Bypass of blocking lesions by RNAPII reveals a novel stress induced by DNA damage [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Platinum-based compounds and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation produce bulky DNA lesions that stall RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), activating transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), RNAPII degradation, and global transcriptional shutdown. However, the consequences of RNAPII bypassing such lesions remain unclear. We identified the acetyltransferase p300 as a key regulator of TC-NER-dependent RNAPII removal from damaged chromatin via a USP7-dependent mechanism. Loss of p300 permits RNAPII to bypass transcription-blocking lesions, sustaining transcription and full-length mRNA production despite DNA damage. This leads to continued translation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), compromising cell viability. Notably, this stress response resensitizes tumors resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. Our findings reveal a vulnerability in tumor cells that evade transcriptional shutdown and define a synthetic lethal interaction between p300 inhibition and platinum-induced DNA damage, offering a targeted strategy to overcome chemoresistance.

Bypass of blocking lesions by RNAPII reveals a novel stress induced by DNA damage [RNA-seq]

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation or platinum-based drugs generate bulky DNA lesions that impede transcription elongation by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII). This unscheduled transcription elongation block triggers a stress response, which includes initiating transcription-coupled DNA repair, removing and degrading the halted RNAPII, and a global transcriptional shutdown. However, the molecular and cellular consequences of RNAPII successfully bypassing these blocking lesions have remained unknown. Here, we have identified the acetyltransferase p300 as a regulator of the stress response when RNAPII stalls at blocking lesions. Indeed, p300 interacts with the halted RNAPII and controls its removal and degradation in a USP7-dependent mechanism. Notably, in p300-deficient cells, transcription persists despite DNA damage, as RNAPII bypasses blocking lesions, leading to mutant mRNAs and splicing variants accumulation. This persistent transcription activity is particularly detrimental post DNA damage as it results in toxic translation activity and higher DNA damage levels. These observations provide the first evidence that bypass of blocking lesions by RNAPII inhibits DNA repair as well as the cellular stress response. Our findings offer essential insights into the mechanisms of resistance to DNA damage and suggest strategies to enhance the efficacy of platinum-based drugs, such as cisplatin, in anti-tumor therapies.

TRiC controls transcription resumption after UV damage by regulating Cockayne Syndrome protein A

Project description:Transcription-blocking DNA lesions are removed by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) to preserve cell viability. TC-NER is triggered by the stalling of RNA polymerase II at DNA lesions, leading to the recruitment of TC-NER-specific factors such as the CSA-DDB1-CUL4A-RBX1 cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex (CRLCSA). Despite its vital role in TC-NER, little is known about the regulation of the CRLCSA complex during TC-NER. Using conventional and cross-linking immunoprecipitations coupled to mass spectrometry, we uncover a stable interaction between CSA and the TRiC chaperonin. TRiC’s binding to CSA ensures its stability and DDB1-dependent assembly into the CRLCSA complex. Consequently, loss of TRiC leads to mislocalization and depletion of CSA, as well as impaired transcription recovery following UV damage, suggesting defects in TC-NER. Furthermore, Cockayne syndrome (CS)-causing mutations in CSA lead to increased TRiC binding and a failure to compose the CRLCSA complex. Thus, we uncover CSA as a novel TRiC substrate and reveal a role for TRiC in regulating CSA-dependent TC-NER and the development of CS.

DDA1, a novel factor in transcription-coupled repair, modulates CRL4CSA dynamics at DNA damage-stalled RNA polymerase II

Project description:Transcription–blocking lesions are specifically targeted by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), which removes a broad spectrum of DNA lesions to preserve transcriptional output and thereby cellular homeostasis to counteract aging. TC-NER is initiated by the physical stalling of RNA polymerase II by a DNA damage, which triggers the assembly of TC-NER-specific proteins, including CSA, a WD40 domain containing protein, that forms together with DDB1, CUL4A/B and RBX1, a cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex (CRL4CSA). Although ubiquitination of several TC-NER proteins by CSA has been reported, it is still unknown how this complex functions in TC-NER progression. To unravel the molecular mechanism underlying TC-NER, we applied a single-step protein-complex isolation coupled to mass spectrometry analysis and identified DDA1 as a CSA interacting protein. Cryo-EM analysis showed that DDA1 is an integral component of the CRL4CSA complex. Functional analysis revealed that DDA1 coordinates the step-wise ubiquitination during TC-NER and is required for efficient progression of this process by controlling the dynamic turnover of CRL4CSA complex.

DDA1, a novel factor in transcription-coupled repair, modulates CRL4CSA dynamics at DNA damage-stalled RNA polymerase II

Project description:Transcription-blocking DNA lesions are specifically targeted by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), which removes a broad spectrum of DNA lesions to preserve transcriptional output and thereby cellular homeostasis to counteract aging. TC-NER is initiated by the stalling of RNA polymerase II at DNA lesions, which triggers the assembly of the TC-NER-specific proteins CSA, CSB and UVSSA. CSA, a WD40-repeat containing protein, is the substrate receptor subunit of a cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex composed of DDB1, CUL4A/B and RBX1 (CRL4CSA). Although ubiquitination of several TC-NER proteins by CRL4CSA has been reported, it is still unknown how this complex is regulated. To unravel the dynamic molecular interactions and the regulation of this complex, we applied a single-step protein-complex isolation coupled to mass spectrometry analysis and identified DDA1 as a CSA interacting protein. Cryo-EM analysis showed that DDA1 is an integral component of the CRL4CSA complex. Functional analysis revealed that DDA1 coordinates ubiquitination dynamics during TC-NER and is required for efficient turnover and progression of this process.

Trabectedin derails transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair to induce DNA breaks in highly transcribed genes

Project description:Most genotoxic anticancer agents fail in tumors with intact DNA repair. Therefore, trabectedin, a unique agent more toxic to cells with active DNA repair, specifically transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), provides new therapeutic opportunities. To unlock the potential of trabectedin and inform its application in precision oncology, a full mechanistic understanding of the drug’s TC-NER-dependent toxicity is needed. Here, we determined that abortive TC-NER of trabectedin-DNA adducts forms persistent single-strand breaks (SSBs) by blocking the second of the two sequential NER incisions by XPG. We mapped the 3’-hydroxyl groups of SSBs originating from the first NER incision at trabectedin lesions, recording TC-NER on a genome-wide scale. We showed that trabectedin-induced SSBs primarily occur in transcribed strands of active genes and peak near transcription start sites. Frequent SSBs were also found outside gene bodies, revealing TC-NER connection to divergent transcription from promoters. This work advances trabectedin as a tool compound for precision oncology and for studying TC-NER and transcription.

CPD-seq mapping of transcription-coupled DNA repair in yeast

Project description:Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) is an important DNA repair mechanism that responds to RNA polymerase (RNAP) stalling and removes DNA lesions from transcribed genes. Activation of TC-NER requires specific factors, such as human Cockayne syndrome group B (CSB) protein or its yeast homolog Rad26. Mutations in CSB are associated with the severe neurological disorder Cockayne syndrome. However, the genome-wide role of CSB/Rad26 in TC-NER, particularly in the context of chromatin organization, is not fully understood. Here we used single-nucleotide resolution UV damage mapping data to investigate the genome-wide function of Rad26 in TC-NER. Our data shows that Rad26 is critical for TC-NER in transcribed regions downstream of the first (+1) nucleosome; however, Rad26 is largely dispensable for TC-NER in the +1 nucleosome. We further show that the Rad26-independent TC-NER in the +1 nucleosome is correlated with high occupancy of the transcription initiation/repair factor TFIIH. Downstream of the +1 nucleosome, the combination of low TFIIH occupancy and high occupancy of the transcription elongation factor Spt4/Spt5 suppresses TC-NER when Rad26 is dysfunctional. Deletion of SPT4 significantly restores TC-NER in the downstream nucleosomes in a rad26∆ mutant. Collectively, these data indicate that the requirement for Rad26 in TC-NER is modulated by the distribution of TFIIH and Spt4/Spt5, and Rad26 mainly functions in the downstream nucleosomes to remove TC-NER suppression by Spt4/Spt5.

STK19 drives transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair by stimulating Pol II ubiquitylation and TFIIH recruitment

Project description:DNA damage forms a major obstacle for gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) efficiently eliminates transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs), thereby safeguarding accurate transcription, preserving correct cellular function and counteracting aging. TC-NER initiation involves the recognition of lesion-stalled Pol II by CSB, which recruits the CRL4CSA E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and UVSSA. TBL-induced Pol II ubiquitylation at lysine K1268 by CRL4CSA serves as a critical TC-NER checkpoint, governing Pol II stability and initiating TBL excision by TFIIH recruitment. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms of the CRL4CSA E3 ligase activity and TFIIH recruitment remains elusive. Here, we reveal Serine/Threonine Kinase 19 (STK19) as a novel TC-NER factor. Cryo-EM studies revealed that STK19 is an integral part of the Pol II-TC‐NER complex, bridging CSA with UVSSA, RPB1 and downstream DNA. Live-cell imaging and interaction proteomics shows that STK19 stimulates TC-NER complex stability and proper CRL4CSA complex assembly, resulting in Pol II (K1268) ubiquitylation and subsequent UVSSA and TFIIH recruitment. These findings underscore the crucial role of STK19 as a core component of the TC-NER machinery and its key involvement to the cellular responses to genomic injuries that interfere with transcription.

Elf1 promotes TC-NER in yeast by using its C-terminal domain to bind TFIIH

Project description:Transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) repairs DNA lesions that stall RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Here, we show that the C-terminal domain (CTD) of elongation factor-1 (Elf1) plays a critical role in TC-NER in yeast. Analysis of genome-wide repair of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) using CPD-seq indicates that the Elf1 CTD is required for efficient Rad26-dependent and Rad26-independent TC-NER across the yeast genome. The Elf1-CTD is also important for TC-NER in rad16∆ cells deficient in GG-NER. Finally, we show that a mutant in the Elf1-CTD (elf1-Y99A) that disrupts binding to a subunit of TFIIH affects Rad26-independent repair in a rad26∆ mutant background.

lncRNA-ZFAS1, an emerging gate-keeper in DNA damage-dependent transcriptional regulation [H3.3 ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are generated in response to external stimuli, but the scope and functions of such activity are not known. Here, we provide insight into how the transcription of lncRNAs are connected to DNA damage response by identifying a lncRNA ZFAS1, which is required for cell cycle arrest, transcription regulation and DNA repair. Mechanistically, ZFAS1 facilitates the changing hyperphosphorylated forms of the large subunit of RNAPII around transcription initiation sites by directly targeting the regulated genes. We revealed extensive transcription shutdown and concomitant stimulated engagement of RNAPII-Ser2P are crucial for repair and cell survival upon genotoxic stress. Finally, ZFAS1 knockout in mice dampened transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) and led to kidney dysplasia. Our study extends the understanding of lncRNAs in DNA damage repair (DDR) and implies a protective role of lncRNA against DDR-deficient developmental disorders.
