RPA and Rad27 limit templated and inverted insertions at DNA breaks

ABSTRACT: Formation of templated insertions at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is very common in cancer cells. The mechanisms and enzymes regulating these events are largely unknown. Here, we investigated templated insertions in yeast at DSBs using amplicon sequencing across a repaired locus. We document very short (most ~5-34 bp), templated inverted duplications at DSBs. They are generated through a foldback mechanism that utilizes microhomologies adjacent to the DSB. Enzymatic requirements suggest a hybrid mechanism wherein one end requires Polδ-mediated synthesis while the other end is captured by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). This process is exacerbated in mutants with low levels or mutated RPA (rtt105Δ; rfa1-t33) or extensive resection mutant (sgs1Δ exo1Δ). Templated insertions from various distant genomic locations also increase in these mutants as well as in rad27Δ and originate from fragile regions of the genome. Among complex events, common events are insertions of two sequences, originating from the same locus and with inverted orientation. Evidence suggests that inversions are also formed by microhomology-mediated template switching. Taken together, our results suggest that limited RPA, typical in many cancers, may contribute to the high level of microhomology-mediated templated insertions.

Massively parallel profiling and predictive modeling of the outcomes of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated double-strand break repair

Project description:Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) plays an important role in double-strand break (DSB) repair of DNA. Recent studies have shown that the error patterns of NHEJ are strongly biased by sequence context, but these studies were based on relatively few templates. To investigate this more thoroughly, we systematically profiled ~1.16 million independent mutational events resulting from CRISPR/Cas9-mediated cleavage and NHEJ-mediated DSB repair of 6,872 synthetic target sequences, introduced into a human cell line via lentiviral infection. We find that: 1) insertions are dominated by 1 bp events templated by sequence immediately upstream of the cleavage site, 2) deletions are predominantly associated with microhomology, and 3) targets exhibit variable but reproducible diversity with respect to the number and relative frequency of the mutational outcomes to which they give rise. From these data, we trained a model (Lindel) that uses local sequence context to predict the distribution of mutational outcomes. Exploiting the bias of NHEJ outcomes towards microhomology mediated events, we demonstrate the programming of deletion patterns by introducing microhomology to specific locations in the vicinity of the DSB site. We anticipate that our results will inform investigations of DSB repair mechanisms as well as the design of CRISPR/Cas9 experiments for diverse applications including genome-wide screens, gene therapy, lineage tracing and molecular recording.

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.

RPA accumulation during class switch recombination represents 5'-3' DNA end resection during the S-G2/M phase of the cell cycle

Project description:AID promotes chromosomal translocations by inducing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and oncogenes in G1. RPA is a ssDNA-binding protein that associates with resected DSBs in the S phase and facilitates the assembly of factors involved in homologous repair (HR) such as Rad51. Notably, RPA deposition also marks sites of AID-mediated damage, but its role in Ig gene recombination remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that RPA associates asymmetrically with resected ssDNA in response to lesions created by AID, RAG, or other nucleases. Small amounts of RPA are deposited at AID targets in G1 in an ATM-dependent manner. In contrast, recruitment in S-G2/M is extensive, ATM-independent, and associated with Rad51 accumulation. RPA in S-G2/M increases in NHEJ-deficient lymphocytes, where there is more extensive DNA-end resection. Thus, most RPA recruitment during CSR represents salvage of un-repaired breaks by homology-based pathways during the S-G2/M phases of the cell cycle. Chip-Seq of RPA from mouse activated B cells (n = 40), mouse thymocytes (n = 6), and MEFs (n = 1). Different genotypes and/or inhibitors were used.

Mapping of microhomologies at CRISPR/Cas9 deletions

Project description:The CRISPR system is widely used in genome editing for biomedical research. Here, using either dual paired Cas9D10A nickases or paired Cas9 nuclease we characterise unintended larger deletions at on-target sites that frequently evade common genotyping practices. We found that unintended larger deletions are prevalent at multiple distinct loci on different chromosomes, in cultured cells and mouse embryos alike. We observed a high frequency of microhomologies at larger deletion breakpoint junctions, suggesting the involvement of microhomology-mediated end joining in their generation. In populations of edited cells, the distribution of larger deletion sizes is dependent on proximity to sgRNAs and cannot be predicted by microhomology sequences alone.

Mechanisms of insertions at a double strand break

Project description:Insertions and deletions (indels) are common sources of structural variation, and insertions originating from spontaneous DNA lesions are frequent in cancer. We developed a highly sensitive assay (Indel-Seq) to monitor rearrangements in human cells at the TRIM37 acceptor locus that reports indels stemming from experimentallyinduced and spontaneous genome instability. Templated insertions, which derive from sequences genome-wide, require contact between donor and acceptor loci, homologous recombination, and are stimulated by DNA end-processing. Insertions are facilitated by transcription and involve a DNA/RNA hybrid intermediate. Indel-Seq reveals that insertions are generated via multiple pathways. The broken acceptor site anneals with a resected DNA break or invades the displaced strand of a transcription bubble or R-loop followed by DNA synthesis, displacement and then ligation by nonhomologous end-joining. Our studies identify transcription-coupled insertions as a critical source of spontaneous genome instability that are distinct from cut-and-paste events

Germline unbalanced translocations arise from diverse mutational mechanisms including chromothripsis

Project description:Unbalanced translocations are a relatively common type of copy number variation and are a major contributor to neurodevelopmental disorders. We analyzed the breakpoints of 57 unique unbalanced translocations to investigate the mechanisms of how they form. 51 are simple unbalanced translocations between two different chromosome ends, and six rearrangements have more than three breakpoints involving two to five chromosomes. Sequencing 37 breakpoint junctions revealed that simple translocations have between zero and four basepairs (bp) of microhomology (n=26), short inserted sequences (n=8), or paralogous repeats (n=3) at the junctions, indicating that translocations do not arise primarily from non-allelic homologous recombination, but instead form most often via non-homologous end joining or microhomology-mediated break-induced replication. Three simple translocations fuse genes that are predicted to produce in-frame transcripts of SIRPG-WWOX, SMOC2-PROX1, and PIEZO2-MTA1, which may lead to gain of function. Three complex translocations have inversions, insertions, and multiple breakpoint junctions between only two chromosomes. Whole- genome sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of two de novo translocations revealed at least 18 and 33 breakpoints involving five different chromosomes. Breakpoint sequencing of one inherited translocation involving four chromosomes uncovered multiple breakpoints with inversions and insertions. All of these breakpoint junctions had zero to four bp of microhomology consistent with germline chromothripsis, and both de novo events occurred on paternal alleles. Breakpoint sequencing of our large collection of chromosome rearrangements offers a comprehensive analysis of the molecular mechanisms behind germline translocation formation.

The impact of DNA-PKcs in V(D)J recombination of mouse IgK antigen locus

Project description:DNA-PKcs is a critical component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, playing a role in the re-ligation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) generated by RAG1/2 during V(D)J recombination in antigen loci. When NHEJ is deficient, DSBs can be repaired through alternative end joining (A-EJ). In this study, we investigated the consequences of DNA-PKcs deletion on V-J recombination at the IgK antigen locus. Our results reveal that DNA-PKcs deletion leads to inefficient V-J recombination, exhibiting phenotypes such as reduced efficiency, increased end resection, and decreased micro-insertions in the repair pattern. These findings are consistent with previously reported functions of Ku70, another key player in NHEJ. However, unlike Ku70, additional deletion of DNA-PKcs does not restore the efficiency of repair in the absence of Lig4. Instead, it reduces both end resection and microhomology-mediated repair. These observations highlight the context-dependent role of DNA-PKcs in end processing. The presence or absence of Lig4 appears to influence the function of DNA-PKcs, further emphasizing the intricate interplay between repair factors in the DNA damage response. Overall, our findings provide insights into the distinct functions of DNA-PKcs and Ku70 in V(D)J recombination and underscore the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying repair efficiency in different genetic backgrounds.

Dna2 removes toxic RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis

Project description:During the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), de novo synthesized DNA strand can displace the parental strand to generate single-strand DNA (ssDNA) flaps. Many programmed DSBs and thus many ssDNA flaps occur during meiosis. However, how these flaps are removed remains enigmatic. Here, we show that meiosis-specific depletion of Dna2 (dna2-md) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes an abundant accumulation of RPA-ssDNA flaps and an expansion of RPA from DSBs to broader regions. As a result, DSB repair is defective and spores are inviable, although the levels of crossovers/non-crossovers seem to be unaffected. Furthermore, inducing Dna2 expression at pachytene is highly effective in removing accumulated RPA and restoring spore viability. Moreover, the depletion of Pif1, an activator of polymerase δ required for meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis, and Pif1 inhibitor Mlh2 decreased and increased RPA accumulation in dna2-md, respectively. Together, our findings show that meiotic DSB repair requires Dna2 to remove RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis. Additionally, we showed that Dna2 also regulates DSB-independent RPA distribution.
