damaged TADs, DSB-induced loop extrusion ensures local transcriptional regulation in response to DSBs. Damaged TADs further coalesce in an ATM-dependent manner, forming a new “D” compartment, where upregulated genes of the DNA damage response (DDR) physically localize suggesting a function of DSB clustering in activating the DNA damage Response. However, these alterations of chromosome folding induced by DSB also come at the expense of an increased translocations rate. Our work highlights the critical impact of chromosome conformation in the maintenance of genome integrity.

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.

Total protein abundances upon Mcm6 knockdown in the murine CH12 cells

Project description:Chromosomal translocations result from joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and frequently cause cancer. Yet, the steps linking DSB formation to DSB ligation remain undeciphered. We report that DNA replication timing (RT) directly regulates lymphomagenic Myc translocations during antibody maturation in B-cells downstream of DSBs and independently of DSB frequency. Depletion of minichromosome-maintenance (MCM) complexes alters replication origin activity, decreases translocations and abrogates global RT. Ablating a single origin at Myc causes an early-to-late RT switch, loss of translocations and reduced nuclear proximity with a translocation partner locus, phenotypes that were reversed by restoring early RT. Disruption of shared early RT also reduced tumorigenic translocations in human leukemic cells. Thus, RT constitutes a new, unprecedented mechanism in translocation biogenesis linking DSB formation to DSB ligation

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

DNA replication timing directly regulates the frequency of oncogenic chromosomal translocations

Project description:Chromosomal translocations result from the joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and frequentlycause cancer. However, the steps linking DSB formation to DSB ligation remain undeciphered. Wereport that DNA replication timing (RT) directly regulates lymphomagenicMyctranslocations duringantibody maturation in B cells downstream of DSBs and independently of DSB frequency. Depletion ofminichromosome maintenance complexes alters replication origin activity, decreases translocations,and deregulates global RT. Ablating a single origin atMyccauses an early-to-late RT switch, loss oftranslocations, and reduced proximity with the immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) gene, its majortranslocation partner. These phenotypes were reversed by restoring early RT. Disruption of early RT alsoreduced tumorigenic translocations in human leukemic cells. Thus, RT constitutes a general mechanismin translocation biogenesis linking DSB formation to DSB ligation.

Post-replicative formation of cohesion is required for repair and induced by a single DNA break

Project description:Sister chromatid cohesion, established during replication by the protein complex Cohesin, is essential for both chromosome segregation and double-strand break (DSB) repair. Normally cohesion formation is strictly limited to the S-phase of the cell cycle, but DSBs can trigger cohesion also after DNA replication has been completed. The function of this damage-induced cohesion remains unknown. In this investigation we show that it is essential for repair in post-replicative cells in yeast. Furthermore, it is established genome-wide after induction of a single DSB, and controlled by the DNA damage response and Cohesin regulating factors. We thus define a cohesion establishment pathway that is independent of DNA duplication and acts together with cohesion formed during replication in sister chromatid-based DSB repair. Keywords: ChIP-chip analysis

ARID1A regulates chromatin organization and establishment of epigenetic marks for DSB repair and transcription silencing

Project description:AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A), a SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex subunit, is frequently mutated across various cancer entities. ARID1A contributes to DNA damage response pathways, and we previously reported that ARID1A loss is associated with mutational signatures linked to DNA repair defects. Here we show that ARID1A is promoting both DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathways, non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). ARID1A is accumulated at DSBs after DNA damage and regulates the chromatin loop formation at DSB sites by interacting with the cohesin subunit RAD21 and CTCF insulator protein promoting their enrichment around the DSBs. Further analysis demonstrates that ARID1A’s involvement in DSB repair is accompanied by alterations of chromatin accessibility and distribution of activating histone marks at DSBs. ARID1A binds to and promotes the recruitment of the HDAC1 to control transcription repression at these DSBs. Altogether, ARID1A simultaneously regulates DSB repair and transcription silencing in transcriptionally active chromatin. ARID1A depletion resulted in defective DSB repair, which subsequently led to accumulation of micronuclei, activation of cGAS-STING pathway and an increased expression of immunomodulatory cytokines and chemokines upon IR treatment. Furthermore, low ARID1A expression in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy was associated with higher infiltration of several immune cells. The high mutation rate of ARID1A in various cancer types highlights its clinical relevance as a promising biomarker that correlates with the level of immune regulatory cytokines and can estimate the levels of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and response to combination of radio- and immunotherapy.

Multi-Dimensional Epigenetic Analysis Reveals Transcription as a Primary Driver of Radiation Induced Double Strand Break Recognition

Project description:DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) are a deleterious product of genotoxic agents or radiotherapy. Despite the inherent chromatin localization of DSBs, the literature has largely ignored the effect of local chromatin or histone post translational modifications (PTMs) on DSB induction or recognition especially in a therapy-relevant setting. Analysis of epigenetic linkages to the DNA Damage Response are challenging owing to the random nature of exogenous DSB induction. Here, we directly measure stochastic DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation (IR) and infer relationships between basal epigenetic states and cellular ability to detect DSBs. Contrary to the expected uniform localization of DSBs and γH2AX, we show that DSB recognition is separate from DSB induction and that both processes are dependent on the local chromatin milieu. In general, actively transcribed regions contain more γH2AX than heterochromatic regions suggesting a link between transcription and the DDR. In contrast to previous studies, we suggest that transcription proximal to DNA damage is necessary for early DSB detection and suggest a requirement for transcription mediated repair in genome maintenance. Finally, we reveal a dual effect of the repressive mark H3K27me3 on the DNA damage response. While basal H3K27me3 attenuates γH2AX deposition, transcribed regions recruit H3K27me3 following DSB induction possibly as an obligate step in DSB recognition. We uncover epigenetic determinants of DSB recognition and suggest new mechanisms by which the epigenome direct DNA repair. Our findings suggest new targets for radio-adjuvant therapy and reframe the current stochastic model of radiotherapy induced damage.

DNA replication and DSB factor binding in the meiotic S-phase checkpoint in budding yeast

Project description:During gamete formation, crossover recombination must occur on replicated DNA to ensure proper chromosome segregation in the first meiotic division. We identified a Mec1/ATR-dependent replication checkpoint in budding yeast that prevented the earliest stage of recombination, the programmed induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), when pre-meiotic DNA replication was delayed. The checkpoint suppressed DSBs through three complementary mechanisms: inhibition of Mer2 phosphorylation by Dbf4-dependent Cdc7 kinase, preclusion of chromosomal loading of Rec114 and Mre11, and lowered abundance of the Spo11 nuclease. Without this checkpoint, cells formed DSBs on partially replicated chromosomes. Importantly, such DSBs frequently failed to be repaired and impeded further DNA synthesis, leading to a rapid loss in cell viability. We conclude that a checkpoint-dependent constraint of DSB formation to duplicated DNA is critical not only for meiotic chromosome assortment, but also to protect genome integrity during gametogenesis. DSB factor association was measured in wild-type and checkpoint mutants strains under non-inducing or replication checkpoint inducing conditions. Additionally, DNA replication and helicase loading were measured in a replication and checkpoint deficient strain (cdc6-mn).
