Project description:The R-RAS2 GTPase has been considered quite similar to classical RAS proteins at the regulatory, signaling, and functional level. The interest in this GTPase has been reinvigorated upon the recent discovery that a long-tail hotspot RRAS2 mutation found in human tumors (Gln72 to Leu) can act as a potent oncogenic driver. Here, we report that the Q72L mutation and other gain-of-function mutations of RRAS2 play roles in tumor initiation and maintenance. Such roles are unlikely to be redundant to those normally executed by classical RAS proteins.

Project description:Recurrent somatic hotspot mutations of DICER1 appear to be clustered around each of four critical metal binding residues in the RNase IIIB domain of DICER1. This domain is responsible for cleavage of the 3’ end of the 5p-miRNA strand of a pre-mRNA hairpin. To investigate the effects of these cancer-associated “hotspot” mutations we engineered mouse Dicer1-deficient ES cells to express wild-type and an allelic series of the mutant human DICER1 variants. Global miRNA and mRNA profiles from cells carrying the metal binding site mutations were compared to each other and wild-type human DICER1. The miRNA and mRNA profiles generated through the expression of the hotspot mutations were virtually identical, and the DICER1 hotspot mutation carrying cells were distinct from both wild-type and Dicer1-deficient cells. Further, miRNA profiles showed mutant DICER1 results in a dramatic loss in processing of mature 5p-miRNA strands but were still able to create 3p-strand miRNAs. Messenger-RNA profile changes were consistent with the loss of 5p-strand miRNAs and showed enriched expression for predicted targets of the lost 5p derived miRNAs. We therefore conclude that cancer-associated somatic hotspot mutations of DICER1, affecting any one of four metal binding residues in the RNase IIIB domain, are functionally equivalent with respect to miRNA-processing and are hypomorphic alleles, yielding a global loss in processing of mature 5p-strand miRNA. We further propose that this resulting 3p-strand bias in mature miRNA expression likely underpins the oncogenic potential of these hotspot mutations. A total of 28 Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST arrays were done for mRNA expression profiling of various DICER1 mutants (n=14), wildtype controls (n=6), vector only (n=3) and parental cell lines (n=5).

Project description:DICER1 plays a critical role in microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. Recurrent somatic “hotspot” mutations at four mental binding sites within the RNase IIIb domain of DICER1, were identified in ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors and have since been described in other pediatric tumors. In this study, we identified and characterized DICER1 hotspot mutations in endometrial cancers derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and our local tumor bank. DICER1 hotspot mutations are found in ~2% of endometrial tumors. Using Illumina and Sanger targeted resequencing we observed biallelic DICER1 mutations in more than 50% of cases with hotspot mutations and identified an additional recurrent mutation G1809R in 2 cases. Through small RNA deep sequencing and real-time PCR, we demonstrated mutations that add a positively charged side chain to residue 1809 have similar detrimental effects on 5p miRNA production as mutations at metal binding sites. In one case G1809R was compound heterozygous with a germline S839F mutation, which contributes to loss of DICER1 expression by promoting protein degradation. As expected, 5p miRNAs are globally reduced in tumors and cell lines with hotspot mutations. Pathway analysis of gene expression profiles indicated that genes derepressed due to loss of 5p miRNAs are strongly associated with cell cycle related pathways. Using a Dicer null cell line model, we demonstrated that DICER1 hotspot mutants abolished the inhibitory effects of wildtype DICER1 on cell proliferation upon re-expression. Furthermore, targets of let-7 family miRNAs are enriched among the upregulated genes, suggesting loss of let-7 may be impacting downstream pathways.

Project description:DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A- and DNMT3B-mediated de novo DNA methylation critically regulates epigenomic and transcriptomic patterning during development. The hotspot DNMT3A mutations at the site of Arg822 (R882) promote macro-oligomer formation, leading to aberrant DNA methylation that in turn contributes to pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the molecular basis underlying the hotspot mutation-induced functional mis-regulation of DNMT3A remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of DNMT3A methyltransferase (MTase) domain, revealing a molecular basis for its DNMT3B-distinct oligomerization behavior. Introducing DNMT3B-converting mutations to DNMT3A R882 mutants also led to structure determination of R882H- and R882C-mutated DNMT3A, which show enhanced intermolecular contacts than wild-type DNMT3A. Consistently, our in vitro and genomic DNA methylation analyses reveal that the DNMT3B-converting mutations eliminate the gain-of-function effect of the DNMT3A R882 mutations in cells. Together, this study provides mechanistic insights into DNMT3A R882 mutation-triggered aberrant oligomerization and DNA hypomethylation in AML, with important implications in cancer therapy.

Project description:Hotspot mutations in the spliceosomal component gene SF3B1 underpin a number of cancers and have a neomorphic function leading to global disruption of canonical splicing and aberrant splicing of hundreds of transcripts. However, the functional consequences of this misplicing and resultant genetic vulnerabilities imposed by these events are poorly understood. Through a synthetic-lethal approach we identify that SF3B1 mutant cells are selectively sensitive to PARP inhibitors. This vulnerability is preserved across multiple cell line and patent derived tumour models, independent of SF3B1 hotspot mutation and is manifested both in vitro and in vivo. These data provide the pre-clinical and mechanistic rationale for assessing SF3B1 mutations as a biomarker of single-agent PARP inhibitor response in a new patient population and may extend the clinical utility of these agents beyond BRCA mutated cancers.
