Uracil Repair - A Source of DNA Glycosylase Dependent Genome Instability

ABSTRACT: Uracil DNA glycosylases (UDGs) excise uracil from DNA arising from dUMP misincorporation during replication or from cytosine deamination. Besides functioning in canonical uracil repair, UDGs cooperate with DNA base modifying enzymes to effect mutagenesis or DNA demethylation. Mammalian cells express four UDGs, the functional dissection of which represents a challenge. Here, we used Schizosaccharomyces pombe with only two UDGs, Ung1 and Thp1, as a simpler model to study functional interactions in uracil repair. We show that despite a predominance of Ung1 activity in cell extracts, both UDGs act redundantly against genomic uracil accumulation and mutations from cytosine deamination in cells. Notably, Thp1 but not Ung1-dependent repair is cytotoxic under genomic uracil stress induced by 5-fluorouracil exposure or AID expression. Also, Thp1- but not Ung1-mediated base excision is recombinogenic, accounting for more than 60% of spontaneous mitotic recombination events in a recombination assay. Hence, the qualitative outcome of uracil repair depends on the initiating UDG; while Ung1 shows expected features of a bona-fide DNA repair enzyme, Thp1-initiated repair appears slow and non-productive, implicating a function beyond canonical DNA repair. Given the epigenetic role of mammalian TDGs, we performed transcriptome analyses and identified a possible function of Thp1 in stabilizing gene expression.

Genome-wide mapping reveals that deoxyuridine is enriched in the human centromeric DNA

Project description:Uracil in DNA can be generated as a result of cytosine deamination or dUMP misincorporation. However, its distribution in the human genome is poorly understood, due to the lack of a sensitive detection method. Here we present “dU-seq”, a selective labeling and pull-down technology, to profile uracil in the human genome. dU-seq specifically labels uracil-containing DNA via an in vitro base excision repair reaction and identifies thousands of uracil peaks in the human genome.

Measurement of deaminated cytosine adducts in DNA using a novel hybrid thymine DNA glycosylase

Project description:The hydrolytic deamination of cytosine and 5-methylcytosine drives many of the transition mutations observed in human cancer. The deamination-induced mutagenic intermediates are either uracil or thymine adducts mispaired with guanine. While a substantial array of methods exists to measure other types of DNA adducts, the cytosine deamination adducts pose unusual analytical problems and adequate methods to measure them have not yet been developed. We describe here a novel hybrid thymine DNA glycosylase, hyTDG, which is comprised of a 29-amino acid sequence from human thymine DNA glycosylase linked to a thymine glycosylase found in an archaeal thermophilic bacterium. Using defined-sequence oligonucleotides, we show that hyTDG has robust mispair-selective activity against deaminated U:G and T:G mispairs. We have further developed a method for separating glycosylase-released free bases from oligonucleotides and DNA followed by GC-MS/MS identification and quantification. Using this approach, we have measured for the first time the levels of total Uracil (U), U:G and T:G in calf thymus DNA. The method presented here will allow the measurement of the formation, persistence, and repair of a biologically important class of deaminated cytosine adducts.

A regulatory network comprising let-7 miRNA and SMUG1 is associated with good prognosis in breast cancer survival

Project description:Cytosine deamination to uracil in DNA leads to mutations if the DNA lesion is not corrected. Base excision repair (BER) initiated by single-strand selective uracil-DNA glycosylase 1 (SMUG1) primarily recognizes uracil and oxidized pyrimidines, and processes them to restore the correct bases. SMUG1 status has been associated with cancer risk and therapeutic response as high levels of SMUG1 were observed in breast carcinomas and other cancer types. The role of SMUG1 in breast cancer is not completely understood. Here, we define a bad prognosis signature for SMUG1 interactors in different cancers by mapping out a SMUG1 interaction network. Survival analyses of patient outcomes show that high expression of genes in the bad prognosis network correlates with lower survival probability in breast cancer. Interestingly, bioinformatics analyses suggested let-7b-5p microRNA as one of the upstream regulators of SMUG1 interactors. Expression of SMUG1 and let-7b-5p are negatively correlated in breast cancer and we observed an inhibitory auto-regulatory loop between SMUG1 and let-7b-5p in MCF-7 cells. Hence, SMUG1 is a key player connecting RNA and DNA metabolism with regulation of gene expression.

Loss of Caenorhabditis elegans UNG-1 uracil-DNA glycosylase affects apoptosis in response to DNA damaging agents.

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been used extensively to study responses to DNA damage. In contrast, little is known about DNA repair in this organism. C. elegans is unusual in that it encodes few DNA glycosylases and the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) encoded by the ung-1 gene is the only known UDG. C. elegans could therefore become a valuable model organism for studies of the genetic interaction networks involving base excision repair (BER). As a first step towards characterization of BER in C. elegans, we show that the UNG-1 protein is an active uracil-DNA glycosylase. We demonstrate that an ung-1 mutant has reduced ability to repair uracil-containing DNA but that an alternative Ugi-inhibited activity is present in ung-1 nuclear extracts. Finally, we demonstrate that ung-1 mutants show altered levels of apoptotic cell corpses formed in response to DNA damaging agents. Increased apoptosis in the ung-1 mutant in response to ionizing radiation (IR) suggests that UNG-1 contributes to repair of IR-induced DNA base damage in vivo. Following treatment with paraquat however, the apoptotic corpse-formation was reduced. Gene expression profiling suggests that this phenotype is a consequence of compensatory transcriptomic shifts that modulate oxidative stress responses in the mutant and not an effect of reduced DNA damage signaling. C. elegans RNAi mutants deficient in ung-1 and the corresponding wild-type N2, were subjected to Affymetrix whole C. elegans genome microarrays. Triplicates were run for each sample group.

Base-resolution analysis of deoxyuridine at genome scale based on artificial incorporation modified nucleobase

Project description:Deoxyuridine (dU) in DNA can result from deamination of cytosine and dUMP misincorporation. The easy single-nucleotide resolution assay for dU are crucial to understanding its role in genome. Herein, we present a new concept of “base substitution” for accurate single-nucleotide resolution profiling of dU. The method termed AI-Seq (Artificial Incorporation of a modified nucleobase for sequencing) was developed using artificial cytosine (N3-C) to replace dU. After the artificial base construction, dU can read as cytosine during polymerase chain reaction assay. AI-seq was validated on synthetic DNA and then applied to the genome of HEK293T cell line. Collectively, the “base substitution” provides a novel approach for generating comprehensive information about the distribution of dU and can be potentially adapted to detect other epigenetic modifications.

Bisulfite-Free Whole-Genome Mapping of 5-Methylcytosine at Single-Base Resolution by TAD-seq

Project description:5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is a crucial epigenetic modification plays a significant role in the regulation of gene expression. Accurate and quantitative detection of 5mC at single-base resolution is essential for understanding its epigenetic functions within genomes. In this study, we develop a novel nTET-assisted deaminase sequencing (TAD-seq) method for the base-resolution and quantitative detection of 5mC in genomic DNA. The TAD-seq method utilizes a Naegleria TET-like dioxygenase (nTET) to oxidize 5mC, generating 5-methylcytosine oxidation products (5moC). We also engineered a variant of the human apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3A (A3A), creating an A3A mutant (A3Am). Treatment with A3Am results in the conversion of cytosine to uracil, while 5moC remains unchanged. Consequently, TAD-seq enables the direct deamination of cytosine to uracil by A3Am, which is sequenced as thymine, whereas 5mC, once oxidized to 5moC by nTET, resists deamination and is sequenced as cytosine. Therefore, the cytosines that persist in the sequencing data represent the original 5mC sites. We applied TAD-seq to HEK293T cells, generating a base-resolution map of 5mC that exhibits strong concordance with maps generated by conventional BS-seq. TAD-seq emerges as a powerful, bisulfite-free approach for the single-base resolution mapping of 5mC stoichiometry in genomic DNA.

Diverse fates of uracilated HIV DNA during infection of myeloid lineage cells

Project description:Using novel methods for mapping U/A base pairs in HIV DNA, we find that HIV proviruses within infected monocytes and macrophages contain high levels of U/A base pairs arising from the high levels of dUTP present during reverse transcription in these cells. Although U/A pairs retain the coding information of T/A pairs, they are the substrate for the nuclear uracil base excision repair (UBER) machinery that effectively degrades most of the uracilated viral DNA at the pre-integration stage of infection. Uracilated proviruses that successfully integrate either retain the uracils, undergo U/A T/A repair, or experience catastrophic mutagenesis induced by cytokine stimulated error-prone repair. Uracil is abundant in proviruses isolated from genomic DNA of short-lived blood monocytes, but not T cells, of HIV infected blood donors who show complete drug suppression plasma virus. This suggests that monocytes are recently infected by coming into contact with persistent virus producing cells in one or more tissue reservoirs.

APOBEC3s induce mutations during the repair of CRISPR-Cas9-generated DNA breaks.

Project description:APOBEC-AID family of cytidine deaminase prefers single-stranded nucleic acids for cytidine to uracil deamination. Single-stranded nucleic acids are commonly involved in the DNA repair system for breaks generated by CRISPR-Cas9. Here, we show in human cells that APOBEC3s can trigger the cytidine deamination of single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides, which ultimately results in base substitution mutations in genomic DNA through the homology-directed repair (HDR) of Cas9-generated double-strand breaks . In addition, the APOBEC3-catalyzed deamination in genomic single-stranded DNA formed during the repair of Cas9 nickase-generated single-strand breaks can be further processed to yield mutations mainly involving insertions or deletions (indels). Mechanistically, both APOBEC3-mediated deamination and DNA repair proteins play important roles in the generation of these indels. Correspondingly, optimizing conditions for the repair of CRISPR-Cas9-generated DNA breaks, such as using double-stranded donors in HDR or temporarily suppressing endogenous APOBEC3s, can substantially repress these unwanted mutations in genomic DNA.

Transcriptome profile of Haloferax volcanii H26 strain under sodium bisulfite induction (RNA-seq)

Project description:DNA deamination occurs constantly in a cell and causes DNA damage. As this damage can be deleterious, organisms have evolved many systems to eliminate it. Deamination of cytosine, guanine, adenine, and 5-methylcytosine results in the formation of uracil, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and thymine, respectively. Sodium bisulfite is a kind of DNA deaminating agent that can increase the frequency of DNA deamination in cells. This study measures the transcriptome profile of Haloferax volcanii H26 strain and HVO_RS06830 gene knockout strain, induced with different concentrations of sodium bisulfite.
