A complex of BRCA2 and PP2A-B56 is required for homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the tumour suppressor BRCA2 are associated with predisposition to breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA2 has a central role in genome integrity by facilitating the repair of toxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination. BRCA2 acts by promoting RAD51 nucleofilament formation on resected single-stranded DNA, but how BRCA2 activity is regulated during HR is not fully understood. Here, we delineate a pathway where ATM and ATR kinases phosphorylate a highly conserved region in BRCA2 in response to DNA DSBs. These phosphorylations stimulate the binding of the protein phosphatase PP2A-B56 to BRCA2 through a conserved binding motif. We show that the phosphorylation-dependent formation of the BRCA2-PP2A-B56 complex is required for efficient RAD51 loading to sites of DNA damage and HR-mediated DNA repair. Moreover, we find that several cancer-associated mutations in BRCA2 deregulate the BRCA2-PP2A-B56 interaction and sensitize cells to PARP inhibition. Collectively, our work uncovers PP2A-B56 as a positive regulator of BRCA2 function in HR with clinical implications for BRCA2 and PP2A-B56 mutated cancers.

Structural mechanism for inhibition of PP2A-B56 and oncogenicity by CIP2A

Project description:Abstract The protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) heterotrimer PP2A-B56 is a human tumor suppressor. However, the molecular mechanisms inhibiting PP2A-B56in cancer are poorly understood. Here, we report molecular level details and structural mechanism of PP2A-B56inhibition by an oncoprotein CIP2A. Upon direct binding to PP2A-B56 trimer, CIP2A replaces PP2A-A subunit and thereby hijacks both the B56 and the catalytic PP2Ac subunit to form a CIP2A-B56-PP2Ac pseudotrimer. Further, CIP2A competes with B56 substrate binding by blocking the LxxIxE-motif substrate binding pocket on B56. Relevant to oncogenic activity of CIP2A across human cancers, the N-terminal head domain-mediated interaction with B56 stabilizes CIP2A protein. Functionally, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated single amino acid mutagenesis of the head domain blunted MYC expression and MEK phosphorylation, and abrogated triple-negative breast cancer in vivo tumor growth. Collectively, we discover a unique multi-step “hijack and mute” mechanism of protein complex regulation inhibiting tumor suppressor PP2A-B56. Further, the results unfold single structural determinant for CIP2A´s oncogenic activity, potentially facilitating therapeutic modulation of CIP2A in cancer and other diseases.

A highly conserved pocket on PP2A-B56 is required for hSgo1 binding and cohesion protection during mitosis

Project description:The shugoshin proteins are universal protectors of centromeric cohesin during mitosis and meiosis. The binding of human hSgo1 to the PP2A-B56 phosphatase through a coiled coil (CC) region mediates cohesion protection during mitosis. Here we undertook a structure function analysis of the PP2A-B56-hSgo1 complex, revealing unanticipated aspects of complex formation and function. We establish that a highly conserved pocket on the B56 regulatory subunit is required for hSgo1 binding and cohesion protection during mitosis in human somatic cells. Consistent with this, we show that hSgo1 blocks the binding of PP2A-B56 substrates containing a canonical B56 binding motif. We find that PP2A-B56 bound to hSgo1 dephosphorylates Cdk1 sites on hSgo1 itself to modulate cohesin interactions. Collectively our work provides important insight into cohesion protection during mitosis.

A dynamic charge:charge interaction modulates PP2A:B56 interactions

Project description:The recruitment of specific substrates by ser/thr protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulatory B-subunits is poorly understood, limiting our understanding of PP2A-regulated signaling. Recently, the first PP2A:B56 consensus binding motif, LxxIxE, which confers substrate specificity to PP2A:B56 holoenzymes, was identified. However, most validated LxxIxE motifs interact with PP2A:B56 with low micromolar affinities, suggesting that additional recognition motifs exist that function cooperatively to enhance PP2A:B56 binding. Here, we report the requirement of a positively charged motif in a subset of PP2A:B56 interactors that facilitates B56 binding via dynamic charge:charge interactions. Using molecular and cellular approaches, we show that a highly conserved, negatively charged groove on B56 mediates this dynamic interaction. We also show that this motif is required for efficient binding and dephosphorylation of KIF4A in cells, confirming the functional relevance of this motif for PP2A:B56 dephosphorylation. Collectively our results provide an important framework for understanding PP2A regulation of cellular signaling.

Determinants of site-specific dephosphorylation by PP2A-B56

Project description:The tumor suppressor PP2A is a major cellular protein phosphatase that regulates numerous cellular processes through the formation of holoenzymes containing distinct regulatory B-subunits. However, the determinants of differential substrate dephosphorylation by PP2A are poorly understood. Here, we develop a specific genetically encoded inhibitor of PP2A-B56 and perform global phosphoproteomic studies to identify hundreds of regulated phosphorylation sites. We show that PP2A-B56 substrate specificity is controlled by affinity and position of B56 binding motifs and that PP2A active site preference is determined by the B-subunit. These insights uncover PP2A-B56 as a novel negative regulator of ADAM17 mediated growth factor signalling and tumor development. Collectively our work identifies basic principles of PP2A-B56 specificity with broad implications for understanding signalling in eukaryotes.

The INO80 complex removes H2A.Z to promote presynaptic filament formation during homologous recombination

Project description:INO80 is an evolutionary conserved nucleosome remodelling complex that acts in transcription, replication and genome stability. It is required for resistance against genotoxic agents and involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by homologous recombination (HR). However, causes underlying the HR defect of INO80-C mutant cells have been controversially discussed. We here unite previous findings using a high-resolution system to study HR in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We find that INO80-C has at least two distinct functions during HR, which promote DNA end resection and presynaptic filament formation, respectively. Importantly, specifically the second function is linked to the histone variant H2A.Z. In the absence of H2A.Z, presynaptic filament formation and HR are restored in INO80-C-deficient mutants, suggesting that presynaptic filament formation is the crucial INO80-C function during HR.

SAMHD1 deacetylation by SIRT1 promotes DNA end resection by facilitating DNA binding at double-strand breaks

Project description:Sterile alpha motif and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) has a dNTPase-independent function in promoting DNA end resection to facilitate DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR); however, it is not known if upstream signaling events govern this activity. Here, we show that SAMHD1 is deacetylated by the SIRT1 sirtuin deacetylase, facilitating its binding with ssDNA at DSBs, to promote DNA end resection and HR. SIRT1 complexes with and deacetylates SAMHD1 at conserved lysine 354 (K354) specifically in response to DSBs. K354 deacetylation by SIRT1 promotes DNA end resection and HR but not SAMHD1 tetramerization or dNTPase activity. Mechanistically, K354 deacetylation by SIRT1 promotes SAMHD1 recruitment to DSBs and binding to ssDNA at DSBs, which in turn facilitates CtIP ssDNA binding, leading to promotion of genome integrity. Our findings define a mechanism governing the dNTPase-independent resection function of SAMHD1 by SIRT1 deacetylation in promoting HR and genome stability.

Mps1 regulates kinetochore-microtubule attachment stability via the Ska complex to ensure error-free chromosome segregation

Project description:Spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) regulators such as the Mps1 kinase not only delay anaphase onset, but also correct improper chromosome-spindle linkages that would otherwise lead to missegregation and aneuploidy. However, the substrates and mechanisms involved in this pathway of error correction remain poorly understood. Using a chemically tuned kinetochore-targeting assay, we show that Mps1 destabilizes microtubule attachments (K-fibers) epistatically to Aurora B, the other major error-correcting kinase. Through chemical genetics and quantitative proteomics, we identify both known and novel sites of Mps1- regulated phosphorylation at the outer kinetochore. Modification of these substrates was sensitive to microtubule tension and counterbalanced by the PP2A-B56 phosphatase, a positive regulator of chromosome-spindle interactions. Consistently, Mps1 inhibition rescued K-fiber stability after depleting PP2A-B56. We also identify the hinge region of the W-shaped Ska complex as a key effector of Mps1 at the kinetochore-microtubule interface, as mutations that mimic constitutive phosphorylation strongly destabilized K-fibers in vivo and inhibited the Ska complex’s conversion from lattice diffusion to end-coupled microtubule binding in vitro. Together these results provide new insights into how Mps1 modulates the microtubule-binding properties of the kinetochore to promote the selective stabilization of bipolar attachments and error-free chromosome segregation.

CTCF cooperates with CtIP to drive homologous recombination repair of double-strand breaks

Project description:The pleiotropic CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) plays a role in homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, the precise mechanistic role of CTCF in HR remains largely unclear. Here, we show that CTCF engages in DNA end resection, which is the initial, crucial step in HR, through its interactions with MRE11 and CtIP. Depletion of CTCF profoundly impairs HR and attenuates CtIP recruitment at DSBs. CTCF physically interacts with MRE11 and CtIP and promotes CtIP recruitment to sites of DNA damage. Subsequently, CTCF facilitates DNA end resection to allow HR, in conjunction with MRE11-CtIP. Notably, the zinc finger domain of CTCF binds to both MRE11 and CtIP and enables proficient CtIP recruitment, DNA end resection, and HR. The N-terminus of CTCF is able to bind to only MRE11 and its C-terminus is incapable of binding to MRE11 and CtIP, thereby resulting in compromised CtIP recruitment, DSB resection, and HR. Overall, this suggests an important function of CTCF in DNA end resection through the recruitment of CtIP at DSBs. Collectively, our findings identify a critical role of CTCF at the first control point in selecting the HR repair pathway

CDK12 Regulates DNA Repair Genes by Suppressing Intronic Polyadenylation

Project description:Mutations that attenuate DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) promote tumorigenesis and sensitize cells to chemotherapeutic agents that cause replication fork collapse, a phenotype known as “BRCAness.” BRCAness tumors arise from loss-of-function mutations in 22 genes. Of these genes, all but one (Cdk12) directly function in the HR repair pathway. Cdk12 phosphorylates Serine 2 of the RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) C-terminal domain (CTD) heptapeptide repeat, a modification that regulates transcription elongation, splicing, and cleavage/polyadenylation. Genome-wide expression studies suggest that Cdk12 depletion abrogates the expression of several HR genes relatively specifically, blunting HR repair. This observation suggests that Cdk12 mutational status may predict tumor sensitivity to targeted treatments against BRCAness, such as Parp 1 inhibitors, and that small-molecule inhibitors of Cdk12 may induce sensitization of otherwise HR-competent tumors to these treatments. Despite this growing clinical interest, the mechanism behind the apparent specificity of Cdk12 in regulating HR genes remains unknown. Here we find that Cdk12 globally suppresses intronic polyadenylation events, enabling the production of full-length gene products. Many HR genes harbor significantly more intronic polyadenylation sites compared to all expressed genes, and the cumulative effect of these sites accounts for the increased sensitivity of HR gene expression to Cdk12 loss. Finally, we find evidence that Cdk12 loss-of-function mutations cause increased intronic polyadenylation within HR genes in human tumors, suggesting that this mechanism is conserved. This work clarifies the biological function of CDK12 and underscores its potential both as a chemotherapeutic target and as a tumor biomarker.

Dpb11 Immuno-Precipitation Mass Spectrometry (IPMS) Data Related to Mec1/ATR Signaling Upon Hyper-Resection

Project description:The Mec1/ATR kinase is crucial for genome maintenance, although the mechanisms by which it controls DNA repair pathways remain elusive. Here we uncovered a role for Mec1/ATR in controlling homologous recombination (HR) factors in response to hyper-resection of DNA ends. Cells lacking RAD9, a checkpoint activator and an inhibitor of resection, exhibit Mec1-dependent hyper-phosphorylation of proteins associated with single strand DNA transactions, including the ssDNA binding protein Rfa2, the translocase/ubiquitin ligase Uls1 and the HR-regulatory Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 (STR) complex. Extensive Mec1-dependent phosphorylation of the STR complex, mostly on the Sgs1 helicase subunit, promotes an interaction between STR and the DNA repair scaffolding protein Dpb11. Fusion of Sgs1 to phosphopeptide-binding domains of Dpb11 strongly impairs HR-mediated repair, supporting a model whereby Mec1 promotes recruitment of STR to the 9-1-1 clamp via Dpb11 to regulate recombinogenic processes.
