Evaluation of Repair Activity by Quantification of Ribonucleotides in the Genome

Project description:Ribonucleotides incorporated in the genome are a source of endogenous DNA damage, and also serve as signals for repair. Although recent advances of ribonucleotide detection by sequencing, the balance between incorporation and repair of ribonucleotides has not been elucidated. Here, we describe a competitive sequencing method, Ribonucleotide Scanning Quantification sequencing (RiSQ-seq), which enables absolute quantification of misincorporated ribonucleotides throughout the genome by background normalization and standard adjustment within a single sample. RiSQ-seq analysis of cells harboring wild-type DNA polymerases revealed that ribonucleotides were incorporated non-uniformly in the genome with a 3’-shifted distribution and preference for GC sequences. Although ribonucleotide profiles in wild-type and repair-deficient mutant strains showed a similar pattern, direct comparison of distinct ribonucleotide levels in the strains by RiSQ-seq enabled evaluation of ribonucleotide excision repair activity at base resolution and revealed the strand bias of repair. The distinct preferences of ribonucleotide incorporation and repair create vulnerable regions associated with indel hotspots, suggesting that repair at sites of ribonucleotide misincorporation serves to maintain genome integrity and that RiSQ-seq can provide an estimate of indel risk.

Stably incorporated ribonucleotides in murine tissues: quantitation, base identity and distribution in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA

Project description:Ribonucleotides are estimated to be the most common non-canonical nucleotides transiently incorporated in DNA. Their presence or failure of their removal can affect genome stability and mutations in factors involved in dNTP pool maintenance or ribonucleotide removal can cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome or promote certain human cancers. Here, we have mapped and quantitated ribonucleotides genome-wide, in nine tissues of wild-type mice. We observed tissue-specific variation in number and base identity of incorporated ribonucleotides and present evidence that a number of genomic features, such as tRNA genes, transcription start sites and G-quadruplexes, can increase the frequency of stably incorporated ribonucleotides in their proximity. Moreover, we present the non-random distribution of incorporated ribonucleotides in mtDNA and identified ribonucleotide hotpots. The study presents a framework to understand the physiological role of ribonucleotides in mammalian DNA.

Ribodysgenesis: sudden genome instability in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae arising from RNase H2 cleavage at genomic-embedded ribonucleotides

Project description:Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used as a model system for studying genome instability. Here, heterozygous S. cerevisiae zygotes were generated to determine the genomic alterations induced by sudden introduction of active RNase H2. In combination of a custom SNP microarray, the patterns of chromosomal instability could be explored at a whole genome level. Ribonucleotides can be incorporated into DNA during replication by the replicative DNA polymerases. These aberrant DNA subunits are efficiently recognized and removed by Ribonucleotide Excision Repair, which is initiated by the heterotrimeric enzyme RNase H2. While RNase H2 is essential in higher eukaryotes, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can survive without RNase H2 enzyme, although the genome undergoes mutation, recombination and other genome instability events at an increased rate. Although RNase H2 can be considered as a protector of the genome from the deleterious events that can ensue from recognition and removal of embedded ribonucleotides, under conditions of high ribonucleotide incorporation and retention in the genome in a RNase H2-negative strain, sudden introduction of active RNase H2 causes massive DNA breaks and genome instability in a condition which we term “ribodysgenesis”. The DNA breaks and genome instability arise solely from RNase H2 cleavage directed to the ribonucleotide-containing genome. Survivors of ribodysgenesis have massive loss of heterozygosity events stemming from recombinogenic lesions on the ribonucleotide-containing DNA, with increases of over 1000X from wild-type. DNA breaks are produced over one to two divisions and subsequently cells adapt to RNase H2 and ribonucleotides in the genome and grow with normal levels of genome instability.

Ribonucleotides incorporated by the yeast mitochondrial DNA polymerase are not repaired

Project description:Misincorporation of ribonucleotides into DNA during genome replication has recently become recognized as a significant source of genomic instability. The frequency of ribonucleotides in the genome is determined by dNTP/rNTP ratios, the ability of the DNA polymerases to discriminate against ribonucleotides, and by the capacity of repair mechanisms to remove misincorporated ribonucleotides. To simultaneously compare how the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes incorporate and remove ribonucleotides, we challenged these processes by imbalancing cellular dNTP pools. Using a collection of yeast strains with altered dNTP pools, we discovered an inverse relationship between the concentration of individual dNTPs and the amount of the corresponding ribonucleotides incorporated in mitochondrial DNA, while in nuclear DNA the ribonucleotide pattern was only altered in the absence of ribonucleotide excision repair. Our analysis uncovers major differences in ribonucleotide repair between the two genomes and provides concrete evidence that yeast mitochondria lack mechanisms for repair of misincorporated ribonucleotides.

Ribonucleotides in DNA

Project description:We report here the consequences of loss of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNase H2 by comparing mRNA expression profiles in wild type yeast versus a strain lacking the RNH201 gene, encoding the catalytic subunit. Deleting RHN201 alters mRNA expression for hundreds of genes. Expression changes were based on seven biological replicates (3 from one batch and 4 from another batch) and are seen for many genes involved in stress responses and genome maintenance, consistent with a role of RNase H2 in removing ribonucleotides incorporated into DNA during replication. Differentially expressed genes include, those involved in ribosomal RNA processing and biogenesis and in tRNA modification, supports a role for RNase H2 in resolving R-loops formed during transcription of rRNA and tRNA. Other differentially expresses genes include putative or known helicases and nucleases maintenance of dsRNA viruses, which could be relevant to how mammalian RNase H2 dysfunction elicits an innate immune response leading to neurodegeneration. We examine the consequences of loss of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNase H2 by comparing mRNA expression profiles in wild type yeast versus a strain lacking the RNH201 gene encoding the catalytic subunit. Expression changes were based on seven biological replicates (3 from one batch and 4 from another batch). For strain reference please see S.A.
