Project description:Mutations in the SETX gene, which encodes Senataxin, are associated with the progressive neurodegenerative diseases ataxia with oculomotor apraxia 2 (AOA2) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 4 (ALS4). To identify the causal defect in AOA2, patient-derived cells and SETX knockouts (human and mouse) were analyzed using integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches. A genome-wide increase in chromosome instability (gains and losses) within genes and at chromosome fragile sites was observed, resulting in changes to gene-expression profiles. Transcription stress near promoters correlated with high GCskew and the accumulation of R-loops at promoter-proximal regions, which localized with chromosomal regions where gains and losses were observed. In the absence of Senataxin, the Cockayne syndrome protein CSB was required for the recruitment of the transcription-coupled repair endonucleases (XPG and XPF) and RAD52 recombination protein to target and resolve transcription bubbles containing R-loops, leading to genomic instability. These results show that transcription stress is an important contributor to SETX mutation-associated chromosome fragility and AOA2.

To identify the causal defect in AOA2, patient-derived cells and SETX knockouts (human and mouse) were analyzed using integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches. We observed a genome-wide increase in chromosome instability (gains and losses) within genes and at chromosome fragile sites, resulting in changes to gene expression profiles. Senataxin loss caused increased RNA polymerase II pausing events (transcription stress) near promoters that correlated with high GCskew and R-loop accumulation at promoter-proximal regions. Notably, the chromosomal regions with gains and losses overlapped with regions of elevated transcription stress. Aberrant R-loops were resolved by transcription-coupled repair (TCR), in reactions dependent upon the Cockayne Syndrome protein CSB. We found that CSB was required for the recruitment of the TCR endonucleases XPG and XPF, and recombination factors to target and resolve transcription bubbles containing R-loops and promote genomic instability. These results show that cells derived from individuals with Ataxia with Oculomotor Apraxia 2 exhibit transcription stress giving rise to genome-wide chromosomal fragility, termed transcription stress-induced fragile sites (TSFS), in transcribed regions of the mammalian genome.
