Project description:In contrast to our extensive knowledge on covalent SUMO target proteins, we are limited in our understanding of proteins that bind SUMO family members in a non-covalent manner. We have identified interactors of different SUMO isoforms: monomeric SUMO1, monomeric SUMO2 or linear trimeric SUMO2 chains, using a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. We identified 382 proteins that bind to different SUMO isoforms mainly in a preferential manner. Interestingly, XRCC4 was the only DNA repair protein in our screen with a preference for SUMO2 trimers over mono-SUMO2 as well as the only protein in our screen that belongs to the Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) DNA double-strand break repair pathway. A functional SIM in XRCC4 regulated its recruitment to local sites of DNA damage and its phosphorylation in S320 by DNA-PKcs. Combined, our data highlight the importance of non-covalent and covalent sumoylation for DNA double-strand break repair via the NHEJ pathway and provides a resource of SUMO isoform interactors.

Project description:Classical non-homologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) is a major mammalian DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathway. Core C-NHEJ factors, such as XRCC4, are required for joining DSB intermediates of the G1 phase-specific V(D)J recombination reaction in progenitor lymphocytes. Core factors also contribute to joining DSBs in cycling mature B-lineage cells, including DSBs generated during antibody class switch recombination (CSR) and DSBs generated by ionizing radiation (IR). The XLF C-NHEJ factor is dispensable for V(D)J recombination in normal cells, but, due to functional redundancy, is absolutely required for this process in cells deficient for the ATM DSB response factor. The recently identified PAralogue of XRCC4 and XLF (PAXX) factor has homology to these two proteins and variably contributes to IR-induced DSB repair in human and chicken cells. We now report that PAXX is dispensable for joining V(D)J recombination DSBs in G1-arrested mouse pro-B cell lines, dispensable for joining CSR-associated DSBs in a cycling mouse B cell line, and dispensable for normal IR-resistance in both G1-arrested and cycling pro-B lines. However, we find that combined deficiency for PAXX and XLF in G1-arrested pro-B lines abrogates DSB joining during V(D)J recombination and sensitizes the cells to IR exposure. Thus, PAXX provides core C-NHEJ factor-associated functions in the absence of XLF and vice versa in G1-arrested Pro-B cell lines. Finally, we also find that PAXX-deficiency has no impact on V(D)J recombination DSB joining in ATM-deficient pro-B lines. We discuss implications of these findings with respect to potential PAXX and XLF functions in C-NHEJ. Examination of CSR Switch mu-to-alpha junctions from mu bait DSBs using LAM-HTGTS and Illumina Miseq. Two clones of PAXX-/- and XLF-/- and 1 clone of Ligase4-/- were derived from the parental CH12F3 line; the second Ligase4-/- clone was acquired from Keifei Yu. Two clones of XLF-/-PAXX-/-CH12 cells were derived from one of the PAXX-/- clones. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each clone.

Project description:RIF1 acts downstream of 53BP1 to coordinate DNA double strand break repair pathway choice between non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Here we identified ASF1 as an endogenous RIF1-associated protein. We showed that ASF1 forms complex with RIF1 and regulates RIF1-dependent functions in DNA damage response.

Project description:DNA-PKcs is a crucial component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair machinery. To investigate its function in human cell lines, we conducted a study using K562 and HEK293T cell lines. We introduced twinned DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) or genome-wide DSBs into these cell lines via nucleofection and transfection, respectively. Subsequently, we employed high-throughput genome translocation sequencing (HTGTS) to capture the translocation events (i.e., ligation between "prey(s)" and "bait") and the rejoining events (i.e., direct repair within the "bait" locus) under different conditions, including with or without DNA-PKcs inhibition or deletion. We quantified the number of translocation events by normalizing them to the number of rejoining events, denoted as TL. Interestingly, DNA-PKcs inhibition led to an increase in TL, indicating a higher frequency of translocations. However, it is important to note that chromosomal translocations still predominantly relied on NHEJ despite DNA-PKcs inhibition. Furthermore, we observed that DNA-PKcs deletion resulted in an elevated utilization of microhomology in translocation formation. Nevertheless, NHEJ remained the primary mechanism driving translocation events.These findings provide valuable insights into the role of DNA-PKcs in the repair pathways involved in translocation events in human cell lines. The utilization of HTGTS allowed us to comprehensively analyze the effects of DNA-PKcs inhibition and deletion, shedding light on the interplay between NHEJ and alternative repair mechanisms in translocation formation.

Project description:In mammalian cells, classical non-homologous end joining (c-NHEJ) is critical for DNA double-strand break repair induced by ionizing radiation and during V(D)J recombination in developing B and T lymphocytes. Recently, PAXX was identified as a new c-NHEJ core component. We report here, that PAXX-deficient cells exhibit a cellular phenotype uncharacteristic of a deficiency in c-NHEJ core components. PAXX-deficient cells display normal sensitivity to radiomimetic drugs, are proficient in transient V(D)J recombination assays, and do not shift towards higher micro-homology usage in plasmid repair assays. Although PAXX-deficient cells lack c-NHEJ phenotypes, PAXX forms a ternary complex with Ku bound to DNA. Formation of this complex involves an interaction with Ku70 and requires a bare DNA extension for stability. Moreover, the relatively weak Ku-dependent stimulation of LIG4/XRCC4 activity by PAXX is unmasked by XLF ablation. Thus, PAXX plays an accessory role during c-NHEJ that is largely overlapping with XLF’s function.

Project description:Cell cycle is a major determinant of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway choice with homologous recombination (HR) that is most active in S phase cells and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) that dominates in G1 phase cells. A third less well-defined mechanism, 'alternative end-joining', has been shown to promote error-prone repair in NHEJ- or HR-deficient cells. Here, we have used a physiologic system of NHEJ-mediated genomic rearrangements induced by the site-specific RAG1/2 endonuclease in G1 cells to investigate the fate of unrepaired G1 DSBs upon entry into the cell cycle. We show that, in the absence of XRCC4, alternative end-joining rescues RAG-induced DSB repair and promotes chromosome translocations upon G1 cell cycle exit.

Project description:Purpose: The recombinant endonucleases introduce double-strand breaks (DSBs) in genomic DNA at targeted sites and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways repair the breaks introducing indels into the genome. To investigate whether there is another NHEJ pathway or if A-NHEJ and C-NHEJ are redundant, we examined NHEJ edits in HeLa cells. Methods: To test among these possibilities, we engineered a NHEJ reporter system using targeted TALEN induced double strand DNA breaks. C-NHEJ was blocked in XRCC4(-/-) cells and A-NHEJ was blocked pharmacologically with mirin. To assess how NHEJ was maintained, differentially expressed genes were determined by RNA-Seq. Results: When both C-NHEJ and A-NHEJ are blocked, edits were still observed. No changes in expression of DNA repair genes was observed. However, when both NHEJ pathways were blocked, genes from several pathways including DNA damage response, hypoxic response, chromatin packaging, p53 response and two genes that stimulate homologous recombination were differentially expressed. Conclusions: NHEJ is maintained when both NHEJ pathways are blocked through a transcriptional response that must compensate for the inhibited steps in both pathways.

Project description:DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are a major source of mutations. Both non-homologous-end-joining (NHEJ) and microhomology-mediated-end-joining (MMEJ) DSB repair pathways are error prone and produce deletions, which can lead to cancer. DSBs also lead to epigenetic changes, including demethylation, which is involved in carcinogenesis. Of specific interest is the MMEJ repair pathway, as it requires methylation restoration around the break, as a result of the resection and formation of single stranded (ssDNA) intermediates. While, methylation patterns after homologous recombination (HR) have been partially studied, the methylation status after MMEJ and NHEJ remains poorly reported, and can be relevant for cancer. To study methylation patterns around DSB after NHEJ and MMEJ repair, we used targeted bisulfite-sequencing (BS-seq) to quantify methylation of dozens of single cell clones after induction of DSB by CRISPR. Each single cell clone was classified according to the sequence signature to a specific repair mechanism: NHEJ or MMEJ. Comparison of single cell clones after DSB to control cells, without DSB, demonstrated correct restoration of the methylation levels. No difference in methylation patterns was noticed when comparing NHEJ to MMEJ. Methylation levels in gene body, highly methylated CpGs (n=61, 4000 base pairs around DSB) and in low methylation CpGs (n=19), remained stable after both MMEJ and NHEJ. Gene body methylation persisted even on the background of DNMT3A R882C mutation, the most prevalent preleukemic mutation, in which the de novo methylation machinery is compromised. An exception observed in a single CpG site (ASXL1 995) which demonstrated elevated methylation rate after DSB repair only in the presence of WT DNMT3A. In summary, DNA methylation restoration demonstrated high fidelity after DSB both in methylated and unmethylated gene body, even in cases where DNA resections and deletions occurred.
