HPF1-dependent PARP activation promotes LIG3-XRCC1-mediated backup pathway of Okazaki fragment ligation.

ABSTRACT: DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) is known as the major DNA ligase responsible for Okazaki fragment joining. Recent studies have implicated LIG3 complexed with XRCC1 as an alternative player in Okazaki fragment joining in cases where LIG1 is not functional, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, using a cell-free system derived from Xenopus egg extracts, we demonstrated the essential role of PARP1-HPF1 in LIG3-dependent Okazaki fragment joining. We found that Okazaki fragments were eventually ligated even in the absence of LIG1, employing in its place LIG3-XRCC1, which was recruited onto chromatin. Concomitantly, LIG1 deficiency induces ADP-ribosylation of histone H3 in a PARP1-HPF1-dependent manner. The depletion of PARP1 or HPF1 resulted in a failure to recruit LIG3 onto chromatin and a subsequent failure in Okazaki fragment joining in LIG1-depleted extracts. Importantly, Okazaki fragments were not ligated at all when LIG1 and XRCC1 were co-depleted. Our results suggest that a unique form of ADP-ribosylation signaling promotes the recruitment of LIG3 on chromatin and its mediation of Okazaki fragment joining as a backup system for LIG1 perturbation.

Project description:RNA-DNA hybrids are common in chromosomal DNA. Persistent RNA-DNA hybrids result in replication fork stress, DNA breaks, and neurological disorders in humans. During replication, Okazaki fragment synthesis relies on frequent RNA primer placement, providing one of the most prominent forms of covalent RNA-DNA strands in vivo The mechanism of Okazaki fragment maturation, which involves RNA removal and subsequent DNA replacement, in bacteria lacking RNase HI remains unclear. In this work, we reconstituted repair of a linear model Okazaki fragment in vitro using purified recombinant enzymes from Bacillus subtilis We showed that RNase HII and HIII are capable of incision on Okazaki fragments in vitro and that both enzymes show mild stimulation by single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB). We also showed that RNase HIII and DNA polymerase I provide the primary pathway for Okazaki fragment maturation in vitro Furthermore, we found that YpcP is a 5' to 3' nuclease that can act on a wide variety of RNA- and DNA-containing substrates and exhibits preference for degrading RNA in model Okazaki fragments. Together, our data showed that RNase HIII and DNA polymerase I provide the primary pathway for Okazaki fragment maturation, whereas YpcP also contributes to the removal of RNA from an Okazaki fragment in vitroIMPORTANCE All cells are required to resolve the different types of RNA-DNA hybrids that form in vivo When RNA-DNA hybrids persist, cells experience an increase in mutation rate and problems with DNA replication. Okazaki fragment synthesis on the lagging strand requires an RNA primer to begin synthesis of each fragment. The mechanism of RNA removal from Okazaki fragments remains unknown in bacteria that lack RNase HI. We examined Okazaki fragment processing in vitro and found that RNase HIII in conjunction with DNA polymerase I represent the most efficient repair pathway. We also assessed the contribution of YpcP and found that YpcP is a 5' to 3' exonuclease that prefers RNA substrates with activity on Okazaki and flap substrates in vitro.
