Transcription and DNA Replication Shapes DNA Break Dynamics in Long Neuronal Genes

ABSTRACT: Transcription and replication conflict (TRC) are one of the main driving forces for genome instability. Yet, TRC rarely been discussed without the context of DNA:RNA entanglement, rending the role of transcription in other TRC unclear . In neural stem and progenitor cells, genes encode protein regulating neuron adhesion are hotspots for recurrent DNA break clusters (RDC). While RDC-containing genes are all actively transcribed, most RDC lack DNA:RNA entanglement. We demonstrated that, through controlled gain and loss of function genetic approaches, transcription activity is essential while not sufficient to induce RDC formation. In combination of a deep neural network and single-nucleotide resolution DNA break mapping approaches, we found RDC break densities mirror the replication fork dynamics. We demonstrated that, for the first time that, head-on TRC results in higher DNA break density than its co-direction counterparts. In summary, our results revealed that transcription has a higher-level regulatory role that has to be coordinated with DNA replication.

Linear interaction between transcription and replication shapes DNA break dynamics

Project description:Recurrent DNA break clusters (RDCs) are replication and transcription collision hotspots. Through high-resolution replication sequencing and a capture-ligation assay in mouse neural progenitor cells experiencing replication stress, we unraveled the replication fork architecture dictating RDC location and orientation. Most RDC occurs at the replication forks traversing timing transition regions (TTRs), where sparse replication origins connect unidirectional forks. Leftward-moving forks generate telomere-connected DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) while rightward-moving forks lead to centromere-connected DSBs. Strand-specific mapping for DNA-bounded RNA revealed transient DNA:RNA hybrids present at a higher density in RDC than in other actively transcribed long genes. In addition, mapping nascent RNA and RNA polymerase activity revealed that head-to-head interactions between replication and transcription machinery slow down DNA replication, resulting in 60% DSB contribution to the head-on as compared to 60% for co-directional . Our findings revealed TTR as a novel fragile class and highlighted how the linear interaction between transcription and replication impacts genome stability.

Induction of Recurrent Break Cluster Genes in Neural Progenitor Cells Differentiated from Embryonic Stem Cells In Culture [GRO-seq]

Project description:Our laboratory identified robust recurrent DNA double-strand break (DSB) cluster (“RDC”) genes in mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) by applying the high-throughput, genome-wide, translocation sequencing (HTGTS) method. Genomic alterations of most of the identified RDC-genes have been associated with psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia and several are altered in brain cancer. The most robust mouse RDCs are all in genes that tend to be very long, actively transcribed and were enhanced after mild inhibition of replication stress. The common transcription and replication characteristics we observe in RDC-genes suggest that frequent RDC DSBs might be generated by collision between transcription and replication processes. However, the underlying mechanism of RDC formation is still unknown. To elucidate mechanisms that generate and resolve DSBs in these cells, we established an in vitro system of induced neural progenitor cells derived from embryonic stem cells. HTGTS bait-DSBs introduced by CRISPR/Cas9 on three mouse chromosomes identified only 5 RDC-genes in embryonic stem cells and 27 RDC-genes in the neural progenitor cells differentiated from them. All RDC-genes identified in induced neural progenitor cells belonged to the group of genes identified in primary neural and progenitor cells. These results indicate that our in vitro differentiation system is both effective and robust in terms of recapitulating our previous findings and facilitating mechanistic studies.

OKseqHMM: a genome-wide replication fork directionality analysis toolkit

Project description:During each cell division, tens of thousands of DNA replication origins are coordinately activated to ensure the complete duplication of the entire human genome. However, the progression of replication forks can be challenged by numerous factors. One such factor is transcription-replication conflict (TRC), which can either be co-directional or head-on and the latter has been revealed as more dangerous for genome integrity. In order to study the direction of replication fork movement and TRC, we developed a bioinformatics tool, called OKseqHMM, to direct measure the replication fork directionality (RFD) as well as replication initiation and termination, along human genome obtained by sequencing of Okazaki fragments (OK-Seq) and related techniques. We have gathered and analyzed OK-seq data from a large number of organisms including yeast, mouse and human, to generate high-quality RFD profiles and determine initiation zones and termination zones by using Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm (all tools and data are available at https://github.com/CL-CHEN-Lab/OK-Seq). In addition, we have extended our analysis to data obtained by related techniques, such as eSPAN and TrAEL-seq, which also contain RFD information. Our works, therefore, provide an important tool and resource for the community to further study TRC and genome instability, in a wide range of cell line models and growth conditions, which is of prime importance for human health.

Three classes of recurrent DNA break clusters in brain progenitors identified by 3D proximity-based break joining assay

Project description:We recently discovered 27 recurrent DNA double-strand break (DSB) clusters (RDCs) in mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). Most RDCs occurred across long, late-replicating RDC genes and were found only after mild inhibition of DNA replication. RDC genes share intriguing characteristics, including encoding surface proteins that organize brain architecture and neuronal junctions, and are genetically implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders and/or cancers. RDC identification relies on high-throughput genome-wide translocation sequencing (HTGTS), which maps recurrent DSBs based on their translocation to "bait" DSBs in specific chromosomal locations. Cellular heterogeneity in 3D genome organization allowed unequivocal identification of RDCs on 14 different chromosomes using HTGTS baits on three mouse chromosomes. Additional candidate RDCs were also implicated, however, suggesting that some RDCs were missed. To more completely identify RDCs, we exploited our finding that joining of two DSBs occurs more frequently if they lie on the same cis chromosome. Thus, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce specific DSBs into each mouse chromosome in NSPCs that were used as bait for HTGTS libraries. This analysis confirmed all 27 previously identified RDCs and identified many new ones. NSPC RDCs fall into three groups based on length, organization, transcription level, and replication timing of genes within them. While mostly less robust, the largest group of newly defined RDCs share many intriguing characteristics with the original 27. Our findings also revealed RDCs in NSPCs in the absence of induced replication stress, and support the idea that the latter treatment augments an already active endogenous process.

Long Neural Genes Harbor Recurrent DNA Break Clusters in Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells

Project description:Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by non-homologous end-joining is critical for neural development, and brain cells frequently contain somatic genomic variations that might involve DSB intermediates. We now use an unbiased, high-throughput approach to identify genomic regions harboring recurrent DSBs in primary neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). We identify 27 recurrent DSB clusters (RDCs) and, remarkably, all occur within gene bodies. Most of these NSPC RDCs were detected only upon mild, aphidicolin-induced replication stress, providing a nucleotide-resolution view of replication-associated genomic fragile sites. The vast majority of RDCs occur in long, transcribed, and late-replicating genes. Moreover, almost 90% of identified RDC-containing genes are involved in synapse function and/or neural cell adhesion, with a substantial fraction also implicated in tumor suppression and/or mental disorders. Our characterization of NSPC RDCs reveals a basis of gene fragility and suggests potential impacts of DNA breaks on neurodevelopment and neural functions. We performed high-throughput, genome-wide, translocation sequencing (HTGTS) and GRO-seq in primary mouse neural stem/progenitor cells of the indicated genotypes.

AOH1996, a small molecule ligand of PCNA, modulates PCNA interaction with RPB1

Project description:Targeting transcription replication conflicts, a major source of endogenous DNA double stranded breaks and genomic instability, could have important therapeutic implications. When transcription and DNA replication machineries encounter each other on chromosomes, one way to resolve the conflict is temporarily dislodging RNA polymerase II from the conflict sites to enable the replication fork to proceed. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an essential component of replisomes, plays a critical role in this process. We discovered a small molecule ligand (AOH1996) of PCNA, which targets a binding pocket adjacent to the outer surface region of PCNA known to interact with PIP box and APIM motif proteins. Orally administrable, AOH1996 suppresses tumor growth but causes no discernable side effects. In addition, we found that AOH1996 treatment can stabilize interaction between PCNA and RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. To determine whether the effect of AOH1996 is mediated through affecting PCNA interaction with RPB1, we mutated Y418 within the APIM motif of RPB1 to an alanine in the SK-N-AS cell line by CRISPR and compared changes in protein expression profiles caused by AOH1996 in the parent and mutant SK-N-AS cells.

ATAD5 regulates R-loop by maintaining RNA helicase level and unloading PCNA at the replication fork

Project description:R-loops are formed when replicative forks collide with the transcriptional machinery and can cause genomic instability. However, it is unclear how R-loops are regulated at transcription-replication conflicts (TRC) sites and how replisome proteins are regulated to prevent R-loop formation or mediate R-loop tolerance. Here, we report that ATAD5, a PCNA unloader, plays dual functions to reduce R-loops both under normal and replication stress conditions. ATAD5 interacts with RNA helicases such as DDX1, DDX5, DDX21 and DHX9 and increases the abundance of these helicases at replication forks to facilitate R-loop resolution. Depletion of ATAD5 or RNA helicases consistently increases R-loops during the S phase and reduces the replication rate, both of which are enhanced by replication stress. In addition to R-loop resolution, ATAD5 prevents the generation of new R-loops behind the replication forks by unloading PCNA which, otherwise, accumulates and persists on DNA, causing a collision with the transcription machinery. Depletion of ATAD5 reduces transcription rates due to PCNA accumulation. Consistent with the role of ATAD5 and RNA helicases in maintaining genomic integrity by regulating R-loops, the corresponding genes were mutated or downregulated in several human tumors.
