When DNA Meets RNA cells Review The Ultimate (Mis)match: When DNA Meets RNA Benoit Palancade 1,* and Rodney Rothstein 2,* 1 Institut Jacques Monod, Université de Paris, CNRS, F-75006 Paris, France 2 Department of Genetics & Development, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY 10032, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (B.P.); [email protected] (R.R.) Abstract: RNA-containing structures, including ribonucleotide insertions, DNA:RNA hybrids and R-loops, have recently emerged as critical players in the maintenance of genome integrity. Strikingly, different enzymatic activities classically involved in genome maintenance contribute to their gen- eration, their processing into genotoxic or repair intermediates, or their removal. Here we review how this substrate promiscuity can account for the detrimental and beneficial impacts of RNA in- sertions during genome metabolism. We summarize how in vivo and in vitro experiments support the contribution of DNA polymerases and homologous recombination proteins in the formation of RNA-containing structures, and we discuss the role of DNA repair enzymes in their removal. The diversity of pathways that are thus affected by RNA insertions likely reflects the ancestral function of RNA molecules in genome maintenance and transmission.

Recognition of Embedded Ribonucleotides: Genotoxicity vs. Tolerance The insertion of rNMPs in the genome enhances DNA reactivity, favors alkali cleavage, and causes backbone distortions, with possible repercussions on DNA-related transactions, such as replication and chromatin assembly [24]. In view of their potentially deleterious effects, genome-embedded rNMPs are efficiently removed by ribonucleotide excision repair (RER), an error-free pathway that relies on ribonucleotide recognition and excision by RNase H2, which also removes the RNA stretches generated by primase activity [24]. Alternatively, in the absence of RNase H2, ribonucleotide insertion leads to topoisomerase I-dependent cleavage, eventually leading to short deletions in repeated sequences, as revealed by in vitro and in vivo studies [25,26]. Furthermore, the accumulation of rNMPs insertions in the genome causes replication stress and genetic instability, as shown by

Abstract: Transcription-replication interactions occur when DNA replication encounters genomic regions undergoing transcription. Both replication and transcription are essential for life and use the same DNA template making conflicts unavoidable. R-loops, DNA supercoiling, DNA secondary structure, and chromatin-binding proteins are all potential obstacles for processive replication or transcription and pose an even more potent threat to genome integrity when these processes co-occur. It is critical to maintaining high fidelity and processivity of transcription and replication while navigating through a complex chromatin environment, highlighting the importance of defining cellular pathways regulating transcription-replication interaction formation, evasion, and resolution. Here we discuss how transcription influences replication fork stability, and the safeguards that have evolved to navigate transcription-replication interactions and maintain genome integrity in mammalian cells.

This multi-faceted nature and the slow turnover of NPC components complicates investigations of how indi- vidual nucleoporins act in these diverse processes. To address this question, we apply an Auxin-Induced Degron (AID) system to distinguish roles of basket nucleoporins NUP153, NUP50 and TPR. Acute depletion of TPR causes rapid and pronounced changes in tran- scriptomic profiles. These changes are dissimilar to shifts observed after loss of NUP153 or NUP50, but closely related to changes caused by depletion of mRNA export receptor NXF1 or the GANP subunit of the TRanscription-EXport-2 (TREX-2) mRNA export complex. More- over, TPR depletion disrupts association of TREX-2 subunits (GANP, PCID2, ENY2) to NPCs and results in abnormal RNA transcription and export. Our findings demonstrate a unique and pivotal role of TPR in gene expression through TREX-2- and/or NXF1-dependent mRNA turnover. 1 Division of Molecular and Cellular Biology, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. 2 Department of Cell Biology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA. 3 Bioinformatics and Scientific Programming Core, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20879, USA.

Non-Canonical Functions Of The aB cterial Sos Response Abstract DNA damage is a pervasive environmental threat, as such, most bacteria encode a network of genes called the SOS response that is poised to combat genotoxic stress. In the absence of DNA damage, the SOS response is repressed by LexA, a repressor-protease. In the presence of DNA damage, LexA undergoes a self-cleavage reaction relieving repression of SOS-controlled effector genes that promote bacterial survival. However, depending on the bacterial species, the SOS response has an expanded role beyond DNA repair, regulating genes involved in mutagenesis, virulence, persistence, and inter-species competition. Despite a plethora of research describing the significant consequences of the SOS response, it remains unknown what physiologic environments induce and require the SOS response for bacterial survival. In Chapter 2, we utilize a commensal E. coli strain, MP1, and established that the SOS response is critical for sustained colonization of the murine gut. Significantly, in evaluating the origin of the genotoxic stress, we found that the SOS response was nonessential for successful colonization in the absence of the endogenous gut microbiome, suggesting that competing microbes might be the source of genotoxic stress.

Multiple SNP-sets Analysis for Genome-wide Association Studies through Bayesian Latent Variable Selection Zhaohua Lu, Hongtu Zhu, Rebecca C Knickmeyer, Patrick F. Sullivan, Williams N. Stephanie, and Fei Zou for the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative* Departments of Biostatistics, Psychiatry, and Genetics and Biomedical Research Imaging Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA Abstract The power of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for mapping complex traits with single SNP analysis may be undermined by modest SNP effect sizes, unobserved causal SNPs, correlation among adjacent SNPs, and SNP-SNP interactions. Alternative approaches for testing the association between a single SNP-set and individual phenotypes have been shown to be promising for improving the power of GWAS. We propose a Bayesian latent variable selection (BLVS) method to simultaneously model the joint association mapping between a large number of SNP-sets and complex traits. Compared to single SNP-set analysis, such joint association mapping not only accounts for the correlation among SNP-sets, but also is capable of detecting causal SNP- sets that are marginally uncorrelated with traits. The spike-slab prior assigned to the effects of SNP-sets can greatly reduce the dimension of effective SNP-sets, while speeding up computation. An efficient MCMC algorithm is developed. Simulations demonstrate that BLVS outperforms several competing variable selection methods in some important scenarios.

  • DNA Repair from Wikipedia.Org
    DNA repair From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Dna repair) Jump to: navigation, search For the journal, see DNA Repair (journal). DNA damage resulting in multiple broken chromosomes DNA repair refers to a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome. In human cells, both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as UV light and radiation can cause DNA damage, resulting in as many as 1 million individual molecular lesions per cell per day.[1] Many of these lesions cause structural damage to the DNA molecule and can alter or eliminate the cell's ability to transcribe the gene that the affected DNA encodes. Other lesions induce potentially harmful mutations in the cell's genome, which affect the survival of its daughter cells after it undergoes mitosis. Consequently, the DNA repair process is constantly active as it responds to damage in the DNA structure. When normal repair processes fail, and when cellular apoptosis does not occur, irreparable DNA damage may occur, including double-strand breaks and DNA crosslinkages.[2][3] The rate of DNA repair is dependent on many factors, including the cell type, the age of the cell, and the extracellular environment. A cell that has accumulated a large amount of DNA damage, or one that no longer effectively repairs damage incurred to its DNA, can enter one of three possible states: 1. an irreversible state of dormancy, known as senescence 2. cell suicide, also known as apoptosis or programmed cell death 3. unregulated cell division, which can lead to the formation of a tumor that is cancerous The DNA repair ability of a cell is vital to the integrity of its genome and thus to its normal functioning and that of the organism.

    Lecture-9 M.Sc 2nd Semester (Environmental Microbiology) Paper EM-202: Microbial physiology and adaptation Unit IV: SOS Inducible Repair Mechanism Against UV Induced Damage The SOS Response • The SOS response is the term used to describe changes in gene expression in E. coli in other bacteria in response to extensive DNA damage. The prokaryotic SOS system is regulated by two main protien i.e. Lex A and Rec A. •Despite having multiple repair system, sometimes the damage to an organism’s DNA is so great that the normal repair mechanisms just described cannot repair all the damage. As a result, DNA synthesis stops completely. In such situations, a global control network called the SOS response is activated. •The SOS response is known to be widespread in the Bacteria domain, but it is mostly absent in some bacterial phyla, like the Spirochetes. •The SOS response, like recombination repair, is dependent on the activity of the RecA and Lex A protein . •. The most common cellular signals activating the SOS response are regions of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), arising from stalled replication fork or double-strand breaks, which are processed by DNA helicase to separate the two DNA strands. In the initiation step, RecA protein binds to ssDNA in an ATP hydrolysis driven reaction creating RecA–ssDNA filaments. •RecA binds to single or double stranded DNA breaks and gaps generated by cessation of DNA synthesis. RecA binding initiates recombination repair. •RecA–ssDNA filaments activate LexA auto protease activity, which ultimately leads to cleavage of LexA dimer and subsequent LexA degradation. •The loss of LexA repressor induces transcription of the SOS genes and allows for further signal induction, inhibition of cell division and an increase in levels of proteins responsible for damage processing.

Experimental data and scientific publications following this technological advance- ment have rapidly accumulated in public databases. Meaningful analysis of currently avail- able data in genomic databases requires sophisticated computational tools and algorithms, and presents considerable challenges to molecular biologists without specialized training in bioinfor- matics. To study their phenotype of interest molecular biologists must prioritize large lists of poorly characterized genes generated in high-throughput experiments. To date, prioritization tools have primarily been designed to work with phenotypes of human diseases as defined by the genes known to be associated with those diseases. There is therefore a need for more prioritiza- tion tools for phenotypes which are not related with diseases generally or diseases with which no genes have yet been associated in particular. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a method of choice to study the gene regulation processes responsible for the expression of cellular phenotypes. Among publicly available computational pipelines for the processing of ChIP-Seq data, there is a lack of tools for the downstream analysis of composite motifs and preferred binding distances of the DNA binding proteins.

However, direct evidence for a role of these toxins in CKD-related vascular calcification has not been reported. Methods To study early and late vascular alterations by toxin exposure, we exposed CKD rats to vehicle, IS (150 mg/kg per day), or PCS (150 mg/kg per day) for either 4 days (short-term exposure) or 7 weeks (long-term exposure). We also performed unbiased proteomic analyses of arterial samples coupled to functional bioinformatic annotation analyses to investigate molecular signaling events associated with toxin-mediated arterial calcification. Results Long-term exposure to either toxin at serum levels similar to those experienced by patients with CKD significantly increased calcification in the aorta and peripheral arteries.

  • Role of the Escherichia Coli Recq DNA Helicase in SOS Signaling and Genome Stabilization at Stalled Replication Forks
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Role of the Escherichia coli RecQ DNA helicase in SOS signaling and genome stabilization at stalled replication forks Takashi Hishida,1,5,7 Yong-Woon Han,1,5,6 Tatsuya Shibata,1 Yoshino Kubota,1 Yoshizumi Ishino,3 Hiroshi Iwasaki,4 and Hideo Shinagawa1,2,8 1Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University, Osaka 565-0871, Japan; 2CREST, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Osaka 565-0871, Japan; 3Department of Genetic Resources Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, 812-8581, Japan; 4Graduate School of Integrated Science, Yokohama City University, Yokohama, 230-0045 Japan The RecQ protein family is a highly conserved group of DNA helicases that play roles in maintaining genomic stability. In this study, we present biochemical and genetic evidence that Escherichia coli RecQ processes stalled replication forks and participates in SOS signaling. Cells that carry dnaE486, a mutation in the DNA polymerase III ␣-catalytic subunit, induce an RecA-dependent SOS response and become highly filamented at the semirestrictive temperature (38°C). An recQ mutation suppresses the induction of SOS response and the filamentation in the dnaE486 mutant at 38°C, causing appearance of a high proportion of anucleate cells. In vitro, RecQ binds and unwinds forked DNA substrates with a gap on the leading strand more efficiently than those with a gap on the lagging strand or Holliday junction DNA. RecQ unwinds the template duplex ahead of the fork, and then the lagging strand is unwound. Consequently, this process generates a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gap on the lagging strand adjacent to a replication fork.
