Depending on the type of DNA damage, there are several repair pathways dedicated to a quick and efficient repair of the damage. A major source of DNA damage is exposure to UV light, which causes formation of 6’-4’photoproducts and pyrimidine dimers. These are bulky DNA adducts that cause distortion of the helix structure. Such lesions are repaired by Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER). Nucleotide Excision Repair occurs by two sub-pathways, depending on the genomic location of the lesion. Transcription coupled NER (TC-NER) repairs lesions in actively transcribed genes, which global genomic NER (GG-NER) can repair all types of lesions. These two pathways differ in their recognition step. Lesion recognition is followed by verification of damage, excision of the damaged strand, and refilling of the gap by DNA synthesis. An important unanswered question in the field of NER is how the removal of lesions occurs in the context of chromatin structure. Recognition of lesions in heterochromatin requires a decondensation of chromatin to enable access by repair factors. Additionally, lesion recognition requires cascades of recruitment of the various proteins, in a tightly regulated and synchronized manner. We show that the recognition step during GG-NER consists of a ZRF1-DICER-MMSET axis linking lesion recognition via DDB2 to lesion verification via XPA followed by subsequent repair. ZRF1 recognizes the H2AK119 ub mark set by the UV-RING1B complex. This results in translocation of the lesion to the nucleolus, and remodeling of the complex to the UV-CUL4A complex. Formation of this complex enables the next phase of ubiquitylation that regulates NER repair proteins. ZRF1 in turn also contributed to chromatin decondensation through recruitment of DICER. DICER enables relaxation of chromatin structure in a PARP1 dependent manner. It also recruits MMSET, which sets the H4K20me2 mark. This histone mark serves as a tethering platform for recruitment of XPA, a core NER component which is essential for further repair to take place. Thus, we have discovered a novel and essential function for these proteins in NER. 4 Zussamenfassung FACHBEREICH BIOLOGIE DER JOHANNES GUTENBERG-UNIVERSITÄT MAINZ Nr. / 20 Zusammenfassung der Dissertation von __Shalaka Chitale Thema: Eine wesentliche Aufgabe der Zelle ist es die Integrität ihrer DNA zu schützen, um die darin enthaltene genetische Information zu erhalten. Abhängig von der Art der DNA-Schädigung werden in der Zelle unterschiedliche DNA-Reparaturmechanismen angeschaltet, die eine schnelle und effiziente Reparatur des Schadens gewährleisten. Eine der zahlreichen zellulären DNA Reparaturmechanismen ist die Nukleotidexzisionsreparatur (NER), welche unterschiedliche Schäden wie zum Beispiel Cyclobutanpyrimidin Dimere (CPD) und 6-4 Photoprodukte repariert, die nach der Bestrahlung mit UV Licht entstehen. In Säugerzellen werden in der NER Schäden durch zwei unterschiedliche Mechanismen repariert. Schäden in transkribierten genomischen Bereichen werden durch die sogenannte transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER) repariert, alle anderen genomische Bereiche werden durch global genomic NER (GG-NER) repariert. Diese beiden DNA Reparaturmechanismen unterscheiden sich lediglich in der Schadenserkennung. In deren Anschluss nutzen TC-NER und GG-NER einen gemeinsamen Mechanismus zur Verifizierung, zur Exzsion des Schadens und zur Auffüllung der entstandenen etwa 30 Nukleotide umfassenden Lücke durch DNA Synthese. Wie NER im Kontext der Chromatinstruktur verläuft ist eine bislang noch offene Frage. Die Schadenserkennung im Heterochromatin benötigt eine Dekondensierung bzw. Öffnung der Chromatinkonformation, um die Rekrutierung von DNA Reparaturfaktoren zu ermöglichen. Ausserdem werden während der Schadenserkennung unterschiedliche Proteinkomplexe in einer synchronisierten bzw. zeitlich festgelegten Folge zur DNA-Läsion rekrutiert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass während der GG-NER die Schadenserkennung durch das Zusammenspiel der Faktoren ZRF1, DICER und MMSET mit dem DNA Reparturerkennungsfaktor DDB2 geprägt ist, welches die Rekrutierung des DNA Reparaturfaktors XPA ermöglicht. Dabei bindet ZRF1 mono- ubiquitiniertes histone H2A (H2A-K119-Ub), welches durch den UV-RING1B Komplex katalysiert wird. Derart modifiziertes Chromatin wird zum Nukleolus transloziert, wo durch molekulares Remodeling der UV-RING1B Komplex in den UV-CUL4A Komplex umgebaut wird. Die Herstellung des UV-CUL4A Komplexes leitet dann die nächste Phase von Ubiquitinierungsreaktionen ein, welche wiederum nachfolgende Reparaturreaktionen regulieren. Weiterhin ist ZRF1 an der Chromatin-Dekondensierung beteiligt, da es über die Rekruiterung von DICER eine PARP1-abhängige Relaxation der Chromatin-Konformation hervorruft. DICER wiederum ist für die Rekruiterung des Methyltransferase MMSET essentiell, welche ein Methylierung am Histone H4 (H4K20me2) bedingt. Diese Histonmodifizierung dient als eine Art 5 Bindeplattform für den Reparaturfaktor XPA, eine der Hauptkomponenten der NER. Zusammengenommen konnte eine neue und essentielle Funktion der obengenannten Proteine bzw. deren Zusammenspiel während der NER entdeckt werden. Genehmigt vom 1. Gutachter / von der 1. Gutachterin _______________________________________ (Unterschrift) 6 Introduction The need for efficient DNA repair: One of the major biological discoveries in recent times, has been the central dogma that governs all biological systems. DNA uses a specific sequence of the four bases A,T,G,C to encode genetic information, this information is transmitted via RNA, and thus leads to formation of the specific proteins needed by an organism to survive. Considering the major role of DNA as a repository of the genetic information of an organism, maintaining the sequence integrity of DNA is one of the major functions of a cell. DNA is under threat from a variety of internal and external agents, that can directly or indirectly lead to changes in the DNA sequence. Persistent DNA damage can lead to mutations, cell cycle stalling and ultimately even cell death. Thus, the cell has devised a variety of pathways to ensure efficient repair of its DNA. Types of DNA damage: DNA damage can occur due to a variety of endogenous and exogenous factors. Depending on the type of damage, the cell has evolved a corresponding variety of repair pathways that repair the damage. (Table 1) (reviewed in De Bont and van Larebeke,

    GENETIC VARIATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE TO DOXORUBICIN AND PACLITAXEL IN BREAST CANCER by Irada Ibrahim-zada A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto © Copyright by Irada Ibrahim-zada 2010 ii Genetic variations associated with resistance to doxorubicin and paclitaxel in breast cancer Irada Ibrahim-zada Doctor of Philosophy Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens have been the mainstay in treating breast cancer patients using chemotherapy. Yet, the genetic make-up of patients and their tumors may have a strong impact on tumor sensitivity to these agents and to treatment outcome. This study represents a new paradigm assimilating bioinformatic tools with in vitro model systems to discover novel genetic variations that may be associated with chemotherapy response in breast cancer. This innovative paradigm integrates drug response data for the NCI60 cell line panel with genome-wide Affymetrix SNP data in order to identify genetic variations associated with drug resistance. This genome wide association study has led to the discovery of 59 candidate loci that may play critical roles in breast tumor sensitivity to doxorubicin and paclitaxel. 16 of them were mapped within well-characterized genes (three related to doxorubicin and 13 to paclitaxel). Further in silico characterization and in vitro functional analysis validated their differential expression in resistant cancer cell lines treated with the drug of interest (over-expression of RORA and DSG1, and under-expression of FRMD6, SGCD, SNTG1, LPHN2 and DCT). iii Interestingly, three and six genes associated with doxorubicin and paclitaxel resistance, respectively, are involved in the apoptotic process in cells.

Dicer enzymes are mostly known for their essential role in the biogenesis of small regulatory RNAs. A typical Dicer-type RNase consists of a helicase domain, a domain of unknown function (DUF283), a PAZ (Piwi-Argonaute-Zwille) domain, two RNase III domains, and a double-stranded RNA binding domain; however, the domain composition of Dicers varies among species. Dicer and its homologues developed only in eukaryotes; nevertheless, the two enzymatic domains of Dicer, helicase and RNase III, display high sequence similarity to their prokaryotic orthologs. Evolutionary studies indicate that a combination of the helicase and RNase III domains in a single protein is a eukaryotic signature and is supposed to be one of the critical events that triggered the consolidation of the eukaryotic RNA interference. In this review, we provide the genetic insight into the domain organization and structure of Dicer proteins found in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, plants and fungi. We also discuss, in the context of the individual domains, domain deletion variants and partner proteins, a variety of Dicers’ functions not only related to small RNA biogenesis pathways.

Based on our discovery that the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate (DS) displays peculiar affinity to apoptotic cells and autoantigens (autoAgs) and that DS-autoAg complexes cooperatively stimulate autoreactive B1 cell responses, we compiled a database of 751 candidate autoAgs from six human cell types. At least 657 of these have been found to be affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection based on currently available multi-omic COVID data, and at least 400 are confirmed targets of autoantibodies in a wide array of autoimmune diseases and cancer.
