Variant Requirements for DNA Repair Proteins in Cancer Cell Lines That Use
Variant requirements for DNA repair proteins in cancer cell lines that use alternative lengthening of telomere mechanisms of elongation DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alaina Rae Martinez Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jeffrey D. Parvin, Advisor Dr. Joanna Groden Dr. Amanda E. Toland Dr. Kay F. Huebner Copyright by Alaina Rae Martinez 2016 Abstract The human genome relies on DNA repair proteins and the telomere to maintain genome stability. Genome instability is recognized as a hallmark of cancer, as is limitless replicative capacity. Cancer cells require telomere maintenance to enable this uncontrolled growth. Most often telomerase is activated, although a subset of human cancers depend on recombination-based mechanisms known as Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT). ALT depends invariably on recombination and its associated DNA repair proteins to extend telomeres. This study tested the hypothesis that the requirement for those requisite recombination proteins include other types of DNA repair proteins. These functions were tested in ALT cell lines using C-circle abundance as a marker of ALT. The requirement for homologous recombination proteins and other DNA repair proteins varied between ALT cell lines compared. Several proteins essential for homologous recombination were dispensable for C-circle production in some ALT cell lines, while proteins grouped into excision DNA repair processes were required for C- circle production. The MSH2 mismatch repair protein was required for telomere recombination by intertelomeric exchange. In sum, our study suggests that ALT proceeds by multiple mechanisms that differ between human cancer cell lines and that some of these depend on DNA repair proteins not associated with homologous recombination pathways. -

Garcia aus Unterseen BE Promotionskomitee Prof. Dr. Josef Jiricny (Vorsitz) Prof. Dr. Ulrich H ¨ubscher Dr. Pavel Janscak (Leitung der Dissertation) Z ¨urich, 2005 For my parents ii Summary The RecQ DNA helicases are highly conserved from bacteria to man and are required for the maintenance of genomic stability. All unicellular organisms contain a single RecQ helicase, whereas the number of RecQ homologues in higher organisms can vary. Mu- tations in the genes encoding three of the five human members of the RecQ family give rise to autosomal recessive disorders called Bloom syndrome, Werner syndrome and Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. These diseases manifest commonly with genomic in- stability and a high predisposition to cancer. However, the genetic alterations vary as well as the types of tumours in these syndromes. Furthermore, distinct clinical features are observed, like short stature and immunodeficiency in Bloom syndrome patients or premature ageing in Werner Syndrome patients. Also, the biochemical features of the human RecQ-like DNA helicases are diverse, pointing to different roles in the mainte- nance of genomic stability. -
The Bloom Syndrome Protein Limits the Lethality Associated with RAD51 Deficiency

Using RNA interference technology, we provide the first demonstration that RAD51 acts upstream from BLM to prevent anaphase bridge formation. RAD51 downregulation was associated with an increase in the frequency of BLM-positive anaphase bridges, but not of BLM-associated ultrafine bridges. Time-lapse live microscopy analysis of anaphase bridge cells revealed that BLM promoted cell survival in the absence of Rad51. Our results directly implicate BLM in limiting the lethality associated with RAD51 deficiency through the processing of anaphase bridges resulting from the RAD51 defect. These findings provide insight into the molecular basis of some cancers possibly associated with variants of the RAD51 gene family. Mol Cancer Res; 8(3); 385–94. ©2010 AACR. Introduction cently, SUMOylation of BLM has been shown to regulate its association with RAD51 and its function in HR-medi- Bloom's syndrome displays one of the strongest known ated repair of damaged replication forks (13). In several correlations between chromosomal instability and a high models, it has been proposed that BLM restarts replication risk of cancer at an early age. -

Although the function of the polymerase domain has been investigated, little is understood regarding the helicase domain. Multiple studies have reported that polymerase θ-helicase (Polθ-helicase) is unable to unwind DNA. However, it exhibits ATPase activity that is stimulated by single-stranded DNA, which presents a biochemical conundrum. In contrast to previous reports, we demonstrate that Polθ-helicase (residues 1– 894) efficiently unwinds DNA with 3'–5' polarity, including DNA with 3' or 5' overhangs, blunt- ended DNA, and replication forks. Polθ-helicase also efficiently unwinds RNA- DNA hybrids and exhibits a preference for unwinding the lagging strand at replication forks, similar to related HELQ helicase. Finally, we find that Polθ-helicase can facilitate strand displacement synthesis by Polθ-polymerase, suggesting a plausible function for the helicase domain. -

Interactions of Dna Polymerase Theta and Ku70/80 With
INTERACTIONS OF DNA POLYMERASE THETA AND KU70/80 WITH OXIDATIVE DNA DAMAGE by Daniel Laverty A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, MD Submitted June 2018 Abstract Oxidized abasic sites (L, C4-AP, and DOB) are formed by ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen species, and some chemotherapeutics. Like abasic sites (AP), these lesions are cytotoxic and mutagenic and must be repaired, primarily by base excision repair (BER). If left unrepaired, abasic lesions stall replication and induce mutations. Repair of oxidized abasic lesions exhibits unique challenges, however. C4-AP and DOB inactivate the lyase activity of the repair enzymes DNA polymerase β and λ. Recently, several other enzymes were shown to possess lyase activity, allowing them to excise abasic lesions. Among these are DNA polymerase θ (Pol θ) and Ku70/80 (Ku). As Pol θ promotes resistance to cancer therapies which form oxidized abasic sites, the repair and replication of these lesions by Pol θ is potentially important. Ku is a core factor for non-homologous end-joining and removes AP from double strand breaks (DSBs). The interaction of Ku with oxidized abasic sites near DSB termini is potentially important for the response to ionizing radiation, which is used as a cancer treatment. Synthetic oligonucleotides containing abasic and oxidized abasic sites were prepared, and their repair or replication by Pol θ was analyzed. Pol θ bypasses C4-AP and L with reduced efficiency relative to AP and has a strong propensity to induce frameshift mutations during bypass of AP, C4-AP, L, and the oxidized nucleobase, thymidine glycol. -

Chromosome Duplication in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Bell*,1 and Karim Labib†,1 *Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, and yMedical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, Sir James Black Centre, School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, DD1 5EH, United Kingdom ORCID ID: 0000-0002-2876-610X (S.P.B.) ABSTRACT The accurate and complete replication of genomic DNA is essential for all life. In eukaryotic cells, the assembly of the multi-enzyme replisomes that perform replication is divided into stages that occur at distinct phases of the cell cycle. Replicative DNA helicases are loaded around origins of DNA replication exclusively during G1 phase. The loaded helicases are then activated during S phase and associate with the replicative DNA polymerases and other accessory proteins. The function of the resulting replisomes is monitored by checkpoint proteins that protect arrested replisomes and inhibit new initiation when replication is inhibited. The replisome also coordinates nucleosome disassembly, assembly, and the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion. Finally, when two replisomes converge they are disassembled. Studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have led the way in our understanding of these processes. Here, we review our increasingly molecular understanding of these events and their regulation.
