DONSON encodes a novel replication fork protection factor mutated in 2 microcephalic dwarfism.

ABSTRACT: To ensure efficient genome duplication, cells have evolved a multitude of factors that promote unperturbed DNA replication, and protect, repair and restart damaged forks. Here we identify DONSON as a novel fork protection factor, and report biallelic DONSON mutations in individuals with microcephalic dwarfism. We demonstrate that DONSON is a component of the replisome that stabilises forks during normal genome replication. Loss of DONSON leads to severe replication-associated DNA damage arising from nucleolytic cleavage of stalled replication forks. Furthermore, ATR-dependent ,signalling in response to replication stress is impaired in DONSON-deficient cells, resulting in decreased checkpoint activity, and potentiating chromosomal instability. Hypomorphic mutations substantially reduce DONSON protein levels and impair fork stability in patient cells, consistent with defective DNA replication underlying the disease phenotype In summary, we identify mutations in DONSON as a common cause of microcephalic dwarfism, and establish DONSON as a critical replication fork protein required for mammalian DNA replication and genome stability

DONSON encodes a novel replication fork protection factor mutated in microcephalic dwarfism.

Project description:To ensure efficient genome duplication, cells have evolved a multitude of factors that promote unperturbed DNA replication, and protect, repair and restart damaged forks. Here we identify DONSON as a novel fork protection factor, and report biallelic DONSON mutations in 29 individuals with microcephalic dwarfism. We demonstrate that DONSON is a component of the replisome that stabilises forks during normal genome replication. Loss of DONSON leads to severe replication-associated DNA damage arising from nucleolytic cleavage of stalled replication forks. Furthermore, ATR-dependent signalling in response to replication stress is impaired in DONSON-deficient cells, resulting in decreased checkpoint activity, and potentiating chromosomal instability.

Dynamic Control of RNA-DNA Hybrid Formation Orchestrates DNA2 Activation at Stalled Forks by RNAPII and DDX39A [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The accurate processing of stalled forks by the DNA2 nuclease is pivotal for replication fork restart, as excessive degradation poses a threat to genomic stability. However, the regulation of DNA2 activity at stalled forks remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that, upon replication stress, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is recruited to stalled forks, actively promoting the transient formation of RNA-DNA hybrids. Furthermore, we provide evidence that DDX39A, functioning as an RNA-DNA resolver, unwinds these hybrids, allowing DNA2 access to stalled forks. This orchestrated process facilitates controlled DNA2-dependent stalled fork processing and restart. Nevertheless, premature removal of RNA-DNA hybrids at stalled forks leads to DNA2-dependent excessive degradation of nascent DNA. Finally, we reveal that loss of DDX39A enhances the protection of stalled forks in BRCA1/2-deficient cells, consequently conferring chemoresistance within this specific cellular context. Our results suggest that the dynamic regulation of RNA-DNA hybrid formation at stalled forks by RNAPII and DDX39A precisely governs the timing of DNA2 activation, contributing to stalled fork processing and restart, ultimately promoting genome stability.

Genome-wide mapping proteins at replication forks in the yeast S. cerevisiae

Project description:Faithful duplication of DNA is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability in all organisms. DNA synthesis proceeds bi-directionally with continuous synthesis of leading strand DNA and discontinuous synthesis of lagging strand DNA. Herein, we describe a method of enriching and Sequencing of Protein-Associated Nascent strand DNA (eSPAN) to detect whether a protein binds the leading- and lagging-strands of DNA replication forks. We show that Pol-epsilon, PCNA, Cdc45, Mcm6 and Mcm10 preferentially associate with leading strands, whereas Pol-alpha, Pol32, Pol-delta, Rfa1 and Rfc1 associate with lagging strands of hydroxyurea (HU)-stalled replication forks. In contrast, PCNA is enriched at lagging strands of normal replication forks in wild type cells and HU-stalled forks in cells lacking Elg1. These studies demonstrate a strategy to reveal proteins at leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks, and suggest that the unloading of PCNA from lagging strands of HU-stalled replication forks helps maintain genome integrity.

Regulation of Rad52-dependent replication fork recovery through serine ADP-ribosylation of PolD3

Project description:Although Poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerases (PARPs) are key regulators of genome stability, how site-specific ADP-ribosylation regulates DNA repair is unclear. Here, we describe a novel role for PARP1 and PARP2 in regulating Rad52-dependent replication fork repair to maintain cell viability when HR is dysfunctional, suppress replication-associated DNA damage, and maintain genome stability. Mechanistically, Mre11 is required for induction of PARP activity in response to replication stress that in turn promotes break-induced replication (BIR) through assembly of Rad52 at stalled/damaged replication forks. Further, by mapping ADP-ribosylation sites induced upon replication stress, we identify that PolD3 is a target for PARP1/PARP2 and importantly, that its site-specific ADP-ribosylation is required for BIR activity, replication fork recovery and genome stability. Overall, these data identify a critical role for Mre11-dependent PARP activation and site-specific ADP-ribosylation in regulating BIR to maintain genome integrity during DNA synthesis.

Replication Fork-Associated RNA-DNA Hybrids Safeguard Genomic Stability in Transcriptionally Active Regions [EdUseq]

Project description:Safeguarding replication fork stability in transcriptionally active regions, which require high DNA replication accuracy, is crucial for precise DNA replication and prevention of mutations. However, how cells ensure the stability of replication forks in these regions remains a critical challenge. Here, we discovered the pervasive existence of replication forks-associated RNA-DNA hybrids (RF-RDs) within transcriptionally active regions, where they act as a protective barrier against DNA2-mediated nascent DNA degradation and prevent replication fork collapse upon replication stress. Subsequently, the RNA helicase DDX39A dismantles RF-RDs, facilitating proper DNA2-mediated DNA resection and replication fork restart. Excessive dissolution of RF-RDs causes replication fork collapse and genomic instability, while insufficient dissolution of RF-RDs under replication stress increases fork stability, resulting in chemoresistance that can be reversed by eliminating RF-RDs. In summary, we elucidated the prevalence of RF-RDs at replication forks within transcriptionally active regions, revealed their pivotal role in safeguarding replication fork stability, and proposed that targeting RF-RDs holds promise for augmenting chemotherapeutic efficacy.
