Transcription-Replication conflicts are linked to histone H3K79 methylation and R-loop dependent nucleosome eviction [BrdUseq]

ABSTRACT: Transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) can provoke genome instability. Progressing transcription and replication machineries profoundly impact their underlying chromatin template and thus, conflict sites are vulnerable to chromatin and epigenome alterations. Here, we engineered an inducible TRC reporter system using a genome-integrated R-loop-prone sequence. Using this system, we characterized the dynamic changes of the local chromatin structure inflicted by TRCs, leading to reduced nucleosome occupancy and replication fork blockage. Consequently, inducing a handful TRCs on the genome results in a measurable global replication stress response. We also find a TRC-specific increase in H3K79 methylation at the R-loop forming TRC-site. Accordingly, inhibition of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L leads to increased cellular TRCs and exacerbated DNA damage response, suggesting that deposition of this mark is required for effective detection and resolution of TRCs. Thus, our work highlights the molecular dynamics and reveals specific epigenetic modifiers bookmarking TRC sites, relevant to cancer and other diseases.

BRCA2 suppresses “head-on” transcription-replication conflicts incurred by dormant origin firing at transcription termination sites [Ok-seq]

Project description:BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor protein responsible for safeguarding the cellular genome from genotoxicity and replication stress, but the mechanism(s) by which this is achieved remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence that BRCA2 acts as a critical suppressor of “head-on” transcription-replication conflicts (HO-TRCs). Using Okazaki-fragment sequencing (Ok-seq) and computational analysis, we identified new origins (dormant origins) that are activated near the transcription termination sites (TTS) of highly expressed, long genes in response to replication stress. Dormant origins are a source for HO-TRCs, and drug treatments that inhibit dormant origin firing led to a reduction in HO-TRCs, R-loop formation, and DNA damage. Using super-resolution microscopy, we showed that HO-TRC events track with elongating RNA polymerase II, but not with transcription initiation. Importantly, RNaseH2 is recruited to sites of HO-TRCs in a BRCA2-dependent manner to help alleviate toxic R-loops associated with HO-TRCs. Collectively, our results identify a new source of genomic instability caused by HO-TRCs in BRCA2-deficient ovarian cancer precursor cells, providing a new strategy in modulating HO-TRCs to enhance genomic instability

Genome-wide Mapping of Topoisomerase Binding Sites Suggests Topoisomerase 3a (TOP3A) as a Reader of Transcription-Replication Conflicts (TRC)

Project description:Both transcription and replication can take place simultaneously on the same DNA template, potentially leading to transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) and topological problems. Here we asked which topoisomerase(s) is/are the best candidate(s) for sensing TRC. Genome-wide topoisomerase binding sites were mapped in parallel for all the nuclear topoisomerases (TOP1, TOP2A, TOP2B, TOP3A and TOP3B). To increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), we used ectopic expression of those topoisomerases in H293 cells followed by a modified CUT&Tag method. Although each topoisomerase showed distinct binding patterns, all topoisomerase binding signals positively correlated with gene transcription. TOP3A binding signals were suppressed by DNA replication inhibition. This was also observed but to a lesser extent for TOP2A and TOP2B. Hence, we propose the involvement of TOP3A in sensing both head-on TRCs (HO-TRCs) and codirectional TRCs (CD-TRCs). In which case, the TOP3A signals appear concentrated within the promoters and first 20 kb regions of the 5’ -end of genes, suggesting the prevalence of TRCs and the recruitment of TOP3A in the 5’-regions of transcribed and replicated genes.

H3K79 methylation - cell cycle

Project description:Mammalian DNA replication starts at distinct chromosomal sites in a tissue-specific pattern coordinated with transcription, but previous studies have not yet identified a chromatin modification that correlates with the initiation of DNA replication. This submission is associated with a paper in which we report that replication initiation events are associated with a high frequency of methylation of histone H3 on lysine K79 (H3K79Me2 and H3K79Me3). H3K79Me2-containing chromatin exhibited the highest enrichment of replication initiation events observed in a single chromatin modification. Importantly, H3K79 methylation was enriched in chromatin containing a replicator (a DNA sequence capable of initiating DNA replication), but not in chromatin containing a mutant replicator that could not initiate replication. The association of H3K79Me2 with replication initiation sites was independent and not synergistic with other chromatin modifications. H3K79 methylation exhibited a wider distribution and greater abundance during S-phase, but regions of chromatin that were only modified during S-phase were not enriched in replication initiation events. In addition, the paper shows that depletion of DOT1L, the sole enzyme responsible for H3K79 methylation, triggered limited genomic over-replication. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that methylation of H3K79 associates with replication origins and marks replicated chromatin during S-phase to prevent re-replication and preserve genomic stability. Evaluation of HeK79 methylation in chromatin samples from cell cycle fractionated K562 leukemia cells. Unsyncrhonized untreated cultures of K562 cells were fractionated by size using centrifugal elutriation. Chromatin was isolated and subject to ChIP-Seq with antibodies directed against dimethylated and trimethylated lysine on histone H3.

H3K4 methylation at active genes mitigates transcription-replication conflicts during replication stress

Project description:Methylated H3K4 (H3K4me) is highly conserved and has been widely considered to be involved in transcriptional control. However, this once popular model was recently challenged by multiple groups, because blocking this modification does not appreciably affect transcription. Thus, the function of the H3K4me remains unclear. To investigate how H3K4 methylation influences the processes of transcription and replication under HU-stress, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify genomic sites of active transcription marked by Rpb3, a subunit of RNA Polymerase II, and sites of replication pausing marked by DNA Pol2, a subunit of DNA Polymerase e. Our data lead us to the surprising conclusion that H3K4me pauses the progression of replication forks, and we propose that high levels of H3K4me deposited by high transcriptional activity result in a large cushioning effect on fork progression to protect against transcription-replication collisions (TRCs), which cause genome instability.

KDM2B is a Histone H3K79 Demethylase and Induces Transcriptional Repression via SIRT1-mediated Chromatin Silencing

Project description:The methylation of histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) acts as an active chromatin marker and is enriched in actively transcribed regions of the genome. However, demethylase of this mark remains unknown despite intensive research. Here, we show that KDM2B (FBXL10), a member of the Jumonji C (JmjC) family of proteins and previously known for its histone H3K36 demethylase activity, is a di- and trimethyl H3K79 demethylase. We demonstrate that KDM2B induces transcriptional repression of HOXA7 and MEIS1 via occupancy of promoters and demethylation of H3K79. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis suggests that H3K79 methylation levels are increased when KDM2B is depleted, suggesting that KDM2B functions as an H3K79 demethylase in vivo. Finally, stable KDM2B-knockdown cell lines exhibited displacement of SIRT1, with concomitant increases in H3K79 methylation and H4K16 acetylation. Our findings identify KDM2B as an H3K79 demethylase and link its function to transcriptional repression via SIRT1-mediated chromatin silencing.
