Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the only mechanism in humans to repair UV-induced DNA lesions such as pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). In response to UV damage, the ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase phosphorylates and activates several downstream effector proteins, such as p53 and XPA, to arrest cell cycle progression, stimulate DNA repair, or initiate apoptosis. However, following the completion of DNA repair, there must be active mechanisms that restore the cell to a prestressed homeostatic state. An important part of this recovery must include a process to reduce p53 and NER activity as well as to remove repair protein complexes from the DNA damage sites. Since activation of the damage response occurs in part through phosphorylation, phosphatases are obvious candidates as homeostatic regulators of the DNA damage and repair responses. Therefore, we investigated whether the serine/threonine wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (WIP1/PPM1D) might regulate NER. WIP1 overexpression inhibits the kinetics of NER and CPD repair, whereas WIP1 depletion enhances NER kinetics and CPD repair. This NER suppression is dependent on WIP1 phosphatase activity, as phosphatase-dead WIP1 mutants failed to inhibit NER. Moreover, WIP1 suppresses the kinetics of UV-induced damage repair largely through effects on NER, as XPD-deficient cells are not further suppressed in repairing UV damage by overexpressed WIP1. Wip1 null mice quickly repair their CPD and undergo less UV-induced apoptosis than their wild-type counterparts. In vitro phosphatase assays identify XPA and XPC as two potential WIP1 targets in the NER pathway. Thus WIP1 may suppress NER kinetics by dephosphorylating and inactivating XPA and XPC and other NER proteins and regulators after UV-induced DNA damage is repaired. 相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage evokes a complex network of molecular responses, which culminate in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Here, we provide an in-depth characterization of the molecular pathway that mediates UV-C-induced apoptosis of meiotic germ cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We show that UV-C-induced DNA lesions are not directly pro-apoptotic. Rather, they must first be recognized and processed by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Our data suggest that NER pathway activity transforms some of these lesions into other types of DNA damage, which in turn are recognized and acted upon by the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. HR pathway activity is in turn required for the recruitment of the C. elegans homolog of the yeast Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 (9-1-1) complex and activation of downstream checkpoint kinases. Blocking either the NER or HR pathway abrogates checkpoint pathway activation and UV-C-induced apoptosis. Our results show that, following UV-C, multiple DNA repair pathways can cooperate to signal to the apoptotic machinery to eliminate potentially hazardous cells. 相似文献

In eukaryotic cells, DNA damage triggers activation of checkpoint signaling pathways that coordinate cell cycle arrest and repair of damaged DNA. These DNA damage responses serve to maintain genome stability and prevent accumulation of genetic mutations and development of cancer. The p38 MAPK was previously implicated in cellular responses to several types of DNA damage. However, the role of each of the four p38 isoforms and the mechanism for their involvement in DNA damage responses remained poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that p38γ, but not the other p38 isoforms, contributes to the survival of UV-treated cells. Deletion of p38γ sensitizes cells to UV exposure, accompanied by prolonged S phase cell cycle arrest and increased rate of apoptosis. Further investigation reveal that p38γ is essential for the optimal activation of the checkpoint signaling caused by UV, and for the efficient repair of UV-induced DNA damage. These findings have established a novel role of p38γ in UV-induced DNA damage responses, and suggested that p38γ contributes to the ability of cells to cope with UV exposure by regulating the checkpoint signaling pathways and the repair of damaged DNA. 相似文献

To maintain genomic integrity DNA damage response (DDR), signaling pathways have evolved that restrict cellular replication and allow time for DNA repair. CCNG2 encodes an unconventional cyclin homolog, cyclin G2 (CycG2), linked to growth inhibition. Its expression is repressed by mitogens but up-regulated during cell cycle arrest responses to anti-proliferative signals. Here we investigate the potential link between elevated CycG2 expression and DDR signaling pathways. Expanding our previous finding that CycG2 overexpression induces a p53-dependent G(1)/S phase cell cycle arrest in HCT116 cells, we now demonstrate that this arrest response also requires the DDR checkpoint protein kinase Chk2. In accord with this finding we establish that ectopic CycG2 expression increases phosphorylation of Chk2 on threonine 68. We show that DNA double strand break-inducing chemotherapeutics stimulate CycG2 expression and correlate its up-regulation with checkpoint-induced cell cycle arrest and phospho-modification of proteins in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM and Rad3-related (ATR) signaling pathways. Using pharmacological inhibitors and ATM-deficient cell lines, we delineate the DDR kinase pathway promoting CycG2 up-regulation in response to doxorubicin. Importantly, RNAi-mediated blunting of CycG2 attenuates doxorubicin-induced cell cycle checkpoint responses in multiple cell lines. Employing stable clones, we test the effect that CycG2 depletion has on DDR proteins and signals that enforce cell cycle checkpoint arrest. Our results suggest that CycG2 contributes to DNA damage-induced G(2)/M checkpoint by enforcing checkpoint inhibition of CycB1-Cdc2 complexes. 相似文献

Activation of the S-phase checkpoint results in an inhibition of DNA synthesis in response to DNA damage. This is an active cellular response that may enhance cell survival and limit heritable genetic abnormalities. While much attention has been paid to elucidating signal transduction pathways regulating the ionizing radiation-induced S-phase checkpoint, less is known about whether UV radiation initiates the process and the mechanism controlling it. Here, we demonstrate that low-dose UV radiation activates an S-phase checkpoint that requires the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad-related kinase (ATR). ATR regulates the S-phase checkpoint through phosphorylation of the downstream target structural maintenance of chromosomal protein 1. Furthermore, the ATPase activity of Rad17 is crucial for its chromatin association and for the functional effects of ATR activation in response to low-dose UV radiation. These results suggest that low-dose UV radiation activates an S-phase checkpoint requiring ATR-mediated signal transduction pathway. 相似文献

MTA1 (metastasis-associated protein 1), an integral component of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex, has recently been implicated in the ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage response. However, whether MTA1 also participates in the UV-induced DNA damage checkpoint pathway remains unknown. In response to UV radiation, ATR (ataxia teleangiectasia- and Rad3-related) is the major kinase activated that orchestrates cell cycle progression with DNA repair machinery by phosphorylating and activating a number of downstream substrates, such as Chk1 (checkpoint kinase 1) and H2AX (histone 2A variant X). Here, we report that UV radiation stabilizes MTA1 in an ATR-dependent manner and increases MTA1 binding to ATR. On the other hand, depletion of MTA1 compromises the ATR-mediated Chk1 activation following UV treatment, accompanied by a marked down-regulation of Chk1 and its interacting partner Claspin, an adaptor protein that is required for the phosphorylation and activation of Chk1 by ATR. Furthermore, MTA1 deficiency decreases the induction of phosphorylated H2AX (referred to as γ-H2AX) and γ-H2AX focus formation after UV treatment. Consequently, depletion of MTA1 results in a defect in the G2-M checkpoint and increases cellular sensitivity to UV-induced DNA damage. Thus, MTA1 is required for the activation of the ATR-Claspin-Chk1 and ATR-H2AX pathways following UV treatment, and the noted abrogation of the DNA damage checkpoint in the MTA1-depleted cells may be, at least in part, a consequence of dysregulation of the expression of these two pathways. These findings suggest that, in addition to its role in the repair of double strand breaks caused by ionizing radiation, MTA1 also participates in the UV-induced ATR-mediated DNA damage checkpoint pathway. 相似文献

DNA damage response mechanisms encompass pathways of DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint arrest and apoptosis. Together, these mechanisms function to maintain genomic stability in the face of exogenous and endogenous DNA damage. ATM is activated in response to double strand breaks and initiates cell cycle checkpoint arrest. Recent studies in human fibroblasts have shown that ATM also regulates a mechanism of end-processing that is required for a component of double strand break repair. Human fibroblasts rarely undergo apoptosis after ionising radiation and, therefore, apoptosis is not considered in our review. The dual function of ATM raises the question as to how the two processes, DNA repair and checkpoint arrest, interplay to maintain genomic stability. In this review, we consider the impact of ATM's repair and checkpoint functions to the maintenance of genomic stability following irradiation in G2. We discuss evidence that ATM's repair function plays little role in the maintenance of genomic stability following exposure to ionising radiation. ATM's checkpoint function has a bigger impact on genomic stability but strikingly the two damage response pathways co-operate in a more than additive manner. In contrast, ATM's repair function is important for survival post irradiation. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene MEC1 represents a structural homolog of the human gene ATM mutated in ataxia telangiectasia patients. Like human ataxia telangiectasia cell lines, mec1 mutants are defective in G2 and S-phase cell cycle checkpoints in response to radiation treatment. Here we show an additional defect in G1 arrest following treatment with UV light or gamma rays and map a defective arrest stage at or upstream of START in the yeast cell cycle. 相似文献

Role and regulation of p53 during an ultraviolet radiation-induced G1 cell cycle arrest. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
p53 can play a key role in response to DNA damage by activating a G1 cell cycle arrest. However, the importance of p53 in the cell cycle response to UV radiation is unclear. In this study, we used normal and repair-deficient cells to examine the role and regulation of p53 in response to UV radiation. A dose-dependent G1 arrest was observed in normal and repair-deficient cells exposed to UV. Expression of HPV16-E6, or a dominant-negative p53 mutant that inactivates wildtype p53, caused cells to become resistant to this UV-induced G1 arrest. However, a G1 to S-phase delay was still observed after UV treatment of cells in which p53 was inactivated. These results indicate that UV can inhibit G1 to S-phase progression through p53-dependent and independent mechanisms. Cells deficient in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage were more susceptible to a G1 arrest after UV treatment than cells with normal repair capacity. Moreover, no G1 arrest was observed in cells that had completed DNA repair prior to monitoring their movement from G1 into S-phase. Finally, p53 was stabilized under conditions of a UV-induced G1 arrest and unstable when cells had completed DNA repair and progressed from G1 into S-phase. These results suggest that unrepaired DNA damage is the signal for the stabilization of p53, and a subsequent G1 phase cell cycle arrest in UV-irradiated cells. 相似文献

The recognition of DNA double-stranded breaks or single-stranded DNA gaps as a precondition for cell cycle checkpoint arrest has been well established. However, how bulky base damage such as UV-induced pyrimidine dimers elicits a checkpoint response has remained elusive. Nucleotide excision repair represents the main pathway for UV dimer removal that results in strand interruptions. However, we demonstrate here that Rad53p hyperphosphorylation, an early event of checkpoint signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is independent of nucleotide excision repair (NER), even if replication as a source of secondary DNA damage is excluded. Thus, our data hint at primary base damage or at UV damage (primary or secondary) that does not need to be processed by NER as the relevant substrate of damage-sensing checkpoint proteins. 相似文献

Successful DNA repair within chromatin requires coordinated interplay of histone modifications, chaperones and remodelers for allowing access of repair and checkpoint machineries to damaged sites. Upon completion of repair, ordered restoration of chromatin structure and key epigenetic marks herald the cell’s normal function. Here, we demonstrate such a restoration role of H3K56 acetylation (H3K56Ac) mark in response to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of human cells. A fast initial deacetylation of H3K56 is followed by full renewal of an acetylated state at ~24–48 h post-irradiation. Histone chaperone, anti-silencing function-1 A (ASF1A), is crucial for post-repair H3K56Ac restoration, which in turn, is needed for the dephosphorylation of γ-H2AX and cellular recovery from checkpoint arrest. On the other hand, completion of DNA damage repair is not dependent on ASF1A or H3K56Ac. H3K56Ac restoration is regulated by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) checkpoint kinase. These cross-talking molecular cellular events reveal the important pathway components influencing the regulatory function of H3K56Ac in the recovery from UV-induced checkpoint arrest. 相似文献

DNA damage encountered by DNA replication forks poses risks of genome destabilization, a
precursor to carcinogenesis. Damage checkpoint systems cause cell cycle arrest, promote
repair and induce programed cell death when damage is severe. Checkpoints are critical
parts of the DNA damage response network that act to suppress cancer. DNA damage and
perturbation of replication machinery causes replication stress, characterized by
accumulation of single-stranded DNA bound by replication protein A (RPA), which triggers
activation of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR) and phosphorylation of the
RPA32, subunit of RPA, leading to Chk1 activation and arrest. DNA-dependent protein kinase
catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) [a kinase related to ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and
ATR] has well characterized roles in DNA double-strand break repair, but poorly understood
roles in replication stress-induced RPA phosphorylation. We show that DNA-PKcs mutant
cells fail to arrest replication following stress, and mutations in RPA32 phosphorylation
sites targeted by DNA-PKcs increase the proportion of cells in mitosis, impair ATR
signaling to Chk1 and confer a G2/M arrest defect. Inhibition of ATR and DNA-PK (but not
ATM), mimic the defects observed in cells expressing mutant RPA32. Cells expressing mutant
RPA32 or DNA-PKcs show sustained H2AX phosphorylation in response to replication stress
that persists in cells entering mitosis, indicating inappropriate mitotic entry with
unrepaired damage. 相似文献

The replication checkpoint protein Claspin is important for maintenance of genomic stability and is required for cells to overcome genotoxic stress. Upon UV-induced DNA damage, Claspin is required for activation of the ATR-mediated DNA damage checkpoint response, leading to arrest of DNA replication and inhibition of cell cycle progression. Located at the DNA replication fork, Claspin is also suggested to monitor replication and sense damage. Our present studies in HeLa cells demonstrate associations between the Claspin/ATR-related DNA damage checkpoint response and the global genomic nucleotide excision repair pathway. siRNA-mediated knockdown of Claspin abolishes the UV-induced degradation of DDB2 and impairs the co-localization of DDB2 to DNA damage sites. Thus, the presence of Claspin is required for the total turnover of DNA damage binding protein DDB2, as well as for its functionality in DNA damage recognition. Claspin, however, seems not to be required for maintaining the cellular level of the NER factor XPC and its UV-induced post-translational modifications. Co-localization of XPC with DNA lesions is also intact in the absence of Claspin as is the repair of the UV-induced lesions CPD and 6-4PP. Claspin itself may be directly responsible for physical interaction between the two pathways since Claspin is able to associate with DDB1, DDB2 and XPC. Taken together, these findings reveal physical and functional interplay between Claspin and NER-related proteins and demonstrate crosstalk between the DNA damage checkpoint control and DNA damage repair pathways. 相似文献

Increasing evidence indicates that neurodegeneration involves the activation of the cell cycle machinery in postmitotic neurons. However, the purpose of these cell cycle-associated events in neuronal apoptosis remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that cell cycle activation is a critical component of the DNA damage response in postmitotic neurons. Different genotoxic compounds (etoposide, methotrexate, and homocysteine) induced apoptosis accompanied by cell cycle reentry of terminally differentiated cortical neurons. In contrast, apoptosis initiated by stimuli that do not target DNA (staurosporine and colchicine) did not initiate cell cycle activation. Suppression of the function of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a proximal component of DNA damage-induced cell cycle checkpoint pathways, attenuated both apoptosis and cell cycle reentry triggered by DNA damage but did not change the fate of neurons exposed to staurosporine and colchicine. Our data suggest that cell cycle activation is a critical element of the DNA damage response of postmitotic neurons leading to apoptosis. 相似文献

The Nbs1 protein associates with Mre11 and Rad50 proteins to form the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex, which plays an important role in the intracellular signaling pathway activated in response to DNA damage. Mutations in the genes for each of these three components of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex result in human diseases characterized by genomic instability. Insight into the functions of Nbs1 in the DNA damage response mediated by the protein kinase, ataxia telangiectasia mutated, has been provided by recent studies. Nbs1 acts both as a downstream target of ataxia telangiectasia mutated in the S-phase checkpoint of the cell cycle as well as an upstream modulator or activator of ataxia telangiectasia mutated in the DNA damage response. 相似文献

Due to the abnormal vasculature of solid tumors, tumor cell oxygenation can change rapidly with the opening and closing of blood vessels, leading to the activation of both hypoxic response pathways and oxidative stress pathways upon reoxygenation. Here, we report that ataxia telangiectasia mutated-dependent phosphorylation and activation of Chk2 occur in the absence of DNA damage during hypoxia and are maintained during reoxygenation in response to DNA damage. Our studies involving oxidative damage show that Chk2 is required for G2 arrest. Following exposure to both hypoxia and reoxygenation, Chk2-/- cells exhibit an attenuated G2 arrest, increased apoptosis, reduced clonogenic survival, and deficient phosphorylation of downstream targets. These studies indicate that the combination of hypoxia and reoxygenation results in a G2 checkpoint response that is dependent on the tumor suppressor Chk2 and that this checkpoint response is essential for tumor cell adaptation to changes that result from the cycling nature of hypoxia and reoxygenation found in solid tumors. 相似文献

Checkpoints, which are integral to the cellular response to DNA damage, coordinate transient cell cycle arrest and the induced expression of DNA repair genes after genotoxic stress. DNA repair ensures cellular survival and genomic stability, utilizing a multipathway network. Here we report evidence that the two systems, DNA damage checkpoint control and DNA repair, are directly connected by demonstrating that the Rad55 double-strand break repair protein of the recombinational repair pathway is a terminal substrate of DNA damage and replication block checkpoints. Rad55p was specifically phosphorylated in response to DNA damage induced by the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate, dependent on an active DNA damage checkpoint. Rad55p modification was also observed after gamma ray and UV radiation. The rapid time course of phosphorylation and the recombination defects identified in checkpoint-deficient cells are consistent with a role of the DNA damage checkpoint in activating recombinational repair. Rad55p phosphorylation possibly affects the balance between different competing DNA repair pathways. 相似文献

Incorporation of uracil during DNA synthesis is among the most common types of endogenously generated DNA damage. Depletion of Caenorhabditis elegans dUTPase by RNA interference allowed us to study the role of DNA damage response (DDR) pathways when responding to high levels of uracil in DNA. dUTPase depletion compromised development, caused embryonic lethality and led to activation of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. These phenotypes manifested as a result of processing misincorporated uracil by the uracil-DNA glycosylase UNG-1. Strikingly, abrogation of the clk-2 checkpoint gene rescued lethality and developmental defects, and eliminated cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis after dUTPase depletion. These data show a genetic interaction between UNG-1 and activation of the CLK-2 DDR pathway after uracil incorporation into DNA. Our results indicate that persistent repair intermediates and/or single-stranded DNA formed during repair of misincorporated uracil are tolerated in the absence of the CLK-2 checkpoint in C. elegans. 相似文献
