Abstract
DNA replication is remarkably accurate with estimates of only a handful of mutations per human genome per cell division cycle. Replication stress caused by DNA lesions, transcription-replication conflicts, and other obstacles to the replication machinery must be efficiently overcome in ways that minimize errors and maximize completion of DNA synthesis. Replication fork reversal is one mechanism that helps cells tolerate replication stress. This process involves reannealing of parental template DNA strands and generation of a nascent-nascent DNA duplex. While fork reversal may be beneficial by facilitating DNA repair or template switching, it must be confined to the appropriate contexts to preserve genome stability. Many enzymes have been implicated in this process including ATP-dependent DNA translocases like SMARCAL1, ZRANB3, HLTF, and the helicase FBH1. In addition, the RAD51 recombinase is required. Many additional factors and regulatory activities also act to ensure reversal is beneficial instead of yielding undesirable outcomes. Finally, reversed forks must also be stabilized and often need to be restarted to complete DNA synthesis. Disruption or deregulation of fork reversal causes a variety of human diseases. In this review we will describe the latest models for reversal and key mechanisms of regulation.

Intrinsic PARG inhibitor sensitivity is mimicked by TIMELESS haploinsufficiency and rescued by nucleoside supplementation. NAR Cancer 2024; 6:zcae030. [PMID: 39015544 PMCID: PMC11249981 DOI: 10.1093/narcan/zcae030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
A subset of cancer cells are intrinsically sensitive to inhibitors targeting PARG, the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase that degrades PAR chains. Sensitivity is accompanied by persistent DNA replication stress, and can be induced by inhibition of TIMELESS, a replisome accelerator. However, the nature of the vulnerability responsible for intrinsic sensitivity remains undetermined. To understand PARG activity dependency, we analysed Timeless model systems and intrinsically sensitive ovarian cancer cells. We show that nucleoside supplementation rescues all phenotypes associated with PARG inhibitor sensitivity, including replisome speed and fork stalling, S-phase completion and mitotic entry, proliferation dynamics and clonogenic potential. Importantly nucleoside supplementation restores PARG inhibitor resistance despite the continued presence of PAR chains, indicating that sensitivity does not correlate with PAR levels. In addition, we show that inhibition of thymidylate synthase, an enzyme required for dNTP homeostasis, induces PARG-dependency. Together, these observations suggest that PARG inhibitor sensitivity reflects an inability to control replisome speed and/or maintain helicase-polymerase coupling in response to nucleotide imbalances.

Abstract
PARP inhibitors (PARPi), known for their ability to induce replication gaps and accelerate replication forks, have become potent agents in anticancer therapy. However, the molecular mechanism underlying PARPi-induced fork acceleration has remained elusive. Here, we show that the first PARPi-induced effect on DNA replication is an increased replication fork rate, followed by a secondary reduction in origin activity. Through the systematic knockdown of human DNA polymerases, we identify POLA1 as mediator of PARPi-induced fork acceleration. This acceleration depends on both DNA polymerase α and primase activities. Additionally, the depletion of POLA1 increases the accumulation of replication gaps induced by PARP inhibition, sensitizing cells to PARPi. BRCA1-depleted cells are especially susceptible to the formation of replication gaps under POLA1 inhibition. Accordingly, BRCA1 deficiency sensitizes cells to POLA1 inhibition. Thus, our findings establish the POLA complex as important player in PARPi-induced fork acceleration and provide evidence that lagging strand synthesis represents a targetable vulnerability in BRCA1-deficient cells.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 and its antagonists MDM2 and MDM4 integrate stress signaling. For instance, dysbalanced assembly of ribosomes in nucleoli induces p53. Here, we show that the ribosomal protein L22 (RPL22; eL22), under conditions of ribosomal and nucleolar stress, promotes the skipping of MDM4 exon 6. Upon L22 depletion, more full-length MDM4 is maintained, leading to diminished p53 activity and enhanced cellular proliferation. L22 binds to specific RNA elements within intron 6 of MDM4 that correspond to a stem-loop consensus, leading to exon 6 skipping. Targeted deletion of these intronic elements largely abolishes L22-mediated exon skipping and re-enables cell proliferation, despite nucleolar stress. L22 also governs alternative splicing of the L22L1 (RPL22L1) and UBAP2L mRNAs. Thus, L22 serves as a signaling intermediate that integrates different layers of gene expression. Defects in ribosome synthesis lead to specific alternative splicing, ultimately triggering p53-mediated transcription and arresting cell proliferation.

Abstract
The splicing factor RNA-binding motif protein 10 (RBM10) is frequently mutated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (9-25%). Most RBM10 cancer mutations are loss-of-function, correlating with increased tumorigenesis and limiting the efficacy of current LUAD targeted therapies. Remarkably, therapeutic strategies leveraging RBM10 deficiency remain unexplored. Here, we conduct a CRISPR-Cas9 synthetic lethality (SL) screen and identify ~60 RBM10 SL genes, including WEE1 kinase. WEE1 inhibition sensitizes RBM10-deficient LUAD cells in-vitro and in-vivo. Mechanistically, we identify a splicing-independent role of RBM10 in regulating DNA replication fork progression and replication stress response, which underpins RBM10-WEE1 SL. Additionally, RBM10 interacts with active DNA replication forks, relying on DNA Primase Subunit 1 (PRIM1) that synthesizes Okazaki RNA primers. Functionally, we demonstrate that RBM10 serves as an anchor for recruiting Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) to facilitate H4K16 deacetylation and R-loop homeostasis to maintain replication fork stability. Collectively, our data reveal a role of RBM10 in fine-tuning DNA replication and provide therapeutic arsenal for targeting RBM10-deficient tumors.

Abstract
DNA topoisomerase II (TOP2) is an enzyme that performs a critical function in manipulating DNA topology during replication, transcription, and chromosomal compaction by forming a vital intermediate known as the TOP2-DNA cleavage complex (TOP2cc). Although the TOP2cc is often transient, stabilization can be achieved by TOP2 poisons, a family of anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents targeting TOP2, such as etoposide (VP-16), and then induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) in cellular DNA. TOP2cc first needs to be proteolyzed before it can be processed by TDP2 for the removal of these protein adducts and to produce clean DNA ends necessary for proper repair. However, the mechanism by which TOP2βcc is proteolyzed has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, we report that after exposure to VP-16, MDM2, a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, attaches to TOP2β and initiates polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Mechanistically, during exposure to VP-16, TOP2β binds to DNA to form TOP2βcc, which promotes MDM2 binding and subsequent TOP2β ubiquitination and degradation, and results in a decrease in TOP2βcc levels. Biologically, MDM2 inactivation abrogates TOP2β degradation, stabilizes TOP2βcc, and subsequently increases the number of TOP2β-concealed DSBs, resulting in the rapid death of cancer cells via the apoptotic process. Furthermore, we demonstrate the combination activity of VP-16 and RG7112, an MDM2 inhibitor, in the xenograft tumor model and in situ lung cancer mouse model. Taken together, the results of our research reveal an underlying mechanism by which MDM2 promotes cancer cell survival in the presence of TOP2 poisons by activating proteolysis of TOP2βcc in a p53-independent manner, and provides a rationale for the combination of MDM2 inhibitors with TOP2 poisons for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The influence of the metastasis promoting proteins mutant p53 (mtp53) and MDM2 on Cancer Persistent Repair (CPR) to promote cancer cell survival is understudied. Interactions between the DNA repair choice protein 53BP1 and wild type tumor suppressor protein p53 (wtp53) regulates cell cycle control. Cancer cells often express elevated levels of transcriptionally inactive missense mutant p53 (mtp53) that interacts with MDM2 and MDM4/MDMX (herein called MDMX). The ability of mtp53 to maintain a 53BP1 interaction while in the context of interactions with MDM2 and MDMX has not been described. We asked if MDM2 regulates chromatin-based phosphorylation events in the context of mtp53 by comparing the chromatin of T47D breast cancer cells with and without MDM2 in a phospho-peptide stable isotope labeling in cell culture (SILAC) screen. We found reduced phospho-53BP1 chromatin association, which we confirmed by chromatin fractionation and immunofluorescence in multiple breast cancer cell lines. We used the Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) in breast cancer cell lines and detected 53BP1 in close proximity to mtp53, MDM2, and the DNA repair protein MDC1. Through disruption of the mtp53-MDM2 interaction, by either Nutlin 3a or a mtp53 R273H C-terminal deletion, we uncovered that mtp53 was required for MDM2-53BP1 interaction foci. Our data suggests that mtp53 works with MDM2 and 53BP1 to promote CPR and cell survival.

Abstract
Oncogene-induced replication stress has been recognized as a major cause of genome instability in cancer cells. Increased expression of cyclin E1 caused by amplification of the CCNE1 gene is a common cause of replication stress in various cancers. Protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent 1 delta (PPM1D) is a negative regulator of p53 and has been implicated in termination of the cell cycle checkpoint. Amplification of the PPM1D gene or frameshift mutations in its final exon promote tumorigenesis. Here, we show that PPM1D activity further increases the replication stress caused by overexpression of cyclin E1. In particular, we demonstrate that cells expressing a truncated mutant of PPM1D progress faster from G1 to S phase and fail to complete licensing of the replication origins. In addition, we show that transcription-replication collisions and replication fork slowing caused by CCNE1 overexpression are exaggerated in cells expressing the truncated PPM1D. Finally, replication speed and accumulation of focal DNA copy number alterations caused by induction of CCNE1 expression was rescued by pharmacological inhibition of PPM1D. We propose that increased activity of PPM1D suppresses the checkpoint function of p53 and thus promotes genome instability in cells expressing the CCNE1 oncogene.

Abstract
Alternative DNA structures that differ from the canonical B-form of DNA can arise from repetitive sequences and play beneficial roles in many cellular processes such as gene regulation and chromatin organization. However, they also threaten genomic stability in several ways including mutagenesis and collisions with replication and/or transcription machinery, which lead to genomic instability that is associated with human disease. Thus, the careful regulation of non-B-DNA structure formation and resolution is crucial for the maintenance of genome integrity. Several protein factors have been demonstrated to associate with alternative DNA structures to facilitate their removal, one of which is the ADP-ribose transferase (ART) PARP1 (also called ADP-ribosyltransferase diphtheria toxin-like 1 or ARTD1), a multifaceted DNA repair enzyme that recognizes single- and double-stranded DNA breaks and synthesizes chains of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) to recruit DNA repair proteins. It is now well appreciated that PARP1 recognizes several nucleic acid structures beyond DNA lesions, including stalled replication forks, DNA hairpins and cruciforms, R-loops, and DNA G-quadruplexes (G4 DNA). In this review, we summarize the current evidence of a direct association of PARP1 with each of these aforementioned alternative DNA structures, as well as discuss the role of PARP1 in the prevention of non-B-DNA structure-induced genetic instability. We will focus on the mechanisms of the recognition and binding by PARP1 to each alternative structure and the structure-based stimulation of PARP1 catalytic activity upon binding. Finally, we will discuss some of the outstanding gaps in the literature and offer speculative insight for questions that remain to be experimentally addressed.

Abstract
TCR-engineered T cells have achieved great progress in solid tumor therapy, some of which have been applicated in clinical trials. Deep knowledge about the current progress of TCR-T in tumor therapy would be beneficial to understand the direction. Here, we classify tumor antigens into tumor-associated antigens, tumor-specific antigens, tumor antigens expressed by oncogenic viruses, and tumor antigens caused by abnormal protein modification; Then we detail the TCR-T cell therapy effects targeting those tumor antigens in clinical or preclinical trials, and propose that neoantigen specific TCR-T cell therapy is expected to be a promising approach for solid tumors; Furthermore, we summarize the optimization strategies, such as tumor microenvironment, TCR pairing and affinity, to improve the therapeutic effect of TCR-T. Overall, this review provides inspiration for the antigen selection and therapy strategies of TCR-T in the future.

[PMID: 37728310 PMCID: PMC10550789 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20222591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
DNA replication forks are subject to intricate surveillance and strict regulation by sophisticated cellular machinery. Such close regulation is necessary to ensure the accurate duplication of genetic information and to tackle the diverse endogenous and exogenous stresses that impede this process. Stalled replication forks are vulnerable to collapse, which is a major cause of genomic instability and carcinogenesis. Replication stress responses, which are organized via a series of coordinated molecular events, stabilize stalled replication forks and carry out fork reversal and restoration. DNA damage tolerance and repair pathways such as homologous recombination and Fanconi anemia also contribute to replication fork stabilization. The signaling network that mediates the transduction and interplay of these pathways is regulated by a series of post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination, which affects the activity, stability, and interactome of substrates. In particular, the ubiquitination of replication protein A and proliferating cell nuclear antigen at stalled replication forks promotes the recruitment of downstream regulators. In this review, we describe the ubiquitination-mediated signaling cascades that regulate replication fork progression and stabilization. In addition, we discuss the targeting of replication fork stability and ubiquitination system components as a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Transmission of genetic information depends on successful completion of DNA replication. Genomic DNA is subjected to damage on a daily basis. DNA lesions create obstacles for DNA polymerases and can lead to the replication blockage, formation of DNA breaks, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Cells have evolutionary adapted to DNA damage by developing mechanisms allowing elimination of lesions prior to DNA replication (DNA repair) and helping to bypass lesions during DNA synthesis (DNA damage tolerance). The second group of mechanisms includes the restart of DNA synthesis at the sites of DNA damage by DNA primase-polymerase PrimPol. Human PrimPol was described in 2013. The properties and functions of this enzyme have been extensively studied in recent years, but very little is known about the regulation of PrimPol and association between the enzyme dysfunction and diseases. In this review, we described the mechanisms of human PrimPol regulation in the context of DNA replication, discussed in detail interactions of PrimPol with other proteins, and proposed possible pathways for the regulation of human PrimPol activity. The article also addresses the association of PrimPol dysfunction with human diseases.

Abstract
As the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) regulates almost every biological process, the dysregulation or aberrant expression of the UPS components causes many pathological disorders, including cancers. To find a novel target for anticancer therapy, the UPS has been an active area of research since the FDA's first approval of a proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in 2003 for treating multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we summarize newly described UPS components, including E3 ubiquitin ligases, deubiquitinases (DUBs), and immunoproteasome, whose malfunction leads to tumorigenesis and whose inhibitors have been investigated in clinical trials as anticancer therapy since 2020. We explain the mechanism and effects of several inhibitors in depth to better comprehend the advantages of targeting UPS components for cancer treatment. In addition, we describe attempts to overcome resistance and limited efficacy of some launched proteasome inhibitors, as well as an emerging PROTAC-based tool targeting UPS components for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that ensures the faithful duplication of the genome. However, DNA damage arising from both endogenous and exogenous assaults gives rise to DNA replication stress associated with replication fork slowing or stalling. Therefore, protecting the stressed fork while prompting its recovery to complete DNA replication is critical for safeguarding genomic integrity and cell survival. Specifically, the plasticity of the replication fork in engaging distinct DNA damage tolerance mechanisms, including fork reversal, repriming, and translesion DNA synthesis, enables cells to overcome a variety of replication obstacles. Furthermore, stretches of single-stranded DNA generated upon fork stalling trigger the activation of the ATR kinase, which coordinates the cellular responses to replication stress by stabilizing the replication fork, promoting DNA repair, and controlling cell cycle and replication origin firing. Deregulation of the ATR checkpoint and aberrant levels of chronic replication stress is a common characteristic of cancer and a point of vulnerability being exploited in cancer therapy. Here, we discuss the various adaptive responses of a replication fork to replication stress and the roles of ATR signaling that bring fork stabilization mechanisms together. We also review how this knowledge is being harnessed for the development of checkpoint inhibitors to trigger the replication catastrophe of cancer cells.

Selective ablation of P53 in pancreatic beta cells fails to ameliorate glucose metabolism in genetic, dietary and pharmacological models of diabetes mellitus. Mol Metab 2022; 67:101650. [PMID: 36470401 PMCID: PMC9791454 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2022.101650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Beta cell dysfunction and death are critical steps in the development of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D), but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Activation of the essential tumor suppressor and transcription factor P53 (also known as TP53 and Trp53 in mice) was linked to beta cell death in vitro and has been reported in several diabetes mouse models and beta cells of humans with T2D. In this article, we set out to determine the beta cell specific role of P53 in beta cell dysfunction, cell death and development of diabetes in vivo. METHODS We generated beta cell specific P53 knockout (P53BKO) mice and used complementary genetic, dietary and pharmacological models of glucose intolerance, beta cell dysfunction and diabetes development to evaluate the functional role of P53 selectively in beta cells. We further analyzed the effect of P53 ablation on beta cell survival in isolated pancreatic islets exposed to diabetogenic stress inducers ex vivo by flow cytometry. RESULTS Beta cell specific ablation of P53/Trp53 failed to ameliorate glucose tolerance, insulin secretion or to increase beta cell numbers in genetic, dietary and pharmacological models of diabetes. Additionally, loss of P53 in beta cells did not protect against streptozotocin (STZ) induced hyperglycemia and beta cell death, although STZ-induced activation of classical pro-apoptotic P53 target genes was significantly reduced in P53BKO mice. In contrast, Olaparib mediated PARP1 inhibition protected against acute ex vivo STZ-induced beta cell death and islet destruction. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that ablation of P53 specifically in beta cells is unexpectedly unable to attenuate beta cell failure and death in vivo and ex vivo. While during development and progression of diabetes, P53 and P53-regulated pathways are activated, our study suggests that P53 signaling is not essential for loss of beta cells or beta cell dysfunction. P53 in other cell types and organs may predominantly regulate systemic glucose homeostasis.

Mol Cancer Res 2022; 20:1799-1810. [PMID: 36074101 PMCID: PMC9716242 DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.mcr-22-0133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The TP53 gene is mutated in 80% of triple-negative breast cancers. Cells that harbor the hot-spot p53 gene mutation R273H produce an oncogenic mutant p53 (mtp53) that enhances cell proliferative and metastatic properties. The enhanced activities of mtp53 are collectively referred to as gain-of-function (GOF), and may include transcription-independent chromatin-based activities shared with wild-type p53 (wtp53) such as association with replicating DNA and DNA replication associated proteins like PARP1. However, how mtp53 upregulates cell proliferation is not well understood. wtp53 interacts with PARP1 using a portion of its C-terminus. The wtp53 oligomerization and far C-terminal domain (CTD) located within the C-terminus constitute putative GOF-associated domains, because mtp53 R273H expressing breast cancer cells lacking both domains manifest slow proliferation phenotypes. We addressed if the C-terminal region of mtp53 R273H is important for chromatin interaction and breast cancer cell proliferation using CRISPR-Cas9 mutated MDA-MB-468 cells endogenously expressing mtp53 R273H C-terminal deleted isoforms (R273HΔ381-388 and R273HΔ347-393). The mtp53 R273HΔ347-393 lacks the CTD and a portion of the oligomerization domain. We observed that cells harboring mtp53 R273HΔ347-393 (compared with mtp53 R273H full-length) manifest a significant reduction in chromatin, PARP1, poly-ADP-ribose (PAR), and replicating DNA binding. These cells also exhibited impaired response to hydroxyurea replicative stress, decreased sensitivity to the PARP-trapping drug combination temozolomide-talazoparib, and increased phosphorylated 53BP1 foci, suggesting reduced Okazaki fragment processing. IMPLICATIONS The C-terminal region of mtp53 confers GOF activity that mediates mtp53-PARP1 and PAR interactions assisting DNA replication, thus implicating new biomarkers for PARP inhibitor therapy.
