Faithful inheritance of the chromatin structure is essential for maintaining the gene expression integrity of a cell. Histone modification by acetylation and deacetylation is a critical control of chromatin structure. In this study, we test the hypothesis that histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is physically associated with a basic component of the DNA replication machinery as a mechanism of coordinating histone deacetylation and DNA synthesis. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a sliding clamp that serves as a loading platform for many proteins involved in DNA replication and DNA repair. We show that PCNA interacts with HDAC1 in human cells and in vitro and that a considerable fraction of PCNA and HDAC1 colocalize in the cell nucleus. PCNA associates with histone deacetylase activity that is completely abolished in the presence of the HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A. Trichostatin A treatment arrests cells at the G(2)-M phase of the cell cycle, which is consistent with the hypothesis that the proper formation of the chromatin after DNA replication may be important in signaling the progression through the cell cycle. Our results strengthen the role of PCNA as a factor coordinating DNA replication and epigenetic inheritance.  相似文献

The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein serves as a molecular platform recruiting and coordinating the activity of factors involved in multiple deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transactions. To avoid dangerous genome instability, it is necessary to prevent excessive retention of PCNA on chromatin. Although PCNA functions during DNA replication appear to be regulated by different post-translational modifications, the mechanism regulating PCNA removal and degradation after nucleotide excision repair (NER) is unknown. Here we report that CREB-binding protein (CBP), and less efficiently p300, acetylated PCNA at lysine (Lys) residues Lys13,14,77 and 80, to promote removal of chromatin-bound PCNA and its degradation during NER. Mutation of these residues resulted in impaired DNA replication and repair, enhanced the sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, and prevented proteolytic degradation of PCNA after DNA damage. Depletion of both CBP and p300, or failure to load PCNA on DNA in NER deficient cells, prevented PCNA acetylation and degradation, while proteasome inhibition resulted in accumulation of acetylated PCNA. These results define a CBP and p300-dependent mechanism for PCNA acetylation after DNA damage, linking DNA repair synthesis with removal of chromatin-bound PCNA and its degradation, to ensure genome stability.  相似文献

Histone covalent modifications play a significant role in the regulation of chromatin structure and function during DNA damage. Hyperacetylation of histones is a DNA damage dependent post translational modification in yeast and mammals. Although acetylation of histones during DNA damage is well established, specific lysine residues that are acetylated is being understood very recently in mammals. Here, in the present study, acetylation of three different lysine residues Histone3Lysine 9 (H3K9), Histone3Lysine 56 (H3K56) and Histone4Lysine 16 (H4K16) were probed with specific antibodies in mammalian cell lines treated with genotoxic agents that induce replication stress or S-phase dependent double strand breaks. Immunoblotting results have shown that DNA damage associated with replication arrest induce acetylation of H3K56 and H4K16 but not H3K9 in mammals. Immunofluorescence experiments further confirmed that acetylated H3K56 and H4K16 form nuclear foci at the site of DNA double strand breaks. Colocalization of H3K56ac with γ H2AX and replication factor PCNA proved the existence of this modification at the site of DNA damage and its probable role in DNA damage repair. Put together, the present data suggests that acetylation of H3K56 and H4K16 are potent DNA damage dependent histone modifications but not H3K9 in mammals.  相似文献

Mammalian cells employ a network of DNA repair pathways. DNA repair is required during development to ensure accuracy of DNA replication in the rapidly dividing embryonic cells and to maintain genomic integrity in the mature organism. An enzyme involved in repair of replication errors generated on either normal or oxidatively damaged DNA templates, is the mammalian ortholog of the Escherichia coli MutY DNA glycosylase (MYH). We show that levels of MYH isoform, detected at the E14 embryonic stage, decrease during embryonic and neonatal rat development, while new isoforms appear and gradually increase in the neonate and adult brain. The temporally declining expression of embryonic MYH resembles the pattern of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) decline during this period. Immunohistochemical analyses of the embryonic brain show that cells staining for MYH initially coincide with cells staining for PCNA. At later stages PCNA declines, while MYH is detected primarily outside the nucleus. MutY-like glycosylase activity for adenines misincorporated opposite oxidized guanines is detected in both, embryonic and adult brain extracts. Together, these findings suggest that in proliferating embryonic cells, MYH might be primarily involved in post replicative repair of nuclear DNA, whereas in post mitotic neurons, in the repair of mitochondrial DNA.  相似文献

Background

WRN is a multi-functional protein involving DNA replication, recombination and repair. WRN acetylation has been demonstrated playing an important role in response to DNA damage. We previously found that WRN acetylation can regulate its enzymatic activities and nuclear distribution.

Methodology/Principal Finding

Here, we investigated the factors involved in WRN acetylation and found that CBP and p300 are the only major acetyltransferases for WRN acetylation. We further identified 6 lysine residues in WRN that are subject to acetylation. Interestingly, WRN acetylation can increase its protein stability. SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of WRN reverses this effect. CBP dramatically increases the half-life of wild type WRN, while mutation of these 6 lysine residues (WRN-6KR) abrogates this increase. We further found that WRN stability is regulated by the ubiquitination pathway and WRN acetylation by CBP significantly reduces its ubiquitination. Importantly, we found that WRN is strongly acetylated and stabilized in response to mitomycin C (MMC) treatment. H1299 cells stably expressing WRN-6KR, which mimics unacetylated WRN, display significantly higher MMC sensitivity compared with the cells expressing wild-type WRN.

Conclusion/Significance

Taken together, these data demonstrate that WRN acetylation regulates its stability and has significant implications regarding the role of acetylation on WRN function in response to DNA damage.  相似文献

The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an essential component for eukaryotic chromosomal DNA replication and repair. PCNA forms a homotrimer ring, which may function as a DNA sliding clamp for DNA polymerases and, possibly, a docking station for other replication- and repair-related proteins. Several reports have suggested the existence of different PCNA isoforms. Here we confirm, using high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis with narrow pH ranges, the existence of three PCNA isoforms in both Chinese hamster and human breast cancer cells. Among the three isoforms, M or main form is the dominant one throughout the cell cycle while the relative amounts of the minor components A (acidic) and B (basic) forms appear to vary during the cell cycle. We also observed that a specific pattern of PCNA proteolysis occurred during isoelectric focusing in spite of high urea (8 M) and detergent (2% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylamino]-1-propane sulfonate), which was largely inhibited by the proteosome inhibitor MG132 or boiling. Interestingly, the proteolysis pattern was mainly observed with samples isolated from cells in S and G2 phases. A similar but much lower level of PCNA proteolysis also occurred in vivo within the nuclei of the cells in S phase. Taken together, our data are consistent with the idea that the existence of the different isoforms and specific proteolysis of PCNA are relevant to its functions in vivo.  相似文献

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is an important DNA repair mechanism through which cells remove bulky DNA lesions. Following DNA damage, the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) p300 (also referred to as lysine acetyltransferase or KAT) is known to associate with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a master regulator of DNA replication and repair processes. This interaction, which results in HAT inhibition, may be dissociated by the cell cycle inhibitor p21CDKN1A, thereby restoring p300 activity; however, the role of this protein interplay is still unclear. Here, we report that silencing p300 or its homolog CREB-binding protein (CBP) by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly reduces DNA repair synthesis in human fibroblasts. In addition, we determined whether p300 and CBP may associate with and acetylate specific NER factors such as XPG, the 3′-endonuclease that is involved in the incision/excision step and is known to interact with PCNA. Our results show that p300 and CBP interact with XPG, which has been found to be acetylated in vivo. XPG is acetylated by p300 in vitro, and this reaction is inhibited by PCNA. Knocking down both p300/CBP by RNAi or by chemical inhibition with curcumin greatly reduced XPG acetylation, and a concomitant accumulation of the protein at DNA damage sites was observed. The ability of p21 to bind PCNA was found to regulate the interaction between p300 and XPG, and an abnormal accumulation of XPG at DNA damage sites was also found in p21−/− fibroblasts. These results indicate an additional function of p300/CBP in NER through the acetylation of XPG protein in a PCNA–p21 dependent manner.  相似文献

DNA polymerase epsilon (pol epsilon) has been implicated in DNA replication, DNA repair, and cell cycle control, but its precise roles are unclear. When the subcellular localization of human pol epsilon was examined by indirect immunofluorescence, pol epsilon appeared in discrete nuclear foci that colocalized with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) foci and sites of DNA synthesis only late in S phase. Early in S phase, pol epsilon foci were adjacent to PCNA foci. In contrast to PCNA foci that were only present in S phase, pol epsilon foci were present throughout mitosis and the G(1) phase of cycling cells. It is hypothesized from these observations that pol epsilon and PCNA have separate but associated functions early in S phase and that pol epsilon participates with PCNA in DNA replication late in S phase.  相似文献

The nuclear lamina is a fibrous structure that lies at the interface between the nuclear envelope and the nucleoplasm. The major proteins comprising the lamina, the nuclear lamins, are also found in foci in the nucleoplasm, distinct from the peripheral lamina. The nuclear lamins have been associated with a number of processes in the nucleus, including DNA replication. To further characterize the specific role of lamins in DNA replication, we have used a truncated human lamin as a dominant negative mutant to perturb lamin organization. This protein disrupts the lamin organization of nuclei when microinjected into mammalian cells and also disrupts the lamin organization of in vitro assembled nuclei when added to Xenopus laevis interphase egg extracts. In both cases, the lamina appears to be completely absent, and instead the endogenous lamins and the mutant lamin protein are found in nucleoplasmic aggregates. Coincident with the disruption of lamin organization, there is a dramatic reduction in DNA replication. As a consequence of this disruption, the distributions of PCNA and the large subunit of the RFC complex, proteins required for the elongation phase of DNA replication, are altered such that they are found within the intranucleoplasmic lamin aggregates. In contrast, the distribution of XMCM3, XORC2, and DNA polymerase α, proteins required for the initiation stage of DNA replication, remains unaltered. The data presented demonstrate that the nuclear lamins may be required for the elongation phase of DNA replication.  相似文献

The acetylated, deacetylated and nonacetylated forms of HMG1 proteins from Guerin ascites tumour cells and calf thymus were separated and their in vitro interactions with homologous and heterologous DNA polymerases were studied. It has been found that only the acetylated form of HMG1 proteins forms a specific complex with homologous DNA polymerase alpha and stimulates its activity in vitro. The acetylation therefore is necessary for their possible function in DNA replication. This finding represents an evidence for a relationship between the acetylation of HMG1 proteins and their biological role.  相似文献

Acetylation of the Smc3 subunit of cohesin is essential to establish functional cohesion between sister chromatids. Smc3 acetylation is catalyzed by members of the Eco family of acetyltransferases, although the mechanism by which acetylation is regulated and how it promotes cohesion are largely unknown. In vertebrates, the cohesin complex binds to chromatin during mitotic exit and is converted to a functional form during or shortly after DNA replication. The conserved proliferating cell nuclear antigen-interacting protein box motif in yeast Eco1 is required for function, and cohesin is acetylated during the S phase. This has led to the notion that acetylation of cohesin is stimulated by interaction of Eco1 with the replication machinery. Here we show that in vertebrates Smc3 acetylation occurs independently of DNA replication. Smc3 is readily acetylated before replication is initiated and after DNA replication is complete. However, we also show that functional acetylation occurs only in association with the replication machinery: disruption of the interaction between XEco2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen prevents cohesion establishment while having little impact on the overall levels of Smc3 acetylation. These results demonstrate that Smc3 acetylation can occur throughout interphase but that only acetylation in association with the replication fork promotes sister chromatid cohesion. These data reveal how the generation of cohesion is limited to the appropriate time and place during the cell cycle and provide insight into the mechanism by which acetylation ensures cohesion.  相似文献

Tumour suppressor ING1b maintains genomic stability upon replication stress   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The lesion bypass pathway, which is regulated by monoubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), is essential for resolving replication stalling due to DNA lesions. This process is important for preventing genomic instability and cancer development. Previously, it was shown that cells deficient in tumour suppressor p33ING1 (ING1b) are hypersensitive to DNA damaging agents via unknown mechanism. In this study, we demonstrated a novel tumour suppressive function of ING1b in preserving genomic stability upon replication stress through regulating PCNA monoubiquitination. We found that ING1b knockdown cells are more sensitive to UV due to defects in recovering from UV-induced replication blockage, leading to enhanced genomic instability. We revealed that ING1b is required for the E3 ligase Rad18-mediated PCNA monoubiquitination in lesion bypass. Interestingly, ING1b-mediated PCNA monoubiquitination is associated with the regulation of histone H4 acetylation. Results indicate that chromatin remodelling contributes to the stabilization of stalled replication fork and to the regulation of PCNA monoubiquitination during lesion bypass.  相似文献
