Project description:Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring KEAP1 mutations are characterized by worse overall outcomes and resistance to immunotherapy. Here, we identified a molecular mechanism by which KEAP1 targets EMSY for ubiquitin-mediated degradation to regulate homologous recombination repair (HRR) and anti-tumor immunity. Loss of KEAP1 in NSCLC induces stabilization of EMSY producing a BRCAness phenotype characterized by HRR defects and sensitivity to PARP inhibitors (PARPis). Defective HRR increases genomic instability leading to high tumor mutational burden (TMB), which prompts an innate immune response. Notably, EMSY accumulation also suppresses the type I interferon response and impairs innate immune signaling, fostering cancer immune evasion. Activation of the type I interferon response in the tumor microenvironment using a STING agonist results in the engagement of innate and adaptive immune signaling, impairing the growth of KEAP1-mutant tumors. Our results suggest that targeting the PARP and STING pathways, individually or in combination, represent a novel therapeutic strategy in NSCLC patients harboring alterations in KEAP1.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to analyze the transcriptional pathways regulated by Emsy and Keap1 in subcutaneous mouse lung adenocarcinoma tumors. Methods: Keap1 wild type (KP) or mutant (KPK) cells expressing inducible shEmsy or shCTRL were implanted subcutaneously into the flanks of 6- to 8-week-old female syngeneic mice. Once tumors were measurable mice were treated with doxycycline to induce the shRNA expression. Knock down efficiency has been evaluated by western blot (using specific antibody for Emsy) and qPCR (using specific oligos for Emsy). Results: The transcriptomic analysis helps us to support our finding that Keap1-null tumors are characterized by suppression of the IFN response resulting from the stabilization of Emsy.

Project description:The eukaryotic genome is organized in a three-dimensional structure called chromatin, constituted by DNA and associated proteins, the majority of which are histones. Post-translational modifications of histone proteins greatly influence chromatin structure and regulate many DNA-based biological processes. Methylation of lysine 36 of histone 3 (H3K36) is a post-translational modification functionally relevant during early steps of DNA damage repair. Here, we show that the JMJD-5 regulates H3K36 di-methylation and it is required at late stages of double strand break repair mediated by homologous recombination. Loss of jmjd-5 results in hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation and in meiotic defects, and it is associated with aberrant retention of RAD-51 at sites of double strand breaks. Analyses of jmjd-5 genetic interactions with genes required for resolving recombination intermediates (rtel-1) or promoting the resolution of RAD-51 double stranded DNA filaments (rfs-1 and helq-1) suggest that jmjd-5 prevents the formation of stalled postsynaptic recombination intermediates and favors RAD-51 removal. As these phenotypes are all recapitulated by a catalytically inactive jmjd-5 mutant, we propose a novel role for H3K36me2 regulation during late steps of homologous recombination critical to preserve genome integrity.

Project description:Brca1 is required for DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) and normal embryonic development. Here we report that deletion of the DNA damage responsefactor 53BP1 overcomes embryonic lethality in Brca1-nullizygous mice, and rescues HR deficiency, as measured by hypersensitivity to PARP (polyADPribose polymerase) inhibition. However, Brca1,53BP1 double-deficient cells are hypersensitive to DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), indicating that BRCA1 has an additional role in DNA cross-link repair that is distinct from HR. Disruption of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) factor, Ku, promotes DNA repair in Brca1-deficient cells; however deletion of either Ku or 53BP1 exacerbates genomic instability in cells lacking FANCD2, a mediator of the Fanconi Anemia pathway for ICL repair. Brca1 therefore has two separate roles in ICL repair, whereas FANCD2 provides a key activity that can not be bypassed by ablation of 53BP1 or Ku. B cells were stimulated to undergo class switch recombination in vitro. Chromatin from B cells was harvested 72 hours post-stimulation and used for RPA ChIP to study the extent of resection of DNA DSBs.

Project description:Here we found that ILF3 prefers to bind telomere R-loops and protects telomere from aberrant homologous recombination. ILF3 knockout induces TERRA aggregation onto telomere and activates telomere DNA damage response (DDR). Furthermore, ILF3 deficiency disrupts telomere homeostasis and induces abnormal ALT-mediated telomere lengthening

Project description:Homologous recombination (HR) is a key process for repairing DNA double strand breaks and for promoting genetic diversity, and it occurs unevenly throughout the genome. G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable secondary structures widely present across the genome, which function in regulating gene transcription and maintaining genome stability. However, elevated G4 levels by BLM (RecQ like helicase unwinding G4) depletion can significantly drive HR at these G4 sites, which may threaten genome stability. Here, we investigated the role of Yin Yang-1 (YY1) in modulating HR at G4 sites. To elucidate G4 sites on the genome, cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) of BG4, a G4 specific antibody, was conducted.

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisae RAD3 gene is homolog of human XPD, an essential gene encoding a DNA helicase of the TFIIH complex involved in both nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription. Mutant alleles of RAD3 have been identified (rad3-101 and rad3-102) that have partial defects in DNA repair associated with a strong hyper-recombination (hyper-Rec) phenotype. Previous studies showed that the hyper-Rec phenotype associated with rad3-101 and rad3-102 can be explained as a consequence of persistent single-stranded DNA gaps that are converted to recombinogenic double-strand breaks (DSBs) by replication. We have further characterized these events using a system in which the reciprocal products of mitotic recombination between homologs are recovered as red and white sectored colonies. Both rad3-101 and rad3-102 elevate the frequency of sectored colonies about 100-fold. Subsequent mapping of these events shows that three-quarters of crossovers between homologs induced in hyper-Rec rad3 mutants reflect DSBs formed in at the same positions in both sister chromatids (double sister-chromatid breaks, DSCBs). The remainder reflects DSBs formed in single chromatids (single chromatid breaks, SCBs). The ratio of DSCBs to SCBs is similar to that observed for spontaneous recombination events in wild-type cells. In addition to examining crossovers on chromosome V, we mapped 216 unselected genomic alterations throughout the genome including crossovers, gene conversions, deletions, and duplications. We found a significant association between the location of these recombination events and regions with elevated gamma-H2AX. In addition, there was a hotspot for deletions and duplications at the IMA2 and HXT11 genes near the left end of chromosome XV. A comparison of these data with our previous analysis of spontaneous mitotic recombination events suggests that a sub-set of spontaneous events in wild-type cells may be initiated by incomplete NER reactions, and that DSCBs, which cannot be repaired by sister-chromatid recombination, are a major source of mitotic recombination between homologous chromosomes.

Project description:Orderly segregation of chromosomes during meiosis requires that crossovers form between homologous chromosomes by recombination. Programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination. We identify ANKRD31 as a critical component of complexes of DSB-promoting proteins which assemble on meiotic chromosome axes. Genome-wide, ANKRD31 deficiency causes delayed recombination initiation. In addition, loss of ANKRD31 alters DSB distribution owing to reduced selectivity for sites that normally attract DSBs. Strikingly, ANKRD31 deficiency also abolishes uniquely high rates of recombination that normally characterize pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of X and Y chromosomes. Consequently, sex chromosomes do not form crossovers leading to chromosome segregation failure in ANKRD31-deficient spermatocytes. These defects are accompanied by a genome-wide delay in assembling DSB-promoting proteins on axes and a loss of a pecialized PAR-axis domain that is highly enriched for DSB-promoting proteins. Thus, we propose a model for spatiotemporal patterning of recombination by ANKRD31-dependent control of axis-associated complexes of DSB-promoting proteins.
