DNA interstrand cross-link repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL) present a formidable challenge to the cellular DNA repair apparatus. For Escherichia coli, a pathway which combines nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination repair (HRR) to eliminate ICL has been characterized in detail, both genetically and biochemically. Mechanisms of ICL repair in eukaryotes have proved more difficult to define, primarily as a result of the fact that several pathways appear compete for ICL repair intermediates, and also because these competing activities are regulated in the cell cycle. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has proven a powerful tool for dissecting ICL repair. Important roles for NER, HRR and postreplication/translesion synthesis pathways have all been identified. Here we review, with reference to similarities and differences in higher eukaryotes, what has been discovered to date concerning ICL repair in this simple eukaryote. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal or X-linked recessive disorder characterized by chromosomal instability, bone marrow failure, cancer susceptibility, and a profound sensitivity to agents that produce DNA interstrand cross-link (ICL). To date, 15 genes have been identified that, when mutated, result in FA or an FA-like syndrome. It is believed that cellular resistance to DNA interstrand cross-linking agents requires all 15 FA or FA-like proteins. Here, we review our current understanding of how these FA proteins participate in ICL repair and discuss the molecular mechanisms that regulate the FA pathway to maintain genome stability. 相似文献

Short DNA duplexes that contain a N4C-ethyl-N4C interstrand cross-link were prepared on controlled pore glass supports using a DNA synthesizer. The C-C cross-link was introduced via a convertible nucleoside on the support or by using a protected C-C cross-link phosphoramidite. An orthogonal protection scheme allowed selective chain growth in either a 3'-->5' or 5'-->3' direction. The cross-linked duplexes were purified by HPLC and characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and/or by enzymatic digestion. 相似文献

A critical step in DNA interstrand cross-link repair is the programmed collapse of replication forks that have stalled at an ICL. This event is regulated by the Fanconi anemia pathway, which suppresses bone marrow failure and cancer. In this perspective, we focus on the structure of forks that have stalled at ICLs, how these structures might be incised by endonucleases, and how incision is regulated by the Fanconi anemia pathway. 相似文献

Nitrous acid is a mutagenic agent. It can induce interstrand cross-links in duplex DNA, preferentially at d(CpG) steps: two guanines on opposite strands are linked via a single shared exocyclic imino group. Recent synthetic advances have led to the production of large quantities of such structurally homogenous cross-linked duplex DNA. Here we present the high resolution solution structure of the cross-linked dodecamer [d(GCATCCGGATGC)]2 (the cross-linked guanines are underlined), determined by 2D NMR spectroscopy, distance geometry, restrained molecular dynamics and iterative NOE refinement. The cross-linked guanines form a nearly planar covalently linked 'G:G base pair' with only minor propeller twisting, while the cytidine bases of their normal base pairing partners have been flipped out of the helix and adopt well defined extrahelical positions in the minor groove. On the 5'-side of the cross-link, the minor groove is widened to accommodate these extrahelical bases, and the major groove becomes quite narrow at the cross-link. The cross-linked 'G:G base pair' is well stacked on the spatially adjacent C:G base pairs, particularly on the 3'-side guanines. In addition to providing the first structure of a nitrous acid cross-link in DNA, these studies could be of major importance to the understanding of the mechanisms of nitrous acid cross-linking and mutagenicity, as well as the mechanisms responsible for its repair in intracellular environments. It is also the shortest DNA cross-link structure to be described. 相似文献

Repair of interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs) in Escherichia coli can occur through a combination of nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination. However, an alternative mechanism has been proposed in which repair is initiated by NER followed by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and completed through another round of NER. Using site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotides that serve as a model for potential repair intermediates following incision by E. coli NER proteins, the ability of E. coli DNA polymerases (pol) II and IV to catalyze TLS past N(2)-N(2)-guanine ICLs was determined. No biochemical evidence was found suggesting that pol II could bypass these lesions. In contrast, pol IV could catalyze TLS when the nucleotides that are 5' to the cross-link were removed. The efficiency of TLS was further increased when the nucleotides 3' to the cross-linked site were also removed. The correct nucleotide, C, was preferentially incorporated opposite the lesion. When E. coli cells were transformed with a vector carrying a site-specific N(2)-N(2)-guanine ICL, the transformation efficiency of a pol II-deficient strain was indistinguishable from that of the wild type. However, the ability to replicate the modified vector DNA was nearly abolished in a pol IV-deficient strain. These data strongly suggest that pol IV is responsible for TLS past N(2)-N(2)-guanine ICLs. 相似文献

Several proteins that specifically bind to DNA modified by cisplatin, including those containing HMG-domains, mediate antitumor activity of this drug. Oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes containing a single, site-specific interstrand cross-link of cisplatin were probed for recognition by the rat chromosomal protein HMGB1 and its domains A and B using the electrophoretic mobility-shift assay. It has been found that the full-length HMGB1 protein and its domain B to which the lysine-rich region (seven amino acid residues) of the A/B linker is attached at the N-terminus (the domain HMGB1b7) specifically recognize DNA interstrand cross-linked by cisplatin. The affinity of these proteins to the interstrand cross-link of cisplatin is not very different from that to the major 1,2-GG intrastrand cross-link of this drug. In contrast, no recognition of the interstrand cross-link by the domain B lacking this region or by the domain A with or without this lysine-rich region attached to its C-terminus is noticed under conditions when these proteins readily bind to 1,2-GG intrastrand adduct. A structural model for the complex formed between the interstrand cross-linked DNA and the domain HMGB1b7 was constructed and refined using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics techniques. The calculated accessible areas around the deoxyribose protons correlate well with the experimental hydroxyl radical footprint. The model suggests that the only major adaptation necessary for obtaining excellent surface complementarity is extra DNA unwinding (approximately 40 degrees ) at the site of the cross-link. The model structure is consistent with the hypothesis that the enhancement of binding affinity afforded by the basic lysine-rich A/B linker is a consequence of its tight binding to the sugar-phosphate backbone of both DNA strands. 相似文献

DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are mainly repaired by the combined action of nucleotide excision repair and homologous recombination in E. coli. Genetic data also suggest the existence of a nucleotide excision repair-dependent, homologous recombination-independent ICL repair pathway. The involvement of translesion synthesis in this pathway has been postulated; however, the molecular mechanism of this pathway is not understood. To examine the role of translesion synthesis in ICL repair, we generated a defined substrate with a single psoralen ICL that mimics a postincision structure generated by nucleotide excision repair. We demonstrated that the Klenow fragment (DNA polymerase I) performs translesion synthesis on this model substrate. This in vitro translesion synthesis assay will help in understanding the basic mechanism of a postincision translesion synthesis process in ICL repair. 相似文献

The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) forms two types of interstrand cross-links with the adjacent nucleotides in DNA. Previous experiments revealed that dG does not react with the lesion and that formation of one type of cross-link is catalyzed by the opposing dA. iso-Guanosine·dC and 2-aminopurine·dT base pairs were used to determine why dG does not cross-link with C4-AP despite its well known reactivity with other bis-electrophiles. 7-Deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine was used to probe the role of the nucleotide opposite C4-AP in the catalysis of interstrand cross-link formation. 相似文献

The processing of stalled forks caused by DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) has been proposed to be an important step in initiating mammalian ICL repair. To investigate a role of the XPF-ERCC1 complex in this process, we designed a model substrate DNA with a single psoralen ICL at a three-way junction (Y-shaped DNA), which mimics a stalled fork structure. We found that the XPF-ERCC1 complex makes an incision 5' to a psoralen lesion on Y-shaped DNA in a damage-dependent manner. Furthermore, the XPF-ERCC1 complex generates an ICL-specific incision on the 3'-side of an ICL. The ICL-specific 3'-incision, along with the 5'-incision, on the cross-linked Y-shaped DNA resulted in the separation of the two cross-linked strands (the unhooking of the ICL) and the induction of a double strand break near the cross-linked site. These results implicate the XPF-ERCC1 complex in initiating ICL repair by unhooking the ICL, which simultaneously induces a double strand break at a stalled fork. 相似文献

TRF1 protects mammalian telomeres from fusion and fragility. Depletion of TRF1 leads to telomere fusions as well as accumulation of γ-H2AX foci and activation of both the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)- and the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR)-mediated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response (DDR) pathways. 53BP1, which is also present at dysfunctional telomeres, is a target of ATM that accumulates at DNA double-strand breaks and favors nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair over ATM-dependent resection and homology-directed repair (homologous recombination [HR]). To address the role of 53BP1 at dysfunctional telomeres, we generated mice lacking TRF1 and 53BP1. 53BP1 deficiency significantly rescued telomere fusions in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking TRF1, but they showed evidence of a switch from the NHEJ- to HR-mediated repair of uncapped telomeres. Concomitantly, double-mutant MEFs showed evidence of hyperactivation of the ATR-dependent DDR. In intact mice, combined 53BP1/TRF1 deficiency in stratified epithelia resulted in earlier onset of DNA damage and increased CHK1 phosphorylation during embryonic development, leading to aggravation of skin phenotypes. 相似文献

4,5',8-Trimethylpsoralen (TMP) cross-links a 5' TpA or a 5' ApT site by photoreacting with one thymine moiety in each DNA strand. We are interested in whether psoralen interstrand cross-links all share one structure or whether there are significant differences. In this paper, we employed a rapid method for probing the structure of the cross-link by making a series of TMP cross-linked duplexes containing specific base-pair mismatches. The relative stability provided by a base pair can be correlated with neighboring base pairs by comparing the extents of gel retardation when base-pair mismatches happen in each position. From our studies, we infer that with respect to the furan-side strand, the 5'T.A base pair of the two T.A base pairs in the TpA site is not hydrogen bonded. Immediately on each side of the cross-linked TpA site is a highly stabilized base pair. Next, a region of decreased stability occurs in each arm of a cross-linked duplex and these base pairs of least stability are located farther away from the cross-linked thymines as the lengths of the arms of the cross-linked helix increase. Finally, even in 7 M urea at 49 degrees C the cross-linked helix is hydrogen bonded at both ends of a duplex of 22 base pairs. We propose that the structures of interstrand cross-links in DNA vary appreciably with the DNA sequence, the length of the DNA duplex, and the structures of the DNA cross-linking agents. 相似文献

Using a defined substrate DNA with a single psoralen interstrand cross-link (ICL), we studied the molecular mechanism of human ICL repair. In vitro ICL repair by human extracts is dependent on replication and is a largely error-free process. Extracts from a human BRCA2-defective mutant cell line, CAPAN-1, are severely compromised in ICL repair. Specifically, 'unhooked' but not fully repaired products accumulate in the reaction with CAPAN-1, and transient expression of BRCA2 in CAPAN-1 restores repair activity. Together, these results reveal that BRCA2 participates in repair of replication-mediated double-strand breaks generated when replication forks encounter ICLs. We also show that nucleotide excision repair is essential for the removal of the lesion left behind on one strand after unhooking. This study provides new mechanistic insights into the repair of ICLs in human cells. 相似文献

Repair of DNA interstrand cross-links is a complex process critical to which is the identification of sites of damage by specific proteins. We have recently identified the structural protein nonerythroid alpha spectrin (alphaSpIISigma) as a component of a nuclear protein complex in normal human cells which is involved in the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links and have shown that it forms a complex with the Fanconi anemia proteins FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG. Using DNA affinity chromatography, we now show that alphaSpIISigma, present in HeLa cell nuclei, specifically binds to DNA containing psoralen interstrand cross-links and that the FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG proteins are bound to this damaged DNA as well. That spectrin binds directly to the cross-linked DNA has been shown using purified bovine brain spectrin (alphaSpIISigma1/betaSpIISigma1)2. Binding of the Fanconi anemia (FA) proteins to the damaged DNA may be either direct or indirect via their association with alphaSpIISigma. These results demonstrate a role for alpha spectrin in the nucleus as well as a new function for this protein in the cell, an involvement in DNA repair. alphaSpIISigma may bind to cross-linked DNA and act as a scaffold to help in the recruitment of repair proteins to the site of damage and aid in their alignment and interaction with each other, thus enhancing the efficiency of the repair process. 相似文献

Tip60 is required for DNA interstrand cross-link repair in the Fanconi anemia pathway 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The disease Fanconi anemia is a genome instability syndrome characterized by cellular sensitivity to DNA interstrand cross-linking agents, manifest by decreased cellular survival and chromosomal aberrations after such treatment. There are at least 13 proteins acting in the pathway, with the FANCD2 protein apparently functioning as a late term effecter in the maintenance of genome stability. We find that the chromatin remodeling protein, Tip60, interacts directly with the FANCD2 protein in a yeast two-hybrid system. This interaction has been confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization using both endogenous and epitope-tagged FANCD2 and Tip60 from human cells. The observation of decreased cellular survival after exposure to mitomycin C in normal fibroblasts depleted for Tip60 indicates a direct function in interstrand cross-link repair. The coincident function of Tip60 and FANCD2 in one pathway is supported by the finding that depletion of Tip60 in Fanconi anemia cells does not increase sensitivity to DNA cross-links. However, depletion of Tip60 did not reduce monoubiquitination of FANCD2 or its localization to nuclear foci following DNA damage. The observations indicate that Fanconi anemia proteins act in concert with chromatin remodeling functions to maintain genome stability after DNA cross-link damage. 相似文献

During our earlier investigations we have observed a prominent preference of the linker histone H1 for binding to a cis-platinated DNA (a synthetic fragment with global type of platination in respect to targets for cisplatin) comparing with unmodified and trans-Pt-modified DNA. In the present work we report our recent experimental results on the binding of the linker histones H1 and H5 to a cisplatin-modified synthetic DNA fragment containing a single nucleotide target d(GC/CG) for inter-platination. Surprisingly, no preferential binding of linker histones to cis-inter-platinated DNA was observed by means of the electromobility-shift assay. The same negative results were obtained with a part of the linker histone molecule suggested to be responsible for DNA-binding--its globular domain. Contrary, the data with another nuclear protein with similar DNA-binding properties as linker histones--HMGB1--showed a strong afinity for interaction with DNA containing interstrand cross-links. 相似文献

Interstrand DNA cross-link damage is a severe challenge to genomic integrity. Nucleotide excision repair plays some role in the repair of DNA cross-links caused by psoralens and other agents. However, in mammalian cells there is evidence that the ERCC1-XPF nuclease has a specialized additional function during interstrand DNA cross-link repair, beyond its role in nucleotide excision repair. We placed a psoralen monoadduct or interstrand cross-link in a duplex, 4-6 bases from a junction with unpaired DNA. ERCC1-XPF endonucleolytically cleaved within the duplex on either side of the adduct, on the strand having an unpaired 3' tail. Cross-links that were cleaved only on the 5' side were purified and reincubated with ERCC1-XPF. A second cleavage was then observed on the 3' side. Relevant partially unwound structures near a cross-link may be expected to arise frequently, for example at stalled DNA replication forks. The results show that the single enzyme ERCC1-XPF can release one arm of a cross-link and suggest a novel mechanism for interstrand cross-link repair. 相似文献
