  • Phosphate Steering by Flap Endonuclease 1 Promotes 50-flap Specificity and Incision to Prevent Genome Instability
    ARTICLE Received 18 Jan 2017 | Accepted 5 May 2017 | Published 27 Jun 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15855 OPEN Phosphate steering by Flap Endonuclease 1 promotes 50-flap specificity and incision to prevent genome instability Susan E. Tsutakawa1,*, Mark J. Thompson2,*, Andrew S. Arvai3,*, Alexander J. Neil4,*, Steven J. Shaw2, Sana I. Algasaier2, Jane C. Kim4, L. David Finger2, Emma Jardine2, Victoria J.B. Gotham2, Altaf H. Sarker5, Mai Z. Her1, Fahad Rashid6, Samir M. Hamdan6, Sergei M. Mirkin4, Jane A. Grasby2 & John A. Tainer1,7 DNA replication and repair enzyme Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is vital for genome integrity, and FEN1 mutations arise in multiple cancers. FEN1 precisely cleaves single-stranded (ss) 50-flaps one nucleotide into duplex (ds) DNA. Yet, how FEN1 selects for but does not incise the ss 50-flap was enigmatic. Here we combine crystallographic, biochemical and genetic analyses to show that two dsDNA binding sites set the 50polarity and to reveal unexpected control of the DNA phosphodiester backbone by electrostatic interactions. Via ‘phosphate steering’, basic residues energetically steer an inverted ss 50-flap through a gateway over FEN1’s active site and shift dsDNA for catalysis. Mutations of these residues cause an 18,000-fold reduction in catalytic rate in vitro and large-scale trinucleotide (GAA)n repeat expansions in vivo, implying failed phosphate-steering promotes an unanticipated lagging-strand template-switch mechanism during replication. Thus, phosphate steering is an unappreciated FEN1 function that enforces 50-flap specificity and catalysis, preventing genomic instability. 1 Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, USA.

They also recognize the bonds. These enzymes play crucial roles in various DNA replication or recombination intermediates to facilitate repair processes, which involve DNA replication, base the following reaction steps through the cleavage of excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch DNA strands (Table 1). repair, and double strand break repair. In recent years, Nucleases can be regarded as molecular scissors, new nucleases involved in various DNA repair processes which cleave phosphodiester bonds between the sugars have been reported, including the Mus81 : Mms4 (Eme1) and the phosphate moieties of DNA. They contain complex, which functions during the meiotic phase and conserved minimal motifs, which usually consist of the Artemis : DNA-PK complex, which processes a V(D)J acidic and basic residues forming the active site. recombination intermediate. Defects of these nucleases These active site residues coordinate catalytically cause genetic instability or severe immunodeficiency. essential divalent cations, such as magnesium, Thus, structural biology on various nuclease actions is calcium, manganese or zinc, as a cofactor. However, essential for the elucidation of the molecular mechanism the requirements for actual cleavage, such as the types of complex DNA repair machinery. Three-dimensional and the numbers of metals, are very complicated, but structural information of nucleases is also rapidly are not common among the nucleases.

  • Flap DNA Unwinding and Incision by the Human FAN1 Dimer
    ARTICLE Received 16 Aug 2014 | Accepted 30 Oct 2014 | Published 11 Dec 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6726 Structural insights into 50 flap DNA unwinding and incision by the human FAN1 dimer Qi Zhao1,*, Xiaoyu Xue1,*, Simonne Longerich1,*, Patrick Sung1 & Yong Xiong1 Human FANCD2-associated nuclease 1 (FAN1) is a DNA structure-specific nuclease involved in the processing of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). FAN1 maintains genomic stability and prevents tissue decline in multiple organs, yet it confers ICL-induced anti-cancer drug resistance in several cancer subtypes. Here we report three crystal structures of human FAN1 in complex with a 50 flap DNA substrate, showing that two FAN1 molecules form a head-to- tail dimer to locate the lesion, orient the DNA and unwind a 50 flap for subsequent incision. Biochemical experiments further validate our model for FAN1 action, as structure-informed mutations that disrupt protein dimerization, substrate orientation or flap unwinding impair the structure-specific nuclease activity. Our work elucidates essential aspects of FAN1-DNA lesion recognition and a unique mechanism of incision. These structural insights shed light on the cellular mechanisms underlying organ degeneration protection and cancer drug resistance mediated by FAN1. 1 Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA. * These authors contributed equally to this work.

This is the editing (proofreading) function used to ensure that the right nucleotide was added by DNA polymerase III to a growing DNA chain. 1 α fragment – The first ~60 amino acids of β-galactosidase that can combine with the last ~960 amino acids of β-galactosidase (the ω fragment) to form an active enzyme. ω fragment – The last ~960 amino acids of β-galactosidase that can be combined with the α-fragment of β-galactosidase to form an active β-galactosidase. Activation- (of a gene, operon or regulon) A mechanism of gene regulation that requires the induction of the expression of the genes.
