TFAM Binds to and Promotes Mutagenic Transcriptional Bypass of O4-Alkylthymidine Lesions

ABSTRACT: O2- and O4-alkylated thymidine lesions are known to be poorly repaired and persist in mammalian tissues. To understand how mammalian cells sense the presence and regulate the repair of these lesions, we employed a stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based quantitative proteomic method to discover novel O2- and O4-n-butylthymidine (O2- and O4-nBudT)-binding proteins. We were able to identify 21 and 74 candidate DNA damage recognition proteins for O2-nBudT- and O4-nBudT-bearing DNA probes, respectively. Among these proteins, DDB1 and DDB2 selectively bind to O2-nBudT-containing DNA, whereas three HMG-box-containing proteins (i.e. HMGB1, HMGB2 and TFAM) exhibit preferential binding to O4-nBudT-bearing DNA. We further confirmed, by employing electrophoretic mobility shift assay, that TFAM can bind selectively and directly with O4-alkyldT-harboring DNA, and the binding capacity depends mainly on the HMG box-A domain of TFAM. We also found that TFAM promotes transcriptional mutagenesis of O4-alkyldT lesions in vitro and in human cells. Together, we explored, for the first time, the interactomes of O-alkyldT lesions. Our study also expands the functions of TFAM by revealing its capability in binding to O4-alkyldT-bearing DNA, demonstrating the role of HMG-box A domain in this molecular recognition, and uncovering its modulation of transcriptional mutagenesis of these lesions in human cells.

O2- and O4-alkylated thymidine lesions are known to be poorly repaired and persist in mammalian tissues. To understand how mammalian cells sense the presence and regulate the repair of these lesions, we employed a quantitative proteomic method to discover regioisomeric O2- and O4-n-butylthymidine (O2- and O4-nBudT)-binding proteins. We were able to identify 21 and 74 candidat ...[more]

Project description:In pregnancies involving preeclampsia (PE), there is evidence that the fetal-placental unit is under oxidative stress. Here we examined primary cell lines generated from umbilical cords (UC) delivered by mothers who had either a normal pregnancy or experienced early onset PE to determine whether the two had distinguishable phenotypes. While all UC provided outgrowths when established in 4 % O2, success was less assured for PE cords under ambient (20 % O2) conditions (P < 0.05). Moreover, proliferation rates of established PE lines, although similar to controls in 4 % O2, were significantly lower in 20 % O2. PE lines grown in 4 % O2 were also more susceptible to the pro-oxidant diethylmaleate than control lines, and unlike controls, were not protected by glutathione. Transcriptome profiling revealed only a few differentially regulated genes between PE lines and controls in 4 % O2 conditions, but confirmed the more severely stressed phenotype of the PE lines under 20 % O2. We conclude that the primary UC cell lines generated from PE births maintain a susceptibility to oxidative stress that is stable over many cell divisions, but whether the basis of this vulnerability is genetic or epigenetic remains unclear. RNA was isolated from early passages (< p5) of UC fibroblast lines (15 PE and 9 CTL lines, grown in T25 flasks) when they reached ~90% confluency in 4 % O2 conditions. In order to collect RNA from cells under 20 % O2, cell lines at either p 4, 5, or 6 were switched from 4 % O2 conditions to 20 % O2 conditions when they were approximately 20 % confluent. When they reached ~90% confluency (generally 2 days in 4 % O2 and 3-4 days in 20 % O2 conditions), medium was removed and RNA STAT60 (I ml; Tel-Test, Friendswood, TX) was immediately added to each T25 flask and RNA extracted by following the manufacturer’s instructions. The samples of RNA were submitted to University Texas Southwestern Medical Center Microarray Core Facility (https://microarray.swmed.edu/) and microarray analysis performed with Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 expression BeadChips. Raw intensity data were background subtracted by using BeadStudio software and analyzed further by GeneSpring 12.6 software (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara CA), according to the advanced workflow protocol: percentile shift and filter by flags (detected).
