Abstract
The mechanisms of action for the platinum compounds cisplatin and oxaliplatin have yet to be fully elucidated, despite the worldwide use of these drugs. Recent studies suggest that the two compounds may be working through different mechanisms, with cisplatin inducing cell death via the DNA damage response (DDR) and oxaliplatin utilizing a nucleolar stress-based cell death pathway. While cisplatin-induced DDR has been subject to much research, the mechanisms for oxaliplatin's influence on the nucleolus are not well understood. Prior work has outlined structural parameters for Pt(II) derivatives capable of nucleolar stress induction. In this work, we gain insight into the nucleolar stress response induced by these Pt(II) derivatives by investigating potential correlations between this unique pathway and DDR. Key findings from this study indicate that Pt(II)-induced nucleolar stress occurs when DDR is inhibited and works independently of the ATM/ATR-dependent DDR pathway. We also determine that Pt(II)-induced stress may be linked to the G1 cell cycle phase, as cisplatin can induce nucleolar stress when cell cycle inhibition occurs at the G1/S checkpoint. Finally, we compare Pt(II)-induced nucleolar stress with other small-molecule nucleolar stress-inducing compounds Actinomycin D, BMH-21, and CX-5461, and find that only Pt(II) compounds cause irreversible nucleolar stress. Taken together, these findings contribute to a better understanding of Pt(II)-induced nucleolar stress, its deviation from ATM/ATR-dependent DDR, and the possible influence of cell cycle on the ability of Pt(II) compounds to cause nucleolar stress.

Abstract
The highly repetitive and transcriptionally active ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes are exceedingly susceptible to genotoxic stress. Induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in rDNA repeats is associated with ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM)-dependent rDNA silencing and nucleolar reorganization where rDNA is segregated into nucleolar caps. However, the regulatory events underlying this response remain elusive. Here, we identify protein UFMylation as essential for rDNA-damage response in human cells. We further show the only ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1)-E3 ligase UFL1 and its binding partner DDRGK1 localize to nucleolar caps upon rDNA damage and that UFL1 loss impairs ATM activation and rDNA transcriptional silencing, leading to reduced rDNA segregation. Moreover, analysis of nuclear and nucleolar UFMylation targets in response to DSB induction further identifies key DNA-repair factors including ATM, in addition to chromatin and actin network regulators. Taken together, our data provide evidence of an essential role for UFMylation in orchestrating rDNA DSB repair.

Abstract
The high rates of protein synthesis and processing render multiple myeloma (MM) cells vulnerable to perturbations in protein homeostasis. The induction of proteotoxic stress by targeting protein degradation with proteasome inhibitors (PIs) has revolutionized the treatment of MM. However, resistance to PIs is inevitable and represents an ongoing clinical challenge. Our first-in-human study of the selective inhibitor of RNA polymerase I transcription of ribosomal RNA genes, CX-5461, has demonstrated a potential signal for anti-tumor activity in three of six heavily pre-treated MM patients. Here, we show that CX-5461 has potent anti-myeloma activity in PI-resistant MM preclinical models in vitro and in vivo. In addition to inhibiting ribosome biogenesis, CX-5461 causes topoisomerase II trapping and replication-dependent DNA damage, leading to G2/M cell-cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death. Combining CX-5461 with PI does not further enhance the anti-myeloma activity of CX-5461 in vivo. In contrast, CX-5461 shows synergistic interaction with the histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat in both the Vk∗MYC and the 5T33-KaLwRij mouse models of MM by targeting ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis through distinct mechanisms. Our findings thus provide strong evidence to facilitate the clinical development of targeting the ribosome to treat relapsed and refractory MM.

Abstract
G-quadruplex (G4) selective stabilizing ligands can regulate c-MYC gene expression, but the kinetic basis remains unclear. Determining the effects of ligands on c-MYC promoter G4s' folding/unfolding kinetics is challenging due to the polymorphic nature of G4s and the high energy barrier to unfold c-MYC promoter G4s. Here, we used single-molecule magnetic tweezers to manipulate a duplex hairpin containing a c-MYC promoter sequence to mimic the transiently denatured duplex during transcription. We measured the effects of six commonly used G4s binding ligands on the competition between quadruplex and duplex structures, as well as the folding/unfolding kinetics of G4s. Our results revealed two distinct roles for G4s selective stabilization: CX-5461 is mainly acting as c-MYC G4s stabilizer, reducing the unfolding rate (ku) of c-MYC G4s, whereas PDS and 360A also act as G4s chaperone, accelerating the folding rates (kf) of c-MYC G4s. qRT-PCR results obtained from CA46 and Raji cell lines demonstrated that G4s stabilizing ligands can downregulate c-MYC expression, while G4s stabilizer CX-5461 exhibited the strongest c-MYC gene suppression. These results shed light on the potential of manipulating G4s' folding/unfolding kinetics by ligands for precise regulation of promoter G4-associated biological activities.

Abstract
Senescent cells that occur in response to telomere shortening, oncogenes, extracellular and intracellular stress factors are characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest, the morphological and structural changes of the cell that include the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and nucleoli rearrangement. The associated DNA lesions induce DNA damage response (DDR), which activates the DNA repair protein - poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1). This protein consumes NAD+ to synthesize ADP-ribose polymer (PAR) on its own protein chain and on other interacting proteins. The involvement of PARP1 in nucleoli processes, such as rRNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis, the maintenance of heterochromatin and nucleoli structure, as well as controlling the crucial DDR protein release from the nucleoli to nucleus, links PARP1 with cellular senescence and nucleoli functioning. In this review we describe and discuss the impact of PARP1-mediated ADP-ribosylation on early cell commitment to senescence with the possible role of senescence-induced PARP1 transcriptional repression and protein degradation on nucleoli structure and function. The cause-effect interplay between PARP1 activation/decline and nucleoli functioning during senescence needs to be studied in detail.

Abstract
Biomolecular condensates are implicated in core cellular processes such as gene regulation and ribosome biogenesis. Although the architecture of biomolecular condensates is thought to rely on collective interactions between many components, it is unclear how the collective interactions required for their formation emerge during evolution. Here, we show that the structure and evolution of a recently emerged biomolecular condensate, the nucleolar fibrillar center (FC), is explained by a single self-assembling scaffold, TCOF1. TCOF1 is necessary to form the FC, and it structurally defines the FC through self-assembly mediated by homotypic interactions of serine/glutamate-rich low-complexity regions (LCRs). Finally, introduction of TCOF1 into a species lacking the FC is sufficient to form an FC-like biomolecular condensate. By demonstrating that a recently emerged biomolecular condensate is built on a simple architecture determined by a single self-assembling protein, our work provides a compelling mechanism by which biomolecular condensates can emerge in the tree of life.
