Genome-wide mapping of formaldehyde-induced DNA-protein crosslinks reveals unique patterns of formation and transcription-coupled removal in mammalian cells

ABSTRACT: DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) form following exposure to various alkylating agents including environmental carcinogens, cancer chemotherapeutics, and reactive aldehydes. If not repaired, DPCs can interfere with key biological processes such as transcription and replication and activate programmed cell death. A growing body of evidence implicates nucleotide excision repair (NER), homologous recombination, and other mechanisms in the removal of DPCs. However, the effects of genomic context on DPC formation and removal have not been comprehensively addressed. Using a combination of next generation sequencing and DPC enrichment via protein precipitation, we show that DPCs induced following exposure to formaldehyde are non-randomly distributed across the human genome, based on chromatin state. The data further show that the efficiency of DPC removal correlates with transcription at loci transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Data presented herein indicate that efficient removal of chromosomal DPCs requires both the Cockayne syndrome group B gene as well as ‘downstream’ TC-NER factor xeroderma pigmentosum group A gene. In contrast, loci transcribed by RNA Polymerase I showed no evidence of transcription-coupled DPC removal. Taken together, our results indicate that complex interactions between chromatin organization, transcriptional activity, and numerous DNA repair pathways dictate genomic patterns of DPC formation and removal.

Transcription-coupled DNA-Protein Crosslink repair by CSB and CRL4(CSA)-mediated degradation

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), arise from enzymatic intermediates, endogenous metabolism or exogenous chemicals like chemotherapeutics. DPCs are highly cytotoxic as they will impede DNA transacting processes such as replication, which is counteracted by proteolysis-mediated DPC removal by the protease SPRTN or the proteasome. However, how DPCs affect transcription and how transcription-blocking DPCs are repaired remains largely unknown. Here, we show that DPCs severely inhibit RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-mediated transcription, resulting in the recruitment of the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) factors CSA and CSB. Interestingly, CSA and CSB are indispensable for transcription-coupled DPC (TC-DPC) repair, while the downstream TC-NER factors UVSSA and XPA are not, indicative of a non-canonical TC-NER mechanism. TC-DPC repair functions independent of SPRTN, but is mediated by the activities of the ubiquitin ligase CRL4CSA and the proteasome. Thus, DPCs are preferentially repaired in genes by a dedicated transcription-coupled repair mechanism, which is crucial to warrant correct transcription.

The cullin Rtt101 promotes ubiquitin-dependent DNA-Protein Crosslink repair across the cell cycle

Project description:DNA‒protein crosslinks (DPCs) challenge faithful DNA replication and fluid passage of genomic information. Our study unveils the cullin ubiquitin ligase Rtt101 as a novel DPC repair factor. Genetic analyses demonstrate that Rtt101 is essential for resistance to a wide range of DPC types. Using an inducible in vivo DPC system, we reveal the significant impact of Rtt101 on DPC removal, including topoisomerase 1 crosslinks. ChIP-sequencing and ChEC-sequencing specifically highlight the association of Rtt101 with replisomes as well as colocalization with DPCs. Our findings establish Rtt101 as a novel main contributor to DPC repair throughout the yeast cell cycle.

USP11 deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated SPRTN to repair DNA-protein crosslinks

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are toxic DNA lesions that interfere with DNA metabolic processes such as replication, transcription, and recombination. SPRTN is a replication-coupled DNA-dependent metalloprotease that degrades proteins crosslinked to DNA to promote DPC repair. SPRTN function is tightly regulated by a monoubiquitin switch that controls SPRTN chromatin accessibility during DPC repair. The deubiquitinase regulating SPRTN function in DPC repair is unknown. To identify SPRTN modifiers, we performed tandem-affinity purification and mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) analysis of SFB (S-FLAG-streptavidin binding peptide)-tagged SPRTN expressed in HEK 293T cells. We screened the MS list for proteins that are known to function as a deubiquitinase and identified only one potential SPRTN modifier, USP11 deubiquitinase. A reciprocal TAP-MS analysis of SFB-USP11 expressed in HEK 293T cells treated with camptothecin (CPT) immunoprecipitated SPRTN. USP11 interacts with SPRTN and cleaves monoubiquitinated SPRTN in cells and in vitro. USP11 depletion impaired SPRTN deubiquitination in response to formaldehyde-induced DPCs. Loss of USP11 causes an accumulation of unrepaired DPCs and cellular hypersensitivity to treatment with DPC-inducing agents. Our findings elucidates the function of USP11 in the regulation of SPRTN monoubiquitination and SPRTN-mediated DPC repair.

Transcriptional Consequences of XPA Disruption in Human Cell Lines

Project description:Purpose: Nucleotide excision repair (NER) in mammalian cells requires the xeroderma pigmentosum group A protein (XPA) as a core factor. Remarkably, XPA and other NER proteins have been detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation at some active promoters, and NER deficiency is reported to influence the activated transcription of selected genes. However, the global influence of XPA on transcription in human cells has not been determined. Methods: We analyzed the human transcriptome by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Four genetically matched human cell line pairs deficient or proficient in XPA were analyzed Results: Of the ~14,000 genes transcribed in each cell line, 325 genes (2%) had a significant XPA-dependent directional change in gene expression that was common to all four pairs (with a false discovery rate of 0.05). These genes were enriched in pathways for the maintenance of mitochondria. Only 27 genes were different by more than 1.5-fold. The most significant hits were AKR1C1 and AKR1C2, involved in steroid hormone metabolism. AKR1C2 protein was lower in all of the immortalized XPA-deficient cells. Retinoic acid treatment led to modest XPA-dependent activation of some genes with transcription-related functions. Conclusions: We conclude that XPA status does not globally influence human gene transcription. However, XPA significantly influences expression of a small subset of genes important for mitochondrial functions and steroid hormone metabolism. The results may help explain defects in neurological function and sterility in individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum.

Identification of formaldehyde-induced DNA-protein crosslinks by PxP-MS

Project description:Compromised enzymatic actions, reactive metabolites, and various chemotherapeutics cause toxic covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs). Failure to repair DPCs results in genomic instability, premature aging, and tumorigenesis. However, understanding the principles underlying DPC formation and repair has been hampered by a lack of methodologies to study DPCs in human cells. Here, we developed a technique for the Purification of x-linked Proteins (PxP), which allows identification and tracking of enzymatic and nonenzymatic DPCs. By combining PxP with quantitative proteomics, we investigated the nature of DPCs induced by formaldehyde.

A SUMO-mediated protective response to DNA-protein crosslinks

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are highly cytotoxic lesions that obstruct essential DNA transactions and whose resolution is critical for cell and organismal fitness. However, unlike the repair pathways for most types of DNA damage, the mechanisms by which cells respond to and overcome DPCs remain poorly understood. Recent studies unveiled a dedicated DPC repair pathway in higher eukaryotes involving the SprT-type metalloprotease SPRTN/DVC1, which proteolytically processes DPCs during DNA replication in a ubiquitin-controlled manner. Here, we show that aldehyde-generated DPCs elicit a potent and highly dynamic, cell cycle-independent SUMOylation response impacting numerous chromatin-associated human proteins. We identify an uncharacterized SprT metalloprotease, ACRC, which unlike SPRTN is targeted to DPCs in a SUMO-dependent manner. Moreover, we establish important physiological roles of the C. elegans ACRC orthologue GCNA-1 and SUMO-mediated signaling in promoting organismal survival upon DPC formation. Finally, we demonstrate that like aldehydes, defined enzymatic DNMT1 DPCs trigger a robust SUMO response targeting the crosslinked proteins and associated factors to promote efficient lesion processing and cellular fitness. Collectively, our findings reveal an evolutionarily conserved general role of SUMO-mediated signaling in facilitating responses to DPCs in metazoans.

- The STAR assay: A new sensitive, selective, and versatile method for isolation of DNA-protein crosslinks

Project description:- DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), formed by covalent conjugation of proteins to DNA molecule, are toxic DNA lesions created by exposure to physical or chemical insults or faulty enzymatic reactions. Because of their bulky nature and chemical changes to DNA molecule, they interfere with DNA metabolic processing and transcription. With the recent discovery of proteases and nucleases that participate in the repair of such lesions, the development of an accurate biochemical assay for DPC isolation became a priority for further mechanistic understanding of their repair. Here we propose the STAR assay, a novel sensitive, selective, and versatile method for the direct quantification of DPCs, with high sensitivity to physiologically relevant treatment conditions. The assay is efficient in detecting physically, chemically, or enzymatically created adducts. We demonstrate that nuclear localization is required for crosslinking the proteins to DNA molecule. Combining the STAR assay results with Comet assay and western blot confirmed that the repair of DPCs is a two-step process, starting with the removal of protein part of the lesions followed by the repair of the DNA molecule itself. The STAR assay is applicable for studying formation, repair, and biological significance of DPCs, as well as for chemotherapeutics dose management in personalized medicine.

Metalloprotease SPRTN/DVC1 Orchestrates Replication-Coupled DNA-Protein Crosslink Removal

Project description:Cytotoxicity of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) is ascribed largely to their ability to block the progression of DNA replication fork. DPCs are frequently occurring in cells, either as a consequence of metabolism or exogenous agents. The mechanism of DPCs removal is not completely understood. Here, we characterize SPRTN (DVC1) as specialised DNA-dependent metalloprotease for DPC removal in humans. SPRTN has an N-terminal metalloprotease domain that cleaves various DNA binding substrate during S-phase progression. SPRTN is a part of replisome and removes DPCs during DNA replication fork progression, thus protecting proliferative cells from DPCs toxicity. Ruijs-Aalfs Syndrome (RJALS) patient cells with monogenic mutations in SPRTN are hypersensitive to DPC-inducing agents due to DPC removal defect and DNA replication fork stalling. We propose a model where SPRTN protease forms specialised DNA-replication coupled DPC removal pathway essential for DNA replication fork progression and genome stability. We conclude RJALS is the first human syndrome linked to this pathway

DNA replication regulates SPRTN- and Proteasome-dependent DPC proteolysis

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are bulky DNA lesions that interfere with DNA metabolism and therefore threaten genomic integrity. Recent studies implicate the metalloprotease SPRTN in S-phase removal of DPCs, but how SPRTN activity is coupled to DNA replication is unknown. Using Xenopus egg extracts that recapitulate replication-coupled DPC proteolysis, we show that DPC degradation not only depends on SPRTN but also the proteasome, which act as independent DPC proteases. Proteasome recruitment requires DPC polyubiquitylation, which is triggered by single-stranded DNA, a byproduct of DNA replication. In contrast, SPRTN-mediated DPC degradation is independent of DPC polyubiquitylation but requires polymerase extension of a nascent strand to the lesion. Thus, SPRTN and proteasome activities are coupled to DNA replication by distinct mechanisms that together promote replication across immovable protein barriers.
