STK19 accelerates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII to facilitate transcription-coupled DNA repair

ABSTRACT: Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) removes bulky DNA lesions impeding RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. Recent studies have outlined the stepwise assembly of TCR factors CSB, CSA, UVSSA, and TFIIH around lesion-stalled RNAPII. However, the mechanism and factors required for the transition to downstream repair steps, including RNAPII removal to provide repair proteins access to the DNA lesion, remain unclear. Here, we identify STK19 as a new TCR factor facilitating this transition. Loss of STK19 does not impact initial TCR complex assembly or RNAPII ubiquitylation but delays lesion-stalled RNAPII clearance, thereby interfering with the downstream repair reaction. Cryo-EM and mutational analysis reveal that STK19 associates with the TCR complex, positioning itself between RNAPII, UVSSA, and CSA. The structural insights and molecular modeling suggest that STK19 positions the ATPase subunits of TFIIH onto DNA in front of RNAPII. Together, these findings provide new insights into the factors and mechanisms required for TCR.

GFP-CSB and GFP-UVSSA Domain-specific interactors

Project description:The response to DNA damage-stalled RNA polymerase II (RNAPIIo) involves the assembly of the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) complex on actively transcribed strands. The function of the TCR proteins CSB, CSA and UVSSA and the manner in which the core DNA repair complex, including transcription factor IIH (TFIIH), is recruited are largely unknown. Here, we define the assembly mechanism of the TCR complex in human isogenic knockout cells. We show that TCR is initiated by RNAPIIobound CSB, which recruits CSA through a newly identified CSA-interaction motif (CIM). Once recruited, CSA facilitates the association of UVSSA with stalled RNAPIIo. Importantly, we find that UVSSA is the key factor that recruits the TFIIH complex in a manner that is stimulated by CSB and CSA. Together these findings reveal a sequential and highly cooperative assembly mechanism of TCR proteins and reveal the mechanism for TFIIH recruitment to DNA damage-stalled RNAPIIo to initiate repair.

STK19 drives transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair by stimulating Pol II ubiquitylation and TFIIH recruitment

Project description:DNA damage forms a major obstacle for gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) efficiently eliminates transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs), thereby safeguarding accurate transcription, preserving correct cellular function and counteracting aging. TC-NER initiation involves the recognition of lesion-stalled Pol II by CSB, which recruits the CRL4CSA E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and UVSSA. TBL-induced Pol II ubiquitylation at lysine K1268 by CRL4CSA serves as a critical TC-NER checkpoint, governing Pol II stability and initiating TBL excision by TFIIH recruitment. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms of the CRL4CSA E3 ligase activity and TFIIH recruitment remains elusive. Here, we reveal Serine/Threonine Kinase 19 (STK19) as a novel TC-NER factor. Cryo-EM studies revealed that STK19 is an integral part of the Pol II-TC‐NER complex, bridging CSA with UVSSA, RPB1 and downstream DNA. Live-cell imaging and interaction proteomics shows that STK19 stimulates TC-NER complex stability and proper CRL4CSA complex assembly, resulting in Pol II (K1268) ubiquitylation and subsequent UVSSA and TFIIH recruitment. These findings underscore the crucial role of STK19 as a core component of the TC-NER machinery and its key involvement to the cellular responses to genomic injuries that interfere with transcription.

Structural basis of human transcription-DNA repair coupling

Project description:Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) efficiently removes bulky DNA lesions from transcribed parts of the genome and constitutes a major defence against DNA damage by UV irradiation. TCR begins when RNA polymerase II (Pol II) stalls at a DNA lesion and recruits the Cockayne syndrome protein CsB, the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CsA, and the UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (UVSSA). Here we provide five high-resolution structures of Pol II transcription complexes with bound TCR factors and complementary biochemical data. Together with published work, our results converge on a model for the molecular mechanism of transcription-DNA repair coupling. In this model, Pol II stalling triggers the formation of an alternative transcription elongation complex that we call ECact. In ECact, CsB has replaced the elongation factor DSIF, binds the PAF1 complex, and repositions upstream DNA such that it contacts the elongation factor SPT6. The CsB translocase now pulls on the upstream DNA template, thereby pushing Pol II forward. If the lesion cannot be bypassed, Pol II gets stably stalled. CRL4CsA spans over the Pol II clamp to reach the Pol II jaw and direct ubiquitination of RPB1 residue lysine-1268. This triggers the recruitment of TFIIH to UVSSA, which is located at downstream DNA, and enables nucleotide excision repair. Finally, large-scale conformational changes in CRL4CsA enable ubiquitination of CsB and the release of TCR factors, thereby allowing Pol II to resume elongation and continue transcription over repaired DNA.

ELOF1 anchors CRL4CSA to RNA pol II to activate transcription-coupled repair

Project description:Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) removes transcription-blocking DNA lesions through the coordinated assembly of repair factors on arrested RNA polymerase II (Pol II). This process requires the site-specific ubiquitylation of Pol II by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase. Pol II ubiquitylation is facilitated by ELOF1, a recently identified TCR factor. Using cryogenic electron microscopy, biochemical assays, and cell biology, we reveal that ELOF1 functions as an adaptor to correctly dock CRL4CSA onto Pol II and facilitate the recruitment of UVSSA. The ELOF1-CSA-UVSSA interaction positions CRL4CSA on arrested Pol II, leading to its ubiquitylation upon ligase activation by neddylation. ELOF1-mediated repositioning enables a TFIIS-like element in UVSSA to reach the Pol II active site and the pore region to prevent Pol II re-activation. These findings provide the structural and molecular basis underlying the transition of Pol II from a transcriptionally active to an arrested state, primed for DNA repair.

eXcision Repair-sequencing (XR-seq) to map UV induced damage in U2OS cells and in U2OS cells in which CSA or UVSSA genes were knocked out

Project description:We used eXcision Repair-sequencing (XR-seq) to map UV induced damage in U2OS cells and in U2OS cells in which CSA or UVSSA genes were knocked out. Complementation of UVSSA knockout with WT or mutant proteins shows UVSSA is a core component of human transcription coupled repair.

ELOF1 is a transcription-coupled DNA repair factor that directs RNA polymerase II ubiquitylation

Project description:Cells employ transcription-coupled repair (TCR) to eliminate transcription-blocking DNA lesions. DNA damage-induced binding of the TCR-specific repair factor CSB to RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) triggers RNAPII ubiquitylation at a single lysine (K1268) by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase. How CRL4CSA is specifically directed toward the K1268 site is unknown. Here, we identify ELOF1 as the missing link that facilitates RNAPII ubiquitylation, a key signal for the assembly of downstream repair factors. This function requires its constitutive interaction with RNAPII close to the K1268 site, revealing ELOF1 as a specificity factor that interacts with and positions CRL4CSA for optimal RNAPII ubiquitylation. Drug-genetic interaction screening also reveals a CSB-independent compensatory pathway in which ELOF1 protects cells against DNA replication stress by preventing DNA damage-induced R-loops. Our study offers key insights into the molecular mechanisms of TCR and provides a genetic framework of the interplay between the transcriptional stress response and DNA replication.

Survival of cells with deregulated MYC requires UVSSA-dependent regulation of RNAPII dynamics

Project description:Cancer cells develop strong genetic dependencies enabling survival under oncogenic stress. MYC is a key oncogene activated across most cancers, and identifying associated synthetic lethality can provide important clues about its activity and potential therapeutic strategies. Based on previously conducted genome-wide screenings we identified UVSSA, a gene involved in transcription-coupled repair whose knockdown decreased cell viability when combined with MYC activation. Synthetic lethal interactions between MYC expression and UVSSA loss correlated with ATM/CHK2 activation, suggesting increased genome instability. We show that although the synthetic lethal interaction was diminished by attenuating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) activity, it becomes independent of UV-induced damage repair, suggesting that UVSSA has a critical function in regulating transcription in the absence of exogenous DNA damage. Supporting this hypothesis, RNAPII-ChIP-seq revealed that MYC-dependent increase in RNAPII promoter occupancy, as well as RNAPII stalling, is reduced or abrogated by UVSSA knockdown, suggesting that UVSSA negatively regulates MYC-dependent transcription. Taken together, our data shows that the UVSSA complex is required to limit MYC-dependent transcription stress and to maintain cell survival. While the role of UVSSA in regulating RNAPII dynamics has only been documented thus far in the context of UV-induced DNA damage repair, we propose that its activity is also required to cope with transcription stress induced by oncogene activation.

ELOF1 is a transcription-coupled DNA repair factor that directs RNA polymerase II ubiquitylation

Project description:Removal of transcription-blocking DNA lesions requires the binding of transcription-coupled repair (TCR) factors to DNA damage-stalled RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The full repertoire of factors required for TCR remains to be elucidated. Through genome-wide CRISPR screens and strand-specific ChIP-seq, we identify the RNAPII-associated factor ELOF1 as a new core TCR component. Mechanistically, ELOF1 does not affect the association of TCR components CSB and the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase, but instead regulates RNAPII ubiquitylation, and subsequent ubiquitin-dependent recruitment of repair factors. This function requires its constitutive interaction with RNAPII close to the K1268 site, revealing ELOF1 as a specificity factor that positions CRL4CSA for optimal RNAPII ubiquitylation to orchestrate transcription-coupled repair. Finally, ELOF1 operates in a second transcription stress-response pathway, regulated by the deubiquitylating enzyme OTUD5.
