Defining the location of promoter-associated R-loops at near-nucleotide resolution using bisDRIP-seq

ABSTRACT: R-loops are features of chromatin consisting of a strand of DNA hybridized to RNA, as well as the expelled complementary DNA strand. R-loops are enriched at promoters where they have recently been shown to have important roles in modifying gene expression. However, the location of promoter-associated R-loops and the genomic domains they perturb to modify gene expression remain unclear. To resolve this issue, we developed a bisulfite-based approach, bisDRIP-seq, to map R-loops across the genome at near-nucleotide resolution in MCF-7 cells. We found the location of promoter-associated R-loops is dependent on the presence of introns. In intron-containing genes, R-loops are bounded between the transcription start site and the first exon-intron junction. In intronless genes, the 3' boundary displays gene-specific heterogeneity. Moreover, intronless genes are often associated with promoter-associated R-loop formation. Together, these studies provide a high-resolution map of R-loops and identify gene structure as a critical determinant of R-loop formation.

RNase H2, mutated in Aicardi‐Goutières syndrome, resolves co-transcriptional R-loops to prevent DNA breaks and inflammation.

Project description:RNase H2 is a specialized enzyme that degrades RNA in RNA/DNA hybrids and deficiency of this enzyme causes a severe neuroinflammatory disease, Aicardi Goutières syndrome (AGS). However, the molecular mechanism underlying AGS is still unclear. Here, we show that RNase H2 is associated with a subset of genes, in a transcription-dependent manner where it interacts with RNA Polymerase II. RNase H2 depletion impairs transcription leading to accumulation of R-loops, structures that comprise RNA/DNA hybrids and a displaced DNA strand, mainly associated with short and intronless genes. Importantly, accumulated R-loops are processed by XPG and XPF endonucleases which leads to DNA damage and activation of the immune response, features associated with AGS. Consequently, we uncover a key role for RNase H2 in the transcription of human genes by maintaining R-loop homeostasis. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic contribution of R-loops to AGS pathogenesis.

R-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instabilityR-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instability

Project description:Transcription can pose a threat to genomic stability through the formation of R-loops that obstruct the progression of replication forks. R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA-DNA hybrid with a displaced non-template DNA strand. We developed RDProx to identify proteins that regulate R-loops in human cells. RDProx relies on the expression of the hybrid-binding domain (HBD) of Ribonuclease H1 (RNaseH1) fused to the ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2), which permits mapping of the R-loop proximal proteome using quantitative mass spectrometry. We associated R-loop regulation with different cellular proteins and identified a role of the tumor suppressor DEAD box protein 41 (DDX41) in opposing R-loop-dependent genomic instability. Depletion of DDX41 resulted in replication stress, double strand breaks and increased inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, DDX41 opposes accumulation of R-loops at gene promoters and its loss leads to upregulated expression of TGFβ and NOTCH signaling genes. Germline loss-of-function mutations in DDX41 lead to predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adulthood. We propose that accumulation of co-transcriptional R-loops, associated gene expression changes and inflammatory response contribute to the development of familial AML with mutated DDX41.

The extruded non-template strand determines the architecture of R-loops

Project description:We show that these R-loop objects impose specific physical constraints on the DNA, as revealed by the presence of stereotypical angles in the surrounding DNA. Biochemical probing and mutagenesis experiments revealed that the formation of R-loop objects at Airn is dictated by the extruded non-template strand, suggesting that R-loops possess intrinsic sequence-driven properties. Consistent with this, we show that R-loops formed at the fission yeast gene sum3 do not form detectable R-loop objects. Our results reveal that R-loops differ by their architectures and that the organization of the non-template strand is a fundamental characteristic of R-loops, which could explain that only a subset of R-loops is associated with replication-dependent DNA breaks.

Genome-wide maps of R-loops in Drosophila embryogenesis and cultured cells

Project description:We report the genome localization of R-loops in early and late-stage embryos relative to Drosophila cultured cells. We demonstrate that proper absolute R-loop levels chage during embryogenesis and that resolution of R-loops is critical for embryonic development. R-loop mapping by strand-specific DRIP-seq revealed that R-loop localization is plastic across development, both in the genes which form R-loops and where they localize relative to gene bodies. Importantly, these changes are not driven by changes in the transcriptional program. Rather, negative GC skew and absolute changes in AT skew are associated with R-loop formation in Drosophila. Furthermore, we demonstrate that while some chromatin binding proteins and histone modification such as H3K27me3 are associated with R-loops throughout development, other chromatin factors associated with R-loops in a developmental specific manner.

Topoisomerase I poisoning induces R-loop changes and DNA damage in human cancer cells [END-seq]

Project description:DNA topoisomerase I is an essential enzyme in higher eukaryotes that regulates DNA torsional tension during fundamental processes, such as replication and transcription. During its catalytic activity, a transient Topoisomerase I-DNA cleavage complex, called Top1cc, forms to allow strand rotation and duplex relaxation. However, the stabilization of Top1cc can lead to increased DNA:RNA hybrid duplexes, DNA double-strand cuts (DSBs) and genome instability as shown by formation of micronuclei, extranuclear chromatin enveloped by a nuclear membrane. To better comprehend the underlying mechanisms, we have established genomic maps of Top1cc-mediated R-loop changes and DSBs at short times upon Top1cc induction. Our findings show that Top1ccs dynamically changed the genomic distribution of R-loops, with regions of stable hybrid gains. DSBs were at specific gene loci, strongly associated with stable anterior R-loops at highly-transcribed genes and close to backtracked RNA polymerase II. Moreover, DSBs and stable anterior R-loops were highly enriched at early replication origins, thus revealing the location of replication conflicts with backtracked RNA polymerases.

DDX17 helicase promotes resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts in human cells

Project description:R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures composed of an RNA:DNA hybrid and displaced DNA strand. These structures can halt DNA replication when formed co- transcriptionally in the opposite orientation to replication fork progression. Recent studies have shown that replication forks stalled by co-transcription R-loops can be restarted by a mechanism involving fork cleavage by MUS81 endonuclease, followed by reactivation of transcription, and fork religation by the DNA ligase IV (LIG4)/XRCC4 complex. However, how R-loops are eliminated to allow the sequential restart of transcription and replication in this pathway remains elusive. Here, we identified the human DDX17 helicase as a factor that associates with R-loops and counteracts R-loop-mediated replication stress to preserve genome stability. We show that DDX17 unwinds RNA:DNA hybrids in vitro and promotes MUS81-dependent restart of R-loop-stalled forks in human cells in a manner dependent on its helicase activity. Loss of DDX17 helicase induces accumulation of R-loops and the formation of R-loop-dependent anaphase bridges and micronuclei. These findings establish DDX17 as a component of the MUS81-LIG4 pathway for resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription- replication conflicts, which may be involved in R-loop unwinding.

spKAS-seq reveals R-loop dynamics using low-input materials by detecting single-stranded DNA with strand specificity

Project description:R-loops impact transcription and genome stability and are related to human diseases. Genome-wide R-loop mapping typically uses the S9.6 antibody or inactive RNase H, both requiring a large number of cells with varying results observed depending on the approach applied. Here, we present strand-specific KAS-seq (spKAS-seq) to map R-loops by taking advantage of the presence of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the triplex structure. We show that spKAS-seq detects R-loops and their dynamics at coding sequences, enhancers, and other intergenic regions with as few as 50,000 cells and eliminates potential bias towards open chromatin and RNase H-sensitive regions. A joint analysis of R-loops and chromatin-bound RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) suggested that R-loops can be RBP-binding hotspots on the chromatin.

Characterization of R-loop-interacting proteins in embryonic stem cells reveals roles in ribosomal RNA processing and gene expression

Project description:Chromatin-associated RNAs have diverse roles in the nucleus. However, their mechanisms of action are poorly understood, in part due to the inability to identify proteins that specifically associate with chromatin-bound RNAs. Here, we address this problem for a subset of chromatin-associated RNAs that form R-loops—RNA-DNA hybrid structures that include a displaced strand of single-stranded DNA. R-loops generally form co-transcriptionally and have important roles in regulation of gene expression, immunoglobulin class switching, and other processes. However, unresolved R-loops can lead to DNA damage and chromosome instability. To identify factors that may bind and potentially regulate R-loop accumulation or mediate R-loop-dependent functions, we used a comparative immunoprecipitation/mass spectrometry approach, with and without RNA-protein crosslinking, to identify a stringent set of R-loop-binding proteins in mouse embryonic stem cells. We identified 365 R-loop-interacting proteins, which were highly enriched for proteins with predicted RNA-binding functions. We characterized several R-loop-interacting proteins of the DEAD-box family of RNA helicases and found that these proteins localize to the nucleolus and, to a lesser degree, the nucleus. Consistent with their localization patterns, we found that these helicases are required for ribosomal RNA processing and regulation of gene expression. Surprisingly, depletion of these helicases resulted in misregulation of highly overlapping sets of protein-coding genes, including many genes that function in differentiation and development. We conclude that R-loop-interacting DEAD-box helicases have non-redundant roles that are critical for maintaining the normal embryonic stem cell transcriptome.
