Dual roles of DEAD-box RNA helicase Brr2 in genome stability


ABSTRACT: R-loop is a common chromatin feature consisting of a displaced single-stranded DNA and an RNA-DNA hybrid, and dysregulation of R-loop surveillance results in genomic and transcriptomic instability. Although the RNA moiety of most R-loops originates from linear transcripts, circular RNAs (circRNAs), outputs from back-splicing, can also hybridize with the complementary strand of a DNA duplex. However, how circRNA-associated R-loops (ciR-loops) are monitored remains elusive. Here, we identified the DEAD-box RNA helicase Brr2 as an evolutionarily-conserved ciR-loop repressor with dual roles in inhibiting circRNA generation and resolving harmful ciR-loops. Accumulation of ciR-loops caused by loss-of-function of this dual-action factor induces antisense transcription and premature transcription termination for many genes and generates significant DNA damage, which further leads to a series of defects in DNA replication, cell division and cell proliferation. We propose that functional integration of multilayered regulation by a single protein can be an efficient double protection against genome instability.
