NEAT1 Modulates the TIRR/53BP1 Complex to Maintain Genome Integrity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tudor Interacting Repair Regulator (TIRR) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that interacts directly with 53BP1, restricting its access to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and its association with p53. We utilized iCLIP to identify RNAs that directly bind to TIRR within cells, identifying NEAT1_1, the short isoform of the long noncoding RNA NEAT1, as the primary RNA partner. The high affinity of TIRR for NEAT1_1 is due to prevalent G-rich motifs in NEAT1_1. This interaction destabilizes the TIRR/53BP1 complex, promoting 53BP1's function. NEAT1_1 is enriched during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, thereby ensuring that TIRR-dependent inhibition of 53BP1’s function is cell cycle-dependent. TDP-43, an RBP that is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, modulates the TIRR/53BP1 complex by promoting NEAT1_1 production. Together, we infer that NEAT1_1, and factors regulating NEAT1_1, may impact 53BP1-dependent DNA repair processes, with implications for a spectrum of diseases.
