Project description:Currently, the identification of G4 quadruplexes in vivo depends on a published and widely used G4-ChIP protocol (PMID: 29470465) that uses the anti-G4 antibody to captures the quadruplexes like regular chromatin. This method is challenged by some false positives and false negatives in G4-quadruplex capture. We have developed an antibody capture G4-ChIP (AbC G4-ChIP) method to overcome these challenges. The AbC G4-ChIP achieves (i) minimized in vitro artifacts during the incubation steps, and (ii) capture of G4-quadruplexes which are not protein-bound. We have applied the AbC G4-ChIP to study the regulatory effect of a CGG-repeat binding protein CGGBP1 on G4-quadruplex formation. The AbC G4-ChIP identifies inter-strand G/C-skew as a sequence property associated with CGGBP1-regulated G4-quadruplexes.

Project description:G4 are noncanonical secondary structures consist in stacked tetrads of Hoogsteen hydrogen-bonded guanines bases. An essential feature of G-quadruplexes is their intrinsic polymorphic nature. Indeed, depending on the length and the composition of the sequence, as well as the environmental conditions (including the nature and concentration of metal cations, and local molecular crowding), a G-quadruplex-forming sequence can adopt different topologies in which the strands are in parallel or antiparallel conformations, with the co-existence of different types of loops (lateral, diagonal or propeller) with variable lengths. The impact of G4 on cellular metabolism is associated with protein or enzymatic factors that promote, inhibits or resolve these structures. Thus, the major impact of G4 on the human cell metabolism is associated with genetic defects affecting proteins that counteract their formation. Although a large number of proteins able to bind and/or "to resolve" G-quadruplex structures have been identified in vitro, less is known about their mode of interaction with G-quadruplex, their specificity versus the topology and finally their specificity for G4 structures relatively to G-rich single-stranded sequences. In this study we aimed to identify and characterize human proteins interacting with locked G4 structures.

Project description:The identification of DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) in the genome is important to study different biological processes in which these structures play a role, such as genome rearrangement, transcriptional regulation and DNA replication. G4-seq allowed the high-throughput experimental mapping of G-quadruplexes in the human genome. We developed here an improved version of this method, named G4-seq2, which we applied to generate G-quadruplexes genomic maps for 12 species, selected as important models organism to study development or as pathogens of clinical relevance. Those multi-species maps, publicly available for the community, will allow to further understand the design principle of G-quadruplex formation in genomic context, to study G-quadruplex biology in those model organisms, to predict ligand targeting for therapeutic usage and to design G-quadruplex computational predictors based on genome-wide experimental measurements.

Project description:Nucleic acids can fold into G-quadruplex (G4) structures that can fine tune biological processes. Proteins are required to recognize G4 structures and coordinate their function. We identify Zuo1 as a novel G4-binding protein in a yeast one-hybrid screen. Biochemical and molecular experiments in yeast confirm that Zuo1 specifically binds to G4 structures in vitro and in vivo. In vivo in the absence of Zuo1 less G4 structures form, cell growth slows and cells become UV sensitive. Subsequent experiments reveal that these cellular changes are due to reduced levels of G4 structures. Interestingly, Zuo1 function and binding to G4 structures results in the recruitment of nucleotide excision repair (NER) factors, which has a positive effect on genome stability. Cells lacking functional NER as well as Zuo1 accumulate G4s structures, which become accessible for translesion synthesis. Our results suggest a model in which Zuo1 supports NER function and regulates the choice of the DNA repair pathway near G4 structures.

Project description:G-quadruplex (or G4) structures are non-canonical DNA structures that form in guanine-rich sequences and threaten genome stability when not properly resolved. G4 unwinding occurs during S phase via an unknown mechanism. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we define a three-step G4 unwinding mechanism that acts during DNA replication. First, the replicative helicase (CMG) stalls at a leading strand G4 structure. Second, the DHX36 helicase mediates the bypass of the CMG past the intact G4 structure, which allows approach of the leading strand to the G4. Third, G4 structure unwinding by the FANCJ helicase enables the DNA polymerase to synthesize past the G4 motif. A G4 on the lagging strand template does not stall CMG, but still requires active DNA replication for unwinding. DHX36 and FANCJ have partially redundant roles, conferring robustness to this pathway. Our data reveal a novel genome maintenance pathway that promotes faithful G4 replication thereby avoiding genome instability.

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a type of secondary structure of nucleic acids, the formation of which depends on the π-π stacking of guanine-rich sequences. Herein, we present a readily accessible strategy, based on small molecule pulldown, for direct genomic G4 profiling of HEK 293T cells. A small molecule was rationally designed, containing PDP on one end and biotin on the other, joined by a 24-unit-long hydrophilic PEG linker. G4s isolation from genomic DNA annealed in potassium chloride buffer beforehand, has identified a total of 51446 PQS, which mainly distribute in introns and intergenic regions. Incubating cells with PDP for 3 h to 72 h resulted in the differential expression of a variety of genes, indicating a potential function of G4s in gene regulation.

Project description:G-quadruplex (G4) structure is an alternative conformation of the double helical structure of B-form DNA arisen in guanine-rich sequences . The formation of G4 structures can influence chromatin architecture and many fundamental biology processes, such as DNA replication and gene regulation . We present G4-miner, a genome-wide approach to directly identify G4 structures from ordinary sequencing data. G4-miner inspects sequencing quality in whole genome, seizes unexpected fluctuations in local, and ascribes some of the quality fluctuations to the unstable formation of G4. We identified 736,689 G4 structures within human genome, in which 44.9% of all predicted canonical G4-froming sequences were contained.

Project description:Chromosomal rearrangements are essential events in the pathogenesis of both malignant and nonmalignant disorders, yet the factors affecting their formation are incompletely understood. We developed a zinc finger nuclease translocation reporter (ZITR) and screened for factors that modulate rearrangements in human cells. We identified UBC9 and RAD50 as suppressors and 53BP1, DDB1, and PARP3 as promoters of chromosomal rearrangements across human cell types. We focused on poly(ADP)ribose polymerase 3 (PARP3) as it is dispensable for murine viability and has druggable catalytic activity. We found that PARP3 regulated G quadruplex (G4) DNA in response to DNA damage, which suppressed repair by nonhomologous end-joining and homologous recombination. Chemical stabilization of G4 DNA in PARP3-/- cells led to widespread DNA double-strand breaks and synthetic lethality. We propose a model in which PARP3 suppresses G4 DNA and facilitates DNA repair by multiple pathways.

Project description:DNA structure can regulate genome function. Four-stranded DNA G-quadruplex (G4) structures have been implicated in transcriptional regulation; however, previous studies have not directly addressed the role of an individual G4 within its endogenous cellular context. Using CRISPR to genetically abrogate endogenous G4 structure folding, we directly interrogate the G4 found within the upstream regulatory region of the critical human MYC oncogene. G4 loss leads to suppression of MYC transcription from the P1 promoter that is mediated by the deposition of a de novo nucleosome alongside alterations in RNA polymerase recruitment. We also show that replacement of the endogenous MYC G4 with a different G4 structure from the KRAS oncogene restores G4 folding and MYC transcription. Moreover, we demonstrate that the MYC G4 structure itself, rather than its sequence, recruits transcription factors and histone modifiers. Overall, our work establishes that G4 structures are important features of transcriptional regulation that coordinate recruitment of key chromatin proteins and the transcriptional machinery through interactions with DNA secondary structure, rather than primary sequence.
