The PARP1-EXD2 Axis Orchestrates R-Loop Resolution to Safeguard Genome Stability

ABSTRACT: R-loops represent three-stranded nucleic acid structures comprising an RNA-DNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA. Deregulation of R-loop dynamics can obstruct DNA transcription and replication processes, compromising genome integrity and contributing to human diseases. Here, we identify EXD2(exonuclease 3′–5′ domain-containing 2) as a crucial R-Loop resolvase. We demonstrate that EXD2, through direct interaction with PARP1 via poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers, is recruited proximally to R-loops, where it undergoes acetylation by the acetyl-transferase CBP at Lys416. This modification increases EXD2’s binding affinity towards R-loop structures, enabling its transition to and retention on R-loops, despite the rapid turnover of PAR polymers. Once localized, EXD2 acts as an exonuclease, preferentially degrading RNA strands within R-loops to promote their resolution. Consequently, loss of EXD2 results in the intracellular accumulation of R-loops, exacerbating transcription-replication conflicts, and ultimately leading to genomic instability. These findings support a model in which R-loop-triggered PARP1 activation orchestrates EXD2-mediated resolution of R-loops, thereby preserving genome stability.

R-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instabilityR-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instability

Project description:Transcription can pose a threat to genomic stability through the formation of R-loops that obstruct the progression of replication forks. R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA-DNA hybrid with a displaced non-template DNA strand. We developed RDProx to identify proteins that regulate R-loops in human cells. RDProx relies on the expression of the hybrid-binding domain (HBD) of Ribonuclease H1 (RNaseH1) fused to the ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2), which permits mapping of the R-loop proximal proteome using quantitative mass spectrometry. We associated R-loop regulation with different cellular proteins and identified a role of the tumor suppressor DEAD box protein 41 (DDX41) in opposing R-loop-dependent genomic instability. Depletion of DDX41 resulted in replication stress, double strand breaks and increased inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, DDX41 opposes accumulation of R-loops at gene promoters and its loss leads to upregulated expression of TGFβ and NOTCH signaling genes. Germline loss-of-function mutations in DDX41 lead to predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adulthood. We propose that accumulation of co-transcriptional R-loops, associated gene expression changes and inflammatory response contribute to the development of familial AML with mutated DDX41.

ChIP-Seq in mouse embryonic stem cells of endogenous HA-tagged Tet1

Project description:R-loops are prevalent three-stranded nucleic acid structures, composed of a DNA:RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA loop. Although aberrant R-loop formation is a threat to genome stability, R-loops are enriched at CpG islands (CGI) and are implicated in maintaining CGI promoters unmethylated. Mapping of genomic regions where Tet1 binds in an R-loop dependent manner we here identify almost exclusively CGIs. The results suggest that R-loops are genomic address labels for TET1.

Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators

Project description:R-loops are three stranded nucleic acid structures that accumulate on chromatin in neurological diseases and cancers and that contribute to genome instability. Using a proximity-dependent labeling system, we identified distinct classes of proteins that regulate R-loops in vivo through different mechanisms. We show that ATRX suppresses R-loops by interacting with RNAs and preventing R-loop formation. Our proteomics screen also discovered an unexpected enrichment for proteins containing zinc fingers and homeodomains at R-loops. One of the most consistently enriched proteins at R-loops was activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), which is frequently mutated in ASD and causal in ADNP syndrome. We find that ADNP is necessary to suppress R-loops in vivo at its genomic targets and that it resolves R-loops in vitro. Furthermore, deletion of the homeodomain severely diminishes R-loop resolution activity in vitro, results in R-loop accumulation at ADNP targets and compromises neuronal differentiation. Notably, patient derived human induced pluripotent stem cells that contain an ADNP syndrome-causing mutation exhibit R-loop and CTCF accumulation at ADNP targets. Our findings point to a specific role for ADNP-mediated R-loop resolution in physiological and pathological neuronal function and, more broadly, to a previously unappreciated role for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins in R-loop regulation, with important implications for developmental disorders and cancers.

DDX17 helicase promotes resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts in human cells

Project description:R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures composed of an RNA:DNA hybrid and displaced DNA strand. These structures can halt DNA replication when formed co- transcriptionally in the opposite orientation to replication fork progression. Recent studies have shown that replication forks stalled by co-transcription R-loops can be restarted by a mechanism involving fork cleavage by MUS81 endonuclease, followed by reactivation of transcription, and fork religation by the DNA ligase IV (LIG4)/XRCC4 complex. However, how R-loops are eliminated to allow the sequential restart of transcription and replication in this pathway remains elusive. Here, we identified the human DDX17 helicase as a factor that associates with R-loops and counteracts R-loop-mediated replication stress to preserve genome stability. We show that DDX17 unwinds RNA:DNA hybrids in vitro and promotes MUS81-dependent restart of R-loop-stalled forks in human cells in a manner dependent on its helicase activity. Loss of DDX17 helicase induces accumulation of R-loops and the formation of R-loop-dependent anaphase bridges and micronuclei. These findings establish DDX17 as a component of the MUS81-LIG4 pathway for resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription- replication conflicts, which may be involved in R-loop unwinding.

Harmful R loops are prevented via different cell cycle specific mechanisms

Project description:R loops induce transcription-replication (T-R) conflicts, but recent reports have suggested that R-loops are caused by T-R conflicts. Identifying how R loops are generated is crucial to know how transcription compromise genome integrity. Genome-wide analyses of conditional yeast mutants reveal that transcription factors, such as the THO complex. prevents R loop formation in G1 and S-phase, whereas the Sen1 DNA-RNA helicase prevents them only in S-phase. Interestingly, damage accumulates asymmetrically downstream of the RF in sen1 cells but symmetrically in the hpr1 THO mutant. Our results unambiguously indicate that: R loops forms co-transcriptionally independently of DNA replication; THO is a general and cell-cycle independent safeguard against R loops, and Sen1, in contrast to previously believed, is an S-phase-specific R loop resolvase. These conclusions have important implications for the mechanism of R loop formation and the role of other factors reported to impact on R loop homeostasis

Genome-wide mapping of native G-loops in living cells

Project description:G-quadruplex (G4) are four‑stranded DNA secondary structures that form in guanine‑rich regions of the genome, which can enhance or repress gene expression. An R-loop is a special triple-stranded nucleic acid structure formed when nascent RNA invades double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) during transcription. G-loops are constituted by one or more DNA G4 on one strand and a stable RNA/DNA hybrid on the other. We developed the HepG4-seq for mapping the native G4s and the HBD-seq for mapping native R-loops. We combined the HepG4-seq and HBD-seq to profile the genomic native G-loops, which are regions co-occupied by both native G4s and R-loops, in both HEK293 cells and mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).

RNA-seq analysis of wild-type HEK293, HEK293 treated with DMSO, ML216 or NSC617145, wild-type mESCs and dhx9KO mESCs

Project description:G4s are built by stacked guanine tetrads connected via Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds and can be formed by intra- or inter-molecular folding of the tetramers. R-loops are three-stranded structures which contain a DNA-RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA. Both G4s and R-loops are involved in key biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, replication, genomic instability, class switch recombination in B cells, DNA damage and repair, and telomere maintenance. To understand the transcriptional regulation of G4s and R-loops, we performed the RNA-seq analysis on HEK293 cells treated with the inhibitors of G4 resolving helicase ML216 or NSC617145 and mESCs in which the resolving helicase DHX9 of G4 and R-loop was knockout.

SFPQ protects DNA repeat stability by recruiting histone H3.3 chaperon activity to R-loop structures [ChIP-seq]

Project description:R-loops are atypical, three-stranded nucleic acid structures that contain a stretch of RNA:DNA hybrids and an unpaired single stranded DNA loop. R-loops control physiologically processes, however when unscheduled or persistent they drive genome instability by creating conflicts with transcription and replication. The human genome is composed of up to 75% of repetitive sequence elements that can also hold transcriptional activity. Thus R-loop surveillance at repetitive elements is central for the maintenance of genome integrity. Here we show that the RNA binding protein SFPQ suppresses R-loop mediated replication stress and DNA damage at repeat elements such as telomeres, (peri)-centromeres, LINE-1 and SINE elements. SFPQ shows in-vitro R-loop binding activity, uses its RNA-recognition motif (RRM) domains to bind chromatin containing R-loops and uses its proline-rich (P) domain to recruit the histone H3.3 chaperon DAXX to maintain a correct nucleosome template that antagonizes R-loop formation. Loss of SFPQ results in DAXX delocalization from repeat elements, reduction of histone H3.3 incorporations, replication stress mediated DNA damage in repeat elements resulting and centromere defects resulting the formation of cytoplasmatic DNA species that activate the cGAS/STING pathway and innate immunity.

Genome-wide mapping of G-quadruplex structures with CUT&Tag

Project description:Single-stranded genomic DNA can fold into G-quadruplex (G4) structures or form DNA:RNA hybrids (R loops). Recent evidence suggests that such non-canonical DNA structures affect gene expression, DNA methylation, replication fork progression and genome stability. When and how G4 structures form and are resolved remains unclear. Here we report the use of Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) for mapping native G4 in mammalian cell lines at high resolution and low background. Mild native conditions used for the procedure retain more G4 structures and provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio than ChIP-based methods. We determine the G4 landscape of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), discovering G4 formation at active and poised promoters and enhancers. We discover that the presence of G4 motifs and G4 structures distinguishes active and primed enhancers in mESCs. Further performing R-loop CUT&Tag, we demonstrate the widespread co-occurence of single-stranded DNA, G4s and R loops, suggesting an intricate interrelation of non-canonical DNA structures, transcription and the formation and turnover of G4s.
