Genome-wide homeostatic regulation of R-loops by the dual RNA-DNA topoisomerase, topoisomerase III-β (TOP3B) I

ABSTRACT: We report the mapping of R-loops across the human genome in wild-type and TOP3B-KO HCT116 and HT1080 cells by performing DNA: RNA Immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (DRIP-seq). Cellular depletion of TOP3B globally increases the intensity of pre-existing R-loops. The enriched R-loop peaks in TOP3B-KO cells are both in intergenic and genic regions, including protein-coding and non-coding RNA genes. Long genes and genes with high exon-intron junctions accumulate more R-loops. Global transcription analyses indicate that increased R-loop signals do not significantly change transcript level in TOP3B-KO cells. However, increased R-loops in TOP3B-KO cells cause stabilization of G4-quadruplexs and increased gH2AX foci. Altogether, these results demonstrate that TOP3B is needed for the removal of deleterious R-loops that lead to genomic breaks.

Topoisomerase IIIb protects from immune dysregulation and tumorigenesis

Project description:Topoisomerase III-beta (Top3b) reduces nucleic acid torsional stress and intertwining generated during RNA and DNA metabolism while protecting the genome from pathological R-loops, which otherwise result in DNA breakage and genome instability. By studying Top3b knockout mice (Top3b-KO), we find that the loss of Top3b accelerates the development of spontaneous atypical lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphomas arising in spleens and lymph nodes, the organs with prominent Top3b expression. Aging Top3b-KO mice also display splenomegaly and systemic immune alterations including neutrophilia and lymphopenia consistent with chronic inflammation. At the molecular level, Top3b deficiency causes genome-wide R-loop accumulation in splenocytes as measured by CUT&Tag sequencing. Increased R-loops are associated with genomic breaks and activation of immune signaling pathways including innate and adaptive immune cell signaling, IL-4 signaling, FAK signaling and cGAS-STING. Additionally, knocking-out Top3b promotes the rapid development of syngeneic EL4 T-cell lymphomas. In conclusion, our work suggests that Top3b protects from lymphoma, tumorigenesis and immune dysregulations.

A dual-activity topoisomerase complex regulates mRNA translation and turnover

Project description:Topoisomerase 3β (TOP3B) and TDRD3 form a dual-activity topoisomerase complex that interacts with FMRP and can change the topology of both DNA and RNA. Here, we investigated the post-transcriptional influence of TOP3B and associated proteins on mRNA translation and turnover. First, we discovered that in human HCT116 colon cancer cells, knock-out (KO) of TOP3B had similar effects on mRNA turnover and translation as did TDRD3-KO, while FMRP-KO resulted in rather distinct effects, indicating that TOP3B had stronger coordination with TDRD3 than FMRP in mRNA regulation. Second, we identified TOP3B-bound mRNAs in HCT116 cells; we found that while TOP3B did not directly influence the stability or translation of most TOP3B target mRNAs, it stabilized a subset of target mRNAs but had a more complex effect on translation--enhancing for some mRNAs whereas reducing for others. Interestingly, a point mutation that specifically disrupted TOP3B catalytic activity only partially recapitulated the effects of TOP3B-KO on mRNA stability and translation, suggesting that the impact of TOP3B on target mRNAs is only in part linked to its ability to change topology of mRNAs. Collectively, our data suggest that TOP3B-TDRD3 can regulate mRNA translation and turnover by mechanisms that are dependent and independent of topoisomerase activity.

A dual-activity topoisomerase complex promotes both transcriptional activation and repression in response to starvation

Project description:Topoisomerases are required to release topological stress generated by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription. Here we show that in response to starvation, the complex of topoisomerase 3b (TOP3B) and TDRD3 can promote transcriptional activation or repression. Human HCT116 cells individually inactivated for TOP3B, TDRD3, or TOP3B topoisomerase activity, exhibit similarly disrupted transcription for both starvation-activated genes (SAGs) and starvation-repressed genes (SRGs). Responding to starvation, both TOP3B-TDRD3 and the elongating form of RNAPII exhibit concomitantly increased binding to TOP3B-dependent SAGs, at binding sites that overlap. Strikingly, TOP3B inactivation decreases the binding of elongating RNAPII to TOP3B-dependent SAGs while increased it to SRGs. Furthermore, TOP3B-ablated cells display reduced transcription of several autophagy-associated genes and autophagy per se. Our data suggest that TOP3B-TDRD3 can promote both transcriptional activation and repression by regulating RNAPII distribution. In addition, the findings that it can facilitate autophagy may account for the shortened lifespan of Top3b-KO mice.

TDRD3 promotes DHX9 chromatin recruitment and R-loop resolution

Project description:R-loops, which consist of a DNA/RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of chromatin biology. R-loops are particularly enriched at gene promoters, where they play important roles in regulating gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms that control promoter-associated R-loops remain unclear. The epigenetic “reader” Tudor domain-containing protein 3 (TDRD3), which recognizes methylarginine marks on histones and on the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, was previously shown to recruit DNA topoisomerase 3B (TOP3B) to relax negatively supercoiled DNA and prevent R-loop formation. Here, we further characterize the function of TDRD3 in R-loop metabolism and introduce the DExH-box helicase 9 (DHX9) as a novel interaction partner of the TDRD3/TOP3B complex. TDRD3 directly interacts with DHX9 via its Tudor domain. This interaction is important for recruiting DHX9 to target gene promoters, where it resolves R-loops in a helicase activity-dependent manner to facilitate gene expression. Additionally, TDRD3 also stimulates the helicase activity of DHX9. This stimulation relies on the OB-fold of TDRD3, which likely binds the ssDNA in the R-loop structure. Thus, DHX9 functions together with TOP3B to suppress promoter-associated R-loops. Collectively, these findings reveal new functions of TDRD3 and provide important mechanistic insights into the regulation of R-loop metabolism.

Topoisomerase 3β Interacts with RNAi Machinery to Promote Heterochromatin Formation and Transcriptional Silencing in Drosophila [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Topoisomerases solve topological problems during DNA metabolism, but whether they participate in RNA metabolism remains unclear. Top3b represents a family of topoisomerases carrying activities for both DNA and RNA. Here we show that in Drosophila, Top3b interacts biochemically and genetically with the RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC) containing AGO2, p68 RNA helicase, and FMRP. Top3b and RISC mutants are similarly defective in heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing by position-effect variegation assay. Moreover, both Top3b and AGO2 mutants exhibit reduced levels of heterochromatin protein HP1 in pericentric heterochromatin. Furthermore, expression of several genes and transposable elements in heterochromatin is increased in the Top3b mutant. Notably, Top3b mutants defective in either RNA binding or catalytic activity are deficient in promoting HP1 recruitment and silencing of transposable elements. Our data suggest that Top3b may act as an RNA topoisomerase in siRNA-guided heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing.

Moreover, both Top3b and AGO2 single mutants exhibit reduced heterochromatin protein HP1 in pericentric heterochromatin; and this reduction is also suppressed in their double mutant. Furthermore, expression of several genes and transposable elements (TEs) in heterochromatin is increased in the Top3b mutant. Notably, Top3b mutants defective in either RNA binding or catalytic activity are deficient in promoting HP1 recruitment and silencing of TEs. Our data suggest that Top3b acts as an RNA topoisomerase in siRNA-guided heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing.
