Project description:We applied our ribonucleotide mapping technique HydEn-seq to study DNA polymerase usage during break-induced replication (BIR) in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Break-induced replication (BIR) is a pathway of homology-directed repair that repairs one-ended DNA breaks, such as those formed at broken replication forks or uncapped telomeres. In contrast to conventional S phase DNA synthesis, BIR proceeds by a migrating D-loop and results in conservative synthesis of the nascent strands. DNA polymerase delta (Pol δ) initiates BIR; however, it is not known whether synthesis of the invading strand switches to a different polymerase or how the complementary strand is synthesized. By using alleles of the replicative DNA polymerases that are permissive for ribonucleotide incorporation, thus generating a signature of their action in the genome that can be identified by hydrolytic end sequencing, we show that Pol δ replicates both the invading and the complementary strand during BIR. In support of this conclusion, we show that depletion of Pol δ from cells reduces BIR, whereas depletion of Pol ε has no effect.

Project description:To maintain genetic stability, DNA must be replicated only once per cell cycle, and replication must be completed even when individual replication forks are inactivated. Because fork inactivation is common, passive convergence of an adjacent fork is insufficient to rescue all inactive forks. Thus, eukaryotic cells have evolved homologous recombination-dependent mechanisms to restart persistent inactive forks. Completing DNA synthesis via homologous recombination-restarted replication (HoRReR) ensures cell survival, but at a cost. One such cost is increased mutagenesis because HoRReR is more error prone than canonical replication. This increased error rate implies the HoRReR mechanism is distinct from that of a canonical fork. Here we demonstrate, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, that a DNA sequence duplicated by HoRReR during S phase is replicated semiconservatively, but both the leading and lagging strands are synthesized by DNA polymerase δ.

Project description:Chromatin replication is intricately intertwined with DNA replication, and the recycling of parental histones is essential for epigenetic inheritance. The transfer of parental histones to both the DNA replication leading and lagging strands involves two distinct pathways: the leading strand utilizes DNA polymerase ε subunits Dpb3/Dpb4, while the lagging strand is facilitated by the MCM helicase subunit Mcm2. However, the process by which Mcm2, moving along the leading strand, facilitates the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand remains unclear. Our study reveals that the deletion of Pol32, a non-essential subunit of major lagging-strand DNA polymerase δ, results in a predominant transfer of parental histone H3-H4 to the replication leading strand. Biochemical analyses further demonstrate that Pol32 can bind histone H3-H4 both in vivo and in vitro. The interaction of Pol32 with parental histone H3-H4 is disrupted by the mutation of Mcm2's histone H3-H4 binding domain. In conclusion, our findings identify the DNA polymerase delta subunit Pol32 as a novel key histone chaperone downstream of Mcm2, mediating the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Project description:Genetic studies with S. cerevisiae Polδ (pol3-L612M) and Polε (pol2-M644G) mutant alleles, each of which display a higher rate for the generation of a specific mismatch, have led to the conclusion that Polε is the primary leading strand replicase and that Polδ is restricted to replicating the lagging strand template. Contrary to this widely accepted view, here we show that Polδ plays a major role in the replication of both DNA strands, and that the paucity of pol3-L612M-generated errors on the leading strand results from their more proficient removal. Thus, the apparent lack of Polδ contribution to leading strand replication is due to differential mismatch removal rather than differential mismatch generation. Altogether, our genetic studies with Pol3 and Pol2 mutator alleles support the conclusion that Polδ, and not Polε, is the major DNA polymerase for carrying out both leading and lagging DNA synthesis.

Project description:How parental histones, the carriers of epigenetic modifications, are deposited onto replicating DNA remains poorly understood. Here, we develop the eSPAN method (enrichment and sequencing of protein associated nascent DNA) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, which detects the distribution of histones with distinct modifications on leading and lagging strands in a relatively small number of cells. We show that DNA polymerase α (Pol α), which synthesizes primers used for synthesis of both leading and lagging strands, binds histone H3-H4 preferentially. The Pol α mutant defective in histone binding in vitro impairs the transfer of parental H3-H4 to lagging strand in both yeast and mouse ES cells. Finally, dysregulation of both coding genes and non-coding endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is detected in mutant ES cells defective in parental histone transfer. Together, we report an efficient eSPAN method for analysis of DNA replication coupled processes in mouse ES cells and reveal the mechanism of Pol α in parental histone transfer.

Project description:Recent studies have implicated DNA polymerases θ (Pol θ) and β (Pol β) as mediators of alternative nonhomologous end-joining (Alt-NHEJ) events, including chromosomal translocations. Here we identify subunits of the replicative DNA polymerase δ (Pol δ) as promoters of Alt-NHEJ that results in more extensive intrachromosomal mutations at a single double-strand break (DSB) and more frequent translocations between two DSBs. Depletion of the Pol δ accessory subunit POLD2 destabilizes the complex, resulting in degradation of both POLD1 and POLD3 in human cells. POLD2 depletion markedly reduces the frequency of translocations with sequence modifications but does not affect the frequency of translocations with exact joins. Using separation-of-function mutants, we show that both the DNA synthesis and exonuclease activities of the POLD1 subunit contribute to translocations. As described in yeast and unlike Pol θ, Pol δ also promotes homology-directed repair. Codepletion of POLD2 with 53BP1 nearly eliminates translocations. POLD1 and POLD2 each colocalize with phosphorylated H2AX at ionizing radiation-induced DSBs but not with 53BP1. Codepletion of POLD2 with either ligase 3 (LIG3) or ligase 4 (LIG4) does not further reduce translocation frequency compared to POLD2 depletion alone. Together, these data support a model in which Pol δ promotes Alt-NHEJ in human cells at DSBs, including translocations.

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, inheritable changes in gene expression in response to environmental and developmental stimuli is associated with changes in histone modifications and relies on the passage of these changes into daughter cells during cell division, a process that remains elusive. Here, we show that parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers, the primary carrier of epigenetic modifications, are assembled into nucleosomes onto both replicating leading and lagging strands, with a preference for lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This asymmetric distribution of parental (H3-H4)2 is exacerbated in cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4, two subunits of DNA polymerase Pol ε. Dpb3-Dpb4 binds (H3-H4)2 and participates in the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers onto leading strands of DNA replication forks. Cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4 exhibits defects in epigenetic inheritance. These results reveal a previously undocumented mechanism of histone segregation and a direct role for Pol ε in this poorly understood process.
