Based on numerous loss-of-function studies, DDR factors were thought to be dispensable for the V(D)J recombination. In particular, mice lacking Mediator of DNA Damage Checkpoint Protein 1 (MDC1) possessed nearly wild-type levels of mature B and T lymphocytes in the spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.

  • Insights Into Regulation of Human RAD51 Nucleoprotein Filament Activity During
    Insights into Regulation of Human RAD51 Nucleoprotein Filament Activity During Homologous Recombination Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ravindra Bandara Amunugama, B.S. Biophysics Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Richard Fishel PhD, Advisor Jeffrey Parvin MD PhD Charles Bell PhD Michael Poirier PhD Copyright by Ravindra Bandara Amunugama 2011 ABSTRACT Homologous recombination (HR) is a mechanistically conserved pathway that occurs during meiosis and following the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) induced by exogenous stresses such as ionization radiation. HR is also involved in restoring replication when replication forks have stalled or collapsed. Defective recombination machinery leads to chromosomal instability and predisposition to tumorigenesis. However, unregulated HR repair system also leads to similar outcomes. Fortunately, eukaryotes have evolved elegant HR repair machinery with multiple mediators and regulatory inputs that largely ensures an appropriate outcome. A fundamental step in HR is the homology search and strand exchange catalyzed by the RAD51 recombinase. This process requires the formation of a nucleoprotein filament (NPF) on single-strand DNA (ssDNA). In Chapter 2 of this dissertation I describe work on identification of two residues of human RAD51 (HsRAD51) subunit interface, F129 in the Walker A box and H294 of the L2 ssDNA binding region that are essential residues for salt-induced recombinase activity. Mutation of F129 or H294 leads to loss or reduced DNA induced ATPase activity and formation of a non-functional NPF that eliminates recombinase activity. DNA binding studies indicate that these residues may be essential for sensing the ATP nucleotide for a functional NPF formation.

Andreassen1,2,* 1Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology, Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA 2Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA *Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Accepted 6 September 2012 Journal of Cell Science 125, 6049–6057 ß 2012. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi: 10.1242/jcs.111872 Summary The PALB2 protein is associated with breast cancer susceptibility and Fanconi anemia. Notably, PALB2 is also required for DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR). However, the mechanisms that regulate PALB2, and the functional significance of its interaction with the BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility protein, are poorly understood. Here, to better understand these processes, we fused PALB2, or the PALB2(L21P) mutant which cannot bind to BRCA1, with the BRCT repeats that are present in, and which localize, BRCA1. Our results yield important insights into the regulation of PALB2 function. Both fusion proteins can bypass BRCA1 to localize to sites of DNA damage. Further, the localized fusion proteins are functional, as determined by their ability to support the assembly of RAD51 foci, even in the absence of the capacity of PALB2 to bind BRCA1. Strikingly, the localized fusion proteins mediate DNA double-strand break (DSB)-initiated HR and resistance to mitomycin C in PALB2-deficient cells. Additionally, we show that the BRCA1–PALB2 heterodimer, rather than the PALB2–PALB2 homodimer, mediates these responses.

  • Mdmx Promotes Genomic Instability Independent of P53 and Mdm2
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 846–856 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Mdmx promotes genomic instability independent of p53 and Mdm2 AM Carrillo1, A Bouska2, MP Arrate1 and CM Eischen1 The oncogene Mdmx is overexpressed in many human malignancies, and together with Mdm2, negatively regulates the p53 tumor suppressor. However, a p53-independent function of Mdmx that impacts genome stability has been described, but this function is not well understood. In the present study, we determined that of the 13 different cancer types evaluated, 6–90% of those that had elevated levels of Mdmx had concurrent inactivation (mutated or deleted) of p53. We show elevated levels of Mdmx-inhibited double-strand DNA break repair and induced chromosome and chromatid breaks independent of p53, leading to genome instability. Mdmx impaired early DNA damage-response signaling, such as phosphorylation of the serine/threonine-glutamine motif, mediated by the ATM kinase. Moreover, we identified Mdmx associated with Nbs1 of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) DNA repair complex, and this association increased upon DNA damage and was detected at chromatin. Elevated Mdmx levels also increased cellular transformation in a p53-independent manner. Unexpectedly, all Mdmx-mediated phenotypes also occurred in cells lacking Mdm2 and were independent of the Mdm2-binding domain (RING) of Mdmx. Therefore, Mdmx-mediated inhibition of the DNA damage response resulted in delayed DNA repair and increased genome instability and transformation independent of p53 and Mdm2. Our results reveal a novel p53- and Mdm2-independent oncogenic function of Mdmx that provides new insight into the many cancers that overexpress Mdmx.

Efficient DNA damage response which ensures repair of these lesions is therefore critical for maintenance of genomic stability. The repair happens in the context of chromatin, a three-dimensional nucleoprotein complex consisting of DNA, histones and associated proteins. As such, mechanisms that modulate chromatin structure, many of which involve the histone component of chromatin, have been shown to play a role in regulation of the DNA damage response.

Abstract NFBD1 (nuclear factor with BRCT domains 1) is involved in DNA damage checkpoint signaling and DNA repair. NFBD1 binds to the chromatin component γH2AX at sites of DNA damage, causing amplification of ATM pathway signaling and recruitment of DNA repair factors. Residues 508-995 of NFBD1 possess transactivation activity, suggesting a possible role of NFBD1 in transcription. Furthermore, NFBD1 influences p53-mediated transcription in response to adriamycin. We sought to determine the role of NFBD1 in ionizing radiation (IR)-responsive transcription and if NFBD1 influences transcription independently of p53. Using microarray analysis, we identified genes altered upon NFBD1 knockdown. Surprisingly, most NFBD1 regulated genes are regulated in both the absence and presence of IR, thus pointing toward a novel function for NFBD1 outside of the DNA damage response.

Abstract. Cantharidin is an active component of mylabris, protein kinase, poly-ADP ribose polymerase, phosphate- which has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine. ataxia-telangiectasia and RAD3-related, O-6-methylguanine- Cantharidin has been shown to have antitumor activity against DNA methyltransferase, breast cancer susceptibility protein 1, several types of human cancers in vitro and in animal models mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1, phospho- in vivo. We investigated whether cantharidin induces DNA histone H2A.X, but increased that of phosphorylated p53 damage and affects DNA damage repair-associated protein following 6 and 24 h treatment. Confocal laser microscopy levels in TSGH8301 human bladder cancer cells. Using flow was used to examine the protein translocation; cantharidin cytometry to measure viable cells, cantharidin was found to suppressed the levels of p-H2A.X and MDC1 but increased the reduce the number of viable cells in a dose-dependent manner.
