Project description:Head-on transcription-replication conflicts (HO-TRCs) cause R-loops and DNA damage. We realized that HO-TRCs are the natural competition for templating transcription and lagging replication in the same DNA strand (termed TemLag competition), however, the regulatory mechanisms behind are unclear. We previously identified a chloroplast-localized RNase H1 protein AtRNH1C that can remove R-loops and relax HO-TRCs for genome integrity. Through the mutagenesis screen, we identified that the chloroplast-localized primase ATH exacerbates TemLag competition in the atrnh1c mutant. A mutation in ATH weakens the binding affinity of DNA, thus slowing down DNA replication and relieving TemLag competition. Overexpression of ATH boosts TemLag competition and intensifies DNA damage. Interestingly, strand-specific DNA damage sequencing reveals that TemLag competition induces single-strand DNA damage of the competitive strand at the end of transcription. These results illustrated a potentially conserved mechanism among organisms, of which the primase antagonizes R-loop clearance machinery to exaggerate TemLag competition and genome instability.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification associated with transcriptional repression of promoters and is essential for mammalian development. Establishment of DNA methylation is mediated by the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B, whereas DNMT1 ensures maintenance of methylation through replication. Absence of these enzymes is lethal, and somatic mutations in these genes have been associated with several human diseases. How genomic DNA methylation patterns are regulated remains poorly understood, as the mechanisms that guide recruitment and activity of DNMTs in vivo are largely unknown. To gain insights into this matter we determined chromosomal binding and site-specific activity of the mammalian de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B. We show that both enzymes localize to methylated, CpG dense regions in mouse stem cells, yet are excluded from active promoters and enhancers. By specifically measuring sites of de novo methylation, we observe that enzymatic activity reflects chromosomal binding. De novo methylation increases with CpG density, yet is excluded from nucleosomes. Notably, we observed selective binding of DNMT3B to the bodies of transcribed genes, which leads to their preferential methylation. This targeting to transcribed sequences requires SETD2-mediated methylation of lysine 36 on histone H3 and a functional PWWP domain of DNMT3B. Together these findings reveal how sequence and chromatin cues guide de novo methyltransferase activity to ensure methylome integrity. Refer to individual Series

Project description:DNA methylation is critical for regulating gene expression, necessitating its accurate placement by enzymes such as the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A. Dysregulating this process is known to cause aberrant development and oncogenesis, yet how DNMT3A function is shaped holistically by its three domains remains challenging to study. Through in situ mutational scanning, we found mutations in the PWWP domain, a histone reader, that modulate enzyme activity by affecting DNA binding, despite preserving histone recognition and protein stability. To investigate the consequences of these mutations on DNMT3A function in cells, we expressed ectopic Dnmt3a2 variants in embryonic stem cells and used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing and histone modification ChIP-seq to study the resulting patterns of de novo DNA methylation. Our data show that PWWP domain DNA affinity is required for full activity in cells and constitutes a noncanonical function of the PWWP domain.

Project description:Begitt2014 - STAT1 cooperative DNA binding - double GAS polymer model
The importance of STAT1-cooperative DNA binding in type 1 and type 2 interferon signalling has been studies using experimental and modelling approaches. The authors have developed two ODE models to describe STAT1 binding to short promoter regions of DNA, namely "single GAS polymer model" and "double GAS polymer model" considering binding to single or double GAS sites, respectively. The length of DNA in the single GAS model was three sites and four sites in double GAS model. This model correspond to the "double GAS polymer model".
This model is described in the article:
STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling.

Nat Immunol. 2014 Feb;15(2):168-76.
Abstract:
STAT1 is an indispensable component of a heterotrimer (ISGF3) and a STAT1 homodimer (GAF) that function as transcription regulators in type 1 and type 2 interferon signaling, respectively. To investigate the importance of STAT1-cooperative DNA binding, we generated gene-targeted mice expressing cooperativity-deficient STAT1 with alanine substituted for Phe77. Neither ISGF3 nor GAF bound DNA cooperatively in the STAT1F77A mouse strain, but type 1 and type 2 interferon responses were affected differently. Type 2 interferon-mediated transcription and antibacterial immunity essentially disappeared owing to defective promoter recruitment of GAF. In contrast, STAT1 recruitment to ISGF3 binding sites and type 1 interferon-dependent responses, including antiviral protection, remained intact. We conclude that STAT1 cooperativity is essential for its biological activity and underlies the cellular responses to type 2, but not type 1 interferon.

Project description:Epigenetic memory in the form of cytosine methylation is essential for vertebrate development and the formation of cellular identity. Active removal of DNA methylation by the action of the TET hydroxylase family helps enable developmental potency, both in vivo and during creation of induced pluripotent stem cells. Despite this, little is known about how TET proteins are targeted to DNA. We report that mammalian TET enzymes show strong preference (>200 fold) for oxidising certain CG-containing hexamers in vitro, and during global methylation reprogramming in cultured cells and during embryogenesis. These preferred sequences, and also the most poorly targeted motifs, constitute recognition sites for developmental transcription factors whose binding activity is sensitive to DNA methylation. X-ray structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that TET proteins use indirect readout to sense the sequence context flanking CG sites. These results are significant for understanding epigenetic reprogramming during development and the biological role TET enzymes play in modulating epigenetic memory.
