Chemotherapeutic agents such as mitomycin C or nitrogen mustards induce DNA inter-strand cross-links (ICL) and are highly toxic, thus constituting an useful tool to treat some human degenerative diseases, such as cancer. Additionally, psoralens plus UV-A (PUVA), which also induce ICL, find use in treatment of patients afflicted with psoriasis and vitiligo. The repair of DNA ICL generated by different molecules involves a number of multi-step DNA repair pathways. In bacteria, as in eukaryotic cells, if DNA ICL are not tolerated or repaired via nucleotide excision repair (NER), homologous recombination or translesion synthesis pathways, these DNA lesions may lead to mutations and cell death. Herein, we bring new insights to the role of Escherichia coli nucleotide excision repair genes uvrA, uvrB and uvrC in the repair of DNA damage induced by some chemotherapeutic agents and psoralen derivatives plus UV-A. These new observations point to a novel role for the UvrB protein, independent of its previously described role in the Uvr(A)BC complex, which could be specific for repair of monoadducts, intra-strand biadducts and/or ICL. 相似文献

Repair of interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) requires multiple-strand incisions to separate the two covalently attached strands of DNA. It is unclear how these incisions are generated. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) have been identified as intermediates in ICL repair, but enzymes responsible for producing these intermediates are unknown. Here we show that Mus81, a component of the Mus81-Eme1 structure-specific endonuclease, is involved in generating the ICL-induced DSBs in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in S phase. Given the DNA junction cleavage specificity of Mus81-Eme1 in vitro, DNA damage-stalled replication forks are suitable in vivo substrates. Interestingly, generation of DSBs from replication forks stalled due to DNA damage that affects only one of the two DNA strands did not require Mus81. Furthermore, in addition to a physical interaction between Mus81 and the homologous recombination protein Rad54, we show that Mus81(-/-) Rad54(-/-) ES cells were as hypersensitive to ICL agents as Mus81(-/-) cells. We propose that Mus81-Eme1- and Rad54-mediated homologous recombination are involved in the same DNA replication-dependent ICL repair pathway. 相似文献

Repair of DNA interstrand cross-links 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are very toxic to dividing cells, because they induce mutations, chromosomal rearrangements and cell death. Inducers of ICLs are important drugs in cancer treatment. We discuss the main properties of several classes of ICL agents and the types of damage they induce. The current insights in ICL repair in bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells are reviewed. An intriguing aspect of ICLs is that a number of multi-step DNA repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination and post-replication/translesion repair all impinge on their repair. Furthermore, the breast cancer-associated proteins Brca1 and Brca2, the Fanconi anemia-associated FANC proteins, and cell cycle checkpoint proteins are involved in regulating the cellular response to ICLs. We depict several models that describe possible pathways for the repair or replicational bypass of ICLs. 相似文献

The Mre11 and Pso2 nucleases function in homologous recombination and interstrand cross-link (ICL) repair pathways, respectively, while the Exo1 nuclease is involved in homologous recombination and mismatch repair. Characterization of the sensitivity of single, double and triple mutants for these nucleases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to various DNA damaging agents reveals complex interactions that depend on the type of DNA damage. The pso2 mutant is uniquely sensitive to agents that generate ICLs and mre11-H125N shows the highest sensitivity of the single mutants for ionizing radiation and methyl methane sulfonate. However, elimination of all three nucleases confers higher sensitivity to IR than any of the single or double mutant combinations indicating a high degree of redundancy and versatility in the response to DNA damage. In response to ICL agents, double-strand breaks are still formed in the triple nuclease mutant indicating that none of these nucleases are responsible for unhooking cross-links. 相似文献

DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are the most cytotoxic lesions to eukaryotic genome and are repaired by both homologous recombination-dependent and -independent mechanisms. To better understand the role of lesion bypass polymerases in ICL repair, we investigated recombination-independent repair of ICLs in REV3 and REV1 deletion mutants constructed in avian DT40 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. Our results showed that Rev3 plays a major role in recombination-independent ICL repair, which may account for the extreme sensitivity of REV3 mutants to cross-linking agents. This result raised the possibility that the NER gap synthesis, when encountering an adducted base present in the ICL repair intermediate, can lead to recruitment of Rev3, analogous to the recruitment of polymerase eta during replicative synthesis. Indeed, the monoubiquitination-defective Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) mutant exhibits impaired recombination-independent ICL repair as well as drastically reduced mutation rate, indicating that the PCNA switch is utilized to enable lesion bypass during DNA repair synthesis. Analyses of a REV1 deletion mutant also revealed a significant reduction in recombination-independent ICL repair, suggesting that Rev1 cooperates with Rev3 in recombination-independent ICL repair. Moreover, deletion of REV3 or REV1 significantly altered the spectrum of mutations resulting from ICL repair, further confirming their involvement in mutagenic repair of ICLs. 相似文献

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are highly toxic lesions that covalently link both strands of DNA and distort the DNA helix. Crosslinking agents have been shown to stall DNA replication and failure to repair ICL lesions before encountered by replication forks may induce severe DNA damage. Most knowledge of the ICL repair process has been revealed from studies in bacteria and cell extracts. However, for mammalian cells the process of ICL repair is still unclear and conflicting data exist. In this study we have explored the fate of psoralen-induced ICLs during replication, by employing intact mammalian cells and novel techniques. By comparative studies distinguishing between effects by monoadducts versus ICLs, we have been able to link the block of replication to the ICLs induction. We found that the replication fork was equally blocked by ICLs in wild-type cells as in cells deficient in ERCC1/XPF and XRCC3. The formation of ICL induced double strand breaks (DSBs), detected by formation of 53PB1 foci, was equally induced in the three cell lines suggesting that these proteins are involved at a later step of the repair process. Furthermore, we found that forks blocked by ICLs were neither bypassed, restarted nor restored for several hours. We propose that this process is different from that taking place following monoadduct induction by UV-light treatment where replication bypass is taking place as an early step. Altogether our findings suggest that restoration of an ICL blocked replication fork, likely initiated by a DSB occurs relatively rapidly at a stalled fork, is followed by restoration, which seems to be a rather slow process in intact mammalian cells. 相似文献

MUS81-EME1 is a DNA endonuclease involved in replication-coupled repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). A prevalent hypothetical role of MUS81-EME1 in ICL repair is to unhook the damage by incising the leading strand at the 3′ side of an ICL lesion. In this study, we report that purified MUS81-EME1 incises DNA at the 5′ side of a psoralen ICL residing in fork structures. Intriguingly, ICL repair protein, Fanconi anemia complementation group A protein (FANCA), greatly enhances MUS81-EME1-mediated ICL incision. On the contrary, FANCA exhibits a two-phase incision regulation when DNA is undamaged or the damage affects only one DNA strand. Studies using truncated FANCA proteins indicate that both the N- and C-moieties of the protein are required for the incision regulation. Using laser-induced psoralen ICL formation in cells, we find that FANCA interacts with and recruits MUS81 to ICL lesions. This report clarifies the incision specificity of MUS81-EME1 on ICL damage and establishes that FANCA regulates the incision activity of MUS81-EME1 in a damage-dependent manner. 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

DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL)-inducing agents such as cisplatin, mitomycin C (MMC) and nitrogen mustards are widely used as potent antitumor drugs. Although ICL repair mechanism is not yet well characterized in mammalian cells, this pathway is thought to involve a sequential action of nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination (HR). The importance of unraveling ICL repair pathways is highlighted by the hypersensitivity to ICL-inducing agents in cells of patients with the genetic disease Fanconi anemia (FA) and in cells mutated in the Breast Cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. To better characterize the involvement of HR in the sensitivity to ICL-inducing agents, we examined spontaneous and ICL-induced HR in rodent FA-like V-H4 cells. In this report, we show that MMC-hypersensitive V-H4 cells exhibit an increased spontaneous homology-directed repair (HDR) activity compared to the resistant V79 parental cells. Elevated HDR activity results mainly in increased conservative Rad51-dependent recombination, without affecting non-conservative single-strand annealing process (SSA). We also show that HDR activity is enhanced following MMC treatment in parental cells, but not in rodent FA-like V-H4 cells. Moreover, our data indicate that Rad51 foci formation is significantly delayed in these FA-like cells in response to crosslinking agent. These findings provide evidence for an impairment of HR control in V-H4 cells and emphasize the involvement of the FA pathway in HR-mediated repair. 相似文献

Targeting DNA-damaging agents to specific DNA sites by using sequence-specific DNA ligands has been successful in directing genomic modifications. The understanding of repair processing of such targeted damage and the influence of the adjacent complex is largely unknown. In this way, directed interstrand cross-links (ICLs) have already been generated by psoralen targeting. The mechanisms responsible for ICL removal are far from being understood in mammalian cells, with the proposed involvement of both mutagenic and recombinogenic pathways. Here, a unique ICL was introduced at a selected site by photoactivation of a psoralen moiety with the use of psoralen conjugates of triplex-forming oligonucleotides. The processing of psoralen ICL was evaluated in vitro and in cells for two types of cross-linked substrates, either containing a psoralen ICL alone or with an adjacent triple-stranded structure. We show that the presence of a neighbouring triplex structure interferes with different stages of psoralen ICL processing: (i) the ICL-induced DNA repair synthesis in HeLa cell extracts is inhibited by the triplex structure, as measured by the efficiency of ‘true’ and futile repair synthesis, stopping at the ICL site; (ii) in HeLa cells, the ICL removal via a nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is delayed in the presence of a neighbouring triplex; and (iii) the binding to ICL of recombinant xeroderma pigmentosum A protein, which is involved in pre-incision recruitment of NER factors is impaired by the presence of the third DNA strand. These data characterize triplex-induced modulation of ICL repair pathways at specific steps, which might have implications for the controlled induction of targeted genomic modifications and for the associated cellular responses. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in at least 13 genes and characterized by genomic instability. In addition to displaying strikingly heterogenous clinical phenotypes, FA patients are exquisitely sensitive to treatments with crosslinking agents that create interstrand crosslinks (ICL). In contrast to bacteria and yeast, in which ICLs are repaired through replication-dependent and -independent mechanisms, it is thought that ICLs are repaired primarily during DNA replication in vertebrates. However, recent data indicate that replication-independent ICL repair also operates in vertebrates. While the precise role of the FA pathway in ICL repair remains elusive, increasing evidence suggests that FA proteins function at different steps in the sensing, recognition and processing of ICLs, as well as in signaling from these very toxic lesions, which can be generated by a wide variety of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. Here, we discuss some of the recent findings that have shed light on the role of the FA pathway in ICL repair, with special emphasis on the implications of these findings for cancer therapy since disruption of FA genes have been associated with cancer predisposition. 相似文献

Bifunctional DNA alkylating agents form a diverse assortment of covalent DNA interstrand cross-linked (ICL) structures that are potent cytotoxins. Because it is implausible that cells could possess distinct DNA repair systems for each individual ICL, it is believed that common structural and dynamic features of ICL damage are recognized, rather than specific structural characteristics of each cross-linking agent. Investigation of the structural and dynamic properties of ICLs that might be important for recognition has been complicated by heterogeneous incorporation of these lesions into DNA. To address this problem, we have synthesized and characterized several homogeneous ICL DNAs containing site-specific staggered N4-cytosine-ethyl-N4-cytosine cross-links. Staggered cross-links were introduced in two ways, in a manner that preserves the overall structure of B-form duplex DNA and in a manner that highly distorts the DNA structure, with the goal of understanding how structural and dynamic properties of diverse ICL duplexes might flag these sites for repair. Measurements of base pair opening dynamics in the B-form ICL duplex by (1)H NMR line width or imino proton solvent exchange showed that the guanine base opposite the cross-linked cytosine opened at least 1 order of magnitude more slowly than when in a control matched normal duplex. To a lesser degree, the B-form ICL also induced a decrease in base pair opening dynamics that extended from the site of the cross-link to adjacent base pairs. In contrast, the non-B-form ICL showed extensive conformational dynamics at the site of the cross-link, which extended over the entire DNA sequence. Because DNA duplexes containing the B-form and non-B-form ICL cross-links have both been shown to be incised when incubated in mammalian whole cell extracts, while a matched normal duplex is not, we conclude that intrinsic DNA dynamics is not a requirement for specific damage incision of these ICLs. Instead, we propose a general model in which destabilized ICL duplexes serve to energetically facilitate binding of DNA repair factors that must induce bubbles or other distortions in the duplex. However, the essential requirement for incision is an immobile Y-junction where the repair factors are stably bound at the site of the ICL, and the two DNA strands are unpaired. 相似文献

One of the least well understood DNA repair processes in cells is the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) which present a major obstacle to DNA replication and must be repaired or bypassed to allow fork progression. Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited genome instability syndrome characterized by hypersensitivity to ICL damage. Central to the FA repair pathway is FANCD2 that is mono-ubiquitylated in response to replication stress and ICL damage through the action of the FA core complex and its E3-ubiquitin ligase subunit, FANCL. In its mono-ubiquitylated form FANCD2 is recruited to repair foci where it is believed to somehow coordinate ICL repair and restart of impeded replication forks. However, the precise mechanism through which the FA pathway and mono-ubiquitylation of FANCD2 promotes ICL repair remains unclear. Here we report on a functional homologue of FANCD2 in C. elegans (FCD-2). Although fcd-2 mutants are homozygous viable, they are exquisitely sensitive to ICL-inducing agents, but insensitive to ionizing radiation (IR). fcd-2 is dispensable for meiotic recombination and activation of the S-phase checkpoint, indicating that ICL sensitivity is likely due to a repair rather than a signalling defect. Indeed, we show that FCD-2 is mono-ubiquitylated in response to ICL damage and is recruited to nuclear repair foci. Consistent with the sensitivity of fcd-2 mutants, FCD-2 focus formation is induced in response to ICL damage and replication stress, but not following IR, suggesting that FCD-2 responds to lesions that block DNA replication and not DNA double strand breaks per se. The realization that the FA pathway is conserved in a genetically tractable model system will permit the comprehensive analysis of the interplay between the FA, homologous recombination (HR), translesion synthesis (TLS) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways, critical to the understanding of ICL repair. 相似文献
