The LUMINIDEPENDENS protein is a general repressor of transcription in Arabidopsis [LD ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Genomic integrity is constantly challenged by transcription/replication conflicts, a major source of replication stress and instability across all life forms. While extensive studies have uncovered transcription/replication conflicts resolution mechanisms in animals, yeast, and prokaryotes, their counterparts in plants remain largely unexplored. Through a forward genetic screen, we identified the LUMINIDEPENDENS (LD) protein, previously known for regulating the flowering repressor FLC, as a key player in mitigating replication stress in plants. Strikingly, transcriptomic analyses reveal that loss of LD results in the upregulation of over 13,000 genes, establishing LD as a global transcriptional repressor. Consistent with this role, LD binds a substantial portion of the Arabidopsis genome and interacts with the MED18 subunit of the Mediator complex to modulate RNA polymerase II phosphorylation. These findings uncover a fundamental function of LD in fine-tuning transcription genome-wide, with an additional role in suppressing transcription/replication conflicts by locally dampening transcription and promoting replication fork progression. Our work highlights a previously unrecognized genome-protective strategy in plants, opening new avenues for understanding transcription/replication conflict management in eukaryotic systems.

AOH1996, a small molecule ligand of PCNA, modulates PCNA interaction with RPB1

Project description:Targeting transcription replication conflicts, a major source of endogenous DNA double stranded breaks and genomic instability, could have important therapeutic implications. When transcription and DNA replication machineries encounter each other on chromosomes, one way to resolve the conflict is temporarily dislodging RNA polymerase II from the conflict sites to enable the replication fork to proceed. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an essential component of replisomes, plays a critical role in this process. We discovered a small molecule ligand (AOH1996) of PCNA, which targets a binding pocket adjacent to the outer surface region of PCNA known to interact with PIP box and APIM motif proteins. Orally administrable, AOH1996 suppresses tumor growth but causes no discernable side effects. In addition, we found that AOH1996 treatment can stabilize interaction between PCNA and RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. To determine whether the effect of AOH1996 is mediated through affecting PCNA interaction with RPB1, we mutated Y418 within the APIM motif of RPB1 to an alanine in the SK-N-AS cell line by CRISPR and compared changes in protein expression profiles caused by AOH1996 in the parent and mutant SK-N-AS cells.

Transcription-Replication conflicts are linked to histone H3K79 methylation and R-loop dependent nucleosome eviction [WGS]

Project description:Transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) can provoke genome instability. Progressing transcription and replication machineries profoundly impact their underlying chromatin template and thus, conflict sites are vulnerable to chromatin and epigenome alterations. Here, we engineered an inducible TRC reporter system using a genome-integrated R-loop-prone sequence. Using this system, we characterized the dynamic changes of the local chromatin structure inflicted by TRCs, leading to reduced nucleosome occupancy and replication fork blockage. Consequently, inducing a handful TRCs on the genome results in a measurable global replication stress response. We also find a TRC-specific increase in H3K79 methylation at the R-loop forming TRC-site. Accordingly, inhibition of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L leads to increased cellular TRCs and exacerbated DNA damage response, suggesting that deposition of this mark is required for effective detection and resolution of TRCs. Thus, our work highlights the molecular dynamics and reveals specific epigenetic modifiers bookmarking TRC sites, relevant to cancer and other diseases.
