Junction-binding–defective Cdc13 promotes adaptive mutation and transcriptomic rewiring under telomere stress

ABSTRACT: Telomeres protect chromosome ends from degradation and inappropriate DNA repair. In budding yeast, the telomeric protein Cdc13 binds G-rich overhangs to maintain telomere integrity. Here, we show that Cdc13 also weakly interacts with adjacent duplex DNA at the ss/dsDNA junction, a property essential for inhibiting Exo1- and Sgs1–Dna2–mediated resection. Mutation of a conserved residue (K504E) disrupts this junction recognition, impairing resection inhibition, RPA displacement, and cooperation with Ku. cdc13-K504E cells are hypersensitive to Exo1 overexpression and accumulate non-pigmented revertant colonies during chronic growth. These white colonies exhibit faster growth, altered telomere-proximal gene expression, upregulation of metabolic pathways, and increased 4N DNA content. Our findings identify a dual DNA-binding mode of Cdc13 that protects telomeres by blocking resection and regulating Ku positioning, and reveal a stress-induced adaptive state associated with telomere dysfunction.

RNA-DNA hybrids prevent resection at dysfunctional telomeres

Project description:At critically short telomeres TERRA RNA-DNA hybrids become stabilized and drive homology-directed repair (HDR) to delay replicative senescence. However, even at long- and intermediate-length telomeres, not subject to HDR, transient TERRA RNA-DNA hybrids form, suggestive of additional roles. Here, we report that hybrids at telomeres prevent resection by the Exo1 nuclease when telomeres become non-functional. We employed the well-characterized cdc13-1 allele, where telomere resection can be induced in a temperature dependent manner, to demonstrate that ssDNA generation at telomeres is either prevented or augmented when RNA-DNA hybrids are stabilized or destabilized, respectively. The viability of cdc13-1 cells is affected by the presence or absence of hybrids accordingly. These results give insights into an additional role of TERRA at dysfunctional telomeres suggesting that it not only affects replicative senescence rates through HDR activation at critically short telomeres, but may also affect resection rates at intermediate length telomeres in pre-senescent cells.

Transcription profiling of yeast strains harbouring a temperature sensitive allele of the essential telomere capping gene cdc13-1 to investigate the genome-wide response to uncapped telomeres

Project description:Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes from being recognised as double strand breaks. When telomere structure is perturbed, a co-ordinated series of events to promote arrest of the cell cycle is rapidly initiated so that cells carrying damaged telomeres do not continue to divide. In order to better understand the eukaryotic response to telomere damage, we employed budding yeast strains harbouring a temperature sensitive allele of an essential telomere capping gene (cdc13-1) and conducted a transcriptomic study of the genome-wide response to uncapped telomeres. We show that telomere uncapping in cdc13-1 strains is associated with the differential expression of over 1100 genes and has features in common with the responses to DNA damage, diverse environmental stresses and, as expected, the absence of telomerase. The transcriptomic response to telomere uncapping includes many genes with known roles in telomere function and some features that appear to be unique. BNA2 is the second most highly up-regulated gene upon telomere uncapping in cdc13-1 strains and is required for the biosynthesis of NAD+. We have shown that deletion of BNA2 and other genes involved in NAD+ synthesis, suppresses the temperature sensitivity of cdc13-1 strains. NAD+ synthetic genes may therefore play previously unknown roles in the cellular response to telomere uncapping.

Transformation-induced stress at telomeres is counteracted through changes in the telomeric proteome including SAMHD1

Project description:Telomeres play crucial roles during tumorigenesis inducing cellular senescence upon telomere shortening and extensive chromosome instability during telomere crisis. However, it has not been investigated if and how cellular transformation and oncogenic stress alters telomeric chromatin composition and function. Here we transform human fibroblasts by consecutive transduction with vectors expressing hTERT, the SV40 early region and activated H-RasV12. Pairwise comparisons of the telomeric proteome during different stages of transformation reveals upregulation of proteins involved in chromatin remodeling, DNA repair and replication at chromosome ends. Depletion of several of these proteins induces telomere fragility indicating their roles in replication of telomeric DNA. Depletion of SAMHD1, which has reported roles in DNA resection and homology directed repair, leads to telomere breakage events in cells deprived of the shelterin component TRF1. Thus our analysis identifies factors, which accumulate at telomeres during cellular transformation to promote telomere replication and repair, resisting oncogene-borne telomere replication stress.

The telomeric Cdc13-Stn1-Ten1 complex regulates RNA pol II transcription

Project description:Specialized telomeric proteins have an essential role in maintaining genome stability through chromosome end protection and telomere length regulation. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the evolutionary conserved CST complex, composed of the Cdc13, Stn1 and Ten1 proteins, largely contributes to these functions. Here, we report the existence of genetic interactions between TEN1 and several genes coding for transcription regulators. Molecular assays confirmed this novel function of Ten1 and further established that it regulates the occupancies of RNA polymerase II and the Spt5 elongation factor within transcribed genes. Since Ten1, but also Cdc13 and Stn1, were found to physically associate with Spt5, we propose that Spt5 represents the target of CST in transcription regulation. Moreover, CST physically associated with Hmo1, previously shown to mediate the architecture of S phase-transcribed genes. The fact that, genome-wide, the promoters of genes down-regulated in the ten1-31 mutant are prefentially bound by Hmo1, leads us to propose a potential role for CST in synchronizing transcription with replication fork progression following head-on collisions. The present finding of the existence of extra-telomeric functions for Ten1 in the regulation of RNA polymerase II in cooperation with Stn1 and Cdc13 has profound repercussions on future studies both on telomeric and transcription pathways.

Chromatin remodeler Fun30 promotes efficient DSB end resection and recombination during yeast meiosis

Project description:Resection, nucleolytic processing of DSB ends is necessary to generate 3' single-stranded DNA tails (ssDNA) for homologous recombination (HR). Meiotic recombination initiated by Spo11 induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for the accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes. After cleavage, Spo11 stays covalently linked to the DSB ends, which requires MRX/Sae2 incision on broken molecules to allow following Exo1-mediated resection. Exonuclease I activity is inhibited by nucleosome bound DNA in vitro. To ensure resection proceeds, resection machineries must overcome chromatin barrier. Here we show that in the absence of Fun30, an SNF2-like ATPase, resection tract lengths shortened, albeit less severe than exo1-nd (with more longer resection tracts than that in exo1nd), across all DSB hotspots, suggesting that Fun30 is required for meiotic resection. Additive resection defect in fun30Δ exo1-nd (nuclease dead) compared to exo1-nd mutant indicates that Fun30 regulates MRX/Sae2 nicking positions. We also observed extremely short resection tracts in the double mutants are mostly confined to NDR, suggesting initial nicking step is blocked by nucleosomes.

Chromosome end protection by RAP1-mediated inhibition of DNA-PK

Project description:During classical non-homologous end joining (cNHEJ), DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) encapsulates free DNA ends, forming a recruitment platform for downstream end-joining factors including Ligase 4 (LIG4). DNA-PK can also bind telomeres, but does not initiate cNHEJ at this position. How the end joining process is regulated in this context-specific manner is currently unclear. Here we show that the Shelterin components TRF2 and RAP1 form a complex with DNA-PK that directly represses its end joining function at telomeres. Biochemical experiments and cryo-electron microscopy reveal that when bound to TRF2, RAP1 establishes a network of interactions with KU and DNA that prevents DNA-PK from recruiting LIG4. In cells, RAP1 is redundant with the APOLLO nuclease in repressing cNHEJ at chromosome ends, demonstrating that the inhibition of DNA-PK prevents telomere fusions in parallel with overhang-dependent mechanisms. Our experiments show that the end joining function of DNA-PK is specifically and directly repressed at telomeres, describing a molecular mechanism for the maintenance of individual linear chromosomes in mammalian cells.

Meiotic double-strand break end resection mapping by S1Seq

Project description:The DNA double-strand breaks that initiate homologous recombination during meiosis are subject to extensive 5Ê¹â??3â?² exonucleolytic processing. This resection is a central and conserved feature of recombination, yet its mechanism is poorly understood. Using a purpose-made deep-sequencing method, namely S1Seq, we mapped meiotic resection endpoints genome-wide at high spatial resolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Generating full-length resection tracts requires Exo1 exonuclease activity and the DNA-damage responsive kinase Tel1, but not the helicase Sgs1. Tel1 is also required for efficient and timely initiation of resection. We find that distributions of resection endpoints at individual genomic loci display pronounced heterogeneity that reflects a tendency for nucleosomes to block Exo1 in vivo, yet modeling experiments indicate that Exo1 digests chromatin with high apparent processivity and at rates approaching those for naked DNA in vitro. This paradox points to nucleosome destabilization or eviction as a determining feature of the meiotic resection landscape. 36 samples total: two biological replicate S1Seq maps of S.cerevisiae for each genetic background and time point in meiosis

Mammalian telomeres reforged with non-telomeric sequences

Project description:Telomere is a highly refined system for maintaining the stability of linear chromosomes. Most telomeres rely on simple repetitive sequences and telomerase enzymes, but in some species or telomerase-defective situations, alternative telomere lengthening (ALT) mechanism is utilized to protect chromosomal ends. Telomere loss can induce telomere recombination by which specific sequences can be recruited into telomeres. However, canonical telomeric repeat-based telomeres have been found in mammals. Here, we show that mammalian telomeres can also be completely reconstituted using a non-telomeric unique sequence. We found that a specific subtelomeric element, named as mouse template for ALT (mTALT), is utilized for repairing telomeric DNA damage and composing new telomeric sequences in mouse embryonic stem cells. We found a high-level of non-coding mTALT transcript despite the heterochromatic nature of mTALT-based telomere. After ALT activation, the increased HMGN1, a non-histone chromosomal protein, contributed to maintaining telomere stability by regulating telomeric transcriptions. Our findings reveal novel molecular features of potential telomeric sequences which can reconstitute telomeres during cancer formation and evolution.
