CtIP-mediated DNA resection is dispensable for IgH class switch recombination by alternative end-joining

ABSTRACT: To generate antibodies with different effector functions, B cells undergo Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR). The ligation step of CSR is usually mediated by the classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) pathway. In cNHEJ-deficient cells, a remarkable ~25% CSR can be achieved by the alternative end-joining (A-EJ) pathway that preferentially uses microhomology (MH) at the junctions. While A-EJ mediated repair of endonuclease generated breaks requires DNA end-resection, we show that CtIP-mediated DNA end-resection is dispensable for A-EJ-mediated CSR using cNHEJ-deficient B cells. High-throughput sequencing analyses revealed that loss of ATM/ATR phosphorylation of CtIP at T855 or ATM kinase inhibition suppress resection without altering the MH-pattern of the A-EJ-mediated switch junctions. Moreover, we found that ATM kinase promotes Alt-EJ mediated CSR by suppressing inter-chromosomal translocations independent of end-resection. Finally, temperol analyses reveal that MHs are enriched in early internal deletions even in cNHEJ-proficient B cells. Thus, we propose that repetitive IgH switch regions represent favoriate substrates for MH-mediated end-joining contributing to the robustness and resection-indepndence of A-EJ-mediated CSR.

DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of CtIP at a conserved ATM/ATR site promotes lymphomagenesis in NHEJ/p53-double deficient mice

Project description:Human lymphoid malignancies are often characterized by oncogenic translocations involving the antigen receptor gene loci. CtIP is a DNA end-resection factor that has been widely implicated in alternative end-joining (A-EJ) mediated chromosomal translocations in reporters. The ATM and ATR kinases phosphorylate CtIP at T859 (T855 in mouse) and other sites to promote DNA end-resection. Using two classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) and Tp53-double deficient mouse models, we identified a role of CtIP T855 phosphorylation in the neonatal development of Xrcc4-/-Tp53-/- mice and the IgH-Myc translocation driven lymphomagenesis in DNA-PKcs-/-Tp53-/- mice. Mechanistically, we found that CtIP T855 phosphorylation is important for the progression of DNA end-resection, while dispensable for hairpin opening and inter-sister DNA break ligation. Moreover, we found that CtIP-T855 phosphorylation supports the proliferation of Myc-driven lymphoma cells by promoting the transition from ATM-mediated to ATR-mediated G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. Correspondingly, the CtIP-T855A mutation delays splenomegaly in l-Myc mice. Collectively, our findings suggest that DNA damage-induced CtIP phosphorylation has a checkpoint function during lymphomagenesis independent of its role in A-EJ-mediated chromosomal translocation

DNA Double-strand Break Response Factors Influence End-joining Features of IgH Class Switch and General Translocation junctions

Project description:IgH class switch recombination (CSR) in B lymphocytes switches IgH constant regions to change antibody functions. CSR is initiated by DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) within a donor IgH switch (S) region and a downstream acceptor S region. CSR is completed by fusing donor and acceptor S region DSB ends by classical non-homologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) and, in its absence, by alternative end-joining (A-EJ) that is more biased to use longer junctional micro-homologies (MHs). Deficiency for DSB response (DSBR) factors, including ATM and 53BP1, variably impair CSR end-joining, with 53BP1 deficiency having the greatest impact. However, studies of potential impact of DSBR factor deficiencies on MH-mediated CSR end-joining have been technically limited. We now use a robust DSB joining assay to elucidate impacts of deficiencies for DSBR factors on CSR and chromosomal translocation junctions in primary mouse B cells and CH12F3 B lymphoma cells. Compared to wild-type, CSR and c-Myc to S region translocation junctions in the absence of 53BP1, and to a lesser extent other DSBR factors, have increased MH-utilization; indeed, 53BP1-deficient MH-profiles resemble those associated with C-NHEJ deficiency. Yet, translocation junctions between c-Myc DSB and general DSBs genome-wide are not MH-biased in ATM-deficient versus wild-type CH12F3 cells and less biased in 53BP1- and C-NHEJ-deficient cells than CSR junctions or c-Myc to S region translocation junctions. We discuss potential roles of DSBR factors in suppressing increased MH-mediated DSB end-joining and features of S regions that may render their DSBs prone to MH-biased end-joining in the absence of DSBR factors.

Kinase-dependent structural role of DNA-PKcs during immunoglobulin class switch recombination

Project description:The catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) is a classical nonhomologous end-joining (cNHEJ) factor. Loss of DNA-PKcs diminished mature B cell class switch recombination (CSR) to other isotypes, but not IgG1. Here, we show that expression of the kinase-dead DNA-PKcs (DNA-PKcsKD/KD) severely compromises CSR to IgG1. High-throughput sequencing analyses of CSR junctions reveal frequent accumulation of nonproductive interchromosomal translocations, inversions, and extensive end resection in DNA-PKcsKD/KD, but not DNA-PKcs-/- B cells. Meanwhile, the residual joints from DNA-PKcsKD/KDcells and the efficient Sμ-Sγ1 junctions from DNA-PKcs-/- B cells both display similar preferences for small (2–6 nt) microhomologies (MH). In DNA-PKcs-/- cells, Sμ-Sγ1 joints are more resistant to inversions and extensive resection than Sμ-Se and Sμ-Sμ joints, providing a mechanism for the isotype-specific CSR defects. Together, our findings identify a kinase-dependent role of DNA-PKcs in suppressing MH-mediated end joining and a structural role of DNA-PKcs protein in the orientation of CSR.

DNA-PKcs phosphorylation at the T2609 cluster alters the repair pathway choice during immunoglobulin class switch recombination

Project description:The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which is composed of the KU heterodimer and the large catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), is a classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) factor. Naïve B cells undergo class switch recombination (CSR) to generate antibodies with different isotypes by joining two DNA double-strand breaks at different switching regions via the cNHEJ pathway. DNA-PK and the cNHEJ pathway play important roles in the DNA repair phase of CSR. To initiate cNHEJ, KU binds to DNA ends and recruits and activates DNA-PK. Activated DNA-PK phosphorylates DNA-PKcs at the S2056 and T2609 clusters. Loss of T2609 cluster phosphorylation increases radiation sensitivity but whether T2609 phosphorylation has a role in physiological DNA repair remains elusive. Using the DNA-PKcs5A mouse model carrying alanine substitutions at the T2609 cluster, here we show that loss of T2609 phosphorylation of DNA-PKcs does not affect the CSR efficiency. Yet, the CSR junctions recovered from DNA-PKcs5A/5A B cells reveal increased chromosomal translocations, extensive use of distal switch regions (consistent with end-resection), and preferential usage of micro-homology – all signs of the alternative end-joining pathway. Thus, these results uncover a role of DNA-PKcs T2609 phosphorylation in promoting cNHEJ repair pathway choice during CSR.

CtIP is essential for early B cell proliferation and development in mice

Project description:B cell development requires efficient proliferation and successful assembly and modifications of the immunoglobulin gene products. CtIP is an essential gene implicated in end-resection and DNA repair. Here we show that CtIP is essential for early B cell development, while dispensable in naïve B cells. CtIP loss is well-tolerated in G1 arrested B cells and during V(D)J recombination. But, in proliferating B cells, CtIP loss leads to a progressive cell death characterized by ATM hyper-activation, G2/M arrest, genomic instability, and 53BP1 nuclear body formation, indicating that the essential role of CtIP during proliferation underscores its stage-specific requirement in B cells. B cell proliferation requires phosphorylation of CtIP at T847 presumably by CDK, but not its interaction with CtBP, Rb, nor its nuclease activity. CtIP phosphorylation by ATM/ATR at T859 (T855 in mice) promotes end-resection in G1 arrested cells, but dispensable for B cell development and class switch recombination, suggesting distinct roles for T859 and T847 phosphorylation in B cell development.

SHLD1 is dispensable for 53BP1-dependent V(D)J recombination but critical for productive class switch recombination

Project description:The shieldin (SHLD) complex, composed of SHLD1, SHLD2, SHLD3 and MAD2L2/REV7, acts downstream of 53BP1 to counteract DNA double-strand break (DSB) end-resection and promote non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). While 53BP1 is essential for immunoglobulin heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR), long-range V(D)J recombination and for repair of RAG-induced DSBs in XLF-deficient cells, the role of SHLD in these activities remains elusive. Here, we report that contrary to 53BP1, SHLD1 is dispensable for lymphocyte development and V(D)J recombination, even in the sensitized XLF-deficient background or for the joining of distant V(D)J segments. By contrast, SHLD1 restricts resection at AID-induced DSB ends in both NHEJ-proficient and NHEJ-deficient B cells, providing an end-protection mechanism that permits productive CSR. Finally, we show that this end-protection function is required for orientation-specific joining of AID-initiated DSBs. We propose that 53BP1 promotes V(D)J recombination and CSR through two distinct mechanisms; the synapsis of V(D)J segments and switch regions within chromatin independently of SHLD and the protection of AID-DSB ends against resection mediated by SHLD.

DNA-PKcs Suppresses Illegitimate Chromosome Rearrangements

Project description:Two DNA repair pathways, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and alternative end joining (A-EJ), are involved in V(D)J recombination and chromosome translocation. Previous studies reported distinct repair mechanisms for chromosome translocation, with NHEJ predominantly involved in human and A-EJ in mice. NHEJ depends on DNA-PKcs, a critical partner in synapsis formation and downstream component activation. While DNA-PKcs inhibition promotes chromosome translocations harboring microhomologies in mice, its synonymous effect in human is not known. We find partial DNA-PKcs inhibition in human cell lines leads to increased genome-wide translocations composed mostly of direct joints, indicating the continued involvement of dampened NHEJ in these processes. In contrast, complete DNA-PKcs inhibition and genetic inhibition DNA-PKcs kinase domain substantially increased microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), thus bridging the two different translocation mechanisms between human and mice. Similar to a previous study on Ku70 deletion, DNA-PKcs deletion in G1/G0-phase mouse pro-B cell lines, impair the recombination of RAG1/2-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This DNA-PKcs-deficient repair mechanism exhibited reduced V(D)J recombination efficiency, increased end resection, decreased polymerase-mediated insertions, loss of recombination fidelity and generated relatively higher rates of chromosome translocation as a consequence of dysregulated coding and signal end joining. Our study underscores DNA-PKcs in suppressing illegitimate chromosome rearrangement in both species.

Ku70 and Ligase IV deficiencies reveal distinct alternative end-joining outcomes in G1-arrested progenitor B cells

Project description:Classical nonhomologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) repairs DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) throughout interphase but is thought to predominate in G1-phase when homologous recombination is unavailable. Complexes containing the Ku70/80 ("Ku") and XRCC4/Ligase IV (Lig4) core C-NHEJ factors are required, respectively, for sensing and joining DSBs. While such factors are exclusively required for joining RAG1/2-initiated DSBs during V(D)J recombination in G1-phase lymphocyte progenitors, cycling cells deficient for core C-NHEJ factors join chromosomal DSBs by alternative end-joining (A-EJ) pathways. Restriction of V(D)J recombination to C-NHEJ has been attributed to RAG-mediated exclusion of A-EJ; however, it remains unclear whether A-EJ is similarly excluded from more general DSBs in G1. Here, we report that Ku actively and robustly suppresses A-EJ of RAG1/2 and two classes of engineered endonuclease-mediated DSBs in G1-arrested progenitor B cell lines. Thus, while targeted DSBs remain as free broken ends in Lig4-deficient G1-arrested progenitor B cells, deletion of Ku70 in Lig4-deficient cells restores DSB rejoining and translocation to levels observed in Ku70-deficient counterparts. Correspondingly, while V(D)J recombination is abrogated in Ligase4-deficient lines, V(D)J-like joining occurs in Ku70-deficient and Ku70/Lig4 double-deficient lines through a translocation-based A-EJ mechanism. We conclude that in G1, Lig4-deficient progenitor B cells are functionally end-joining deficient due to a near complete Ku-dependent block in A-EJ. Thus, the differential impacts of Ku deficiency versus XRCC4/Ligase IV deficiency on V(D)J recombination, severity of neuronal apoptosis, and embryonic development, including Ku-deficiency rescuing Lig4-deficient embryonic lethality, may be explained by Ku-mediated inhibition of A-EJ in the G1 cell cycle phase.

CTCF cooperates with CtIP to drive homologous recombination repair of double-strand breaks

Project description:The pleiotropic CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) plays a role in homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, the precise mechanistic role of CTCF in HR remains largely unclear. Here, we show that CTCF engages in DNA end resection, which is the initial, crucial step in HR, through its interactions with MRE11 and CtIP. Depletion of CTCF profoundly impairs HR and attenuates CtIP recruitment at DSBs. CTCF physically interacts with MRE11 and CtIP and promotes CtIP recruitment to sites of DNA damage. Subsequently, CTCF facilitates DNA end resection to allow HR, in conjunction with MRE11-CtIP. Notably, the zinc finger domain of CTCF binds to both MRE11 and CtIP and enables proficient CtIP recruitment, DNA end resection, and HR. The N-terminus of CTCF is able to bind to only MRE11 and its C-terminus is incapable of binding to MRE11 and CtIP, thereby resulting in compromised CtIP recruitment, DSB resection, and HR. Overall, this suggests an important function of CTCF in DNA end resection through the recruitment of CtIP at DSBs. Collectively, our findings identify a critical role of CTCF at the first control point in selecting the HR repair pathway
