Genome-wide High Resolution Mapping of Mitotic DNA Synthesis Sites and Common Fragile Sites by Direct Sequencing [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Common fragile sites (CFSs) are genomic loci prone to the formation of breaks or gaps on metaphase chromosomes. Here, we seek to map human CFSs with high resolution on a genome-wide scale by sequencing the sites of mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDASeq) that are specific for CFSs. We generated a nucleotide-resolution atlas of MiDAS sites (MDSs) that covered most of know CFSs, and comprehensively analyzed their sequence characteristics and genomic features.

3D genome organization, transcription and aberrant DNA replication contribute to genome instability at fragile sites

Project description:Common fragile sites (CFSs) are regions susceptible to replication stress and are hotspots for chromosomal instability in cancer. Several features characterizing CFSs have been associated with their instability, however, these features are prevalent across the genome and do not account for all known CFSs. Here we explored the DNA replication timing (RT) and transcriptional profile under mild replication stress in the context of the 3D genome organization. We report the analysis of DNA replication timing profiling of human fibroblasts (BJ-hTERT), grown with or without aphidicolin, a DNA polymerase inhibitor used to induce CFS expression. We find that aphidicolin treatment affects the RT of a small portion of the genome. However, CFSs are enriched for delayed RT regions under stress. We further study the mechanism leading to recurrent chromosomal instability at CFSs and find that the 3D genome organization underlies fragility at RT delayed large expressed genes. We report a fragility signature at the core of CFSs comprised of delayed replication of large expressed gene spanning over a TAD-boundary. The fragility signature allows for mapping of the core fragile site and the identification of novel fragile sites in BJ cells.

We find that aphidicolin treatment does not affect the transcriptional program. However, large expressed genes are susceptible to replication timing delay under stress.

MiDAS in BRCA2-deficient cells originate at early S-phase transcription-replication conflicts

Project description:Multiple replication abnormalities cause cells lacking BRCA2 to enter mitosis with under-replicated DNA and to activate mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS). However, the precise position of these MiDAS sites, as well as their origin, remains unknown. Here we labelled mitotic nascent DNA and performed high-throughput sequencing to identify at high-resolution the sites where MiDAS occurs in the absence of BRCA2. This approach revealed 150 genomic loci affected by MiDAS, which map within regions replicating during early S-phase and are therefore distinct from the aphidicolin-induced common fragile sites. Moreover, these sites largely localise near early firing origins and within genes transcribed in early S, suggesting that they stem from transcription-replication conflicts (TCRs). Inhibiting transcription with 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) during early S-phase abrogates MiDAS. Strikingly, MiDAS sites co-localise with genomic loci where R-loops form in unchallenged conditions, suggesting that R-loop accumulation caused by BRCA2 inactivation leads to DNA lesion which are repaired by MiDAS. RAD52 is required in this process, as its abrogation in BRCA2-deficient cells reduces the rate of MiDAS and causes DNA damage accumulation in G1. Furthermore, MiDAS sites triggered by BRCA2 inactivation are hotspots for genomic rearrangement in BRCA2-mutated breast tumours. These results indicate that BRCA2 acts in early S-phase to protect TRC- and R-loop-induced DNA lesions, thereby preventing them from becoming a source of genomic instability and tumorigenesis.

Proteomics characterization of Chromosomal Common Fragile Site (CFS) - associated proteins uncovers ATRX as a regulator of CFS stability

Project description:Chromosomal Common Fragile Sites (CFSs) are conserved regions of our genome prone to break in conditions of replication stress (RS. Here, we have performed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with FACND2 antibodies coupled to Mass Spectrometry to isolate CFSs from HeLa cells and identify the proteins enriched at these loci.

DRIP-sequencing U2OS

Project description:Here, we identify that a human DNA helicase RTEL1, which is known to play a role in the maintenance of telomeres by interacting with proteins in the shelterin complex by resolving G4 quadruplexes, is essential for prevention of R-loop accumulation during replication and for MiDAS in mitosis at both CFSs and telomeres. Our findings indicate that RTEL1 plays a genome-wide role in preventing the collapse of replication forks at sites of G-quadruplexes and R-loop formation. Considering cancer cells rely on RTEL1 function to resolve the elevated transcription-replication conflicts caused by oncogene activation, RTEL1 is a potential drug target for cancer therapy.

Helicobacter pylori infection induces DNA breaks at replication-coupled fragile sites by inducing dNTP depletion in CagA-independent manner

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is a significant risk factor for gastric cancer (GC) development. A growing body of evidence suggests a causal link between infection with H.pylori and increased DNA breakage in the host cells. While several mechanisms have been proposed for this damage, their relative impact on the overall bacterial genotoxicity is unknown. Moreover, the link between the formation of DNA damage following infection and the emergence of cancerous structural variants (SV) in the genome of infected cells remained unexplored. To resolve these gaps, we constructed high-resolution map of genomic H.pylori-induced recurrent break sites. Our data indicated that these sites are ubiquitous across cell types, localized at replication-related fragile sites, and their breakage is dependent on replication. Consistent with that, we found that H.pylori inflicts nucleotide depletion, and that rescuing the nucleotide pool largely reduced H.pylori-induced DNA breaks. Intriguingly, we found that this genotoxic mechanism operates independently of the H.pylori virulence factor, CagA, which was previously implicated in increasing DNA damage by downregulating the DNA damage response. Finally, we show that sites of recurrent H.pylori-mediated breaks coincide with chromosomal deletions observed in patients with intestinal-type GC, and that this link potentially elucidates the persistent transcriptional alterations observed in cancer driver genes. These findings establish the link between H.pylori genotoxicity, and its oncogenic potential.
