J Biochem 2024; 176:325-338.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major DNA repair system and hereditary defects in this system cause critical genetic diseases (e.g. xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome and trichothiodystrophy). Various proteins are involved in the eukaryotic NER system and undergo several post-translational modifications. Damaged DNA-binding protein 2 (DDB2) is a DNA damage recognition factor in the NER pathway. We previously demonstrated that DDB2 was SUMOylated in response to UV irradiation; however, its physiological roles remain unclear. We herein analysed several mutants and showed that the N-terminal tail of DDB2 was the target for SUMOylation; however, this region did not contain a consensus SUMOylation sequence. We found a SUMO-interacting motif (SIM) in the N-terminal tail that facilitated SUMOylation. The ubiquitination of a SUMOylation-deficient DDB2 SIM mutant was decreased, and its retention of chromatin was prolonged. The SIM mutant showed impaired NER, possibly due to a decline in the timely handover of the lesion site to XP complementation group C. These results suggest that the SUMOylation of DDB2 facilitates NER through enhancements in ubiquitination.

Prognostic value of nucleotide excision repair and translesion DNA synthesis proteins in muscle-infiltrating bladder carcinoma. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:1103. [PMID: 39237917 PMCID: PMC11376035 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12865-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CDDP) remains a key agent in the treatment of muscle-infiltrating bladder carcinoma (MIBC). However, a proportion of MIBC patients do not respond to chemotherapy, which may be caused by the increased repair of CDDP-induced DNA damage. The purpose of this study was to explore the prognostic value of proteins involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) in MIBC patients. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 86 MIBC patients. The XPA, XPF, XPG, ERCC1, POLI, POLH and REV3L proteins were stained in primary bladder tumors and their levels were analyzed both in the total cohort and in a subgroup with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) that received gemcitabine and CDDP as a first-line therapy. Both cohorts were divided by percentage of cancer cells stained positive for each protein into subgroups with high and low expression. In the same manner, the combined expression of NER (XPA + ERCC1 + XPF + XPG) and TLS (POLI + POLH + REV3L), as the whole pathways, was analyzed. RESULTS Mortality was 89.5% at the median follow-up of 120.2 months. In the total cohort, patients with tumors stained positive for XPA, XPG and POLI had significantly worse overall survival (OS) compared to those with negative staining [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.60, 0.62 and 0.53, respectively]. Both XPG and POLI were independent prognostic factors in multivariate analyses (MVA). In addition, an increase in NER and TLS pathway expression was significantly associated with worse OS in the total cohort (HR = 0.54 and 0.60, respectively). In the mUC subgroup, high POLI expression was associated with significant deterioration of OS (HR = 0.56) in univariate analyses, and its independent prognostic value was shown in MVA. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed significant correlations between the tumor expression of XPG and POLI, as well as NER and TLS as the whole pathways, and inferior OS. Hence, they could constitute prognostic biomarkers and potentially promising therapeutic targets in MIBC. However, a prospective trial is required for further validation, thereby overcoming the limitations of this study.

Abstract
In transcription-coupled repair, stalled RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is recognized by CSB and CRL4CSA, which co-operate with UVSSSA and ELOF1 to recruit TFIIH for nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER). To explore the mechanism of TC-NER, we recapitulated this reaction in vitro. When a plasmid containing a site-specific lesion is transcribed in frog egg extract, error-free repair is observed that depends on CSB, CRL4CSA, UVSSA, and ELOF1. Repair also depends on STK19, a factor previously implicated in transcription recovery after UV exposure. A 1.9 Å cryo-electron microscopy structure shows that STK19 joins the TC-NER complex by binding CSA and the RPB1 subunit of Pol II. Furthermore, AlphaFold predicts that STK19 interacts with the XPD subunit of TFIIH, and disrupting this interface impairs cell-free repair. Molecular modeling suggests that STK19 positions TFIIH ahead of Pol II for lesion verification. In summary, our analysis of cell-free TC-NER suggests that STK19 couples RNA polymerase II stalling to downstream repair events.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) removes bulky DNA lesions impeding RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. Recent studies have outlined the stepwise assembly of TCR factors CSB, CSA, UVSSA, and TFIIH around lesion-stalled RNAPII. However, the mechanism and factors required for the transition to downstream repair steps, including RNAPII removal to provide repair proteins access to the DNA lesion, remain unclear. Here, we identify STK19 as a new TCR factor facilitating this transition. Loss of STK19 does not impact initial TCR complex assembly or RNAPII ubiquitylation but delays lesion-stalled RNAPII clearance, thereby interfering with the downstream repair reaction. Cryo-EM and mutational analysis reveal that STK19 associates with the TCR complex, positioning itself between RNAPII, UVSSA, and CSA. The structural insights and molecular modeling suggest that STK19 positions the ATPase subunits of TFIIH onto DNA in front of RNAPII. Together, these findings provide new insights into the factors and mechanisms required for TCR.

Abstract
During transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR), RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transitions from a transcriptionally active state to an arrested state that allows for removal of DNA lesions. This transition requires site-specific ubiquitylation of Pol II by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase, a process that is facilitated by ELOF1 in an unknown way. Using cryogenic electron microscopy, biochemical assays and cell biology approaches, we found that ELOF1 serves as an adaptor to stably position UVSSA and CRL4CSA on arrested Pol II, leading to ligase neddylation and activation of Pol II ubiquitylation. In the presence of ELOF1, a transcription factor IIS (TFIIS)-like element in UVSSA gets ordered and extends through the Pol II pore, thus preventing reactivation of Pol II by TFIIS. Our results provide the structural basis for Pol II ubiquitylation and inactivation in TCR.

Abstract
Human Replication Protein A (RPA) was historically discovered as one of the six components needed to reconstitute simian virus 40 DNA replication from purified components. RPA is now known to be involved in all DNA metabolism pathways that involve single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Heterotrimeric RPA comprises several domains connected by flexible linkers and is heavily regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). The structure of RPA has been challenging to obtain. Various structural methods have been applied, but a complete understanding of RPA's flexible structure, its function, and how it is regulated by PTMs has yet to be obtained. This review will summarize recent literature concerning how RPA is phosphorylated in the cell cycle, the structural analysis of RPA, DNA and protein interactions involving RPA, and how PTMs regulate RPA activity and complex formation in double-strand break repair. There are many holes in our understanding of this research area. We will conclude with perspectives for future research on how RPA PTMs control double-strand break repair in the cell cycle.

Abstract
The joining of breaks in the DNA phosphodiester backbone is essential for genome integrity. Breaks are generated during normal processes such as DNA replication, cytosine demethylation during differentiation, gene rearrangement in the immune system and germ cell development. In addition, they are generated either directly by a DNA damaging agent or indirectly due to damage excision during repair. Breaks are joined by a DNA ligase that catalyzes phosphodiester bond formation at DNA nicks with 3' hydroxyl and 5' phosphate termini. Three human genes encode ATP-dependent DNA ligases. These enzymes have a conserved catalytic core consisting of three subdomains that encircle nicked duplex DNA during ligation. The DNA ligases are targeted to different nuclear DNA transactions by specific protein-protein interactions. Both DNA ligase IIIα and DNA ligase IV form stable complexes with DNA repair proteins, XRCC1 and XRCC4, respectively. There is functional redundancy between DNA ligase I and DNA ligase IIIα in DNA replication, excision repair and single-strand break repair. Although DNA ligase IV is a core component of the major double-strand break repair pathway, non-homologous end joining, the other enzymes participate in minor, alternative double-strand break repair pathways. In contrast to the nucleus, only DNA ligase IIIα is present in mitochondria and is essential for maintaining the mitochondrial genome. Human immunodeficiency syndromes caused by mutations in either LIG1 or LIG4 have been described. Preclinical studies with DNA ligase inhibitors have identified potentially targetable abnormalities in cancer cells and evidence that DNA ligases are potential targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is responsible for removing a wide variety of bulky adducts from DNA, thus contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. The efficiency with which proteins of the NER system recognize and remove bulky adducts depends on many factors and is of great clinical and diagnostic significance. The review examines current concepts of the NER system molecular basis in eukaryotic cells and analyzes methods for the assessment of the NER-mediated DNA repair efficiency both in vitro and ex vivo.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) is an important genome maintenance system that preferentially removes DNA lesions on the transcribed strand of actively transcribed genes, including non-coding genes. TC-NER involves lesion recognition by the initiation complex consisting of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and Cockayne syndrome group B (CSB), followed by NER-catalyzed lesion removal. However, the efficient lesion removal requires the initiation complex to yield the right of way to the excision machinery, and how this occurs in a timely manner is unknown. Here we show that heat shock protein DNAJA2 facilitates the HSC70 chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) to degrade CSB during TC-NER. DNAJA2 interacts with and enables HSC70 to recognize sumoylated CSB. This triggers the removal of both CSB and Pol II from the lesion site in a manner dependent on lysosome receptor LAMP2A. Defects in DNAJA2, HSC70 or LAMP2A abolish CSB degradation and block TC-NER. Our findings discover DNAJA2-mediated CMA as a critical regulator of TC-NER, implicating the DNAJA2-HSC70-CMA axis factors in genome maintenance.

Abstract
DNA in eukaryotic cells is packaged into the compact and dynamic structure of chromatin. This packaging is a double-edged sword for DNA repair and genomic stability. Chromatin restricts the access of repair proteins to DNA lesions embedded in nucleosomes and higher order chromatin structures. However, chromatin also serves as a signaling platform in which post-translational modifications of histones and other chromatin-bound proteins promote lesion recognition and repair. Similarly, chromatin modulates the formation of DNA damage, promoting or suppressing lesion formation depending on the chromatin context. Therefore, the modulation of DNA damage and its repair in chromatin is crucial to our understanding of the fate of potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic lesions in DNA. Here, we survey many of the landmark findings on DNA damage and repair in chromatin over the last 50 years (i.e., since the beginning of this field), focusing on excision repair, the first repair mechanism studied in the chromatin landscape. For example, we highlight how the impact of chromatin on these processes explains the distinct patterns of somatic mutations observed in cancer genomes.

Abstract
The hormonal form of vitamin D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, reduces UV-induced DNA damage. UV exposure initiates pre-vitamin D3 production in the skin, and continued UV exposure photoisomerizes pre-vitamin D3 to produce "over-irradiation products" such as lumisterol3 (L3). Cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1) in skin catalyzes the conversion of L3 to produce three main derivatives: 24-hydroxy-L3 [24(OH)L3], 22-hydroxy-L3 [22(OH)L3], and 20,22-dihydroxy-L3 [20,22(OH)L3]. The current study investigated the photoprotective properties of the major over-irradiation metabolite, 24(OH)L3, in human primary keratinocytes and human skin explants. The results indicated that treatment immediately after UV with either 24(OH)L3 or 1,25(OH)2D3 reduced UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and oxidative DNA damage, with similar concentration response curves in keratinocytes, although in skin explants, 1,25(OH)2D3 was more potent. The reductions in DNA damage by both compounds were, at least in part, the result of increased DNA repair through increased energy availability via increased glycolysis, as well as increased DNA damage recognition proteins in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. Reductions in UV-induced DNA photolesions by either compound occurred in the presence of lower reactive oxygen species. The results indicated that under in vitro and ex vivo conditions, 24(OH)L3 provided photoprotection against UV damage similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3.

Abstract
Faithful DNA replication is essential for all life. A multi-protein complex called the replisome contains all the enzymatic activities required to facilitate DNA replication, including unwinding parental DNA and synthesizing two identical daughter molecules. Faithful DNA replication can be challenged by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which can result in roadblocks to replication, causing incomplete replication, genomic instability, and an increased mutational load. This increased mutational load can ultimately lead to a number of diseases, a notable example being cancer. A key example of a roadblock to replication is chemical modifications in the DNA caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. Protein dynamics are thought to play a crucial role to the molecular pathways that occur in the presence of such DNA lesions, including potential damage bypass. Therefore, many assays have been developed to study these dynamics. In this review, we discuss three methods that can be used to study protein dynamics during replisome–lesion encounters in replication reactions reconstituted from purified proteins. Specifically, we focus on ensemble biochemical assays, single-molecule fluorescence, and cryo-electron microscopy. We discuss two key model DNA replication systems, derived from Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The main methods of choice to study replication over the last decades have involved biochemical assays that rely on ensemble averaging. While these assays do not provide a direct readout of protein dynamics, they can often be inferred. More recently, single-molecule techniques including single-molecule fluorescence microscopy have been used to visualize replisomes encountering lesions in real time. In these experiments, individual proteins can be fluorescently labeled in order to observe the dynamics of specific proteins during DNA replication. Finally, cryo-electron microscopy can provide detailed structures of individual replisome components, which allows functional data to be interpreted in a structural context. While classic cryo-electron microscopy approaches provide static information, recent developments such as time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy help to bridge the gap between static structures and dynamic single-molecule techniques by visualizing sequential steps in biochemical pathways. In combination, these techniques will be capable of visualizing DNA replication and lesion encounter dynamics in real time, whilst observing the structural changes that facilitate these dynamics.

Abstract
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and lethal infectious disease of domestic pigs and wild boars by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASFV infects domestic pigs with the mortality rate approaching 100 % at acute stage of infection. The cGAS-STING-mediated antiviral responses are wildly accepted that cGAS acts as DNA sensor for sensing of viral DNA during DNA virus infection. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying negatively regulation of cGAS-STING signaling and type I IFN (IFN-I) production by ASFV proteins are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrated that ASFV pE301R antagonize the activities of IFN-β-, NF-κB-, ISRE-luciferase (Luc) reporters-induced by cGAS-STING in a dose dependent manner. Consistent with these results, the mRNA levels of Ifnb1, Isg15, Isg56 are attenuated by ASFV pE301R. Furthermore, ASFV pE301R executes its inhibitory function at the downstream of IFN-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) phosphorylation. Mechanistically, pE301R interacts with IRF3 via its amino acid (aa) 1-200 region, resulting in inhibition of the nuclear translocation of IRF3 induced by cGAMP and poly(dA:dT). Overall, our findings reveal that pE301R acts as a negatively regulator to inhibit IFN-I production and to subvert host antiviral innate immunity during ASFV infection.

Abstract
Cells employ global genome nucleotide excision repair (GGR) to eliminate a broad spectrum of DNA lesions, including those induced by UV light. The lesion-recognition factor XPC initiates repair of helix-destabilizing DNA lesions, but binds poorly to lesions such as CPDs that do not destabilize DNA. How difficult-to-repair lesions are detected in chromatin is unknown. Here, we identify the poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerases PARP1 and PARP2 as constitutive interactors of XPC. Their interaction results in the XPC-stimulated synthesis of poly-(ADP-ribose) (PAR) by PARP1 at UV lesions, which in turn enables the recruitment and activation of the PAR-regulated chromatin remodeler ALC1. PARP2, on the other hand, modulates the retention of ALC1 at DNA damage sites. Notably, ALC1 mediates chromatin expansion at UV-induced DNA lesions, leading to the timely clearing of CPD lesions. Thus, we reveal how chromatin containing difficult-to-repair DNA lesions is primed for repair, providing insight into mechanisms of chromatin plasticity during GGR. Cells employ global genome nucleotide excision repair to repair a broad spectrum of genomic DNA lesions. Here, the authors reveal how chromatin is primed for repair, providing insight into mechanisms of chromatin plasticity during DNA repair.

Abstract
RFC uses ATP to assemble PCNA onto primed sites for replicative DNA polymerases d and e. The RFC pentamer forms a central chamber that binds 3' ss/ds DNA junctions to load PCNA onto DNA during replication. We show here five structures that identify a 2nd DNA binding site in RFC that binds a 5' duplex. This 5' DNA site is located between the N-terminal BRCT domain and AAA+ module of the large Rfc1 subunit. Our structures reveal ideal binding to a 7-nt gap, which includes 2 bp unwound by the clamp loader. Biochemical studies show enhanced binding to 5 and 10 nt gaps, consistent with the structural results. Because both 3' and 5' ends are present at a ssDNA gap, we propose that the 5' site facilitates RFC's PCNA loading activity at a DNA damage-induced gap to recruit gap-filling polymerases. These findings are consistent with genetic studies showing that base excision repair of gaps greater than 1 base requires PCNA and involves the 5' DNA binding domain of Rfc1. We further observe that a 5' end facilitates PCNA loading at an RPA coated 30-nt gap, suggesting a potential role of the RFC 5'-DNA site in lagging strand DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major pathway to deal with bulky adducts induced by various environmental toxins in all cellular organisms. The two sub-pathways of NER, global genome repair (GGR) and transcription-coupled repair (TCR), differ in the damage recognition modes. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanism of NER in mammalian cells, especially the details of damage recognition steps in both sub-pathways. We also introduce new sequencing methods for genome-wide mapping of NER, as well as recent advances about NER in chromatin by these methods. Finally, the roles of NER factors in repairing oxidative damages and resolving R-loops are discussed.

Abstract
Genomic DNA is constantly attacked by a plethora of DNA damaging agents both from endogenous and exogenous sources. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the most versatile repair pathway that recognizes and removes a wide range of bulky and/or helix-distorting DNA lesions. Even though the molecular mechanism of NER is well studied through in vitro system, the NER process inside the cell is more complicated because the genomic DNA in eukaryotes is tightly packaged into chromosomes and compacted into a nucleus. Epigenetic modifications regulate gene activity and expression without changing the DNA sequence. The dynamics of epigenetic regulation play a crucial role during the in vivo NER process. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the epigenetic regulation of NER.

Although the core factors and basic stages involved in NER have been identified, the mechanisms of the NER machinery are not well understood. This review summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms and order of assembly in the core global genome (GG-NER) pathway.

Abstract
Genomic stability maintenance requires correct DNA replication, chromosome segregation, and DNA repair, while defects of these processes result in tumor development or cell death. Although abnormalities in DNA replication and repair regulation are proposed as underlying causes for genomic instability, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether NKX6.3 plays a role in the maintenance of genomic stability in gastric epithelial cells. NKX6.3 functioned as a transcription factor for CDT1 and RPA1, and its depletion increased replication fork rate, and fork asymmetry. Notably, we showed that abnormal DNA replication by the depletion of NKX6.3 caused DNA damage and induced homologous recombination inhibition. Depletion of NKX6.3 also caused copy number alterations of various genes in the vast chromosomal region. Hence, our findings underscore NKX6.3 might be a crucial factor of DNA replication and repair regulation from genomic instability in gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
Global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) eliminates a broad spectrum of DNA lesions from genomic DNA. Genomic DNA is tightly wrapped around histones creating a barrier for DNA repair proteins to access DNA lesions buried in nucleosomal DNA. The DNA-damage sensors XPC and DDB2 recognize DNA lesions in nucleosomal DNA and initiate repair. The emerging view is that a tight interplay between XPC and DDB2 is regulated by post-translational modifications on the damage sensors themselves as well as on chromatin containing DNA lesions. The choreography between XPC and DDB2, their interconnection with post-translational modifications such as ubiquitylation, SUMOylation, methylation, poly(ADP-ribos)ylation, acetylation, and the functional links with chromatin remodelling activities regulate not only the initial recognition of DNA lesions in nucleosomes, but also the downstream recruitment and necessary displacement of GG-NER factors as repair progresses. In this review, we highlight how nucleotide excision repair leaves a mark on chromatin to enable DNA damage detection in nucleosomes.

Abstract
Lesions in genes that result in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) stalling or arrest are particularly toxic as they are a focal point of genome instability and potently block further transcription of the affected gene. Thus, cells have evolved the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway to identify damage-stalled RNAPIIs, so that the lesion can be rapidly repaired and transcription can continue. However, despite the identification of several factors required for TC-NER, how RNAPII is remodelled, modified, removed, or whether this is even necessary for repair remains enigmatic, and theories are intensely contested. Recent studies have further detailed the cellular response to UV-induced ubiquitylation and degradation of RNAPII and its consequences for transcription and repair. These advances make it pertinent to revisit the TC-NER process in general and with specific discussion of the fate of RNAPII stalled at DNA lesions.

Abstract
UVBR-induced photolesions in genomic DNA of keratinocytes impair cellular functions and potentially determine the cell fate post-irradiation. The ability of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) to rescue epidermal keratinocytes after photodamage via apoptosis prevention and photolesion removal was recently demonstrated using in vitro two-dimensional and three-dimensional skin models. Given the limited knowledge of specific signalling cascades contributing to post-UVBR IGF-I effects, we used inhibitors to investigate the impact of blockade of various signalling mediators on IGF-I photoprotection. IGF-I treatment, in the presence of signalling inhibitors, particularly TDRL-505, which targets replication protein A (RPA), impaired activation of IGF-1R downstream signalling, diminished cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer removal, arrested growth, reduced cell survival and increased apoptosis. Further, the transient partial knockdown of RPA was found to abrogate IGF-I-mediated responses in keratinocytes, ultimately affecting photoprotection and, thereby, establishing that RPA is required for IGF-I function. Our findings thus elucidate the importance of RPA in linking the damage response activation, cell cycle regulation, repair and survival pathways, separately initiated by IGF-I upon UVBR-induced damage. This information is potentially imperative for the development of effective sunburn and photodamage repair strategies. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Since its discovery by Abraham Trembley in 1744, hydra has been a popular research organism. Features like spectacular regeneration capacity, peculiar tissue dynamics, continuous pattern formation, unique evolutionary position, and an apparent lack of organismal senescence make hydra an intriguing animal to study. While a large body of work has taken place, particularly in the domain of evolutionary developmental biology of hydra, in recent years, the focus has shifted to molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena. DNA repair is a fundamental cellular process that helps to maintain integrity of the genome through multiple repair pathways found across taxa, from archaea to higher animals. DNA repair capacity and senescence are known to be closely associated, with mutations in several repair pathways leading to premature ageing phenotypes. Analysis of DNA repair in an animal like hydra could offer clues into several aspects including hydra’s purported lack of organismal ageing, evolution of DNA repair systems in metazoa, and alternative functions of repair proteins. We review here the different DNA repair mechanisms known so far in hydra. Hydra genes from various DNA repair pathways show very high similarity with their vertebrate orthologues, indicating conservation at the level of sequence, structure, and function. Notably, most hydra repair genes are more similar to deuterostome counterparts than to common model invertebrates, hinting at ancient evolutionary origins of repair pathways and further highlighting the relevance of organisms like hydra as model systems. It appears that hydra has the full repertoire of DNA repair pathways, which are employed in stress as well as normal physiological conditions and may have a link with its observed lack of senescence. The close correspondence of hydra repair genes with higher vertebrates further demonstrates the need for deeper studies of various repair components, their interconnections, and functions in this early metazoan.

Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 6 Gene Polymorphism Is Associated with the Response to FOLFIRINOX Chemotherapy in Asian Patients with Pancreatic Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13061196. [PMID: 33801891 PMCID: PMC7998301 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary FOLFIRINOX is a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for patients with pancreatic cancer and is known to be more effective in the presence of the BRCA mutation, one of the DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations. However, BRCA mutations are less common in pancreatic cancer patients, accounting for only about 5% of cases worldwide, and are known to be even rarer in Asians. Therefore, this study aimed to uncover new genetic variants of DDR genes related to the response of FOLFIRINOX by analyzing variants of DDR genes using whole exome sequencing. Multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for clinical variables showed that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the ERCC6 gene is an independent predictor for progression-free survival. If validated, the ERCC6 SNP found in this study could be used as a biomarker to predict responses to FOLFIRINOX. Abstract FOLFIRINOX is currently one of the standard chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer patients, but little is known about the factors that can predict a response to it. We performed a study to discover novel DNA damage repair (DDR) gene variants associated with the response to FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer. We queried a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients who received FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy as the first treatment and who had tissue obtained through an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy that was suitable for DNA sequencing. We explored variants of 148 DDR genes based on whole exome sequencing and performed multivariate Cox regression to find genetic variants associated with progression-free survival (PFS). Overall, 103 patients were included. Among 2384 variants of 141 DDR genes, 612 non-synonymous variants of 123 genes were selected for Cox regression analysis. The multivariate Cox model showed that rs2228528 in ERCC6 was significantly associated with improved PFS (hazard ratio 0.54, p = 0.001). The median PFS was significantly longer in patients with rs2228528 genotype AA vs. genotype GA and GG (23.5 vs. 16.2 and 8.6 months; log-rank p < 0.001). This study suggests that rs2228528 in ERCC6 could be a potential predictor of response to FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Defects in DNA repair pathways and alterations of mitochondrial energy metabolism have been reported in multiple skin disorders. More than 10% of patients with primary mitochondrial dysfunction exhibit dermatological features including rashes and hair and pigmentation abnormalities. Accumulation of oxidative DNA damage and dysfunctional mitochondria affect cellular homeostasis leading to increased apoptosis. Emerging evidence demonstrates that genetic disorders of premature aging that alter DNA repair pathways and cause mitochondrial dysfunction, such as Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, Werner syndrome, and Cockayne syndrome, also exhibit skin disease. This article summarizes recent advances in the research pertaining to these syndromes and molecular mechanisms underlying their skin pathologies.

Abstract
We have previously reported that the deletion of BMAL1 gene has opposite effects in respect to its contribution to the pathways that are effective in the multistage carcinogenesis process. BMAL1 deletion sensitized nearly normal breast epithelial (MCF10A) and invasive breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) to cisplatin- and doxorubicin-induced apoptosis, while this deletion also aggravated the invasive potential of MDA-MB-231 cells. However, the mechanistic relationship of the seemingly opposite contribution of BMAL1 deletion to carcinogenesis process is not known at genome-wide level. In this study, an RNA-seq approach was taken to uncover the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways after treating BMAL1 knockout (KO) or wild-type (WT) MDA-MB-231 cells with cisplatin and doxorubicin to initiate apoptosis. Gene set enrichment analysis with the DEGs demonstrated that enrichment in multiple genes/pathways contributes to sensitization to cisplatin- or doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in BMAL1-dependent manner. Additionally, our DEG analysis suggested that non-coding transcript RNA (such as lncRNA and processed pseudogenes) may have role in cisplatin- or doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Protein-protein interaction network obtained from common DEGs in cisplatin and doxorubicin treatments revealed that GSK3β, NACC1, and EGFR are the principal genes regulating the response of the KO cells. Moreover, the analysis of DEGs among untreated BMAL1 KO and WT cells revealed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes are up-regulated in KO cells. As a negative control, we have also analyzed the DEGs following treatment with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-inducing agent, tunicamycin, which was affected by BMAL1 deletion minimally. Collectively, the present study suggests that BMAL1 regulates many genes/pathways of which the alteration in BMAL1 KO cells may shed light on pleotropic phenotype observed.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the most versatile DNA repair pathway that removes a wide variety of DNA lesions caused by different types of physical and chemical agents, such as ultraviolet radiation (UV), environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene and anti-cancer drug carboplatin. The mammalian NER utilizes more than 30 proteins, in a multi-step process that begins with the lesion recognition within seconds of DNA damage to completion of repair after few hours to several days. The core proteins and their biochemical reactions are known from in vitro DNA repair assays using purified proteins, but challenge was to understand the dynamics of their rapid recruitment and departure from the lesion site and their coordination with other proteins and post-translational modifications to execute the sequential steps of repair. Here, we provide a brief overview of various techniques developed by different groups over last 20 years to overcome these challenges. However, more work is needed for a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of mammalian NER. With this aim, here we provide detailed protocols of three simple yet innovative methods developed by many teams that range from local UVC irradiation to in situ extraction and sub-cellular fractionation that will permit study of endogenous as well as exogenous NER proteins in any cellular model. These methods do not require unique reagents or specialized instruments, and will allow many more laboratories to explore this repair pathway in different models. These techniques would reveal intracellular movement of these proteins to the DNA lesion site, their interactions with other proteins during repair and the effect of post-translational modifications on their functions. We also describe how these methods led us to identify hitherto unexpected role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) in NER. Collectively these three simple techniques can provide an initial assessment of the functions of known and unknown proteins in the core or auxiliary events associated with mammalian NER. The results from these techniques could serve as a solid foundation and a justification for more detailed studies in NER using specialized reagents and more sophisticated tools. They can also be suitably modified to study other cellular processes beyond DNA repair.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurs frequently in the human Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) syndrome and is characterized by deficient UV-damage repair. SCC is the most common equine ocular cancer and the only associated genetic risk factor is a UV-damage repair protein. Specifically, a missense mutation in horse DDB2 (T338M) was strongly associated with both limbal SCC and third eyelid SCC in three breeds of horses (Halflinger, Belgian, and Rocky Mountain Horses) and was hypothesized to impair binding to UV-damaged DNA. Here, we investigate DDB2-T338M mutant's capacity to recognize UV lesions in vitro and in vivo, together with human XP mutants DDB2-R273H and -K244E. We show that the recombinant DDB2-T338M assembles with DDB1, but fails to show any detectable binding to DNA substrates with or without UV lesions, due to a potential structural disruption of the rigid DNA recognition β-loop. Consistently, we demonstrate that the cellular DDB2-T338M is defective in its recruitment to focally radiated DNA damages, and in its access to chromatin. Thus, we provide direct functional evidence indicating the DDB2-T338M recapitulates molecular defects of human XP mutants, and is the causal loss-of-function allele that gives rise to equine ocular SCCs. Our findings shed new light on the mechanism of DNA recognition by UV-DDB and on the initiation of ocular malignancy.

Genetic Variants in DNA Repair Pathways as Potential Biomarkers in Predicting Treatment Outcome of Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Peritoneal Metastasis: A Systematic Review.

Abstract
Background The introduction of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with either oxaliplatin or mitomycin C for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CPM) has resulted in a major increase in overall survival. Nonetheless, despite critical patient selection, the majority of patients will develop recurrent disease within one year following CRS + HIPEC. Therefore, improvement of patient and treatment selection is needed and may be achieved by the incorporation of genetic biomarkers. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of genetic biomarkers in the DNA repair pathway that are potentially predictive for treatment outcome of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases treated with CRS + HIPEC with oxaliplatin or mitomycin C. Methods A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Given the limited number of genetic association studies of intraperitoneal mitomycin C and oxaliplatin in patients with CPM, we expanded the review and extrapolated the data from biomarker studies conducted in colorectal cancer patients treated with systemic mitomycin C– and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Results In total, 43 papers were included in this review. No study reported potential pharmacogenomic biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing mitomycin C–based chemotherapy. For oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, a total of 26 genetic biomarkers within 14 genes were identified that were significantly associated with treatment outcome. The most promising genetic biomarkers were ERCC1 rs11615, XPC rs1043953, XPD rs13181, XPG rs17655, MNAT rs3783819/rs973063/rs4151330, MMR status, ATM protein expression, HIC1 tandem repeat D17S5, and PIN1 rs2233678. Conclusion Several genetic biomarkers have proven predictive value for the treatment outcome of systemically administered oxaliplatin. By extrapolation, these genetic biomarkers may also be predictive for the efficacy of intraperitoneal oxaliplatin. This should be the subject of further investigation.

Abstract
The heterotrimeric eukaryotic Replication protein A (RPA) is a master regulator of numerous DNA metabolic processes. For a long time, it has been viewed as an inert protector of ssDNA and a platform for assembly of various genome maintenance and signaling machines. Later, the modular organization of the RPA DNA binding domains suggested a possibility for dynamic interaction with ssDNA. This modular organization has inspired several models for the RPA-ssDNA interaction that aimed to explain how RPA, the high-affinity ssDNA binding protein, is replaced by the downstream players in DNA replication, recombination, and repair that bind ssDNA with much lower affinity. Recent studies, and in particular single-molecule observations of RPA-ssDNA interactions, led to the development of a new model for the ssDNA handoff from RPA to a specific downstream factor where not only stability and structural rearrangements but also RPA conformational dynamics guide the ssDNA handoff. Here we will review the current knowledge of the RPA structure, its dynamic interaction with ssDNA, and how RPA conformational dynamics may be influenced by posttranslational modification and proteins that interact with RPA, as well as how RPA dynamics may be harnessed in cellular decision making.

Abstract
Exposure of skin cells to UV radiation results in DNA damage, which if inadequately repaired, may cause mutations. UV-induced DNA damage and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species also cause local and systemic suppression of the adaptive immune system. Together, these changes underpin the development of skin tumours. The hormone derived from vitamin D, calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) and other related compounds, working via the vitamin D receptor and at least in part through endoplasmic reticulum protein 57 (ERp57), reduce cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and oxidative DNA damage in keratinocytes and other skin cell types after UV. Calcitriol and related compounds enhance DNA repair in keratinocytes, in part through decreased reactive oxygen species, increased p53 expression and/or activation, increased repair proteins and increased energy availability in the cell when calcitriol is present after UV exposure. There is mitochondrial damage in keratinocytes after UV. In the presence of calcitriol, but not vehicle, glycolysis is increased after UV, along with increased energy-conserving autophagy and changes consistent with enhanced mitophagy. Reduced DNA damage and reduced ROS/RNS should help reduce UV-induced immune suppression. Reduced UV immune suppression is observed after topical treatment with calcitriol and related compounds in hairless mice. These protective effects of calcitriol and related compounds presumably contribute to the observed reduction in skin tumour formation in mice after chronic exposure to UV followed by topical post-irradiation treatment with calcitriol and some, though not all, related compounds.

Abstract
The OECD guidelines define the bioassays of identifying mutagenic chemicals, including the thymidine kinase (TK) assay, which specifically detects the mutations that inactivate the TK gene in the human TK6 lymphoid line. However, the sensitivity of this assay is limited because it detects mutations occurring only in the TK gene but not any other genes. Moreover, the limited sensitivity of the conventional TK assay is caused by the usage of DNA repair-proficient wild-type cells, which are capable of accurately repairing DNA damage induced by chemicals. Mutagenic chemicals produce a variety of DNA lesions, including base lesions, sugar damage, crosslinks, and strand breaks. Base damage causes point mutations and is repaired by the base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways. To increase the sensitivity of TK assay, we simultaneously disrupted two genes encoding XRCC1, an important BER factor, and XPA, which is essential for NER, generating XRCC1 -/- /XPA -/- cells from TK6 cells. We measured the mutation frequency induced by four typical mutagenic agents, methyl methane sulfonate (MMS), cis-diamminedichloro-platinum(II) (cisplatin, CDDP), mitomycin-C (MMC), and cyclophosphamide (CP) by the conventional TK assay using wild-type TK6 cells and also by the TK assay using XRCC1 -/- /XPA -/- cells. The usage of XRCC1 -/- /XPA -/- cells increased the sensitivity of detecting the mutagenicity by 8.6 times for MMC, 8.5 times for CDDP, and 2.6 times for MMS in comparison with the conventional TK assay. In conclusion, the usage of XRCC1 -/- /XPA -/- cells will significantly improve TK assay.

Abstract
Assessment of DNA repair is an important endpoint measurement when studying the biochemical mechanisms of the DNA damage response and when investigating the efficacy of chemotherapy, which often uses DNA-damaging compounds. Numerous in vitro methods to biochemically characterize DNA repair mechanisms have been developed so far. However, such methods have some limitations, which are mainly due to the lack of chromatin organization in the DNA templates used. Here we describe a functional cell-free system to study DNA repair synthesis in vitro, using G1-phase nuclei isolated from human cells treated with different genotoxic agents. Upon incubation in the corresponding damage-activated cytosolic extracts, containing biotinylated dUTP, nuclei were able to initiate DNA repair synthesis. The use of specific DNA synthesis inhibitors markedly decreased biotinylated dUTP incorporation, indicating the specificity of the repair response. Exogenously added human recombinant PCNA protein, but not the sensors of UV-DNA damage DDB2 and DDB1, stimulated UVC-induced dUTP incorporation. In contrast, a DDB2PCNA- mutant protein, unable to associate with PCNA, interfered with DNA repair synthesis. Given its responsiveness to different types of DNA lesions, this system offers an additional tool to study DNA repair mechanisms.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
UV-damaged DNA binding protein (UV-DDB) is a heterodimeric complex, composed of DDB1 and DDB2, and is involved in global genome nucleotide excision repair. Mutations in DDB2 are associated with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E. UV-DDB forms a ubiquitin E3 ligase complex with cullin-4A and RBX that helps to relax chromatin around UV-induced photoproducts through the ubiquitination of histone H2A. After providing a brief historical perspective on UV-DDB, we review our current knowledge of the structure and function of this intriguing repair protein. Finally, this article discusses emerging data suggesting that UV-DDB may have other non-canonical roles in base excision repair and the etiology of cancer.

Nucleic Acids Res 2020; 48:1652-1668.

Abstract
The excision of mutagenic DNA adducts by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is essential for genome stability, which is key to avoiding genetic diseases, premature aging, cancer and neurologic disorders. Due to the need to process an extraordinarily high damage density embedded in the nucleosome landscape of chromatin, NER activity provides a unique functional caliper to understand how histone modifiers modulate DNA damage responses. At least three distinct lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) targeting histones have been shown to facilitate the detection of ultraviolet (UV) light-induced DNA lesions in the difficult to access DNA wrapped around histones in nucleosomes. By methylating core histones, these KMTs generate docking sites for DNA damage recognition factors before the chromatin structure is ultimately relaxed and the offending lesions are effectively excised. In view of their function in priming nucleosomes for DNA repair, mutations of genes coding for these KMTs are expected to cause the accumulation of DNA damage promoting cancer and other chronic diseases. Research on the question of how KMTs modulate DNA repair might pave the way to the development of pharmacologic agents for novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) is initiated by the stalling of elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPIIo) at DNA lesions. The ubiquitination of RNAPIIo in response to DNA damage is an evolutionarily conserved event, but its function in mammals is unknown. Here, we identified a single DNA damage-induced ubiquitination site in RNAPII at RPB1-K1268, which regulates transcription recovery and DNA damage resistance. Mechanistically, RPB1-K1268 ubiquitination stimulates the association of the core-TFIIH complex with stalled RNAPIIo through a transfer mechanism that also involves UVSSA-K414 ubiquitination. We developed a strand-specific ChIP-seq method, which revealed RPB1-K1268 ubiquitination is important for repair and the resolution of transcriptional bottlenecks at DNA lesions. Finally, RPB1-K1268R knockin mice displayed a short life-span, premature aging, and neurodegeneration. Our results reveal RNAPII ubiquitination provides a two-tier protection mechanism by activating TC-NER and, in parallel, the processing of DNA damage-stalled RNAPIIo, which together prevent prolonged transcription arrest and protect against neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Professor Barbara Tudek received the Frits Sobels Award in 2019 from the European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EEMGS). This article presents her outstanding character and most important lines of research. The focus of her studies covered alkylative and oxidative damage to DNA bases, in particular mutagenic and carcinogenic properties of purines with an open imidazole ring and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua). They also included analysis of mutagenic properties and pathways for the repair of DNA adducts of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products arising in large quantities during inflammation. Professor Tudek did all of this in the hope of deciphering the mechanisms of DNA damage removal, in particular by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Some lines of research aimed at discovering factors that can modulate the activity of DNA damage repair in hope to enhance existing anti-cancer therapies. The group's ongoing research aims at deciphering the resistance mechanisms of cancer cell lines acquired following prolonged exposure to photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the possibility of re-sensitizing cells to PDT in order to increase the application of this minimally invasive therapeutic method.

Acetylation of XPF by TIP60 facilitates XPF-ERCC1 complex assembly and activation. Nat Commun 2020; 11:786.

Abstract
The XPF-ERCC1 heterodimer is a structure-specific endonuclease that is essential for nucleotide excision repair (NER) and interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair in mammalian cells. However, whether and how XPF binding to ERCC1 is regulated has not yet been established. Here, we show that TIP60, also known as KAT5, a haplo-insufficient tumor suppressor, directly acetylates XPF at Lys911 following UV irradiation or treatment with mitomycin C and that this acetylation is required for XPF-ERCC1 complex assembly and subsequent activation. Mechanistically, acetylation of XPF at Lys911 disrupts the Glu907-Lys911 salt bridge, thereby leading to exposure of a previously unidentified second binding site for ERCC1. Accordingly, loss of XPF acetylation impairs the damage-induced XPF-ERCC1 interaction, resulting in defects in both NER and ICL repair. Our results not only reveal a mechanism that regulates XPF-ERCC1 complex assembly and activation, but also provide important insight into the role of TIP60 in the maintenance of genome stability. The XPF-ERCC1 heterodimer is an endonuclease involved in nucleotide excision (NER) and interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair in mammalian cells. Here, the authors provide insights into its regulation by revealing that TIP60 regulates XPF-ERCC1 complex assembly and activation.

Genetic variants in RPA1 associated with the response to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer. J Gastroenterol 2019; 54:939-949.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is a commonly used first-line chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Genetic variants in nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway genes may alter genomic integrity and the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer. METHODS We investigated the association between genetic variants in 19 NER pathway genes and the disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) among 166 colorectal cancer patients who received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was performed using the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) portal. Gene harboring significant SNP was overexpressed or knocked down to demonstrate the effect on cell phenotypes with or without oxaliplatin treatment. RESULTS We found that rs5030740, located in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of RPA1, was associated with DCR [OR = 2.99 (1.33-5.69), P = 4.00 × 10-3] and PFS [HR = 1.86 (1.30-2.68), P = 7.39 × 10-4]. The C allele was significantly associated with higher RPA1 mRNA expression levels according to eQTL analysis (P = 0.010 for sigmoid colon and P = 0.004 for transverse colon). The C allele of rs5030740 disrupted let-7e-5p binding to enhance RPA1 expression. Functionally, RPA1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis, whereas RPA1 overexpression promoted proliferation and suppressed apoptosis. Furthermore, low RPA1 expression increased sensitivity to oxaliplatin in colon cancer cells and inhibited proliferation after oxaliplatin treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate an association between rs5030740 and the DCR and PFS of colorectal cancer patients. RPA1 functions as a putative oncogene in tumorigenesis by reducing sensitivity to oxaliplatin and could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The nucleotide excision repair (NER) system removes a variety of types of helix-distorting lesions from DNA through a dual incision mechanism, in which the damaged nucleotide bases are excised in the form of a small, excised, damage-containing single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide (sedDNA). Damage removal leaves a gap in the DNA template that must then be filled in by the action of a DNA polymerase and ligated to the downstream phosphodiester backbone in the DNA to complete the repair reaction. Defects in damage removal, sedDNA processing, or gap filling have the potential to be mutagenic and lethal to cells, and thus several human pathologies, including cancer and aging, are associated with defects in NER. This review summarizes our current understanding of NER with a focus on the enzymes that excise sedDNAs and restore the duplex DNA to its native state in human cells.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is one of the main DNA repair pathways that protect cells against genomic damage. Disruption of this pathway can contribute to the development of cancer and accelerate aging. Mutational characteristics of NER-deficiency may reveal important diagnostic opportunities, as tumors deficient in NER are more sensitive to certain treatments. Here, we analyzed the genome-wide somatic mutational profiles of adult stem cells (ASCs) from NER-deficient Ercc1 -/Δ mice. Our results indicate that NER-deficiency increases the base substitution load twofold in liver but not in small intestinal ASCs, which coincides with the tissue-specific aging pathology observed in these mice. Moreover, NER-deficient ASCs of both tissues show an increased contribution of Signature 8 mutations, which is a mutational pattern with unknown etiology that is recurrently observed in various cancer types. The scattered genomic distribution of the base substitutions indicates that deficiency of global-genome NER (GG-NER) underlies the observed mutational consequences. In line with this, we observe increased Signature 8 mutations in a GG-NER-deficient human organoid culture, in which XPC was deleted using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing. Furthermore, genomes of NER-deficient breast tumors show an increased contribution of Signature 8 mutations compared with NER-proficient tumors. Elevated levels of Signature 8 mutations could therefore contribute to a predictor of NER-deficiency based on a patient's mutational profile.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, the general transcription factors TFIIE and TFIIH assemble at the transcription start site with RNA Polymerase II. However, the mechanism by which these transcription factors incorporate the preinitiation complex and coordinate their action during RNA polymerase II transcription remains elusive. Here we show that the TFIIEα and TFIIEβ subunits anchor the TFIIH kinase module (CAK) within the preinitiation complex. In addition, we show that while RNA polymerase II phosphorylation and DNA opening occur, CAK and TFIIEα are released from the promoter. This dissociation is impeded by either ATP-γS or CDK7 inhibitor THZ1, but still occurs when XPB activity is abrogated. Finally, we show that the Core-TFIIH and TFIIEβ are subsequently removed, while elongation factors such as DSIF are recruited. Remarkably, these early transcriptional events are affected by TFIIE and TFIIH mutations associated with the developmental disorder, trichothiodystrophy. The general transcription factors TFIIE and TFIIH assemble at the transcription start site with RNA Polymerase II. Here the authors provide evidence that the TFIIEα and TFIIEβ subunits anchor the TFIIH kinase module within the preinitiation complex before their release during transcription.

Abstract
The multisubunit complex transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) has dual functions in transcriptional initiation and nucleotide excision repair (NER). TFIIH is comprised of two subcomplexes, the core subcomplex (seven subunits) including XPB and XPD helicases and the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-activating kinase (CAK) subcomplex (three subunits) containing CDK7 kinase. Recently, it has been reported that spironolactone, an anti-aldosterone drug, inhibits cellular NER by inducing proteasomal degradation of XPB and potentiates the cytotoxicity of platinum-based drugs in cancer cells, suggesting possible drug repositioning. In this study, we have tried to uncover the mechanism underlying the chemical-induced XPB destabilization. Based on siRNA library screening and subsequent analyses, we identified SCFFBXL18 E3 ligase consisting of Skp1, Cul1, F-box protein FBXL18 and Rbx1 responsible for spironolactone-induced XPB polyubiquitination and degradation. In addition, we showed that CDK7 kinase activity is required for this process. Finally, we found that the Ser90 residue of XPB is essential for the chemical-induced destabilization. These results led us to propose a model that spironolactone may trigger the phosphorylation of XPB at Ser90 by CDK7, which promotes the recognition and polyubiquitination of XPB by SCFFBXL18 for proteasomal degradation.

Genes Environ 2019; 41:2. [PMID: 30700997 PMCID: PMC6346561 DOI: 10.1186/s41021-019-0119-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 88] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2018] [Accepted: 01/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile DNA repair pathway, which can remove an extremely broad range of base lesions from the genome. In mammalian global genomic NER, the XPC protein complex initiates the repair reaction by recognizing sites of DNA damage, and this depends on detection of disrupted/destabilized base pairs within the DNA duplex. A model has been proposed that XPC first interacts with unpaired bases and then the XPD ATPase/helicase in concert with XPA verifies the presence of a relevant lesion by scanning a DNA strand in 5′-3′ direction. Such multi-step strategy for damage recognition would contribute to achieve both versatility and accuracy of the NER system at substantially high levels. In addition, recognition of ultraviolet light (UV)-induced DNA photolesions is facilitated by the UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex (UV-DDB), which not only promotes recruitment of XPC to the damage sites, but also may contribute to remodeling of chromatin structures such that the DNA lesions gain access to XPC and the following repair proteins. Even in the absence of UV-DDB, however, certain types of histone modifications and/or chromatin remodeling could occur, which eventually enable XPC to find sites with DNA lesions. Exploration of novel factors involved in regulation of the DNA damage recognition process is now ongoing.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease caused by deficiency in repair of DNA lesions generated by ultraviolet radiation and other compounds. Patients with XP display pigmentary change and numerous skin cancers in sun-exposed sites, and some patients show exaggerated severe sunburns even upon minimum sun exposure as well as neurological symptoms. We conducted a nationwide survey for XP since 1980. In Japan, the frequency of the XP complementation group A is the highest, followed by the variant type; while in the Western countries, those of groups C or D are the highest. Regarding skin cancers in XP, basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent cancer that afflicted patients with XP, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The frequency of these skin cancers in patients with XP has decreased in these 20 years, and the age of onset of developing skin cancers is higher than those previously observed, owing to early diagnosis and education to patients and care takers on strict prevention from sunlight for patients with XP. On the other hand, the effective therapy for neurological XP has not been established yet, and this needs to be done urgently.

Abstract
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation generates bulky photodimers at di-pyrimidine sites that pose stress to cells and organisms by hindering DNA replication and transcription. In addition, solar UV also induces various types of oxidative DNA lesions and single strand DNA breaks. Relieving toxicity and maintenance of genomic integrity are of clinical importance in relation to erythema/edema and diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration and premature ageing, respectively. Following solar UV radiation, a network of DNA damage response mechanisms triggers a signal transduction cascade to regulate various genome-protection pathways including DNA damage repair, cell cycle control, apoptosis, transcription and chromatin remodeling. The effects of UVC and UVB radiation on cellular DNA are predominantly accounted for by the formation of photodimers at di-pyrimidine sites. These photodimers are mutagenic: UVC, UVB and also UVA radiation induce a broadly similar pattern of transition mutations at di-pyrimidine sites. The mutagenic potency of solar UV is counteracted by efficient repair of photodimers involving global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) and transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER); the latter is a specialized repair pathway to remove transcription-blocking photodimers and restore UV-inhibited transcription. On the molecular level these processes are facilitated and regulated by various post-translational modifications of NER factors and the chromatin substrate. Inherited defects in NER are manifested in different diseases including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), UV sensitive syndrome (UVsS) and the photosensitive form of trichothiodystrophy (TTD). XP patients are prone to sunlight-induced skin cancer. UVB irradiated XP and CS knockout mouse models unveiled that only TC-NER counteracts erythema/edema, whereas both GG-NER and TC-NER protect against UVB-induced cancer. Additionally, UVA radiation induces mutations characterized by oxidation-linked signature at non-di-pyrimidine sites. The biological relevance of oxidation damage is demonstrated by the cancer susceptibility of UVB-irradiated mice deficient in repair of oxidation damage, i.e., 8-oxoguanine.

Abstract
Global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) is the main pathway for the removal of bulky lesions from DNA and is characterized by an extraordinarily wide substrate specificity. Remarkably, the efficiency of lesion removal varies dramatically and certain lesions escape repair altogether and are therefore associated with high levels of mutagenicity. Central to the multistep mechanism of damage recognition in NER is the sensing of lesion-induced thermodynamic and structural alterations of DNA by the XPC-RAD23B protein and the verification of the damage by the transcription/repair factor TFIIH. Additional factors contribute to the process: UV-DDB, for the recognition of certain UV-induced lesions in particular in the context of chromatin, while the XPA protein is believed to have a role in damage verification and NER complex assembly. Here we consider the molecular mechanisms that determine repair efficiency in GG-NER based on recent structural, computational, biochemical, cellular and single molecule studies of XPC-RAD23B and its yeast ortholog Rad4. We discuss how the actions of XPC-RAD23B are integrated with those of other NER proteins and, based on recent high-resolution structures of TFIIH, present a structural model of how XPC-RAD23B and TFIIH cooperate in damage recognition and verification.
