Project description:In non-homologous end joining repair of DNA double strand breaks, DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and Ku70/80 binds the free DNA ends forming the holoenzyme DNA-PK. DNA-PK synapses across the break to tether the broken ends in the initial long range synaptic complex. We generated an integrative structural model of DNA-PK synapsis at a precision of 13.5Å with crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) restraints. While our hydrogen deuterium exchange (HX) analysis revealed an allosteric axis in DNA-PK connecting DNA binding (including the plug domain) to the kinase domain. Our model presents a symmetrical synapsis primarily through head to head interactions and protection of the DNA by previously uncharacterized a plug domain. The offset of the DNA in our model allows access to downstream processing enzymes, while the combination of DNA binding and kinase loading creates a tensed state that could have roles in the re-arrangement/dissociation of DNA-PKcs as the repair process progresses.

Project description:Chromatin relaxation is a prerequisite step that allows the DNA repair machinery to access double-strand breaks (DSBs), and local histones around the DNA breaks suffer from prompt acetylation changes. However, an intriguing question remains as to where the large demands of acetyl-CoA is precisely produced promptly. Here, we report that pyruvate dehydrogenase 1α (PDHE1α) catalyzes pyruvate metabolism to provide acetyl-CoA promptly in response to DNA damage. PDHE1α was quickly recruited to chromatin in a PARylation-dependent manner, which further drove acetyl-CoA generation to support local chromatin acetylation around the DSB regions. In turn, this process increased the formation of relaxed chromatin to benefit repair factor loading, thus promoting DSB repair to ultimately maintain genome stability and contribute to the resistance of cancer cells to DNA-damaging treatments in vitro and in vivo. In accordance with this, blocking PARylation-based PDHE1α chromatin recruitment markedly attenuated chromatin relaxation and the DSB repair efficiency, resulting in genome instability and restoration of radiosensitivity. Collectively, these findings reveal an undescribed mechanism that underlies site-directed acetyl-CoA generation involving chromatin-associated PDHE1α and its instrumental function in DNA repair and regulating local chromatin acetylation around DSB sites.

Project description:We investigated the dynamics of protein kinase DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) through hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. Over 1100 peptides could be monitored throughout the kinetics experiment, showing the utility of our nanospray HX-MS configuration for ultra-large proteins such as DNA-PKcs. To match the structurally unassigned helices to sequence from the large disordered regions of DNA-PKcs (a.a 2577-2773), we used integrative modelling. Two sequence assignments were possible. The cluster of models with the helix assignment towards the N-terminal side was favored by reduced kinetics of exchange as measured by HX-MS.

Project description:Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) regulates DNA topology to ensure efficient DNA replication and transcription. TOP1 is also a major driver of endogenous genome instability, particularly when its catalytic intermediate - a covalent TOP1-DNA adduct known as a TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) - is stabilised. TOP1ccs are highly cytotoxic and a failure to resolve them underlies the pathology of neurological disorders but is also exploited in cancer therapy where TOP1ccs are the target of widely used frontline anti-cancer drugs. A critical enzyme for TOP1cc resolution is the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase, TDP1, which hydrolyses the bond that links a tyrosine in the active site of TOP1 to a 3’ phosphate group on a single-stranded (ss)DNA break. However, TDP1 can only process small peptide fragments from ssDNA ends, raising the question of how the ~90 kDa TOP1 protein is processed upstream of TDP1. We find that TEX264 fulfils this role by forming a complex with the p97 ATPase and the SPRTN metalloprotease. We show that TEX264 recognises both unmodified and SUMO1-modifed TOP1 and initiates TOP1cc repair by recruiting p97 and SPRTN. TEX264 localises to the nuclear periphery, associates with DNA replication forks, and counteracts TOP1ccs during DNA replication. Altogether, our study elucidates the existence of a specialised repair complex required for upstream proteolysis of TOP1ccs and their subsequent resolution.

Project description:Translation of damaged mRNA can lead to ribosome stalling, thereby producing incomplete proteins toxic to the cell. The mechanism of ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) disassembles stalled ribosomes through the actions of the ASC-1 complex (ASCC). Here, we show that some reagents that chemically damage RNA, such as ultraviolet light (UV), cause ribosome stalling, which leads to accumulation of the ASC-1 complex (ASCC) on stalled ribosomes and stable interaction of the ASCC3 helicase with RNA. In contrast, the ASCC was not similarly affected by emetine or anisomycin-induced ribosome stalling. Our work identified two different types of stalled ribosome. Ribosomes arrested by emetine or anisomycin are transient as they are resolved by the ASCC. Whereas the ASCC fails to split some stalled ribosomes, such as those induced by UV, resulting in long-lived stalled ribosome complexes. We show that ribosome stalling activates the G1/S and G2/M cell cycle checkpoints with long-lived stalled ribosomes causing prolonged checkpoint activation. Thus, the cell adjusts this adaptive survival response to match the nature of the stalled ribosome.

Project description:Uncovering the molecular architecture of the core FADD:Caspase-8 complex and how this is altered by regulatory partners, such as the cell death inhibitor c-FLIP, is essential to understand co-ordination of cell fate. Here, using electron microscopy, we visualize for the first time fulllength procaspase-8 in a complex with FADD. Our structural analysis reveals how the FADDnucleated tandem death effector domain (tDED) helical filament is required to correctly orientate procaspase-8 catalytic domains, enabling activation via anti-parallel dimerization.

Project description:Affinity-purification mass-spectrometry (AP-MS) is an established technique for identifying protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The basic technology involves immobilizing a high-specificity ligand to a solid phase support (e.g., an agarose or magnetic bead) to pull down protein(s) of interest from cell lysates. Although these supports are engineered to minimize interactions with background protein, the conventional method recovers mostly non-specific binders. The law of mass action for dilute solutions has taught us to use an excess of beads to capture all target proteins, especially weakly interacting ones. However, modern microbead technology presents a binding environment that is much different from dilute solution. We describe a fluidic platform that captures and processes ultralow nanoliter quantities of magnetic particles, simultaneously increasing the efficiency of PPI detection and strongly suppressing non-specific binding. We demonstrate the concept with synthetic mixtures of tagged protein and illustrate performance with a variety of AP-MS experiment types. These include a BioID experiment targeting lamin-A interactors from HeLa cells, and pulldowns using GFP-tagged proteins associated with a double-strand DNA repair mechanism. We show that efficient extraction requires saturation of the solid-phase support and that <10 nL of beads is sufficient to generate comprehensive protein interaction maps.
