DNA lesions can frequently precede DNA:RNA hybrid accumulation [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: While DNA:RNA hybrids contribute to multiple genomic transactions, their unscheduled formation is a recognized source of DNA lesions. Here, through a suite of systematic screens, we rather observed that a wide range of yeast mutant situations primarily triggering DNA damage actually leads to hybrid accumulation. Focusing on Okazaki fragment processing, we established that genic hybrids can actually form as a consequence of replication-born discontinuities such as unprocessed flaps or unligated Okazaki fragments. Strikingly, such “post-lesion” DNA:RNA hybrids neither detectably contribute to genetic instability, nor disturb gene expression, as opposed to “pre-lesion” hybrids formed upon defective mRNA biogenesis, e.g., THO complex mutants. Post-lesion hybrids similarly arise in distinct genomic instability situations, triggered by pharmacological or genetic manipulation of DNA-dependent processes, both in yeast and human cells. Altogether, our data establish that the accumulation of transcription-born DNA:RNA hybrids can occur as a consequence of various types of natural or pathological DNA lesions, yet do not necessarily aggravate their genotoxicity.

A role for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rtt109 histone acetyltransferase in R-loop homeostasis and associated genome instability

Project description:The stability of the genome is occasionally challenged by the formation of DNA-RNA hybrids and R-loops, which can be influenced by the chromatin context. This is mainly due to the fact that DNA-RNA hybrids hamper the progression of replication forks, leading to fork stalling and, ultimately, DNA breaks. Through a specific screening of chromatin modifiers performed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have found that the Rtt109 histone acetyltransferase is involved in several steps of R-loop-metabolism and their associated genetic instability. On one hand, Rtt109 prevents DNA-RNA hybridization by the acetylation of histone H3 lysines 14 and 23, and on the other hand, it is involved in the repair of replication-born DNA breaks, such as those that can be caused by R-loops, by acetylating lysines 14 and 56. In addition, Rtt109 loss renders cells highly sensitive to replication stress in combination with R-loop-accumulating THO-complex mutants. Our data evidence that the chromatin context simultaneously influences the occurrence of DNA-RNA hybrid-associated DNA damage and its repair, adding complexity to the source of R-loop-associated genetic instability.

Next-generation sequencing of Okazaki fragments extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:We investigated the genome-wide distribution of Okazaki fragments in the commonly used laboratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288C to study the DNA replication model adopted by the budding yeast. The method based upon lambda exonuclease digestion for purification of RNA-primed replication intermediates was first improved to be suitable for the purification of Okazaki fragments. Then, we used this improved method to purify Okazaki fragments from S288C yeast cells, followed by Illumina sequencing. We found that the expected asymmetric distribution of Okazaki fragments around confirmed replication origins, which was derived from the semi-discontinuous DNA replication model, was not observed on S. cerevisiae chromosomes. Even around two highly efficient replication origins, ARS522 and ARS416, the ratios of Okazaki fragments on both strands were inconsistent with the semi-discontinuous DNA replication model. Our study supported the discontinuous DNA replication model. Besides, we also observed that Okazaki fragments were overpresented in the transcribed regions in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial genome, which indicated the interplay between transcription and DNA replication. Examination of the distribution of Okazaki fragments in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288C.

ChIP-on-chip of Sgs1 and gammaH2A and DNA:RNA hybrids in wild type and SGS1 mutants

Project description:Sgs1 is a DNA helicase with roles in DNA replication and repair. DNA repair proteins have been linked to genome instability in part by altering the landscape of DNA:RNA hybrids. Here, we mapped the Sgs1 binding profile along with the profile of DNA:RNA hybrids and gammaH2A genome-wide in an effort to identify direct vs indirect effects of Sgs1 in DNA:RNA hybrid and gammaH2A distribution. The wild type DNA:RNA hybrid sample was reported previously in E-MTAB-2388.

DNA sequencing coverage in wild type and RNase H deficient Bacillus subtilis cells [1]

Project description:RNA-DNA hybrids form throughout the chromosome during normal cell growth and under stress conditions. When left unresolved, RNA-DNA hybrids can slow replication fork progression, cause DNA breaks, increase mutagenesis, and reduce gene expression. To remove hybrids, all organisms use ribonuclease H (RNase H) to specifically degrade the RNA portion of RNA-DNA hybrids. Here we show that, in addition to chromosomally encoded RNase HII and RNase HIII, Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610 encodes a previously uncharacterized RNase HI protein, RnhP, on the endogenous plasmid pBS32. Like other RNase HI enzymes, RnhP incises Okazaki fragments, ribopatches, and a complementary RNA-DNA hybrid. We show that while chromosomally encoded RNase HIII is required for pBS32 hyper-replication, RnhP compensates for loss of RNase HIII activity on the chromosome. Consequently, loss of RnhP and RNase HIII impairs bacterial growth. We show that the decreased growth rate can be explained by laggard replication fork progression near the terminus region of the right replichore resulting in SOS-dependent inhibition of cell division. We conclude that B. subtilis NCIB 3610 encodes functional RNase HI, HII, and HIII, and pBS32-encoded RNase HI contributes to replication fork progression and chromosome stability while RNase HIII is important for chromosome stability and plasmid hyper-replication.

Reduced cellular levels of DNA polymerase delta alter replication-fork dynamics and enzymology, and globally impair lagging-strand processing

Project description:DNA polymerase delta (Pol ∂) plays several essential roles in eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. At the replication fork, Pol ∂ is responsible for the synthesis and processing of the lagging strand; this role requires Pol ∂ to extend Okazaki fragment primers synthesized by Pol ⍺-primase, and to carry out strand-displacement synthesis coupled to nuclease cleavage during Okazaki fragment termination. Destabilizing mutations in human Pol ∂ subunits cause replication stress and syndromic immunodeficiency. Analogously, reduced levels of Pol ∂ in Saccharomyces cerevisiae lead to pervasive genome instability. Here, we analyze the how the depletion of Pol ∂ impacts replication initiation and elongation in vivo in S. cerevisiae. We determine that Pol ∂ depletion leads to a dependence on checkpoint signaling and recombination-mediated repair for cellular viability. By analyzing nascent lagging-strand products, we observe both a genome-wide change in the establishment and progression of replication forks and a global defect in Pol ∂-mediated Okazaki fragment processing. Additionally, we detect significant lagging-strand synthesis by the leading-strand polymerase (Pol ɛ) in late regions of the genome when Pol ∂ is depleted.

Unchanged PCNA and DNMT1 dynamics during replication in DNA ligase I-deficient cells but abnormal chromatin levels of non-replicative histone H1

Project description:DNA ligase I (LigI), the predominant enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments, interacts with PCNA and Pol d. LigI also interacts with UHRF1, linking Okazaki fragment joining with DNA maintenance methylation. Okazaki fragments can also be joined by a relatively poorly characterized DNA ligase IIIa (LigIIIa)-dependent backup pathway. Here we examined the effect of LigI-deficiency on proteins at the replication fork. Notably, LigI-deficiency did not alter the kinetics of association of the PCNA clamp, the leading strand polymerase Pol e, DNA maintenance methylation proteins and core histones with newly synthesized DNA. While the absence of major changes in replication and methylation proteins is consistent with the similar proliferation rate and DNA methylation levels of the LIG1 null cells compared with the parental cells, the increased levels of LigIIIa/XRCC1 and Pol d at the replication fork and in bulk chromatin indicate that there are subtle replication defects in the absence of LigI. Interestingly, the non-replicative histone H1 variant, H1.0, is present in the chromatin of LigI-deficient mouse and human cells. This alteration was not corrected by expression of wild type LigI, suggesting that it is a stable epigenetic change that may contribute to the immunodeficiencies linked with inherited LigI-deficiency syndrome.

Genomewide nucleotide-resolution mapping of single-strand breaks and lesions by GLOE-Seq [Human_Ligase_inactivation]

Project description:Numerous methods are available for the mapping of DNA lesions ranging from double-strand breaks (DSBs) to incorporated ribonucleotides. We now present a technology based on the Genomewide Ligation of 3’-OH Ends (GLOE-Seq) and an associated computational pipeline designed for single-stranded breaks (SSBs), but versatile enough to be applied to any lesion that is convertible into a free 3’-OH terminus. We demonstrate its applicability to the mapping of Okazaki fragments without prior size selection and detect biases and asymmetries in the distribution of spontaneous SSBs in budding yeast and human DNA.
