Project description:A key event during eukaryotic replication termination is the removal of the CMG helicase from chromatin. CMG unloading involves ubiquitylation of its MCM7 subunit and the action of the p97 ATPase. Using a proteomic screen in Xenopus egg extracts, we identified factors that are retained on chromatin when CMG unloading is blocked and identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL2LRR1 and several other potential regulators of termination including a specific p97 complex. We show that CRL2LRR1 recruitment coincides with MCM7 ubiquitylation and occurs only when replisomes converge. In the absence of CRL2LRR1, MCM7 is not ubiquitylated, CMG unloading is inhibited, and many replisome components including DNA pol are retained on DNA. Our data identify CRL2LRR1 as a master regulator of replisome disassembly during vertebrate DNA replication termination.

Project description:Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is an important protein kinase for checkpoint recovery and adaptation in response to DNA damage and replication stress. However, although Plk1 is present in S phase, little is known about its localization and function during unperturbed DNA replication. Using Xenopus laevis egg extracts, mimicking early embryonic replication, we developed a Plk1 chromatin immunoprecipitation approach followed by a proteomic shotgun analysis (XChIP-MS) to identify Plk1 interactions with chromatin and with specific nuclear proteins. We purified and cross-linked nuclei after pre-RC assembly before the start of DNA replication, or later during DNA replication. The DNA was fractionated by sonication and immunoprecipited using anti Plk1 or control antibodies then proteins were analyzed by nanoLC/MS/MS.

Project description:By covalently linking Watson and Crick strands, DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are highly toxic lesions that block DNA replication and threaten genome integrity. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway orchestrates ICL repair during DNA replication, with ubiquitylated FANCI-FANCD2 (ID2) marking the activation step that triggers incisions on one DNA strand to unhook the ICL. ICL unhooking generates a two-ended double-strand break (DSB) on one of the daughter molecules, while leaving a gap comprising the ICL-adduct on the other. Restoration of the adducted molecule by DNA polymerase zeta-mediated translesion synthesis (TLS) creates a template required for repair of the DSB via homologous recombination (HR), but how these processes are coordinated to ensure faithful ICL repair is not known. Here, we uncover a crucial role for SCAI in promoting ICL repair downstream of ID2 activation. Using Xenopus egg extracts and human cells, we show that SCAI forms a complex with DNA polymerase zeta and localizes to ICLs during DNA replication. SCAI-deficient cells are exquisitely sensitive to ICL-inducing drugs and display principal hallmarks of FA gene inactivation, including broken and radial chromosome accumulation. In the absence of SCAI, DSB intermediates are preferentially re-ligated by illegitimate DNA polymerase theta-dependent microhomology-mediated end-joining (MMEJ). Consistently, the hypersensitivity of SCAI-deficient cells to ICLs can be reverted by suppressing FA pathway activation. Our work establishes SCAI as a critical mediator of ICL resolution via the FA pathway, acting at the interphase of the TLS and HR steps to prevent erroneous repair and chromosomal instability.

Project description:DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) block replication fork progression by inhibiting DNA strand separation. Repair of ICLs requires sequential incisions, translesion DNA synthesis, and homologous recombination, but the full set of factors involved in these transactions remains unknown. Here we established CHROmatin MASS spectrometry (CHROMASS) to study protein recruitment dynamics during perturbed DNA replication in Xenopus egg extracts. Using CHROMASS, we systematically monitored protein assembly and disassembly at ICL-containing chromatin. Among numerous prospective new DNA repair factors we identified SLF1 and SLF2, which form a complex with RAD18 and together define a new pathway that suppresses genome instability by recruiting the SMC5/6 cohesion complex to DNA lesions. Our study provides the first global analysis of an entire DNA repair pathway and reveals the mechanism of SMC5/6 relocalization to damaged DNA in vertebrate cells.

Project description:How the replicative Mcm2-7 helicase is activated during replication origin firing remains largely unknown. Our biochemical and structural studies reveal that the helicase activator GINS interacts with TopBP1 using two separate binding surfaces. One involves a stretch of highly conserved amino acids in the TopBP1-GINI domain. The other surface is located in TopBP1-BRCT4. The two surfaces bind to opposite ends of the A domain of the GINS subunit Psf1, and their cooperation is required for a biochemically stable TopBP1-GINS interaction. The GINI and BRCT4 domains also cooperate during replication origin firing, as immune-replacement experiments in Xenopus egg extract using different GINI and BRCT4 mutations suggest. The TopBP1-GINS interaction is incompatible with simultaneous binding of DNA polymerase epsilon to GINS when bound to Mcm2-7-Cdc45. Our TopBP1-GINS model predicts the coordination of three molecular processes, DNA polymerase epsilon arrival, TopBP1 ejection and GINS integration into Mcm2-7-Cdc45.

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) obstruct essential DNA transactions, posing a serious threat to genome stability and functionality. DPCs are proteolytically processed in a ubiquitin- and DNA replication-dependent manner by SPRTN or the proteasome but can also be resolved via targeted SUMOylation. However, the mechanistic basis of SUMO-mediated DPC resolution and its interplay with replication-coupled DPC repair pathways remain unknown. Here, we show that the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase RNF4 defines a major pathway for ubiquitylation and proteasomal clearance of SUMOylated DPCs in a DNA replication-independent manner. In addition, we provide evidence that a subset of DPCs can be SUMOylated and processed via transcription, independently of RNF4. SUMO modification of DPCs is mediated by PIAS4 and neither stimulates nor inhibits their rapid DNA replication-dependent proteolysis. Instead, SUMOylation provides a critical salvage mechanism to remove DPCs formed or persisting after replication, as we demonstrate that DPCs on duplex DNA do not activate interphase DNA damage checkpoints. Consequently, in the absence of the SUMO-RNF4 pathway cells can enter mitosis with a high load of unresolved DPCs, leading to defective chromosome segregation and cell death. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insights into SUMO-driven pathways underlying replication-independent DPC resolution and highlight their critical importance in maintaining chromosome stability and cellular fitness.

Project description:Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is an important protein kinase for checkpoint recovery and adaptation in response to DNA damage and replication stress. However, although Plk1 is present in S phase, little is known about its localization and function during unperturbed DNA replication. Here used recombinant XRif1 C-terminal domain and recombinant XPlk1 in an in vitro phosphorylation assay followed by LC/MS/MS to identify which residues are phosphorylated by Plk1 on Rif1 CTD.

Project description:Lesions on DNA can uncouple DNA synthesis from helicase unwinding, generating stretches of unreplicated single stranded DNA (ssDNA) behind the replication fork. These ssDNA gaps need to be filled in to complete DNA duplication and thereby avoid the generation of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs), a major source of genomic instability. Gap filling repair involves either translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) or template switching (TS) to bypass the lesion. At the heart of these processes, ubiquitylated PCNA recruits many proteins that dictate pathway choice, but the enzymes regulating PCNA ubiquitylation in vertebrates remain poorly defined. Here we report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase RFWD3 promotes non-specific ubiquitylation of proteins on ssDNA, to enhance protein accumulation and stimulate gap filling repair. The absence of RFWD3 leads to a profound defect in recruitment of key repair and signaling factors to damaged chromatin, including ubiquitin and proteins known to ubiquitylate and interact with ubiquitylated PCNA. As a result, PCNA ubiquitylation is severely inhibited without RFWD3, and TLS across different DNA lesions drastically impaired. We propose that RFWD3 is an essential coordinator of the response to ssDNA gaps, where it triggers wide spread ubiquitylation to drive recruitment of effectors of PCNA ubiquitylation and DNA damage bypass.

Project description:The ATR kinase is a master regulator of cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress that is activated by a complex mechanism involving its binding partner ATRIP, RPA-coated ssDNA, the 9-1-1 complex and TopBP1. Here, we discovered a new ATR activation mechanism in human cells, mediated by the uncharacterized protein ETAA1 (Ewing’s tumor-associated antigen 1). From a comprehensive proteomic survey of protein recruitment to DNA double-strand break-modified chromatin, we identified ETAA1 as a factor that accumulates at DNA damage sites via an RPA-binding motif, and which has an important role in promoting cell survival and preventing replication fork breakage after genotoxic insults. Mechanistically, we show that ETAA1 harbors a conserved domain that potently and directly stimulates ATR kinase activity independent of TopBP1 and 9-1-1, and which is essential for the function of ETAA1 in the DNA damage response. Consistently, ablation of ETAA1 shows profound synthetic lethality with TopBP1 knockdown, resulting from massive replication fork collapse and abrogation of ATR-dependent signaling. Finally, we show that ETAA1 levels in cancer cell lines inversely correlate with their dependency on TopBP1 for ATR activation, and that overexpression of ETAA1 partially restores ATR-dependent signaling after loss of TopBP1. Together, these findings establish a new mechanism of ATR activation in human cells that operates in parallel with, but independent of, the canonical TopBP1-mediated pathway.

Project description:Stable inheritance of DNA methylation is critical for maintaining the differentiated phenotypes in multicellular organisms. However, the molecular basis ensuring high fidelity of maintenance DNA methylation is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that two distinct modes of DNMT1 recruitment, one is DNA replication-coupled and the other is uncoupled mechanism, regulate the stable inheritance of DNA methylation. PCNA-associated factor 15 (PAF15) represents a primary target of UHRF1 and undergoes dual mono-ubiquitylation (PAF15Ub2) on chromatin. PAF15Ub2 specifically interacts with DNMT1 and controls the recruitment of DNMT1 in a DNA replication-coupled manner. Thus, loss of PAF15Ub2 results in impaired DNA methylation at sites replicating during early S phase. In contrast, outside of S phase or when PAF15 ubiquitylation is perturbed, UHRF1 ubiquitylates histone H3 to promote DNMT1 recruitment. Together, we identify replication-coupled and uncoupled mechanisms of maintenance DNA methylation, both of which collaboratively ensure the stable DNA methylation.
