Local regulation of the Srs2 helicase by the SUMO-like domain protein Esc2 promotes recombination at sites of stalled replication

ABSTRACT: Accurate completion of replication relies on the ability of cells to activate error-free recombination-mediated DNA damage-bypass at sites of perturbed replication. However, as anti-recombinase activities are also recruited to replication forks, how recombination-mediated damage-bypass is enabled at replication stress sites remained puzzling. Here we uncovered that the conserved SUMO-like domains-containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Esc2, facilitates recombination-mediated DNA damage tolerance by allowing optimal recruitment of the Rad51 recombinase specifically at sites of perturbed replication. Mechanistically, Esc2 binds stalled replication forks and counteracts the anti-recombinase Srs2 helicase via a two-faceted mechanism involving chromatin recruitment and turnover of Srs2. Importantly, point mutations in the SUMO-like domains of Esc2 that reduce its interaction with Srs2 cause sub-optimal levels of Rad51 recruitment at damaged replication forks. In conclusion, our results reveal how recombination-mediated DNA damage tolerance is locally enabled at sites of replication stress, while globally prevented at undamaged replicating chromosomes.

Multifaceted down-regulation of the Srs2 helicase by the SUMO-like domain protein Esc2 promotes local recombination at sites of stalled replication

Project description:The SUMO-like domains-containing family of proteins to which Saccharomyces cerevisiae Esc2 belongs facilitates DNA damage tolerance (DDT) via elusive mechanisms. Here we report that Esc2 promotes recombination-mediated DDT by engaging in functional and physical interactions with Srs2 and Elg1, two readers of SUMOylated PCNA and modulators of DDT. These interactions depend on the SUMO Interacting Motifs of Elg1 and Srs2, and on the SUMO-like domains of Esc2. Mechanistically, Esc2 promotes Elg1 association to damaged and stalled forks and Srs2 turnover. Elg1 limits the levels of SUMOylated PCNA and subsequently of the anti-recombinase Srs2 at damaged sites, upholding local Rad51 binding. In conjunction with the SUMO–targeted ubiquitin ligase Slx5/Slx8, Esc2 also promotes proteasome-mediated Srs2 turnover, a process further enhanced by CDK-mediated Srs2 phosphorylation. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how SUMO- and DNA damage response-regulated pathways intersect to enable local error-free damage-bypass by recombination in the face of genotoxic stress. Proteins ChIP-chip analyses analysis were carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

The inability to disassemble Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments leads to aberrant mitosis and cell death

Project description:The proper maintenance of genetic material is essential for the survival of living organisms. One of the main safeguards of genome stability is homologous recombination involved in the faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks, the restoration of collapsed replication forks, and the bypass of replication barriers. Homologous recombination relies on the formation of Rad51 nucleofilaments which are responsible for the homology-based interactions between DNA strands. Here we demonstrate that without the regulation of these filaments by Srs2 and Rad54, which are known to remove Rad51 from single-stranded and double-stranded DNA respectively, the filaments strongly inhibit damage-associated DNA synthesis during DNA repair. Furthermore, this regulation is essential for cell survival under normal growth conditions as in the srs2Δ rad54Δ mutants unregulated Rad51 nucleofilaments cause activation of the DNA damage checkpoint, formation of mitotic bridges and loss of genetic material. These genome instability features may stem from the problems at stalled replication forks as the lack of Srs2 and Rad54 in the presence of Rad51 nucleofilaments impedes cell recovery from replication stress. This study demonstrates that the timely and efficient disassembly of recombination machinery is essential for genome maintenance and cell survival.

Involvement of a chromatin remodeling complex in damage tolerance during DNA replication

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes have been shown to participate in DNA replication in addition to transcription and DNA repair. However, the mechanisms of their involvement in DNA replication remain unclear. Here, we reveal a specific function of the yeast INO80 chromatin remodeling complex in the DNA damage tolerance pathways. Whereas INO80 is necessary for the resumption of replication at forks stalled by methyl methane sulfonate (MMS), it is not required for replication fork collapse after treatment with hydroxyurea (HU). Mechanistically, INO80 regulates DNA damage tolerance during replication through modulation of PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) ubiquitination and Rad51-mediated processing of recombination intermediates at impeded replication forks. Our findings establish a mechanistic link between INO80 and DNA damage tolerance pathways, indicating that chromatin remodeling is important for accurate DNA replication. INO80 distribution in WT cells was measured.

The Mgs1/WRNIP1 ATPase is required to prevent a recombination salvage pathway at damaged replication forks

Project description:DNA damage tolerance (DDT) is crucial for genome integrity maintenance. DDT is mainly carried out by template switch recombination, an error-free mode of overcoming DNA lesions, or translesion DNA synthesis, which is error-prone. Here we investigated the role of Mgs1/WRNIP1 in modulating DDT. Using budding yeast, we found that elimination of Mgs1 in cells lacking Rad5, an essential protein for DDT, activates an alternative mode of DNA damage bypass, driven by recombination, that allows chromosome replication and cell viability under stress conditions that block DNA replication forks. This salvage pathway is RAD52- and RAD59-dependent, requires the DNA polymerase and PCNA-modification at K164, and is enabled by Esc2 and the PCNA-unloader Elg1, being inhibited when Mgs1 is present. We propose that Mgs1 is necessary to prevent a potentially toxic recombination salvage pathway at sites of perturbed replication, which in turn favors Rad5-dependent template switching, thus helping to preserve genome stability.

SUMO protease and proteasome recruitment at the nuclear periphery differently affect replication dynamics at arrested forks.

Project description:Nuclear pores complexes (NPCs) are genome organizers, defining a particular nuclear compartment enriched for SUMO protease and proteasome activities, and act as docking sites for DNA repair. In fission yeast, the anchorage of perturbed replication forks to NPCs is an integral part of the recombination-dependent replication restart mechanism (RDR) that resumes DNA synthesis at terminally dysfunctional forks. By mapping DNA polymerase usage, we report that SUMO protease Ulp1-associated NPCs ensure efficient initiation of restarted DNA synthesis, whereas proteasome-associated NPCs sustain the speed of restarted DNA polymerase. In contrast to Ulp1, this last function occurs independently of SUMO chains formation. By analyzing the role of the nuclear basket, the nucleoplasmic extension of the NPC, we reveal that the activities of Ulp1 and the proteasome cannot compensate for each other and affect the dynamics of RDR in distinct ways. Our work probes the mechanisms by which the NPC environment ensures optimal RDR.

RAD51 Interconnects Between DNA Replication, DNA Repair and Immunity

Project description:RAD51, a multifunctional protein, plays a central role in DNA replication and homologous recombination repair, and is known to be involved in cancer development. We identified a novel role for RAD51 in innate immune response signaling. Defects in RAD51 lead to the accumulation of self-DNA in the cytoplasm, triggering a STING-mediated innate immune response after replication stress and DNA damage. Our data suggest that in addition to playing roles in homologous recombination-mediated DNA double-strand break repair and replication fork processing, RAD51 is also implicated in the suppression of innate immunity. Thus, our study reveals a previously uncharacterized role of RAD51 in initiating immune signaling, placing it at the hub of new interconnections between DNA replication, DNA repair, and immunity.

DNA bending facilitates the error-free DNA damage tolerance pathway and upholds genome integrity

Project description:DNA replication is sensitive to damage in the template. To bypass lesions and complete replication, cells activate recombination-mediated (error-free) and translesion synthesis-mediated (error-prone) DNA damage tolerance pathways. Crucial for error-free DNA damage tolerance is template switching, which depends on the formation and resolution of damage-bypass intermediates consisting of sister chromatid junctions. Here we show that a chromatin architectural pathway involving the high mobility group box protein Hmo1 channels replication-associated lesions into the error-free DNA damage tolerance pathway mediated by Rad5 and PCNA polyubiquitylation, while preventing mutagenic bypass and toxic recombination. In the process of template switching, Hmo1 also promotes sister chromatid junction formation predominantly during replication. Its C-terminal tail, implicated in chromatin bending, facilitates the formation of catenations/hemicatenations and mediates the roles of Hmo1 in DNA damage tolerance pathway choice and sister chromatid junction formation. Together, the results suggest that replication-associated topological changes involving the molecular DNA bender, Hmo1, set the stage for dedicated repair reactions that limit errors during replication and impact on genome stability. BrdU and proteins ChIP-chip analyses analysis were carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

The Bloom Syndrome Complex Senses RPA-Coated Single-Stranded DNA to Restart Stalled Replication Forks

Project description:The Bloom syndrome helicase BLM interacts with topoisomerase IIIa (TOP3A), RMI1 and RMI2 to form the BTR complex, which dissolves double Holliday junctions to produce non-crossover products during homologous recombination (HR). BLM also promotes DNA-end resection and stalled replication fork restart. However, it is still unclear how the activities of the BTR complex are regulated in cells. Here, we identify multiple highly conserved short linear peptide motifs within the BTR complex that interact cooperatively with RPA. Furthermore, we demonstrate that RPA-binding is essential for stable recruitment of BLM to DNA damage sites and for stalled fork restart, but not for its roles in HR. Disruption of RPA-binding thus constitutes a novel separation-of-function mutation of the BTR complex, and suggest a model in which BTR contains the intrinsic ability to measure levels of RPA-ssDNA at replication forks, which controls its recruitment and activation in response to replication stress.
