Protein UFMylation regulates ribosomal DNA double-stranded break repair

ABSTRACT: Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) arrays are highly repetitive regions of the genome which encode essential genes required to produce ribosomes. DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) generated within rDNA genes elicit a unique cellular response involving robust transcriptional silencing and nucleolar reorganization into ‘cap’ structures at the nucleolar periphery. This process is coordinated by the nucleolar scaffolding protein TCOF1, which functions to recruit the DNA repair proteins NBS1 and TOPBP1 that activate the ATM and ATR kinases, resulting in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcriptional silencing and nucleolar segregation. However, the DNA damage and repair response at rDNA arrays remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the cellular response to rDNA DSBs using proteomics and genetic CRISPR-Cas9 screening. We show that the protein UFMylation pathway and the HUSH complex are important for cell viability and survival in response to rDNA DSBs, and that the E3 UFM1-ligase UFL1 and its heterodimer DDRGK1 are associated with TCOF1 at nucleolar caps. Loss of UFL1 leads to impaired ATM activation, reduced rRNA transcriptional silencing, and an overall reduction in nucleolar segregation. We identified ATM, UNC45A and SMC6 as UFMylated proteins, in which UFMylation may facilitate ATM activation and segregation of damaged rDNA to the nucleolar periphery. Altogether, our findings provide the first evidence for a role for UFMylation in rDNA DSB repair.

Treacle controls the nucleolar response to rDNA breaks via TOPBP1 recruitment and ATR activation

Project description:Induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats is associated with ATM-dependent repression of ribosomal RNA synthesis and large-scale reorganization of nucleolar architecture, but the signaling events that regulate these responses are largely elusive. Here we show that the nucleolar response to rDNA breaks is dependent on both ATM and ATR activity. We further demonstrate that ATM- and NBS1-dependent recruitment of TOPBP1 in the nucleoli is required for inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis and nucleolar segregation in response to rDNA breaks. Mechanistically, TOPBP1 recruitment is mediated by phosphorylation-dependent interactions between three of its BRCT domains and conserved phosphorylated Ser/Thr residues at the C-terminus of the nucleolar phosphoprotein Treacle. Our data thus reveal an important cooperation between TOPBP1 and Treacle in the signaling cascade that triggers transcriptional inhibition and nucleolar segregation in response to rDNA breaks.

Non redundant functions of ATM and DNAPKcs in response to clean DNA Double Strand Breaks.

Project description:DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) are harmful lesions that require rapid detection and repair in order to avoid toxic genomic rearrangements. DSBs elicit the so called DNA Damage Response (DDR), largely relying on ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and DNA Protein Kinase (DNAPK), two members of the PI3K-like kinase family, whose respective functions during the sequential steps of the DDR remains controversial. Using the DIvA cell line, expressing the AsiSI restriction enzyme, we have investigated the role of ATM and DNAPK in several aspects of the DDR upon induction of multiple clean DSBs throughout the human genome. High resolution mapping revealed that they are activated and spread in cis on a confined region surrounding all DSBs, independently of the pathway used for repair. However, a thorough analysis of repair kinetics, H2AX domain establishment and H2AX foci structure and dynamics revealed non overlapping functions for the two kinases once recruited at DSBs. Our results suggest that ATM is not solely acting on chromatin marks but also on chromatin organisation in order to ensure repair accuracy and survival.

LC-MS/MS analysis of ribosome UFMylation in vitro

Project description:UFMylation, is a Ubiquitin-like modification occurring on RPL26, a ribosomal subunit, upon ribosome stalling at the ER membrane. This modification is achieved by a pool of enzymes commonly referred to as E1-activating, E2-conjugating and E3-ligase enzymes. The UFM1 E3 ligase comprises of three proteins: UFL1, UFBP1 and CDK5RAP3, referred to as UFM1 Ribosome E3 Ligase (UREL) complex. While UFL1 and UFBP1 are sufficient for E3 ligase activity in vitro, CDK5RAP3 is indispensable for ribosome UFMylation in vivo. In this work, we characterize in vitro UFMylation reaction of purified 60S ribosomes in the presence and absence of CDK5RAP3 using LC-MS/MS. Specifically, we analyse sites of UFMylation, linkage type and quantify monoUFMylation and diUFMylation on RPL26. Interestingly, we find UFMylation to occur on a specific lysine residue, K134, in the presence of UFL1/UFBP1 alone and in complex with CDK5RAP3. In addition, we also provide quantitative information on relative abundances of RPL26 mono- and di-UFMylation under these conditions.

The novel role of hnRNP UL1 in rDNA transcription and rDNA repair in human cell nucleoli

Project description:hnRNP UL1 plays an important function in cell nuclei, where it is recruited to DNA damage sites and is involved in the repair of DNA double strand breaks. Furthermore, this protein is known as a transcriptional repressor of RNA polymerase II genes. In the present study, we have shown that hnRNP UL1 is also localized in the nucleoli. Revealing its function, we figured out that hnRNP UL1 stimulates rDNA gene transcription and may be involved in the transport of the proteins between the nucleolus and the nucleoplasm. Moreover, we observed that cells with hnRNP UL1 silencing are more sensitive to DNA damage, suggesting its role in rDNA repair pathways and nucleolar genome integrity. Indeed, we confirmed that hnRNP UL1 interacts with yH2A.X, RPA32, XRCC1, and Chk1 in cell nucleoli, suggesting its involvement in repairing of DNA damages.

Chd1 regulates repair of promoter-proximal DNA breaks to sustain hypertranscription in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Stem and progenitor cells undergo a global elevation of nascent transcription, or hypertranscription, during key developmental transitions involving rapid cell proliferation. The chromatin remodeler Chd1 binds to RNA Pol I and II genes and is required for hypertranscription in embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro and the early post-implantation epiblast in vivo. Biochemically, Chd1 has been shown to facilitate transcription at least in part by removing nucleosomal barriers to elongation, but its mechanism of action in stem cells remains poorly understood. Here we report a novel role for Chd1 in the repair of promoter-proximal endogenous double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in ES cells. An unbiased proteomics approach revealed that Chd1 interacts with several DNA repair factors including ATM, Parp1, Kap1 and Topoisomerase 2. We show that wild-type ES cells display high levels of phosphorylated H2AX and Kap1 at chromatin, notably at rDNA in the nucleolus, in a Chd1-dependent manner. Loss of Chd1 leads to an extensive accumulation of DSBs at Chd1 target Pol II genes and rDNA. Genes prone to DNA breaks in Chd1-null ES cells tend to be longer genes with GC-rich promoters, a more labile nucleosomal structure and roles in chromatin organization, transcription and signaling. These results reveal a vulnerability of hypertranscribing stem cells to endogenous DNA breaks, with important implications for developmental and cancer biology.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

DNA double-strand breaks and 3D chromatin conformation (Hi-C, 4C-seq, ChIP-seq)

Project description:DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) are highly detrimental since they can lead to mutations and chromosomes rearrangements (amplification, deletion, translocation and chromosome loss). Here, we set to assess the tridimensional genome organization around DSBs and its role in DSB repair foci formation. We performed Hi-C experiments before and after DSB induction and upon ctrl or SCC1 depletion, 4C-seq experiments before and after DSB induction and upon cohesin (SCC1) depletion or ATM inhibition. We also performed ChIP-seq of pATM(S1981), CTCF, P-SMC3(S1083), MDC1 and a calibrated ChIP-seq of SCC1 with or without damage. ChIP-chip of SMC3 (S1083) and SMC1 (S966) were used to show the recruitment of these marks on DNA repair foci. ChIP-chip of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 depletion and ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 or WAPL to show the role of the cohesin complex in gammaH2AX foci formation. ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon ATM or ATR inhibition to show that ATM is the major kinase that phosphorylates H2AX at clean breaks in human cells.

CDK9-55 guides the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) in choosing the DNA repair pathway by affecting the UFL1 ubiquitination.

Project description:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) contribute to genome instability, a key feature of cancer. DSBs are mainly repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). We investigated the role of an isoform of the multifunctional cyclin-dependent kinase 9, CDK9-55, in DNA repair, by generating CDK9-55-knockout HeLa clones (through CRISPR-36 Cas9), which showed potential HR dysfunction. A phosphoproteomic screening in these clones treated with camptothecin revealed that CDC23 (cell division cycle 23), a component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome), is a new substrate of CDK9-55, with S588 being its putative phosphorylation site. Mutated non-phosphorylatable CDC23(S588A) affected the repair pathway choice by impairing HR and favouring error prone NHEJ. Moreover, CDC23(S588A) promoted the ubiquitination of UFL1, a recently identified HR player. Overall, CDK9-55 could guide APC/C in choosing the correct DNA repair pathway, possibly by regulating UFL1 stability. This CDK9 role should be considered when designing CDK-inhibitor-based cancer therapies.

Activation of PARP-1 by snoRNAs Controls Ribosome Biogenesis and Cell Growth via the RNA Helicase DDX21 (RNA-Seq)

Project description:PARP inhibitors (PARPi) prevent cancer cell growth by inducing synthetic lethality with DNA repair defects (e.g., in BRCA1/2 mutant cells). We have identified an alternate pathway for PARPi-mediated growth control in BRCA1/2-intact breast cancer cells involving rDNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis. PARP-1 binds to snoRNAs, which stimulate PARP-1 catalytic activity in the nucleolus independent of DNA damage. Activated PARP-1 ADP-ribosylates DDX21, an RNA helicase that localizes to nucleoli and promotes rDNA transcription when ADP-ribosylated. Treatment with PARPi or mutation of the ADP-ribosylation sites reduce DDX21 nucleolar localization, rDNA transcription, ribosome biogenesis, protein translation, and cell growth. The salient features of this pathway are evident in xenografts in mice and human breast cancer patient samples. Elevated levels of PARP-1 and nucleolar DDX21 are associated with cancer-related outcomes. Our studies provide a mechanistic rationale for efficacy of PARPi in cancer cells lacking defects in DNA repair whose growth is inhibited by PARPi.
