C. elegans TFIIH subunit GTF-2H5/TTDA is a non-essential transcription factor indispensable for DNA repairC. elegans TFIIH subunit GTF-2H5/TTDA is a non-essential transcription factor indispensable for DNA repair.

ABSTRACT: The 10-subunit TFIIH complex is vital to transcription and nucleotide excision repair. Hereditary mutations in its smallest subunit, TTDA/GTF2H5, cause a photosensitive form of the rare developmental disorder trichothiodystrophy. Some trichothiodystrophy features are thought to be caused by subtle transcription or gene expression defects. TTDA/GTF2H5 knockout mice are not viable, making it difficult to investigate TTDA/GTF2H5 in vivo function. Here we show that deficiency of C. elegans TTDA ortholog GTF-2H5 is, however, compatible with life, in contrast to depletion of other TFIIH subunits. GTF-2H5 promotes TFIIH stability in multiple tissues and is indispensable for nucleotide excision repair, in which it facilitates recruitment of TFIIH to DNA damage. Strikingly, when transcription is challenged, gtf-2H5 embryos die due to the intrinsic TFIIH fragility in absence of GTF-2H5. These results support the idea that TTDA/GTF2H5 mutations cause transcription impairment underlying trichothiodystrophy and establish C. elegans as model for studying pathogenesis of this disease.

Structural basis of TFIIH activation for nucleotide excision repair

Project description:Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of an NER intermediate containing TFIIH and the NER factor XPA. Compared to its transcription conformation, the TFIIH structure is rearranged such that its ATPase subunits XPB and XPD bind double- and single-stranded DNA, consistent with their translocase and helicase activities, respectively. XPA releases the inhibitory kinase module of TFIIH, displaces a ‘plug’ element from the DNA-binding pore in XPD, and together with the NER factor XPG stimulates XPD activity. Our results explain how TFIIH is switched from a transcription to a repair factor, and provide the basis for a mechanistic analysis of the NER pathway.

Systematic mutagenesis of TFIIH subunit p52/Tfb2 identifies residues required for XPB/Ssl2 subunit function and genetic interactions with TFB6

Project description:TFIIH is an evolutionarily conserved complex that plays central roles in both RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcription and DNA repair. As an integral component of the pol II Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), TFIIH regulates pol II enzyme activity in numerous ways. The TFIIH subunit XPB/Ssl2 is an ATP-dependent DNA translocase that stimulates promoter opening prior to transcription initiation. Crosslinking-mass spectrometry and cryo-EM results have shown a conserved interaction network involving XPB/Ssl2 and the C-terminal Hub region of the TFIIH p52/Tfb2 subunit, but the functional significance of specific residues is unclear. Here, we systematically mutagenized the HubA region of Tfb2 and screened for growth phenotypes in a TFB6 deletion background in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We identified six lethal and twelve conditional mutants. Slow growth phenotypes of all but three conditional mutants were relieved in the presence of TFB6, thus identifying a functional interaction between Tfb2 HubA mutants and Tfb6, a protein that dissociates Ssl2 from TFIIH. Our biochemical analysis of Tfb2 mutants with severe growth phenotypes revealed defects in Ssl2 association, with similar results in human cells. Further characterization of these tfb2 mutant cells revealed defects in GAL gene induction, and reduced occupancy of TFIIH and pol II at GAL gene promoters, suggesting that functionally competent TFIIH is required for proper pol II recruitment to PICs in vivo. Consistent with recent structural models of TFIIH, our results identify key residues in the p52/Tfb2 HubA domain that are required for stable incorporation of XPB/Ssl2 into TFIIH, and for pol II transcription.

STK19 drives transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair by stimulating Pol II ubiquitylation and TFIIH recruitment

Project description:DNA damage forms a major obstacle for gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) efficiently eliminates transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs), thereby safeguarding accurate transcription, preserving correct cellular function and counteracting aging. TC-NER initiation involves the recognition of lesion-stalled Pol II by CSB, which recruits the CRL4CSA E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and UVSSA. TBL-induced Pol II ubiquitylation at lysine K1268 by CRL4CSA serves as a critical TC-NER checkpoint, governing Pol II stability and initiating TBL excision by TFIIH recruitment. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms of the CRL4CSA E3 ligase activity and TFIIH recruitment remains elusive. Here, we reveal Serine/Threonine Kinase 19 (STK19) as a novel TC-NER factor. Cryo-EM studies revealed that STK19 is an integral part of the Pol II-TC‐NER complex, bridging CSA with UVSSA, RPB1 and downstream DNA. Live-cell imaging and interaction proteomics shows that STK19 stimulates TC-NER complex stability and proper CRL4CSA complex assembly, resulting in Pol II (K1268) ubiquitylation and subsequent UVSSA and TFIIH recruitment. These findings underscore the crucial role of STK19 as a core component of the TC-NER machinery and its key involvement to the cellular responses to genomic injuries that interfere with transcription.

Structure of TFIIH/Rad4-Rad23-Rad33 in damaged DNA opening in Nucleotide Excision Repair

Project description:TFIIH is a 10-protein complex that is conserved throughout eukaryotes. TFIIH has two primary cellular functions: transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER in eukaryotes begins by recognition of a bulky lesion by the obligate dimer Rad4-Rad23. This is followed closely by the recruitment of TFIIH which is a structural scaffold, opens a bubble around damaged DNA and scans the damaged strand for bulky lesions. This facilitates the recruitment of two exonucleases which excise the damages strand before an undamaged complement is synthesize. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), TFIIH is composed of the two helicases Ssl2 and Rad3, the scaffolding subunits Tfb1, Tfb2, Tfb4 and Ssl1 and the kinase subunits Kin28, Ccl1 and Tfb3, though these later 3 are dispensable for NER.

CX-MS of TFIIH and Def1 complex

Project description:The DNA damage response is an essential process for the survival of living cells. In a subset of stress-responsive genes in humans,Elongin controls transcription in response to multiple stimuli, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and heat shock. Yeast Elongin (Ela1-Elc1), along with Def1, is known to facilitate ubiquitylation and degradation of RNA polymerase II (pol II) in response tomultiple stimuli, yet transcription activity has not been examined. We have found that Def1 copurifies from yeast whole-cell extract with TFIIH,the largest general transcription factor required for transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair. The addition of recombinant Def1 and Ela1-Elc1 enhanced transcription initiation in an in vitro reconstituted system including pol II, the general transcription factors, and TFIIS. Def1 also enhanced transcription restart from TFIIS-induced cleavage in a pol II transcribing complex. In the Δdef1 strain, heat shock genes were misregulated, indicating that Def1 is required for induction of some stress-responsive genes in yeast. Taken together, our results extend the understanding of the molecular mechanism of transcription regulation on cellular stress and reveal functional similarities to the mammalian system.

Elf1 promotes TC-NER in yeast by using its C-terminal domain to bind TFIIH

Project description:Transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) repairs DNA lesions that stall RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Here, we show that the C-terminal domain (CTD) of elongation factor-1 (Elf1) plays a critical role in TC-NER in yeast. Analysis of genome-wide repair of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) using CPD-seq indicates that the Elf1 CTD is required for efficient Rad26-dependent and Rad26-independent TC-NER across the yeast genome. The Elf1-CTD is also important for TC-NER in rad16∆ cells deficient in GG-NER. Finally, we show that a mutant in the Elf1-CTD (elf1-Y99A) that disrupts binding to a subunit of TFIIH affects Rad26-independent repair in a rad26∆ mutant background.

A disease-associated XPA allele interferes with TFIIH binding and primarily affects the transcription-coupled sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair

Project description:XPA is a central scaffold protein in nucleotide excision repair (NER) that interacts with and coordinates the assembly of repair complexes. Inactivating mutations in XPA causes Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), which is characterized by extreme UV sensitivity and a highly elevated skin cancer risk. Here, we describe two Dutch siblings in their late forties carrying a homozygous H244R substitution in the C-terminus of XPA with a mild manifestation of XP without skin cancer, but with neurological features including cerebellar ataxia. We show that the mutant XPA protein shows a severely weakened interaction with the TFIIH complex leading to its inefficient association with NER complexes and an inability to support the efficient association of the ERCC1-XPF endonuclease with repair complexes. Despite these defects, we find that patient-derived fibroblasts and reconstituted knockout cells carrying the H244R substitution show considerable levels of residual global genome repair (~40%), which is in intrinsic property of the mutated protein as revealed by in vitro experiments. In contrast, patient fibroblasts and engineered cells only expressing the mutant XPA protein were fully deficient in transcription-coupled repair. We report a new case of XPA deficiency that interferes with TFIIH binding and primarily affects the transcription-coupled sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair, which is more closely associated with neurological features than to skin abnormalities.

Systematic mutagenesis identifies p52/Tfb2 residues required for XPB/Ssl2 function within TFIIH and genetic interactions with TFB6

Project description:TFIIH is an evolutionarily conserved complex that plays central roles in both RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcription and DNA repair. As an integral component of the pol II Pre-Initiation Complex, TFIIH regulates the activity of the pol II enzyme in numerous ways. One of the essential functions of TFIIH resides in its XPB/Ssl2 subunit. XPB/Ssl2 is an ATP-dependent DNA translocase that stimulates promoter opening prior to transcription initiation. Crosslinking-mass spectrometry and cryo-EM results have shown a conserved interaction network involving XPB/Ssl2 and the C-terminal Hub region of the p52/Tfb2 core subunit. Here, we systematically mutagenized the HubA region of Tfb2 and screened for growth phenotypes in a TFB6 deletion background in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We identified six lethal and twelve conditional mutants. Growth phenotypes of all but three of the conditional mutants were suppressed in the presence of Tfb6, thus identifying a functional interaction between Tfb2 HubA mutants and Tfb6, a protein that dissociates Ssl2 from TFIIH. Biochemical analysis of p52/Tfb2 mutants with severe growth phenotypes revealed defects in XPB/Ssl2 association. Further characterization of these Tfb2 mutant cells revealed defects in induction of Gal genes, and reduced occupancy TFIIH and pol II at Gal gene promoters, suggesting that functional TFIIH is required for proper Pol II recruitment to PICs in vivo. Consistent with recent structural models of TFIIH, our results identify key residues in the p52/Tfb2 HubA domain that are required for stable incorporation of XPB/Ssl2 into TFIIH, and for pol II transcription.

Ssl2/TFIIH Function in Transcription Start Site Scanning by RNA Polymerase II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The initial step of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription involves a large number of transcription factors and arises at multiple sites within most promoters. TFIIH is an essential, multi-subunit transcription factor that assembles on promoter DNA with Pol II and five other general transcription factors (GTFs) to form a pre-initiation complex (PIC) for basal transcription. During transcription initiation, TFIIH melts promoter DNA through the ATPase activity of its Ssl2 subunit. In the model eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae, after DNA melting, Pol II scans downstream for usable transcription start sites (TSSs). To understand the function of Ssl2/TFIIH in promoter scanning and TSS selection, we identified novel alleles of SSL2 in genetic screens for mutants defective in TSS distribution that may potentially arise from altered scanning. Consistent with this notion, these ssl2 alleles alter scanning in ways that are distinct from how changes to the Pol II active site alter scanning and this difference is observed genome-wide. Our investigations support two major pathways in controlling promoter scanning and TSS selection, one controlling the efficiency of initiation through Pol II activity or factors regulating Pol II activity; another network appears to control the processivity of scanning by Ssl2/TFIIH.
