Geminin is an important regulator of proliferation and differentiation in metazoans, which predominantly inhibits the DNA replication licensing factor Cdt1, preventing genome over-replication. We show that Geminin preferentially forms stable coiled-coil heterodimers with its homologue, Idas. In contrast to Idas-Geminin heterodimers, Idas homodimers are thermodynamically unstable and are unlikely to exist as a stable macromolecule under physiological conditions. The crystal structure of the homology regions of Idas in complex with Geminin showed a tight head-to-head heterodimeric coiled-coil. This Idas-Geminin heterodimer binds Cdt1 less strongly than Geminin-Geminin, still with high affinity (∼30 nm), but with notably different thermodynamic properties. Consistently, in Xenopus egg extracts, Idas-Geminin is less active in licensing inhibition compared with a Geminin-Geminin homodimer. In human cultured cells, ectopic expression of Idas leads to limited over-replication, which is counteracted by Geminin co-expression. The properties of the Idas-Geminin complex suggest it as the functional form of Idas and provide a possible mechanism to modulate Geminin activity. 相似文献

DNA lesions occur across the genome and constitute a threat to cell viability; however, damage at specific genomic loci has a relatively greater impact on overall genome stability. The ribosomal RNA gene repeats (rDNA) are emerging fragile sites. Recent progress in understanding how the rDNA damage response is organized has highlighted a key role of adaptor proteins. Here, we show that the scaffold tumor suppressor RASSF1A is recruited to rDNA breaks. RASSF1A recruitment to double‐strand breaks is mediated by 53BP1 and depends on RASSF1A phosphorylation at Serine 131 by ATM kinase. Employing targeted rDNA damage, we uncover that RASSF1A recruitment promotes local ATM signaling. RASSF1A silencing, a common epigenetic event during malignant transformation, results in persistent breaks, rDNA copy number alterations and decreased cell viability. Overall, we identify a novel role for RASSF1A at rDNA break sites, provide mechanistic insight into how the DNA damage response is organized in a chromatin context, and provide further evidence for how silencing of the RASSF1A tumor suppressor contributes to genome instability. 相似文献
