Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are bulky DNA lesions that interfere with DNA metabolism and therefore threaten genomic integrity. Recent studies implicate the metalloprotease SPRTN in S-phase removal of DPCs, but how SPRTN activity is coupled to DNA replication is unknown. Using Xenopus egg extracts that recapitulate replication-coupled DPC proteolysis, we show that DPC degradation not only depends on SPRTN but also the proteasome, which act as independent DPC proteases. Proteasome recruitment requires DPC polyubiquitylation, which is triggered by single-stranded DNA, a byproduct of DNA replication. In contrast, SPRTN-mediated DPC degradation is independent of DPC polyubiquitylation but requires polymerase extension of a nascent strand to the lesion. Thus, SPRTN and proteasome activities are coupled to DNA replication by distinct mechanisms that together promote replication across immovable protein barriers.

Project description:In several metazoans the number of active replication origins in embryonic nuclei is higher than in somatic ones, ensuring rapid genome duplication during synchronous embryonic cell divisions. High replication origin density can be restored by somatic nuclear reprogramming. However, mechanisms underlying high replication origin density formation coupled to rapid cell cycles are poorly understood. Here, we characterized a fraction of Xenopus egg extract able to stimulate somatic DNA replication.

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTM) of chromatin control the genomic environment for transcription, DNA replication and repair in response to cell stimuli1–3. Replication stress in budding and fission yeasts leads to abundant acetylation of histone H3 on lysine-56 (H3K56ac)4–6, but only trace levels of H3K56ac are detected in human cells7,8, implying that other histone modifications promote a repair-permissive environment. In budding yeast, genetic interactions between histone H3 lysine-56 and serine-57 substitutions suggest a possible role for serine-57 (H3S57) in responses to replication poisons9. In this study, we identify a phosphorylated form of H3S57 (H3S57ph) using phosphoproteomics in replicating Xenopus egg extracts, and show that it is a highly conserved histone modification which promotes responses to DNA replication stress in human cells. A kinome screen and functional experiments identified Checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) as the H3S57ph kinase; CHK1 inhibition eliminates H3S57ph and arrests cells in S-phase. Induction of replication stress increases H3S57ph, while disrupting H3S57ph reduces stalling of replication forks upon replication stress, inducing DNA damage. We identified two distinct mechanisms of action. First, H3S57ph interacts with specific DNA repair proteins, notably Rad50. Second, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the nucleosome core particle and in vitro assays indicate that H3S57ph interacts with the unacetylated side-chain of K56, thus loosening DNA-histone contacts. Our results suggest that H3S57ph is an effector of CHK1 that assists in processing stalled replication forks by increasing nucleosome mobility and promoting interactions with repair machinery, thereby limiting DNA damage upon replication stress.

Project description:The aim of the project was to purify Xenopus replisome from replicationg chromatin assembled in Xenopus laevis egg extract. To this end recombinant Cdc45-TEV-His10-FLAG5 was expressed in bacteria and purified. 4 ml of Xenopus laevis egg extract was activated into interphase and supplemented with 10 ng/µl of demembranated sperm DNA, 70 nM recombinant Cdc45, 40 µM aphidicolin, 5 mM caffeine and incubated at 23°C for 60 min. Chromatin was isolated in ANIB100 buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 100 mM KOAc, 10 mM MgOAc, 2.5 mM Mg-ATP, 0.5 mM spermidine, 0.3 mM spermine, 1 µg/ml of each aprotinin, leupeptin and pepstatin, 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 0.1 mM Na3VO4 and 10 mM 2-chloroacetamide) as described previously (Gillespie, Gambus et al. 2012). Chromatin pellets re-suspended in ANIB100 containing 20% sucrose. Protein complexes were released from chromatin by digestion with 4 U/µl benzonase nuclease (E1014-25KU, Sigma) and sonicated for 5 min using a sonicator with settings: 30 sec on, 30 sec off, low power (Bioruptor Diagenode UCD-200). Immunoprecipitation was performed using 100 µl of anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma-Aldrich). Before elution the sample was washed four times with 1 ml of ANIB100 20% sucrose, ANIB100 20% sucrose 0.1% Triton X-100, ANIB100 and elution buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 100 mM KAc, 5 mM MgAc, 1 mM ATP and 0.02% NP-40), respectively. The sample was eluted adding 250 µM 3xFLAG peptide (Stratech) to 200 µl of elution buffer and a small proportion of it analysed by mass spectrometry.

Project description:G-quadruplex (or G4) structures are non-canonical DNA structures that form in guanine-rich sequences and threaten genome stability when not properly resolved. G4 unwinding occurs during S phase via an unknown mechanism. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we define a three-step G4 unwinding mechanism that acts during DNA replication. First, the replicative helicase (CMG) stalls at a leading strand G4 structure. Second, the DHX36 helicase mediates the bypass of the CMG past the intact G4 structure, which allows approach of the leading strand to the G4. Third, G4 structure unwinding by the FANCJ helicase enables the DNA polymerase to synthesize past the G4 motif. A G4 on the lagging strand template does not stall CMG, but still requires active DNA replication for unwinding. DHX36 and FANCJ have partially redundant roles, conferring robustness to this pathway. Our data reveal a novel genome maintenance pathway that promotes faithful G4 replication thereby avoiding genome instability.

Project description:Ubiquitin widely modifies proteins, thereby regulating most cellular functions. The complexity of ubiquitin signalling necessitates unbiased methods enabling global detection of dynamic protein ubiquitylation. Here, we describe UBIMAX (UBiquitin target Identification by Mass spectrometry in Xenopus egg extracts), which enriches ubiquitin-conjugated proteins and quantifies regulation of protein ubiquitylation under precise and adaptable conditions. We benchmark UBIMAX by investigating DNA double-strand break-responsive ubiquitylation events, identifying previously known targets and revealing the actin-organising protein Dbn1 as a novel major target of DNA damage-induced ubiquitylation. We find that Dbn1 is targeted for proteasomal degradation by the SCFβ-Trcp1 ubiquitin ligase, in a conserved mechanism driven by ATM-mediated phosphorylation of a previously uncharacterized β-Trcp1 degron containing an SQ motif. We further show that this degron is sufficient to induce DNA-damage dependent protein degradation of a model substrate. Collectively, we demonstrate UBIMAX’s ability to identify novel targets of stimulus-regulated ubiquitylation and reveal an SCFβ-Trcp1-mediated ubiquitylation mechanism controlled directly by the apical DNA damage response kinases.

Project description:We develop a high-throughput nucleoside analog incorporation sequencing assay and identify thousands of early replication initiation zones (ERIZs) in both mouse and human cells. The identified ERIZs fall in open chromatin compartments while are mutually exclusive with transcription elongation and occupy mainly non-transcribed regions adjacent to transcribed regions. Furthermore, we reveal that RNA polymerase II actively redistributes the chromatin-encircled mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) complex but not the origin-recognition complex (ORC) to actively restrict early DNA replication initiation outside of transcribed regions. The coupling of RNA polymerase II and MCM is further validated by detected MCM accumulation and DNA replication initiation after RNA polymerase II stalling via anchoring nuclease-dead Cas9 at the transcribed genes. Importantly, we also find that the orchestration of DNA replication initiation by transcription can efficiently prevent gross DNA damage.
