Project description:Ribonucleotides are estimated to be the most common non-canonical nucleotides transiently incorporated in DNA. Their presence or failure of their removal can affect genome stability and mutations in factors involved in dNTP pool maintenance or ribonucleotide removal can cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome or promote certain human cancers. Here, we have mapped and quantitated ribonucleotides genome-wide, in nine tissues of wild-type mice. We observed tissue-specific variation in number and base identity of incorporated ribonucleotides and present evidence that a number of genomic features, such as tRNA genes, transcription start sites and G-quadruplexes, can increase the frequency of stably incorporated ribonucleotides in their proximity. Moreover, we present the non-random distribution of incorporated ribonucleotides in mtDNA and identified ribonucleotide hotpots. The study presents a framework to understand the physiological role of ribonucleotides in mammalian DNA.

Project description:Misincorporation of ribonucleotides into DNA during genome replication has recently become recognized as a significant source of genomic instability. The frequency of ribonucleotides in the genome is determined by dNTP/rNTP ratios, the ability of the DNA polymerases to discriminate against ribonucleotides, and by the capacity of repair mechanisms to remove misincorporated ribonucleotides. To simultaneously compare how the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes incorporate and remove ribonucleotides, we challenged these processes by imbalancing cellular dNTP pools. Using a collection of yeast strains with altered dNTP pools, we discovered an inverse relationship between the concentration of individual dNTPs and the amount of the corresponding ribonucleotides incorporated in mitochondrial DNA, while in nuclear DNA the ribonucleotide pattern was only altered in the absence of ribonucleotide excision repair. Our analysis uncovers major differences in ribonucleotide repair between the two genomes and provides concrete evidence that yeast mitochondria lack mechanisms for repair of misincorporated ribonucleotides.

Project description:Previous work has demonstrated the presence of ribonucleotides in human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and in the present study we use a genome-wide approach to precisely map the location of these. We find that ribonucleotides are distributed evenly between the heavy- and light-strand of mtDNA. The relative levels of incorporated ribonucleotides reflect that DNA polymerase γ discriminates the four ribonucleotides differentially during DNA synthesis. The observed pattern is also dependent on the mitochondrial deoxyribonucleotide (dNTP) pools and disease-causing mutations that change these pools alter both the absolute and relative levels of incorporated ribonucleotides. Our analyses strongly suggest that DNA polymerase γ-dependent incorporation is the main source of ribonucleotides in mtDNA and argues against the existence of a mitochondrial ribonucleotide excision repair pathway in human cells. Furthermore, we clearly demonstrate that when dNTP pools are limiting, ribonucleotides serve as a source of building blocks to maintain DNA replication and genome stability. Increased levels of embedded ribonucleotides in patient cells with disturbed nucleotide pools may constitute to a pathogenic mechanism that affects mtDNA stability and impair new rounds of mtDNA replication

Project description:Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a sensitive and valuable technique to characterize cellular subpopulations and great advances have been made using this approach. Cells are often fixed with formaldehyde prior to the sorting process to preserve cell morphology and maintain the expression of surface molecules, as well as to ensure safety in the sorting of infected cells. It is widely recognized that formaldehyde fixation alters RNA and DNA structure and integrity, thus analyzing gene expression in these cells has been difficult. We therefore examined the effects of formaldehyde fixation on the stability and quantitation of nucleic acids in cell lines, primary leukocytes and also cells isolated from SIV-infected pigtailed macaques. We developed a method to extract RNA from fixed cells that yielded the same amount of RNA as our common method of RNA isolation from fresh cells. Quantitation of RNA by RT-qPCR in fixed cells was not always comparable with that in unfixed cells. In comparison, when RNA was measured by the probe-based NanoString system, there was no significant difference in RNA quantitation. In addition, we demonstrated that quantitation of proviral DNA in fixed cells by qPCR is comparable to that in unfixed cells when normalized by a single-copy cellular gene. These results provide a systematic procedure to quantitate gene expression in cells that have been fixed with formaldehyde and sorted by FACS.

Project description:Ribonucleotides are frequently incorporated into DNA and can be used as a marker of DNA replication enzymology. To investigate on a genome-wide scale, how E. coli pol V accesses undamaged chromosomal DNA during the SOS response, we mapped the location of ribonucleotides incorporated by steric gate variants of pol V across the entire E. coli genome. To do so, we used strains that are deficient in ribonucleotide excision repair (DrnhB), constitutively express all SOS-regulated genes [lexA(Def)] and constitutively “activated” RecA* (recA730). The strains also harbor two steric gate variants of E. coli pol V (Y11A or F10L), or a homolog of pol V, (pol VR391-Y13A). Ribonucleotides are frequently incorporated by the pol V-Y11A and pol VR391-Y13A variants, with a preference to the lagging strand. In contrast, the pol V-F10L variant incorporates less ribonucleotides and no strand preference was observed. Sharp transitions in strand specificity are observed at replication origin (oriC), while a gradient is observed at the termination region. To activate RecA* in a recA+ strain, we treated the strains with ciprofloxacin and genome-wide mapped the location of the incorporated ribonucleotides. Again, the polV-Y11A steric gate variant, exhibited a lagging strand preference. Our data is consistent with a specific role for pol V in lagging strand DNA synthesis across the entire E. coli genome during the SOS response.

We compared RNA quantitation between unfixed and formaldehyde-fixed cells using the NanoString nCounter system. This analysis was performed using two cell lines, K562 and CEMx174, and human PBMCs. Three biological replicates were performed for each cell type. We also performed this comparison using human PBMCs sorted by FACS. For this analysis, we isolated PBMCs from two donors and performed two technical replicates for each donor sample.

Project description:Multiple DNA polymerases are needed to replicate genetic information. Here we describe the use of ribonucleotide incorporation as a biomarker of replication enzymology in vivo. We find that ribonucleotides are incorporated into the yeast nuclear genome in replicase specific and strand-specific patterns that identify replication origins and where polymerase switching occurs. Ribonucleotide density varies across the genome as a function of the replicase, base, local sequence and proximity to nucleosomes and transcription start sites. Ribonucleotides are present in one strand at high densityat mitochondrial replication origins, implying unidirectional replication of a circular genome. The evolutionary conservation of the enzymes that incorporate and process ribonucleotides in DNA suggests that the use of ribonucleotides as biomarkers of DNA synthesis in cells will have widespread applicability. Mapping genomic ribonucleotides in 14 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (seven DNA polymerase backgrounds, with or without RNH201), via HydEn-seq (end sequencing of genomic fragments generated by alkaline hydrolysis).
