Division-induced DNA double strand breaks in the chromosome terminus region of Escherichia coli lacking RecBCD DNA repair enzyme

ABSTRACT: RecBCD protein complex is an important player of DSB repair in bacteria and bacteria that cannot repair DNA double-stranded breaks (DSB) have a low viability. Whole genome sequencing analyses showed a deficit in specific sequences of the chromosome terminus region in recB mutant cells, suggesting terminus DNA degradation during growth. We studied here the phenomenon of terminus DNA loss by 42 whole genome sequencing and microscopy analyses of exponentially growing bacteria. We tested all processes known to take place in the chromosome terminus region for a putative role in DNA loss: replication fork termination, dimer resolution, resolution of catenated chromosomes, and translocation of the chromosome arms in daughter cells during septum formation. None of the mutations that affect these processes prevents the phenomenon. However, we observed that terminus DNA loss is abolished in cells that cannot divide. We propose that in cells defective for RecBCD-mediated DSB repair the terminus region of the chromosome remains in the way of the growing septum during cell division, then septum closure triggers chromosome breakage and, in turn, DNA degradation.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

Global analysis of double-strand break processing reveals in vivo properties of the helicase-nuclease complex AddAB

Project description:In bacteria, double-strand break (DSB) repair via homologous recombination is thought to be initiated through the bi-directional degradation and resection of DNA ends by a helicase-nuclease complex such as AddAB. The activity of AddAB has been well-studied in vitro, with translocation speeds between 400-2000 bp/s on linear DNA suggesting that a large section of DNA around a break site is processed for repair. However, the translocation rate and activity of AddAB in vivo is not known, and how AddAB is regulated to prevent excessive DNA degradation around a break site is unclear. To examine the functions and mechanistic regulation of AddAB inside bacterial cells, we developed a next-generation sequencing-based approach to assay DNA processing after a site-specific DSB was introduced on the chromosome of Caulobacter crescentus. Using this assay we determined the in vivo rates of DSB processing by AddAB and found that putative chi sites attenuate processing in a RecA-dependent manner. This RecA-mediated regulation of AddAB prevents the excessive loss of DNA around a break site, limiting the effects of DSB processing on transcription. In sum, our results, taken together with prior studies, support a mechanism for regulating AddAB that couples two key events of DSB repair-the attenuation of DNA-end processing and the initiation of homology search by RecA-thereby helping to ensure that genomic integrity is maintained during DSB repair.

Mapping of meiotic single-stranded DNA reveals double-strand break hotspots near centromeres and telomeres.

Project description:Every chromosome requires at least one crossover to be faithfully segregated during meiosis. At least two levels of regulation govern crossover distribution; where the initiating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur and whether those DSBs are repaired as crossovers. We mapped meiotic DSBs in budding yeast by identifying sites of DSB-associated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulation. These analyses revealed substantial DSB activity in regions close to centromeres, where crossover formation is largely absent. Our data suggest that centromeric suppression of recombination occurs at the level of break repair rather than DSB formation. Additionally, we found an enrichment of DSBs within a ~100-kb region near the ends of all chromosomes. Introduction of new telomeres was sufficient to induce large ectopic regions of increased DSB formation, revealing a remarkable long-range effect of telomeres on DSB formation. The concentration of DSBs close to chromosome ends increases the relative DSB density on small chromosomes, providing an interference-independent mechanism to ensure that all chromosomes receive at least one crossover per homolog pair. Together, our results indicate that selective DSB repair accounts for crossover suppression near centromeres, and suggest a simple telomere-guided mechanism to ensure sufficient DSB activity on all chromosomes.

Chromatin compartmentalization regulates the response to DNA damage

Project description:DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) repair is essential to safeguard genome integrity but little is known about the contribution of chromosome folding into these processes. Here we unveiled basic principles of chromosome dynamics occurring post-DSB both locally and at a genome wide scale in mammalian cells. We report that topologically associating domains (TAD) that experience a DSB undergo acute ATM-dependent but DNAPK- independent changes. Within these damaged TADs, DSB-induced loop extrusion ensures local transcriptional regulation in response to DSBs. Damaged TADs further coalesce in an ATM-dependent manner, forming a new “D” compartment, where upregulated genes of the DNA damage response (DDR) physically localize suggesting a function of DSB clustering in activating the DNA damage Response. However, these alterations of chromosome folding induced by DSB also come at the expense of an increased translocations rate. Our work highlights the critical impact of chromosome conformation in the maintenance of genome integrity.

Principles of chromosome organization for meiotic recombination

Project description:In meiotic cells, chromosomes are organized as chromatin loop arrays anchored to a protein axis. This organization is essential to regulate meiotic recombination, from DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation to their repair. In mammals, it is unknown how chromatin loops are organized along the genome and how proteins participating in DSB formation are tethered to the chromosome axes. Here, we identified three categories of axis-associated genomic sites: PRDM9 binding sites, where DSBs form, binding sites of the insulator protein CTCF, and H3K4me3-enriched sites. We demonstrated that PRDM9 promotes the recruitment of MEI4 and IHO1, two proteins essential for DSB formation. In turn, IHO1 anchors DSB sites to the axis components HORMAD1 and SYCP3. We discovered that IHO1, HORMAD1 and SYCP3 are associated at the DSB ends during DSB repair. Our results highlight how interactions of proteins with specific genomic elements shape the meiotic chromosome organization for recombination.

The DNA Double-Strand Break Response Is Abnormal in Myeloblasts From Patients With Therapy-Related Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:In order to examine if the upregulation of DNA repair genes on chromosome 8 was associated with the abnormal DSB phenotype observed in trisomy 8 (defined by array CGH or cytogenetics), we compared the mRNA levels of DNA repair genes on chromosome 8 in trisomy 8 t-AML patients versus normal t-AML gammaH2AX responders using gene expression array data. Bone marrow cells taken directly from patients after written informed consent were cryopreserved, RNA extracted, and microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix U133plus2 chips.

Post-replicative formation of cohesion is required for repair and induced by a single DNA break

Project description:Sister chromatid cohesion, established during replication by the protein complex Cohesin, is essential for both chromosome segregation and double-strand break (DSB) repair. Normally cohesion formation is strictly limited to the S-phase of the cell cycle, but DSBs can trigger cohesion also after DNA replication has been completed. The function of this damage-induced cohesion remains unknown. In this investigation we show that it is essential for repair in post-replicative cells in yeast. Furthermore, it is established genome-wide after induction of a single DSB, and controlled by the DNA damage response and Cohesin regulating factors. We thus define a cohesion establishment pathway that is independent of DNA duplication and acts together with cohesion formed during replication in sister chromatid-based DSB repair. Keywords: ChIP-chip analysis
