Project description:Secondary diversification of antibodies through somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) is a critical component of the immune response. Activation-induced deaminase (AID) initiates both processes by deaminating cytosine residues in immunoglobulin genes. The resulting U:G mismatch can be processed by alternative pathways to give rise to a mutation (SHM) or a DNA double-strand break (CSR). Central to this processing is the activity of uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG), an enzyme normally involved in error-free base excision repair. We used next generation sequencing to analyze the contribution of UNG to the resolution of AID-induced lesions. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments showed that UNG activity can promote both error-prone and high fidelity repair of U:G lesions. Unexpectedly, the balance between these alternative outcomes was influenced by the sequence context of the deaminated cytosine, with individual hotspots exhibiting higher susceptibility to UNG-triggered error-free or error-prone resolution. These results reveal UNG as a new molecular layer that shapes the specificity of AID-induced mutations and may provide new insights into the role of AID in cancer development. Next Generation Sequencing analysis of mutations introduced by AID in activated B lymphocytes from WT and UNG-/- mice (n=4). Activated B cells from AID-/- mice (n=2) were used as negative controls.

Next Generation Sequencing analysis of mutations introduced by AID in non B cells. NIH-3T3 cells were co-transduced with mOrangeSTOP and AID-ERM-bM-^@M-^Sexpressing vectors, together with Ugi (UNG inhibitor), UNG, or empty vector as control (n=3). Transduced cells were cultured in the presence of OHT during 11 d. AID-E58Q-ER vector (catalytically inactive form of AID) was used as a negative control in combination with the previously described constructions (n=3).

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been used extensively to study responses to DNA damage. In contrast, little is known about DNA repair in this organism. C. elegans is unusual in that it encodes few DNA glycosylases and the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) encoded by the ung-1 gene is the only known UDG. C. elegans could therefore become a valuable model organism for studies of the genetic interaction networks involving base excision repair (BER). As a first step towards characterization of BER in C. elegans, we show that the UNG-1 protein is an active uracil-DNA glycosylase. We demonstrate that an ung-1 mutant has reduced ability to repair uracil-containing DNA but that an alternative Ugi-inhibited activity is present in ung-1 nuclear extracts. Finally, we demonstrate that ung-1 mutants show altered levels of apoptotic cell corpses formed in response to DNA damaging agents. Increased apoptosis in the ung-1 mutant in response to ionizing radiation (IR) suggests that UNG-1 contributes to repair of IR-induced DNA base damage in vivo. Following treatment with paraquat however, the apoptotic corpse-formation was reduced. Gene expression profiling suggests that this phenotype is a consequence of compensatory transcriptomic shifts that modulate oxidative stress responses in the mutant and not an effect of reduced DNA damage signaling.

Project description:Current base editors use DNA deaminases, including cytidine deaminase in cytidine base editor (CBE) or adenine deaminase in adenine base editor (ABE), to facilitate transition nucleotide substitutions. Combining CBE or ABE with glycosylase enzymes can induce limited transversion mutations. Nonetheless, a critical demand remains for base editors capable of generating alternative mutation types, such as T>G corrections. In this study, we leveraged pre-trained protein language models to optimize a uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG) variant with altered specificity for thymines (eTDG). Notably, after two rounds of testing fewer than 50 top-ranking variants, more than 50% exhibited over 1.5-fold enhancement in enzymatic activities. When eTDG was fused with nCas9, it induced programmable T-to-S (G/C) substitutions and corrected db/db diabetic mutation in mice (up to 55%). Our findings not only establish orthogonal strategies for developing novel base editors, but also demonstrate the capacities of protein language models for optimizing enzymes without extensive task-specific training data.

Project description:To test the effects of uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) loss on the formation of double strand breaks (DSBs) by the anti-cancer agent pemetrexed, we performed ChIP-seq for serine 139-phosphorylated H2AX (gammaH2AX), a marker of DSBs, in human cells wild-type or deficient for UNG in combination with pemetrexed treatment. UNG deficiency results in an increase in DSBs upon pemetrexed treatment, and we found that pemetrexed treatment induces DSBs at different genomic locations in UNG wild-type and knockout cells. Similar results were observed upon cisplatin treatment of UNG wild-type and knockout cells, and the genomic locations of DSBs were distinct between pemetrexed-treated and cisplatin-treated samples. Taken together, our results suggest differential mechanisms for DSB formation in UNG-competent and UNG-deficient cells.

Project description:We report a new immunoprecipitation-coupled sequencing (DIP-Seq) application termed U-DNA-Seq, where a tailored and catalytically inactive uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) was used as uracil-DNA sensor to immunoprecipitate uracil containing genomic DNA fragments. Genomic uracil was profiled in drug-treated (5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (5FdUR) or raltitrexed (RTX)) or non-treated (NT) HCT116 cells expressing the UNG inhibitor (UGI). The same experiments were also performed in the mismatch repair proficient version of the HCT116 cells (HCT116MMR), where chromosome 3 is reinserted to restore functional MMR (PMID: 8044777). Moreover, wild-type HCT116 or K562 cells were also measured. We found that regions of uracil enrichment in this assay were rather broad as compared to the sharp peaks typical in ChIP-seq. Therefore, we applied an approach alternative to the conventional peak calling. Namely, we calculated genome scaled coverage tracks and log2 ratio tracks of the enriched versus the input samples using deepTools package (bamCoverage and bigwigCompare tools, respectively) to provide a more appropriate description of uracil-enriched genomic regions. Interval (bed) files were also derived from these log2 ratio tracks to be able to screen large datasets for colocalizing features with them. For wider context of the study, see the related publication.
