Drosophila, which Lacks Canonical Transcription-Coupled Repair Proteins, Performs Transcription-Coupled Repair


ABSTRACT: Previous work with the classic T4 Endonuclease V digestion of irradiated Drosophila DNA followed by Southern hybridization led to the conclusion that Drosophila lacked transcription-coupled repair (TCR). This conclusion was reinforced by the Drosophila Genome Project which revealed that Drosophila lacked CSA, CSB, or UVSSA homologs, whose orthologs are present in eukaryotes that carry out TCR ranging from Arabidopsis to humans. A recently developed in vivo excision assay and the Excision Repair-sequencing (XR-seq) method have enabled genome-wide analysis of nucleotide excision repair in various organisms at single nucleotide resolution and strand-specific manner. Using these methods, we have discovered that Drosophila S2 cells carry out robust TCR comparable to that observed in mammalian cells. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of TCR among various species.
