Release of paused RNA-Polymerase II at specific introns and chromatin domains favors spontaneous DNA double strand break formation and predicts cancer translocations [ChIP-seq & BLISS]

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional activation leads to transient accumulation of DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs), which might promote formation of chromosomal translocations. We report here the genomic distribution of DSBs in non-transformed mammary cells grown under unperturbed conditions, using genome-wide Breaks Labeling In Situ and Sequencing (BLISS). We found thousands of high-confidence DSBs, which were enriched at the promoters of a subset of moderately- to highly-transcribed genes (fragile promoters) and co-localized with Topoisomerase II beta. Analyses of DSB-predictive features identified gene length and paused RNA Polymerase II, but not transcription, as critical factors (84% prediction accuracy). Analyses of DSB signaling and repair factors showed high levels of XRCC4, but not of gammaH2AX and NBS1, and no RAD51. Finally, the observed DSBs were predictive of a significant fraction of the recurrent translocations found in human breast cancers. These data suggest that, in normal cells, basal transcription from a specific class of promoters entails accumulation of TOP2B, leading to unresolved DSBs and increased probability of chromosomal translocations.

Total protein abundances upon Mcm6 knockdown in the murine CH12 cells

Project description:Chromosomal translocations result from joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and frequently cause cancer. Yet, the steps linking DSB formation to DSB ligation remain undeciphered. We report that DNA replication timing (RT) directly regulates lymphomagenic Myc translocations during antibody maturation in B-cells downstream of DSBs and independently of DSB frequency. Depletion of minichromosome-maintenance (MCM) complexes alters replication origin activity, decreases translocations and abrogates global RT. Ablating a single origin at Myc causes an early-to-late RT switch, loss of translocations and reduced nuclear proximity with a translocation partner locus, phenotypes that were reversed by restoring early RT. Disruption of shared early RT also reduced tumorigenic translocations in human leukemic cells. Thus, RT constitutes a new, unprecedented mechanism in translocation biogenesis linking DSB formation to DSB ligation

Mapping of physiological DNA double stranded breaks in normal breast cells and breast cancer cells [BLISS]

Project description:DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) pose a significant threat to genomic integrity, and their generation during essential cellular processes like transcription remains poorly understood. In this study, we employed the advanced BLISS techniques to map DSBs, with different genetic manipulations to comprehensively investigate the interplay between transcription, DSBs, Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1), and R-loops. Our findings revealed the presence of DSBs at highly expressed genes enriched with TOP1 and R-loops, indicating their crucial involvement in transcription-associated genomic instability. Depletion of R-loops and TOP1 specifically reduced DSBs at highly expressed genes, uncovering their pivotal roles in transcriptional DSB formation. By elucidating the intricate interplay between TOP1cc trapping, R-loops, and DSBs, our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying transcription-associated genomic instability. Moreover, we establish a link between transcriptional DSBs and early molecular changes driving cancer development. Notably, our study highlights the distinct etiology and molecular characteristics of driver mutations compared to passenger mutations, shedding light on the potential for targeted therapeutic strategies. Overall, these findings deepen our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing DSBs in hypertranscribed genes associated with carcinogenesis, opening avenues for future research and therapeutic interventions.

Genome-wide detection of DNA double-strand breaks by in-suspension BLISS

Project description:sBLISS (in-suspension Break Labeling In Situ and Sequencing) is a versatile and widely applicable method for identification of endogenous and induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), in any cell type that can be brought into suspension. After in situ labeling, DSB ends are linearly amplified followed by next-generation sequencing and DSB landscape analysis. Here, we present a step-by-step experimental protocol for sBLISS, followed by a basic computational analysis. The main advantages of sBLISS are (i) the suspension setup, which circumvents the need to work with delicate coverslips as in the original BLISS, (ii) the possibility for adaptation to a high-throughput robotics or single-cell workflow, and (iii) its flexibility and applicability to virtually every cell type, including patient-derived cells, organoids, and isolated nuclei. The wet-lab protocol can be completed in 1.5 weeks, and it is suitable for researchers with intermediate expertise in molecular biology and genomics. For the computational analyses, basic-to-intermediate bioinformatics expertise is required.

Seeding the meiotic DNA break machinery and initiating recombination on chromosome axes

Project description:Recombination-mediated linking of homologous chromosomes is a unique meiotic feature that enables the halving of chromosomal ploidy in sexual life cycles. Meiotic recombination is initiated by programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are generated by focal multi-protein clusters that condense onto chromosomal axes by poorly understood mechanisms. We discovered in mice that a DBF4-dependent kinase (DDK)–modulated interaction between IHO1 and the chromosomal axis component HORMAD1 effects the formation of axis-bound IHO1 platforms that enhance nucleation of cytologically distinguishable DSB-machinery clusters. This IHO1-HORMAD1-mediated seeding of the DSB-machinery ensures that sufficient DSBs form for efficient pairing of homologous chromosomes. In the absence of IHO1-HORMAD1 interaction, residual DSB activity depends on ANKRD31, which enhances both the seeding and the growth of DSB-machinery clusters. Thus, meiotic DSBs are ensured by complementing pathways that differentially effect seeding and growth of DSB-machinery clusters, and that synergistically enable assembly of the DSB machinery on chromosomal axes.

DNA replication timing directly regulates the frequency of oncogenic chromosomal translocations [HiC]

Project description:Many cancers originate from misregulation of gene expression caused by chromosomal translocations which result from ligation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Indeed, translocations may be causal in ~20% of human cancer morbidity 1. Although the sources of DSBs are numerous2-5, we have virtually no knowledge of the steps linking DSB formation to DSB ligation. Here, we show that early replication timing of translocation partner loci, mediated by the activity of replication origins, is a critical regulator of lymphomagenic Myc translocations generated by activation-induced deaminase (AID) during antibody maturation in B-cells. Reduced levels of the replicative helicase, the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex6, impairs translocation genesis, decreases firing of replication origins at AID target genes and globally abrogates the replication timing program without altering cell proliferation, gene expression or genome architecture. Strikingly, deleting a single origin of replication at Myc induces a switch from early-to-late replication at Myc with concomitantly impaired translocation frequency. This phenotype is reversed by restoring early replication at Myc thereby demonstrating a direct, causal role of replication origin activity and replication timing in translocation genesis. Finally, this replication timing-mediated step acts downstream of DSBs and is independent of DSB frequency, constituting a novel regulatory step in translocation biogenesis.
