Project description:Structurally complex genomic regions, such as centromeres, are inherently difficult to duplicate. The mechanism that underlies centromere inheritance is not well understood, and one of the key questions relates to the reassembly of centromeric chromatin following DNA replication. Here we define the SNF2 ATPase ERCC6L2 as a key regulator of this process. ERCC6L2 accumulates at centromeres and promotes efficient deposition of core centromeric factors. Our genomic analyses show that ERCC6L2 deficiency erodes centromeric chromatin, leading to unrestrained replication of centromeric DNA. We also establish that, beyond centromeres, ERCC6L2 facilitates replication at genomic repeats and non-canonical DNA structures. Notably, ERCC6L2 interacts with the major DNA replication factor PCNA through an atypical peptide, presented here as a co-crystal structure. Finally, we examine ERCC6L2 activities at DNA breaks, and show that it acts to restrict end resection independently of the 53BP1-REV7-Shieldin complex. Our observations allow us to propose a mechanistic model of ERCC6L2 activity, which reconciles its seemingly distinct functions in DNA repair and DNA replication. Together, these findings provide a new molecular context for studies linking ERCC6L2 to human disease.

Project description:Safeguarding replication fork stability in transcriptionally active regions, which require high DNA replication accuracy, is crucial for precise DNA replication and prevention of mutations. However, how cells ensure the stability of replication forks in these regions remains a critical challenge. Here, we discovered the pervasive existence of replication forks-associated RNA-DNA hybrids (RF-RDs) within transcriptionally active regions, where they act as a protective barrier against DNA2-mediated nascent DNA degradation and prevent replication fork collapse upon replication stress. Subsequently, the RNA helicase DDX39A dismantles RF-RDs, facilitating proper DNA2-mediated DNA resection and replication fork restart. Excessive dissolution of RF-RDs causes replication fork collapse and genomic instability, while insufficient dissolution of RF-RDs under replication stress increases fork stability, resulting in chemoresistance that can be reversed by eliminating RF-RDs. In summary, we elucidated the prevalence of RF-RDs at replication forks within transcriptionally active regions, revealed their pivotal role in safeguarding replication fork stability, and proposed that targeting RF-RDs holds promise for augmenting chemotherapeutic efficacy.
