Binding of MYC to nascent RNA suppresses innate immune signaling by R-loop-derived RNA-DNA hybrids [ChIP_Rx]

ABSTRACT: In response to perturbed transcription elongation, the MYC oncoprotein multimerizes and undergoes a phase transition. The underlying mechanisms and their function are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that MYC globally relocalizes from its canonical positions on DNA to nascent RNA in response to the accumulation of intronic RNA. Binding of MYC to RNA induces MYC to form multimers that concentrate the nuclear exosome - a 3'-5' RNA exonuclease - and its targeting complexes around double-stranded RNA and R-loops. MYC harbors four RNA-binding regions (RBRI–IV), which overlap with evolutionarily conserved regions. Of these, RBRIII promotes MYC multimerization and is necessary for recruiting the exosome to R-loops. While RBRIII is dispensable for MYC-dependent transcriptional activation and pancreatic tumor cell proliferation in culture, it is indispensable for sustaining tumor growth in vivo. Via RBRIII, MYC suppresses the accumulation of R-loop-derived RNA-DNA hybrids and prevents them from binding to the pattern recognition receptor TLR3 and activating the innate immune kinase TBK1. Our data demonstrate that MYC has mechanistically distinct functions in transcription and RNA metabolism, and that its phase transition is an RNA-driven stress response that suppresses the accumulation of immunogenic RNA-DNA hybrids.

Binding of MYC to nascent RNA suppresses innate immune signaling by R-loop-derived RNA-DNA hybrids [DRIPc]

Project description:In response to perturbed transcription elongation, the MYC oncoprotein multimerizes and undergoes a phase transition; the underlying mechanisms and their function are unknown. Here, we show that MYC relocalizes from its canonical location on DNA to RNA in response to the accumulation of intronic RNA. MYC directly binds RNA, which promotes its multimerization. MYC multimers concentrate the nuclear exosome, a 3'-5' RNA exonuclease, and its targeting complexes around double-stranded RNA and R-loops. RNA binding of MYC suppresses activation of the innate immune kinase TBK1. Upon MYC depletion, intron-derived dsRNAs, including RNA derived from small nucleolar RNAs, and RNA-DNA hybrids accumulate on TLR3, a pattern recognition receptor that activates TBK1. RNA binding of MYC is required to suppress the accumulation of R-loop-derived RNA-DNA hybrids on TLR3. Our data show that the phase transition of MYC is an RNA-driven stress response that suppresses the accumulation of immunogenic RNAs.

RNA-mediated MYC multimerization suppresses innate immune signaling [mRNA]

Project description:In response to perturbed transcription elongation or splicing, MYC proteins multimerize and undergo a phase transition; the underlying mechanisms and the biological function of this transition are poorly understood. Here, we show that MYC proteins globally bind to nascent RNA in tumor cells and relocalize from their canonical location on DNA to RNA in response to the accumulation of intronic RNA. Blocking nascent RNA degradation induces MYC multimerization and MYC multimers are hubs that concentrate the nuclear exosome, a 3'-5' RNA exonuclease, and its targeting complexes around double-stranded (ds)RNA and R-loops. MYC binds RNA directly, and RNA binding promotes MYC multimerization and the recruitment of the exosome to R-loops. RNA binding of MYC has no role in transcriptional regulation but suppresses activation of the innate immune kinase TBK1 by the TLR3 pattern recognition receptor. Upon MYC depletion, intron-derived dsRNAs, including RNA derived from several classes of repetitive elements and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), accumulate on TLR3. TLR3-bound snoRNAs recovered from MYC-depleted cells carry aberrant 3’-ends, indicating defective exosomal processing. Our data show that the phase transition of MYC is a stress response driven by its binding to RNA that suppresses the accumulation of aberrant RNAs, which would otherwise activate innate immune signaling.

MYC multimers shield stalled replication forks from RNA polymerase

Project description:Oncoproteins of the MYC family drive the development of numerous human tumors. In unperturbed cells, MYC proteins bind to virtually all active promoters and control transcription by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII). MYC proteins can also coordinate transcription with DNA replication and promote the repair of transcription-associated DNA damage, but how they exert these mechanistically diverse functions is unknown. Here we show that MYC dissociates from many of its binding sites in active promoters and forms multimeric, often sphere-like structures in response to perturbation of transcription elongation, mRNA splicing or inhibition of the proteasome. Multimerization is accompanied by a global change in the MYC interactome towards proteins involved in transcription termination and RNA processing. MYC multimers accumulate on chromatin immediately adjacent to stalled replication forks and surround FANCD2, ATR and BRCA1 proteins, which are located at stalled forks. MYC multimerization is triggered in a HUWE1- and ubiquitylation-dependent manner. At active promoters, MYC multimers block antisense transcription and stabilize FANCD2 association with chromatin. This limits DNA double-strand break formation during S phase, suggesting that multimerization of MYC enables tumor cells to proliferate under stressful conditions.

INTS6-SOSS1 complex facilitates DNA:RNA hybrid autoregulation at double- strand breaks

Project description:This study shows that Integrator complex subunit 6 (INTS6) associates with the trimeric SOSS1 (comprising INTS3, INIP, and hSSB1) to form a tetrameric SOSS1 complex following DNA damage. INTS6 binds to DNA:RNA hybrids and plays a crucial role in Protein Phosphatase 2 (PP2A) recruitment to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), facilitating the dephosphorylation of RNAPII. Furthermore, INTS6 prevents the accumulation of damage-induced RNA transcripts and stabilizes DNA:RNA hybrids at DSB sites. INTS6 interacts with, and promotes the recruitment of Senataxin (SETX) to DSBs, facilitating the resolution of DNA:RNA hybrids/R-loops. These data demonstrate the significance of the SOSS1 complex in autoregulating DNA:RNA dynamics and the promotion of efficient DNA repair.

Senataxin (SETX) prevents Myc-induced replicative stress [DRIP-seq]

Project description:Here we investigated the RNA helicase Senataxin (SETX), an enzyme that resolve RNA-DNA hybrids and R-loops, to address its role in preventing replicative stress by oncogenic Myc. Silencing of SETX led to selective engagement of the DNA damage response (DDR) upon Myc activation, leading to a robust cytotoxicity. Pharmacological dissection of the upstream kinases regulating the DDR revealed a protective role of the ATR pathway, that once inactivated, boosted SETX driven-DDR. While loss of SETX did not lead to a genome-wide increase of R-loops, mechanistic analyses revealed enhanced R-loops localized at DDR-foci and newly replicated genomic loci, compatible with a selective role of SETX in resolving RNA-DNA hybrids to alleviate Myc-induced RS.

The MYCN oncoprotein is an RNA-binding protein that promotes nascent RNA turnover via the NEXT targeting complex of the nuclear exosome

Project description:The MYCN oncoprotein forms a DNA-binding heterodimer with its partner protein MAX. MYCN-driven tumor cells depend on the nuclear exosome, a 3`-5` RNA exonuclease complex, to progress through S phase. Here we show that MYCN forms stable high molecular weight complexes with the nuclear exosome and additional RNA-binding proteins. Enhanced cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (eCLIP) experiments reveal that MYCN binds to thousands of sites on RNA, mainly localized in introns. MYCN directly binds RNA with a preference for UG-rich sequences via a short, highly conserved sequence motif termed MycBox I. Upon exosome inhibition, MYCN relocalizes globally from promoters to intronic RNAs; at promoters, MYCN is then replaced by the repressive MXD6 (MNT) protein, leading to the recruitment of histone deacetylase complexes and inhibition of MYCN-dependent transcription. MYCN is tightly associated with the exosome targeting complex NEXT and promotes the degradation of non-polyadenylated RNA at its bound introns. Our data demonstrate that MYCN is an RNA-binding protein that controls nascent RNA turnover and argue that the competition between RNA- and DNA-bound states of MYCN links the dynamics of the MYCN/MAX/MXD network to the completion of mRNA processing.

Stress-induced multimerization of MYC shields stalled replication forks from RNA Polymerase

Project description:Oncoproteins of the MYC family drive the development of numerous human tumors1-4. In unperturbed cells, MYC proteins bind to virtually all active promoters and control transcription by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII)2,3,5,6. MYC proteins can also coordinate transcription with DNA replication7-9 and promote the repair of transcription-associated DNA damage10, but how they exert these mechanistically diverse functions is unknown. Here we show that MYC dissociates from most of its binding sites in promoters and forms stable multimeric shell-like structures in response to perturbation of transcription elongation, mRNA splicing, or DNA replication. MYC multimers recruit interacting proteins that can promote transcription termination into their shells. Intriguingly, MYC multimers accumulate on chromatin immediately adjacent to stalled replication forks and surround the FANCD2, ATR and BRCA1 proteins, which are located at stalled forks11,12. MYC multimers accumulate ubiquitylated proteins and their formation depends on the HUWE1 ubiquitin ligase10,13. In response to replication stress, HUWE1 and MYC limit phosphorylation of the single-strand binding protein, RPA. We propose that localised multimerisation of MYC creates a transcription termination zone around stalled replication forks that limits checkpoint signalling in response to transcriptional and replication stress, allowing tumor cells to actively proliferate under stressful conditions
