R-loops are marks for histone H3 Ser10 phosphorylation and chromatin compaction

ABSTRACT: R-loops are transcription by-products that may constitute a threat to genome integrity. In addition to specific enzymes to remove them, eukaryotes rely on a number of mRNP biogenesis factors such as the THO complex, to prevent co-transcriptional R-loop formation. We show in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that R-loops are tightly and specifically linked with histone H3-Ser10 phosphorylation (H3S10P), a mark of chromatin condensation. Importantly, ChIP-chip analyses reveal a clear H3S10P accumulation at the pericentromeric chromatin during the G1-phase of the cell cycle only in R loop-accumulating yeast strains but not in those non-accumulating R-loops, and a significantly higher accumulation during S-phase. Such a difference can also be detected in a number of genes along the genome.

ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against Histone H3 and the phosphorylated Histone H3 at Serine10 in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Histone H3 Ser10 phosphorylation in hpr1-101

Project description:R-loops are transcription by-products that may constitute a threat to genome integrity.We previously show in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that R-loops are tightly and specifically linked with histone H3-Ser10 phosphorylation (H3S10P), a mark of chromatin condensation. Here we analyse the hpr1-101 mutant. A point mutation that impairs transcription and mRNP biogenesis without increasing recombination. Importantly, ChIP-chip analyses reveal a clear H3S10P does not accumulate at the pericentromeric chromatin during the G1-phase of the cell cycle but during S-phase in non-accumulating R-loop hpr1-101. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against Histone H3 and the phosphorylated Histone H3 at Serine10 in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Harmful R loops are prevented via different cell cycle specific mechanisms

Project description:R loops induce transcription-replication (T-R) conflicts, but recent reports have suggested that R-loops are caused by T-R conflicts. Identifying how R loops are generated is crucial to know how transcription compromise genome integrity. Genome-wide analyses of conditional yeast mutants reveal that transcription factors, such as the THO complex. prevents R loop formation in G1 and S-phase, whereas the Sen1 DNA-RNA helicase prevents them only in S-phase. Interestingly, damage accumulates asymmetrically downstream of the RF in sen1 cells but symmetrically in the hpr1 THO mutant. Our results unambiguously indicate that: R loops forms co-transcriptionally independently of DNA replication; THO is a general and cell-cycle independent safeguard against R loops, and Sen1, in contrast to previously believed, is an S-phase-specific R loop resolvase. These conclusions have important implications for the mechanism of R loop formation and the role of other factors reported to impact on R loop homeostasis

Genome-wide binding of THO and Sub2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:THO/TREX is a conserved nuclear complex that functions in mRNP biogenesis and prevents transcription-associated recombination. Whether or not it has a ubiquitous role in the genome is an open question. ChIP-chip studies reveal that the Hpr1 component of THO and the Sub2 RNA-dependent ATPase have genome wide-distributions at active ORFs in yeast. In contrast to RNAPII, evenly distributed from promoter to termination regions, THO and Sub2 are absent at promoters and distributed in a sharp 5M-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^FM-^R3M-bM-^@M-^Y gradient. Importantly, ChIP-chips reveal an over-recruitment of Rrm3 in active genes in THO mutants that is reduced by overexpression of RNase H1. Our work establishes a genome-wide function for THO-Sub2 in transcription elongation and mRNP biogenesis that function to prevent the accumulation of transcription-mediated replication obstacles, including R-loops. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with tagged forms of the Hpr1 component of THO (Hpr1-FLAG), the Sub2 RNA-dependent ATPase of TREX (Sub2-FLAG), the Rpb3 subunit of RNA polymerase II (Rpb3-PK) and the Rrm3 protein (Rrm3-FLAG) in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

UAP56/DDX39b is a major co-transcriptional RNA-DNA helicase that unwinds harmful R loops genome-wide

Project description:Non-scheduled R loops represent a major source of DNA damage and replication stress. Cells have different ways to prevent R loop accumulation. One mechanism relies on the conserved THO complex in association with co-transcriptional RNA processing factors including the RNA-dependent ATPase UAP56/DDX39B and histone modifiers such as the SIN3 deacetylase in humans. We investigated the function of UAP56/DDX39B in R loop removal. We show that UAP56 depletion causes R loop accumulation, R loop-mediated genome instability and replication fork stalling. We demonstrate an RNA-DNA helicase activity in UAP56 and that its overexpression suppresses R loops and genome instability induced by depleting 5 different unrelated factors. UAP56/DDX39B localizes to active chromatin and prevents the accumulation of RNA-DNA hybrids over the entire genome. We propose that, in addition to its RNA processing role, UAP56/DDX39B is a key helicase required to eliminate harmful co-transcriptional RNA structures that otherwise would block transcription and replication.

Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators

Project description:R-loops are three stranded nucleic acid structures that accumulate on chromatin in neurological diseases and cancers and that contribute to genome instability. Using a proximity-dependent labeling system, we identified distinct classes of proteins that regulate R-loops in vivo through different mechanisms. We show that ATRX suppresses R-loops by interacting with RNAs and preventing R-loop formation. Our proteomics screen also discovered an unexpected enrichment for proteins containing zinc fingers and homeodomains at R-loops. One of the most consistently enriched proteins at R-loops was activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), which is frequently mutated in ASD and causal in ADNP syndrome. We find that ADNP is necessary to suppress R-loops in vivo at its genomic targets and that it resolves R-loops in vitro. Furthermore, deletion of the homeodomain severely diminishes R-loop resolution activity in vitro, results in R-loop accumulation at ADNP targets and compromises neuronal differentiation. Notably, patient derived human induced pluripotent stem cells that contain an ADNP syndrome-causing mutation exhibit R-loop and CTCF accumulation at ADNP targets. Our findings point to a specific role for ADNP-mediated R-loop resolution in physiological and pathological neuronal function and, more broadly, to a previously unappreciated role for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins in R-loop regulation, with important implications for developmental disorders and cancers.

DDM1-facilitated R-loop resolution and H2A.Z exclusion primes heterochromatin formation in Arabidopsis [ssDRIP-seq, ChIP-seq, pNET-seq, ATAC-seq]

Project description:Programmed constitutive heterochromatin silencing is essential for eukaryotic genome regulation, yet the initial step of this process is ambiguous. A large proportion of R-loops (RNA:DNA hybrids) had been unexpectedly identified within Arabidopsis pericentromeric heterochromatin with unknown functions. Through a genome-wide R-loop profiling screen, we find DDM1 (Decrease in DNA Methylation 1) is the primary restrictor of pericentromeric R-loops via its RNA:DNA helicase activity. Low levels of pericentromeric R-loops resolved by DDM1 co-transcriptionally can prime constitutive heterochromatin silencing. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DDM1 physically excludes histone H2A variant H2A.Z, and promotes H2A.W deposition for faithful heterochromatin initiation soon after R-loop clearance. The dual functions of DDM1 in R-loop resolution and H2A.Z eviction are essential for sperm nuclei structure maintenance in mature pollen. Our work unravels the co-transcriptional R-loop resolution coupled with accurate H2A variants deposition is the primary step of constitutive heterochromatin silencing in Arabidopsis, which might be conserved across eukaryotes.
