Project description:Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by non-homologous end-joining is critical for neural development, and brain cells frequently contain somatic genomic variations that might involve DSB intermediates. We now use an unbiased, high-throughput approach to identify genomic regions harboring recurrent DSBs in primary neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). We identify 27 recurrent DSB clusters (RDCs) and, remarkably, all occur within gene bodies. Most of these NSPC RDCs were detected only upon mild, aphidicolin-induced replication stress, providing a nucleotide-resolution view of replication-associated genomic fragile sites. The vast majority of RDCs occur in long, transcribed, and late-replicating genes. Moreover, almost 90% of identified RDC-containing genes are involved in synapse function and/or neural cell adhesion, with a substantial fraction also implicated in tumor suppression and/or mental disorders. Our characterization of NSPC RDCs reveals a basis of gene fragility and suggests potential impacts of DNA breaks on neurodevelopment and neural functions. We performed high-throughput, genome-wide, translocation sequencing (HTGTS) and GRO-seq in primary mouse neural stem/progenitor cells of the indicated genotypes.

Project description:Drosophila Insulator proteins mediate long-range chromosomal interactions. ChIP-seq revealed that binding of insulator proteins to some specific DNA sites was regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in S2 cells. Three insulator sites regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation were used as baits to map their distant interacting sites using 4C assay in control S2 cells.

Project description:Antibody class switch recombination (CSR) in B lymphocytes joins two DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) lying 100 to 200 kilobases (kb) apart within switch (S) regions in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH). CSR-activated B lymphocytes generate multiple S-region DSBs in the donor Sm and in a downstream acceptor S region, with a DSB in Sm being joined to a DSB in the acceptor S region at sufficient frequency to drive CSR in a large fraction of activated B cells. Such frequent joining of widely separated CSR DSBs could be promoted by IgH-specific or B cell-specific processes or by general aspects of chromosome architecture and DSB repair. Previously, we found that B cells with two yeast I-SceI endonuclease targets in place of Sg1 undergo I-SceI-dependent class switching from IgM to IgG1 at 5-10% of normal levels. Now, we report that B cells in which Sg1 is replaced with a 28 I-SceI target array, designed to increase I-SceI DSB frequency, undergo I-SceI-dependent class switching at almost normal levels. High-throughput genome-wide translocation sequencing revealed that I-SceI-generated DSBs introduced in cis at Sm and Sg1 sites are joined together in T cells at levels similar to those of B cells. Such high joining levels also occurred between I-SceI-generated DSBs within c-myc and I-SceI- or CRISPR/Cas9-generated DSBs 100 kb downstream within Pvt1 in B cells or fibroblasts, respectively. We suggest that CSR exploits a general propensity of intra-chromosomal DSBs separated by several hundred kb to be frequently joined together and discuss relevance of this finding for recurrent interstitial deletions in cancer.

Project description:RAG initiates V(D)J recombination in developing lymphocytes by generating "on-target" DNA double-stranded breaks at bona fide recombination signal sequence (RSS) pairs. We now employ RAG-generated DNA breaks in endogenous or ectopically-inserted RSS pairs as bait to identify huge numbers of RAG "off-target" sites. These off-target DNA breaks occur across convergent CTCF-binding element (CBE)-flanked loop domains containing the bait RSS pairs. Such off-target cleavage occurs at the simple CAC motif that defines the RSS cleavage-site and shows orientation-dependence best explained by a two-dimensional tracking mechanism. Deletion of the CBE-based IGCR1 IgH regulatory element disrupts antibody IgH recombination domains and, correspondingly, alters distributions of RAG on- and off-targets across the IgH locus. RAG off-targets frequently involved in chromosomal translocations occur in convergent RSS pairs at enhancer regions within a loop. Our findings reveal how RAG is developmentally focused and re-focused in lymphocytes and implicate mechanisms by which chromatin domains harness biological processes within them. We performed high-throughput genome-wide translocation sequencing (HTGTS) in progenitor B cells or cell lines to study signatures of RAG on and off-targeting activity using RAG-generated breaks in endogenous or ectopically-inserted paired bona fide RSSs as bait. Sequenceing was dong by Illumina Miseq.

Project description:During V(D)J recombination antibody diversity is enhanced by non-templated junctional modifications that generate immensely diverse heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) complementarity-determining 3 antigen-contact regions (CDR3s). We previously developed a mouse model that generates diverse antibody repertoires by rearranging a single human VH1-2 and Vk1-33, associated with highly diverse CDR3s generated by V(D)J recombination with mouse Ds and/or Js. Immunization of this model with SARS-CoV-2 D614G spike elicited an antibody that potently neutralized SARS-CoV-2 variants through Omicron BA.2.754. Here, we report a next generation mouse model in which a single VH1-2 rearranges to human D3-3 and JH6, generating diverse HC-CDR3s much longer on average than those of our prior model. Omicron BA.4/.5 spike ferritin nanoparticle-immunization of the new model elicited four highly-related humanized antibodies that potently neutralize downstream Omicron sub-variants. All four antibodies had 12 AA HC-CDR3s with two aromatic amino acids that engage an epitope comprising a hydrophobic patch opened-up by early omicron lineage mutations and conserved in subsequent variants. Immunization of our prior, shorter CDR3-based model, elicited slightly less potent neutralizing antibodies that bound the same Omicron epitope, and were similar in all other aspects to those from the long, fully-human CDR3 model. One tested antibody from each set reduced lung viral titers in a mouse-adapted BQ1.1 challenge. The antibodies we describe are highly related to, but more potent than, recently described antibodies from omicron-infected humans. These studies validate the utility of single human VH- and Vk-rearranging mice for discovering humanized antibodies that neutralize emerging pathogens.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes a multitude of accessory proteins. Using comparative genomic approaches, an additional accessory protein, ORF3c, has been predicted to be encoded within the ORF3a sgmRNA. Expression of ORF3c during infection has been confirmed independently by ribosome profiling. Despite ORF3c also being present in the 2002-2003 SARS-CoV, its function has remained unexplored. Here we show that ORF3c localises only to mitochondria during infection, where it inhibits innate immunity by restricting IFN-β production, but not NF-κB activation or JAK-STAT signalling downstream of type I IFN stimulation. We find that ORF3c acts after stimulation with cytoplasmic RNA helicases RIG-I or MDA5 or adaptor protein MAVS, but not after TRIF, TBK1 or phospho-IRF3 stimulation. ORF3c co-immunoprecipitates with the antiviral proteins MAVS and PGAM5 and induces MAVS cleavage by caspase-3. Unlike early lineage SARS-CoV-2 strains, delta variant strains lack intact ORF3c and do not cleave MAVS to the same extent. Together, these data provide insight into an uncharacterised mechanism of innate immune evasion by this important human pathogen. We suggest a model whereby ORF3c inhibits PGAM5-induced mitophagy and instead induces apoptosis, accompanied by caspase-3 activation. This repository contains data associated with the SARS-CoV-2 ORF3C SILAC AP-MS portions of this work.
