Fan T, Shi T, Sui R, Wang J, Kang H, Yu Y, Zhu Y. The chromatin remodeler ERCC6 and the histone chaperone NAP1 are involved in apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease-mediated DNA repair. THE PLANT CELL 2024; 36:2238-2252. [PMID: 38367203 PMCID: PMC11132878 DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koae052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
During base excision repair (BER), the apurinic or apyrimidinic (AP) site serves as an intermediate product following base excision. In plants, APE-redox protein (ARP) represents the major AP site of cleavage activity. Despite the well-established understanding that the nucleosomal structure acts as a barrier to various DNA-templated processes, the regulatory mechanisms underlying BER at the chromatin level remain elusive, especially in plants. In this study, we identified plant chromatin remodeler Excision Repair Cross-Complementing protein group 6 (ERCC6) and histone chaperone Nucleosome Assembly Protein 1 (NAP1) as interacting proteins with ARP. The catalytic ATPase domain of ERCC6 facilitates its interaction with both ARP and NAP1. Additionally, ERCC6 and NAP1 synergistically contribute to nucleosome sliding and exposure of hindered endonuclease cleavage sites. Loss-of-function mutations in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ERCC6 or NAP1 resulted in arp-dependent plant hypersensitivity to 5-fluorouracil, a toxic agent inducing BER, and the accumulation of AP sites. Furthermore, similar protein interactions are also found in yeast cells, suggesting a conserved recruitment mechanism employed by the AP endonuclease to overcome chromatin barriers during BER progression.

Abstract
SWI/SNF enzymes are heterogeneous multi-subunit complexes that utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to remodel chromatin structure, facilitating transcription, DNA replication, and repair. In mammalian cells, distinct sub-complexes, including cBAF, ncBAF, and PBAF exhibit varying subunit compositions and have different genomic functions. Alterations in the SWI/SNF complex and sub-complex functions are a prominent feature in cancer, making them attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. Current strategies in cancer therapeutics involve the use of pharmacological agents designed to bind and disrupt the activity of SWI/SNF complexes or specific sub-complexes. Inhibitors targeting the catalytic subunits, SMARCA4/2, and small molecules binding SWI/SNF bromodomains are the primary approaches for suppressing SWI/SNF function. Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) were generated by the covalent linkage of the bromodomain or ATPase-binding ligand to an E3 ligase-binding moiety. This engineered connection promotes the degradation of specific SWI/SNF subunits, enhancing and extending the impact of this pharmacological intervention in some cases. Extensive preclinical studies have underscored the therapeutic potential of these drugs across diverse cancer types. Encouragingly, some of these agents have progressed from preclinical research to clinical trials, indicating a promising stride toward the development of effective cancer therapeutics targeting SWI/SNF complex and sub-complex functions.

Abstract
OGG1 is the DNA glycosylase responsible for the removal of the oxidative lesion 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) from DNA. The recognition of this lesion by OGG1 is a complex process that involves scanning the DNA for the presence of 8-oxoG, followed by recognition and lesion removal. Structural data have shown that OGG1 evolves through different stages of conformation onto the DNA, corresponding to elementary steps of the 8-oxoG recognition and extrusion from the double helix. Single-molecule studies of OGG1 on naked DNA have shown that OGG1 slides in persistent contact with the DNA, displaying different binding states probably corresponding to the different conformation stages. However, in cells, the DNA is not naked and OGG1 has to navigate into a complex and highly crowded environment within the nucleus. To ensure rapid detection of 8-oxoG, OGG1 alternates between 3D diffusion and sliding along the DNA. This process is regulated by the local chromatin state but also by protein co-factors that could facilitate the detection of oxidized lesions. We will review here the different methods that have been used over the last years to better understand how OGG1 detects and process 8-oxoG lesions.

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
Base excision repair (BER) is a cellular process that removes damaged bases arising from exogenous and endogenous sources including reactive oxygen species, alkylation agents, and ionizing radiation. BER is mediated by the actions of multiple proteins which work in a highly concerted manner to resolve DNA damage efficiently to prevent toxic repair intermediates. During the initiation of BER, the damaged base is removed by one of 11 mammalian DNA glycosylases, resulting in abasic sites. Many DNA glycosylases are product-inhibited by binding to the abasic site more avidly than the damaged base. Traditionally, apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, APE1, was believed to help turn over the glycosylases to undergo multiple rounds of damaged base removal. However, in a series of papers from our laboratory, we have demonstrated that UV-damaged DNA binding protein (UV-DDB) stimulates the glycosylase activities of human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1), MUTY DNA glycosylase (MUTYH), alkyladenine glycosylase/N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (AAG/MPG), and single-strand selective monofunctional glycosylase (SMUG1), between three- and five-fold. Moreover, we have shown that UV-DDB can assist chromatin decompaction, facilitating access of OGG1 to 8-oxoguanine damage in telomeres. This review summarizes the biochemistry, single-molecule, and cell biology approaches that our group used to directly demonstrate the essential role of UV-DDB in BER.

Abstract
UV-damaged DNA-binding protein (UV-DDB) is a heterodimeric protein, consisting of DDB1 and DDB2 subunits, that works to recognize DNA lesions induced by UV damage during global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER). Our laboratory previously discovered a non-canonical role for UV-DDB in the processing of 8-oxoG, by stimulating 8-oxoG glycosylase, OGG1, activity 3-fold, MUTYH activity 4-5-fold, and APE1 (apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1) activity 8-fold. 5-hydroxymethyl-deoxyuridine (5-hmdU) is an important oxidation product of thymidine which is removed by single-strand selective monofunctional DNA glycosylase (SMUG1). Biochemical experiments with purified proteins indicated that UV-DDB stimulates the excision activity of SMUG1 on several substrates by 4-5-fold. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that UV-DDB displaced SMUG1 from abasic site products. Single-molecule analysis revealed that UV-DDB decreases the half-life of SMUG1 on DNA by ∼8-fold. Immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that cellular treatment with 5-hmdU (5 μM for 15 min), which is incorporated into DNA during replication, produces discrete foci of DDB2-mCherry, which co-localize with SMUG1-GFP. Proximity ligation assays supported a transient interaction between SMUG1 and DDB2 in cells. Poly(ADP)-ribose accumulated after 5-hmdU treatment, which was abrogated with SMUG1 and DDB2 knockdown. These data support a novel role for UV-DDB in the processing of the oxidized base, 5-hmdU.

Abstract
Eukaryotic DNA exists in chromatin, where the genomic DNA is packaged into a fundamental repeating unit known as the nucleosome. In this chromatin environment, our genomic DNA is constantly under attack by exogenous and endogenous stressors that can lead to DNA damage. Importantly, this DNA damage must be repaired to prevent the accumulation of mutations and ensure normal cellular function. To date, most in-depth biochemical studies of DNA repair proteins have been performed in the context of free duplex DNA. However, chromatin can serve as a barrier that DNA repair enzymes must navigate in order find, access, and process DNA damage in the cell. To facilitate future studies of DNA repair in chromatin, we describe a protocol for generating nucleosome containing site-specific DNA damage that can be utilized for a variety of in vitro applications. This protocol describes several key steps including how to generate damaged DNA oligonucleotides, the expression and purification of recombinant histones, the refolding of histone complexes, and the reconstitution of nucleosomes containing site-specific DNA damage. These methods will enable researchers to generate nucleosomes containing site-specific DNA damage for extensive biochemical and structural studies of DNA repair in the nucleosome.

Abstract
UV-DDB is a DNA damage recognition protein recently discovered to participate in the removal of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG) by stimulating multiple steps of base excision repair (BER). In this study, we examined whether UV-DDB has a wider role in BER besides oxidized bases and found it has specificity for two known DNA substrates of alkyladenine glycosylase (AAG)/N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG): 1, N6-ethenoadenine (ϵA) and hypoxanthine. Gel mobility shift assays show that UV-DDB recognizes these two lesions 4-5 times better than non-damaged DNA. Biochemical studies indicated that UV-DDB stimulated AAG activity on both substrates by 4- to 5-fold. Native gels indicated UV-DDB forms a transient complex with AAG to help facilitate release of AAG from the abasic site product. Single molecule experiments confirmed the interaction and showed that UV-DDB can act to displace AAG from abasic sites. Cells when treated with methyl methanesulfonate resulted in foci containing AAG and UV-DDB that developed over the course of several hours after treatment. While colocalization did not reach 100%, foci containing AAG and UV-DDB reached a maximum at three hours post treatment. Together these data indicate that UV-DDB plays an important role in facilitating the repair of AAG substrates.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis). Nevertheless, how ROS induces NETosis at baseline and during neutrophil activation is unknown. Although neutrophils carry DNA transcription, replication and repair machineries, their relevance in the short-lived mature neutrophils that carry pre-synthesized proteins has remained a mystery for decades. Our recent studies show that (i) NETosis-inducing agonists promote NETosis-specific kinase activation, genome-wide transcription that helps to decondense chromatin, and (ii) excess ROS produced by NADPH oxidase activating agonists generate genome-wide 8-oxy-guanine (8-OG), and the initial steps of DNA repair are needed to decondense chromatin in these cells. These steps require DNA repair proteins necessary for the assembly and nicking at the damaged DNA sites (poly ADP ribose polymerase PARP, apurinic endonuclease APE1 and DNA ligase), but not the enzymes that mediate the repair DNA synthesis (Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and DNA Polymerases). In this study, we show that (i) similar to agonist-induced NETosis, inhibition of early steps of oxidative DNA damage repair proteins suppresses spontaneous NETosis, but (ii) the inhibition of late stage repair proteins DNA polymerases and PCNA drastically promotes baseline NETosis. Hence, in the absence of excessive ROS generation and neutrophil activation, DNA repair mediated by PCNA and DNA polymerases is essential to prevent chromatin decondensation and spontaneous NETosis. These findings indicate that ROS, oxidative DNA damage, transcription and DNA repair differentially regulate spontaneous and agonist-induced NETosis. Therefore, context matters.

Abstract
Genomic DNA is continually exposed to endogenous and exogenous factors that promote DNA damage. Eukaryotic genomic DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, which present a barrier to accessing and effectively repairing DNA damage. The mechanisms by which DNA repair proteins overcome this barrier to repair DNA damage in the nucleosome and protect genomic stability is unknown. Here, we determine how the base excision repair (BER) endonuclease AP-endonuclease 1 (APE1) recognizes and cleaves DNA damage in the nucleosome. Kinetic assays determine that APE1 cleaves solvent-exposed AP sites in the nucleosome with 3 − 6 orders of magnitude higher efficiency than occluded AP sites. A cryo-electron microscopy structure of APE1 bound to a nucleosome containing a solvent-exposed AP site reveal that APE1 uses a DNA sculpting mechanism for AP site recognition, where APE1 bends the nucleosomal DNA to access the AP site. Notably, additional biochemical and structural characterization of occluded AP sites identify contacts between the nucleosomal DNA and histone octamer that prevent efficient processing of the AP site by APE1. These findings provide a rationale for the position-dependent activity of BER proteins in the nucleosome and suggests the ability of BER proteins to sculpt nucleosomal DNA drives efficient BER in chromatin. AP endonuclease 1 (APE1) processes genomic AP sites during base excision repair. Here, the authors determine the structural mechanism used by APE1 to process nucleosomal AP sites, providing new insight into DNA repair in chromatin.

Abstract
Most eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin, which is made up of tandemly repeating nucleosomes. This packaging of DNA poses a significant barrier to the various enzymes that must act on DNA, including DNA damage response enzymes that interact intimately with DNA to prevent mutations and cell death. To regulate access to certain DNA regions, chromatin remodeling, variant histone exchange, and histone post-translational modifications have been shown to assist several DNA repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair, single strand break repair, and double strand break repair. While these chromatin-level responses have been directly linked to various DNA repair pathways, how they modulate the base excision repair (BER) pathway remains elusive. This review highlights recent findings that demonstrate how BER is regulated by the packaging of DNA into nucleosome core particles (NCPs) and higher orders of chromatin structures. We also summarize the available data that indicate BER may be enabled by chromatin modifications and remodeling.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases are the key enzymes in the DNA base excision repair, as they hydrolyze the phosphodiester bond in the AP site formed after removal of the damaged base. Major human AP endonuclease APEX1 also possesses the 3'-phosphodiesterase and 3'→5' exonuclease activities. The biological role of the latter has not been established yet; it is assumed that it corrects DNA synthesis errors during DNA repair. If DNA is damaged at the 3'-side of 5-methylcytosine (mC) residue, the 3'→5' exonuclease activity can change the epigenetic methylation status of the CpG dinucleotide. It remains unclear whether the 3'→5' exonuclease activity of APEX1 contributes to the active epigenetic demethylation or, on the contrary, is limited in the case of methylated CpG dinucleotides in order to preserve the epigenetic status upon repair of accidental DNA damage. Here, we report the results of the first systematic study on the efficiency of removal of 3'-terminal nucleotides from the substrates modeling DNA repair intermediates in the CpG dinucleotides. The best substrates for the 3'→5' exonuclease activity of APEX1 were oligonucleotides with the 3'-terminal bases non-complementary to the template, while the worst substrates contained mC. The presence of mC in the complementary strand significantly reduced the reaction rate even for the non-complementary 3'-ends. Therefore, the efficiency of the 3'→5' exonuclease reaction catalyzed by APEX1 is limited in the case of the methylated CpG dinucleotides, which likely reflects the need to preserve the epigenetic status during DNA repair.

Abstract
Genomic DNA in the nucleus is wrapped around nucleosomes, a repeating unit of chromatin. The nucleosome, consisting of octamer of core histones, is a barrier for several cellular processes that require access to the naked DNA. The FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), a histone chaperone complex, is involved in nucleosome remodeling via eviction or assembly of histones during transcription, replication, and DNA repair. Increasing evidence suggests that FACT plays an important role in multiple DNA repair pathways including transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) of UV-induced damage, DNA single- and double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair, and base excision repair (BER) of oxidized or alkylated damaged bases. Further, studies have shown overexpression of FACT in multiple types of cancer and its association with drug resistance and patients' poor prognosis. In this review, we discuss how FACT is accumulated at the damage site and what functions it performs. We describe the known mechanisms by which FACT facilitates repair of different types of DNA damage. Further, we highlight the recent advances in a class of FACT inhibitors, called curaxins, which show promise as a new adjuvant therapy to sensitize multiple types of cancer to chemotherapy and radiation.

Abstract
Oxidized bases in the genome has been implicated in various human pathologies, including cancer, aging and neurological diseases. Their repair is initiated with excision by DNA glycosylases (DGs) in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Among the five oxidized base-specific human DGs, OGG1 and NTH1 preferentially excise oxidized purines and pyrimidines, respectively, while NEILs remove both oxidized purines and pyrimidines. However, little is known about why cells possess multiple DGs with overlapping substrate specificities. Studies of the past decades revealed that some DGs are involved in repair of oxidized DNA base lesions in the actively transcribed regions. Preferential removal of lesions from the transcribed strands of active genes, called transcription-coupled repair (TCR), was discovered as a distinct sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair; however, such repair of oxidized DNA bases had not been established until our recent demonstration of NEIL2's role in TC-BER of the nuclear genome. We have shown that NEIL2 forms a distinct transcriptionally active, repair proficient complex. More importantly, we for the first time reconstituted TC-BER using purified components. These studies are important for characterizing critical requirement for the process. However, because NEIL2 cannot remove all types of oxidized bases, it is unlikely to be the only DNA glycosylase involved in TC-BER. Hence, we postulate TC-BER process to be universally involved in maintaining the functional integrity of active genes, especially in post-mitotic, non-growing cells. We further postulate that abnormal bases (e.g., uracil), and alkylated and other small DNA base adducts are also repaired via TC-BER. In this review, we have provided an overview of the various aspects of TC-BER in mammalian cells with the hope of generating significant interest of many researchers in the field. Further studies aimed at better understanding the mechanistic aspects of TC-BER could help elucidate the linkage of TC-BER deficiency to various human pathologies.

Abstract
Unlike all other biological molecules that are degraded and replaced if damaged, DNA must be repaired as chromosomes cannot be replaced. Indeed, DNA endures a wide variety of structural damage that need to be repaired accurately to maintain genomic stability and proper functioning of cells and to prevent mutation leading to disease. Given that the genome is packaged into chromatin within eukaryotic cells, it has become increasingly evident that the chromatin context of DNA both facilitates and regulates DNA repair processes. In this review, we discuss mechanisms involved in removal of histones (chromatin disassembly) from around DNA lesions, by histone chaperones and chromatin remodelers, that promotes accessibility of the DNA repair machinery. We also elaborate on how the deposition of core histones and specific histone variants onto DNA (chromatin assembly) during DNA repair promotes repair processes, the role of histone post translational modifications in these processes and how chromatin structure is reestablished after DNA repair is complete.

Abstract
The oxidative base damage, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) is a highly mutagenic lesion because replicative DNA polymerases insert adenine (A) opposite 8-oxoG. In mammalian cells, the removal of A incorporated across from 8-oxoG is mediated by the glycosylase MUTYH during base excision repair (BER). After A excision, MUTYH binds avidly to the abasic site and is thus product inhibited. We have previously reported that UV-DDB plays a non-canonical role in BER during the removal of 8-oxoG by 8-oxoG glycosylase, OGG1 and presented preliminary data that UV-DDB can also increase MUTYH activity. In this present study we examine the mechanism of how UV-DDB stimulates MUTYH. Bulk kinetic assays show that UV-DDB can stimulate the turnover rate of MUTYH excision of A across from 8-oxoG by 4-5-fold. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and atomic force microscopy suggest transient complex formation between MUTYH and UV-DDB, which displaces MUTYH from abasic sites. Using single molecule fluorescence analysis of MUTYH bound to abasic sites, we show that UV-DDB interacts directly with MUTYH and increases the mobility and dissociation rate of MUTYH. UV-DDB decreases MUTYH half-life on abasic sites in DNA from 8800 to 590 seconds. Together these data suggest that UV-DDB facilitates productive turnover of MUTYH at abasic sites during 8-oxoG:A repair.

Abstract
The six major mammalian DNA repair pathways were discovered as independent processes, each dedicated to remove specific types of lesions, but the past two decades have brought into focus the significant interplay between these pathways. In particular, several studies have demonstrated that certain proteins of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) pathways work in a cooperative manner in the removal of oxidative lesions. This review focuses on recent data showing how the NER proteins, XPA, XPC, XPG, CSA, CSB and UV-DDB, work to stimulate known glycosylases involved in the removal of certain forms of base damage resulting from oxidative processes, and also discusses how some oxidative lesions are probably directly repaired through NER. Finally, since many glycosylases are inhibited from working on damage in the context of chromatin, we detail how we believe UV-DDB may be the first responder in altering the structure of damage containing-nucleosomes, allowing access to BER enzymes.

Lost in the Crowd: How Does Human 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase 1 (OGG1) Find 8-Oxoguanine in the Genome? Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218360.

Abstract
The most frequent DNA lesion resulting from an oxidative stress is 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). 8-oxoG is a premutagenic base modification due to its capacity to pair with adenine. Thus, the repair of 8-oxoG is critical for the preservation of the genetic information. Nowadays, 8-oxoG is also considered as an oxidative stress-sensor with a putative role in transcription regulation. In mammalian cells, the modified base is excised by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), initiating the base excision repair (BER) pathway. OGG1 confronts the massive challenge that is finding rare occurrences of 8-oxoG among a million-fold excess of normal guanines. Here, we review the current knowledge on the search and discrimination mechanisms employed by OGG1 to find its substrate in the genome. While there is considerable data from in vitro experiments, much less is known on how OGG1 is recruited to chromatin and scans the genome within the cellular nucleus. Based on what is known of the strategies used by proteins searching for rare genomic targets, we discuss the possible scenarios allowing the efficient detection of 8-oxoG by OGG1.

Abstract
One of the most abundant DNA lesions induced by oxidative stress is the highly mutagenic 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), which is specifically recognized by 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) to initiate its repair. How DNA glycosylases find small non-helix-distorting DNA lesions amongst millions of bases packaged in the chromatin-based architecture of the genome remains an open question. Here, we used a high-throughput siRNA screening to identify factors involved in the recognition of 8-oxoG by OGG1. We show that cohesin and mediator subunits are required for re-localization of OGG1 and other base excision repair factors to chromatin upon oxidative stress. The association of OGG1 with euchromatin is necessary for the removal of 8-oxoG. Mediator subunits CDK8 and MED12 bind to chromatin and interact with OGG1 in response to oxidative stress, suggesting they participate in the recruitment of the DNA glycosylase. The oxidative stress-induced association between the cohesin and mediator complexes and OGG1 reveals an unsuspected function of those complexes in the maintenance of genomic stability.

Abstract
Redox homeostasis is regulated by critical molecules that modulate antioxidant and redox signaling (ARS) within the cell. Imbalances among these molecules can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cell functions, causing a variety of diseases. Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), also known as SMARCA4, is the central ATPase catalytic subunit of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex, which plays a core role in DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcriptional regulation. Numerous recent studies show that BRG1 is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes associated with ARS. BRG1, as a major factor in chromatin remodeling, is essential for the repair of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and the activation of antioxidant genes under oxidative stress. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the roles of BRG1 in redox homeostasis is crucial to understand the normal functioning as well as pathological mechanisms. In this review, we summarized and discussed the role of BRG1 in the regulation of ARS.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a co-ordinated DNA repair pathway that recognises and repairs chemically modified bases and DNA single strand breaks. It is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity and thus in the prevention of the development of human diseases, including premature ageing, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Within the cell, DNA is usually packaged with histone proteins to form chromatin which imposes major constraints on the capacity of cells to perform BER. Therefore chromatin remodelling, stimulated through histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) or ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes (ACRs), are required to stimulate access to the DNA damage and therefore enhance the BER process. Despite this, the molecular mechanisms through which this is co-ordinated and the specific enzymes that promote chromatin remodelling required for BER remain elusive. In this review, we summarise the multitude of in vitro studies utilising mononucleosome substrates containing site-specific DNA base damage that demonstrate the requirement for chromatin remodelling to facilitate BER, particularly in occluded regions. We also highlight preliminary evidence to date for the identity of ACRs, their mechanisms and the role of histone PTMs in modulating the cellular capacity for BER.

Abstract
Epigenetic research has rapidly evolved into a dynamic field of genome biology. Chromatin regulation has been proved to be an essential aspect for all genomic processes, including DNA repair. Chromatin structure is modified by enzymes and factors that deposit, erase, and interact with epigenetic marks such as DNA and histone modifications, as well as by complexes that remodel nucleosomes. In this review we discuss recent advances on how the chromatin state is modulated during this multi-step process of damage recognition, signaling, and repair. Moreover, we examine how chromatin is regulated when different pathways of DNA repair are utilized. Furthermore, we review additional modes of regulation of DNA repair, such as through the role of global and localized chromatin states in maintaining expression of DNA repair genes, as well as through the activity of epigenetic enzymes on non-nucleosome substrates. Finally, we discuss current and future applications of the mechanistic interplays between chromatin regulation and DNA repair in the context cancer treatment.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is the major cellular DNA repair pathway that recognises and excises damaged DNA bases to help maintain genome stability. Whilst the major enzymes and mechanisms co-ordinating BER are well known, the process of BER in chromatin where DNA is compacted with histones, remains unclear. Using reconstituted mononucleosomes containing a site-specific synthetic abasic site (tetrahydrofuran, THF), we demonstrate that the DNA damage is less efficiently incised by recombinant AP endonuclease 1 (APE1) when the DNA backbone is facing the histone core (THF-in) compared to that orientated away (THF-out). However, when utilizing HeLa whole cell extracts, the difference in incision of THF-in versus THF-out is less pronounced suggesting the presence of chromatin remodelling factors that stimulate THF accessibility to APE1. We subsequently purified an activity from HeLa cell extracts and identify this as the E3 ubiquitin ligase, HECTD1. We demonstrate that a recombinant truncated form of HECTD1 can stimulate incision of THF-in by APE1 in vitro by histone ubiquitylation, and that siRNA-mediated depletion of HECTD1 leads to deficiencies in DNA damage repair and decreased cell survival following x-ray irradiation, particularly in normal fibroblasts. Thus, we have now identified HECTD1 as an important factor in promoting BER in chromatin.

Abstract
DNA damage response, DNA repair and genomic instability have been under study for their role in tumor initiation and progression for many years now. More recently, next-generation sequencing on cancer tissue from various patient cohorts have revealed mutations and epigenetic silencing of various genes encoding proteins with roles in these processes. These findings, together with the unequivocal role of DNA repair in therapeutic response, have fueled efforts toward the clinical exploitation of research findings. The successful example of PARP1/2 inhibitors has also supported these efforts and led to numerous preclinical and clinical trials with a large number of small molecules targeting various components involved in DNA repair singularly or in combination with other therapies. In this review, we focus on recent considerations related to DNA damage response and new DNA repair inhibition agents. We then discuss how immunotherapy can collaborate with these new drugs and how epigenetic drugs can rewire the activity of repair pathways and sensitize cancer cells to DNA repair inhibition therapies.

Abstract
Knocking out a chromatin factor often does not alter the transcription of its binding targets. What explains the observed disconnect between binding and effect? We hypothesize that this discrepancy could be associated with the role of chromatin factors in maintaining genetic and epigenetic integrity at promoters, and not necessarily with transcription. Through re-analysis of published datasets, we present several lines of evidence that support our hypothesis and deflate the popular assumptions. We also tested the hypothesis through mutation accumulation assays on yeast knockouts of chromatin factors. Altogether, the proposed hypothesis presents a simple explanation for the global discord between chromatin factor binding and effect. Future work in this direction might fortify the hypothesis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are a constant threat to DNA as they modify bases with the risk of disrupting genome function, inducing genome instability and mutation. Such risks are due to primary oxidative DNA damage and also mediated by the repair process. This leads to a delicate decision process for the cell as to whether to repair a damaged base at a specific genomic location or better leave it unrepaired. Persistent DNA damage can disrupt genome function, but on the other hand it can also contribute to gene regulation by serving as an epigenetic mark. When such processes are out of balance, pathophysiological conditions could get accelerated, because oxidative DNA damage and resulting mutagenic processes are tightly linked to ageing, inflammation, and the development of multiple age-related diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Recent technological advancements and novel data analysis strategies have revealed that oxidative DNA damage, its repair, and related mutations distribute heterogeneously over the genome at multiple levels of resolution. The involved mechanisms act in the context of genome sequence, in interaction with genome function and chromatin. This review addresses what we currently know about the genome distribution of oxidative DNA damage, repair intermediates, and mutations. It will specifically focus on the various methodologies to measure oxidative DNA damage distribution and discuss the mechanistic conclusions derived from the different approaches. It will also address the consequences of oxidative DNA damage, specifically how it gives rise to mutations, genome instability, and how it can act as an epigenetic mark.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) initiated by alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) is essential for removal of aberrantly methylated DNA bases. Genome instability and accumulation of aberrant bases accompany multiple diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders. While BER is well studied on naked DNA, it remains unclear how BER efficiently operates on chromatin. Here, we show that AAG binds to chromatin and forms complex with RNA polymerase (pol) II. This occurs through direct interaction with Elongator and results in transcriptional co-regulation. Importantly, at co-regulated genes, aberrantly methylated bases accumulate towards the 3′end in regions enriched for BER enzymes AAG and APE1, Elongator and active RNA pol II. Active transcription and functional Elongator are further crucial to ensure efficient BER, by promoting AAG and APE1 chromatin recruitment. Our findings provide insights into genome stability maintenance in actively transcribing chromatin and reveal roles of aberrantly methylated bases in regulation of gene expression. How genome stability is maintained at regions of active transcription is currently not entirely clear. Here, the authors reveal an association between base excision repair factors and transcription elongation to modulate DNA repair.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair factor Cockayne syndrome protein B (CSB) was suggested to function in the repair of oxidative DNA damage. However thus far, no clear role for CSB in base excision repair (BER), the dedicated pathway to remove abundant oxidative DNA damage, could be established. Using live cell imaging with a laser-assisted procedure to locally induce 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) lesions, we previously showed that CSB is recruited to these lesions in a transcription-dependent but NER-independent fashion. Here we showed that recruitment of the preferred 8-oxoG-glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is independent of CSB or active transcription. In contrast, recruitment of the BER-scaffolding protein, X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1), to 8-oxoG lesions is stimulated by CSB and transcription. Remarkably, recruitment of XRCC1 to BER-unrelated single strand breaks (SSBs) does not require CSB or transcription. Together, our results suggest a specific transcription-dependent role for CSB in recruiting XRCC1 to BER-generated SSBs, whereas XRCC1 recruitment to SSBs generated independently of BER relies predominantly on PARP activation. Based on our results, we propose a model in which CSB plays a role in facilitating BER progression at transcribed genes, probably to allow XRCC1 recruitment to BER-intermediates masked by RNA polymerase II complexes stalled at these intermediates.

Abstract
DNA damage response (DDR) in eukaryotic cells is initiated in the chromatin context. DNA damage and repair depend on or have influence on the chromatin dynamics associated with genome stability. Epigenetic modifiers, such as chromatin remodelers, histone modifiers, DNA (de-)methylation enzymes, and noncoding RNAs regulate DDR signaling and DNA repair by affecting chromatin dynamics. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of plant DDR and DNA repair. SUPPRESSOR OF GAMMA RESPONSE1, RETINOBLASTOMA RELATED1 (RBR1)/E2FA, and NAC103 have been proven to be key players in the mediation of DDR signaling in plants, while plant-specific chromatin remodelers, such as DECREASED DNA METHYLATION1, contribute to chromatin dynamics for DNA repair. There is accumulating evidence that plant epigenetic modifiers are involved in DDR and DNA repair. In this review, I examine how DDR and DNA repair machineries are concertedly regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana by a variety of epigenetic modifiers directing chromatin remodeling and epigenetic modification. This review will aid in updating our knowledge on DDR and DNA repair in plants.

Abstract
Repair of damaged DNA plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic integrity and normal cell function. The base excision repair (BER) pathway is primarily responsible for removing modified nucleobases that would otherwise cause deleterious and mutagenic consequences and lead to disease. The BER process is initiated by a DNA glycosylase, which recognizes and excises the target nucleobase lesion, and is completed via downstream enzymes acting in a well-coordinated manner. A majority of our current understanding about how BER enzymes function comes from in vitro studies using free duplex DNA as a simplified model. In eukaryotes, however, BER is challenged by the packaging of genomic DNA into chromatin. The fundamental structural repeating unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which presents a more complex substrate context than free duplex DNA for repair. In this chapter, we discuss how BER enzymes, particularly glycosylases, engage in the context of packaged DNA with insights obtained from both in vivo and in vitro studies. Furthermore, we review factors and mechanisms that can modify chromatin architecture and/or influence DNA accessibility to BER machinery, such as the geometric location of the damage site, nucleosomal DNA unwrapping, histone post-translational modifications, histone variant incorporation, and chromatin remodeling.

Abstract
Substituting histone variants for their canonical counterparts can profoundly alter chromatin structure, thereby impacting multiple biological processes. Here, we investigate the influence of histone variants from the H2A family on the excision of uracil (U) by the base excision repair (BER) enzymes uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) and single-strand selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase. Using a DNA population with globally distributed U:G base pairs, enhanced excision is observed in H2A.Z and macroH2A-containing nucleosome core particles (NCPs). The U with reduced solution accessibility exhibit limited UDG activity in canonical NCPs but are more readily excised in variant NCPs, reflecting the ability of these variants to facilitate excision at sites that are otherwise poorly repaired. We also find that U with the largest increase in the level of excision in variant NCPs are clustered in regions with differential structural features between the variants and canonical H2A. Within 35-40 bp of the DNA terminus in macroH2A NCPs, the activities of both glycosylases are comparable to that on the free duplex. We show that this high level of activity results from two distinct species within the macroH2A NCP ensemble: octasomes and hexasomes. These observations reveal potential functions for H2A variants in promoting BER and preventing mutagenesis within the context of chromatin.

Abstract
Ribonucleotides can be incorporated into DNA through many different cellular processes, and abundant amounts of ribonucleotides are detected in genomic DNA. Embedded ribonucleotides lead to genomic instability through either spontaneous ribonucleotide cleavage via internal transesterification or by inducing mutagenesis, recombination, and chromosome rearrangements. Ribonucleotides misincorporated in genomic DNA can be removed by the ribonucleotide excision repair (RER) pathway in which RNase HII initiates the repair by cleaving the 5'-phosphate of the ribonucleotide. Herein, based on in vitro reconstituted nucleosome core particles (NCPs) containing a single ribonucleotide at different positions, we studied the kinetics of ribonucleotide cleavage via the internal transesterification reaction and repair of the ribonucleotides by RNase HII in NCPs. Our results show that ribonucleotide cleavage via the internal transesterification in NCPs is suppressed compared to that in free DNA. DNA bending and structural rigidity account for the suppressed ribonucleotide cleavage in NCPs. Ribonucleotide repair by RNase HII in NCPs exhibits a strong correlation between the translational and rotational positions of the ribonucleotides. An embedded ribonucleotide located at the entry site while facing outward in NCP is repaired as efficiently as that in free DNA. However, the repair of those located in the central part of NCPs and facing inward are inhibited by up to 273-fold relative to those in free dsDNA. The difference in repair efficiency appears to arise from their different accessibility to repair enzymes in NCPs. This study reveals that a ribonucleotide misincorporated in DNA assembled into NCPs is protected against cleavage. Hence, the spontaneous cleavage of the misincorporated ribonucleotides under physiological conditions is not an essential threat to the stability of chromatin DNA. Instead, their decreased repair efficiency in NCPs may result in numerous and persistent ribonucleotides in genomic DNA, which could exert other deleterious effects on DNA such as mutagenesis and recombination.

Abstract
Chromatin is a significant barrier to many DNA damage response (DDR) factors, such as DNA repair enzymes, that process DNA lesions to reduce mutations and prevent cell death; yet, paradoxically, chromatin also has a critical role in many signaling pathways that regulate the DDR. The primary level of DNA packaging in chromatin is the nucleosome core particle (NCP), consisting of DNA wrapped around an octamer of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Here, we review recent studies characterizing how the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes modulates the activity of the base excision repair (BER) pathway and dictates BER subpathway choice. We also review new evidence indicating that the histone amino-terminal tails coordinately regulate multiple DDR pathways during the repair of alkylation damage in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Site-specific DNA binding proteins must search the genome to locate their target sites, and many DNA modifying enzymes have the ability to scan along DNA in search of their substrates. This process is termed processive searching, and it serves to decrease the search time by effectively increasing the DNA binding footprint of a protein. The repertoire of proteins capable of processive searching is expanding, highlighting the need to understand the governing principles behind this fundamental process. Many of the enzymes in the base excision DNA repair pathway are capable of processive searching. Here, we briefly summarize methodology for determining if a protein can scan DNA and highlight the discovery that the base excision repair DNA polymerase β performs a processive search. Elucidation of physical models for DNA searching has also provided a plausible mechanism for pathway coordination during repair. The ability of BER enzymes to transiently sample adjacent DNA sites while bound to their product confers accessibility to downstream enzymes and does not require protein-protein interactions for coordination.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide-resolution sequencing of DNA damage is required to decipher the complex causal link between the identity and location of DNA adducts and their biological impact. However, the low abundance and inability to specifically amplify DNA damage hinders single-nucleotide mapping of adducts within whole genomes. Despite the high biological relevance of guanine oxidation and seminal recent advances in sequencing bulky adducts, single-nucleotide-resolution whole genome mapping of oxidative damage is not yet realized. We coupled the specificity of repair enzymes with the efficiency of a click DNA ligation reaction to insert a biocompatible locator code, enabling high-throughput, nucleotide-resolution sequencing of oxidative DNA damage in a genome. We uncovered thousands of oxidation sites with distinct patterns related to transcription, chromatin architecture, and chemical oxidation potential. Click-code-seq overcomes barriers to DNA damage sequencing and provides a new approach for generating comprehensive, sequence-specific information about chemical modification patterns in whole genomes.

Abstract
DNA polymerase (Pol) β maintains genome fidelity by catalyzing DNA synthesis and removal of a reactive DNA repair intermediate during base excision repair (BER). Situated within the middle of the BER pathway, Pol β must efficiently locate its substrates before damage is exacerbated. The mechanisms of damage search and location by Pol β are largely unknown, but are critical for understanding the fundamental features of the BER pathway. We developed a processive search assay to determine if Pol β has evolved a mechanism for efficient DNA damage location. These assays revealed that Pol β scans DNA using a processive hopping mechanism and has a mean search footprint of ∼24 bp at predicted physiological ionic strength. Lysines within the lyase domain are required for processive searching, revealing a novel function for the lyase domain of Pol β. Application of our processive search assay into nucleosome core particles revealed that Pol β is not processive in the context of a nucleosome, and its single-turnover activity is reduced ∼500-fold, as compared to free DNA. These data suggest that the repair footprint of Pol β mainly resides within accessible regions of the genome and that these regions can be scanned for damage by Pol β.

Abstract
Packaging of DNA into the nucleosome core particle (NCP) is considered to exert constraints to all DNA-templated processes, including base excision repair where Pol β catalyzes two key enzymatic steps: 5'-dRP lyase gap trimming and template-directed DNA synthesis. Despite its biological significance, knowledge of Pol β activities on NCPs is still limited. Here, we show that removal of the 5'-dRP block by Pol β is unaffected by NCP constraints at all sites tested and is even enhanced near the DNA ends. In contrast, strong inhibition of DNA synthesis is observed. These results indicate 5'-dRP gap trimming proceeds unperturbed within the NCP; whereas, gap filling is strongly limited. In the absence of additional factors, base excision repair in NCPs will stall at the gap-filling step.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species generate some 20,000 base lesions per human cell per day. The vast majority of these potentially mutagenic or cytotoxic lesions are subject to base excision repair (BER). Although chromatin remodelers have been shown to enhance the excision of oxidized bases from nucleosomes in vitro, it is not clear that they are recruited to and act at sites of BER in vivo. To test the hypothesis that cells possess factors that enhance BER in chromatin, we assessed the capacity of nuclear extracts from human cells to excise thymine glycol (Tg) lesions from exogenously added, model nucleosomes. The DNA glycosylase NTHL1 in these extracts was able to excise Tg from both naked DNA and sites in nucleosomes that earlier studies had shown to be sterically accessible. However, the same extracts were able to excise lesions from sterically-occluded sites in nucleosomes only after the addition of Mg2+/ATP. Gel mobility shift assays indicated that nucleosomes remain largely intact following the Mg2+/ATP -dependent excision reaction. Size exclusion chromatography indicated that the NTHL1-stimulating activity has a relatively low molecular weight, close to that of NTHL1 and other BER glycosylases; column fractions that contained the very large chromatin remodeling complexes did not exhibit this same stimulatory activity. These results indicate that cells possess a factor(s) that promotes the initiation of BER in chromatin, but differs from most known chromatin remodeling complexes.

Abstract
If unrepaired, damage to genomic DNA can cause mutations and/or be cytotoxic. Single base lesions are repaired via the base excision repair (BER) pathway. The first step in BER is the recognition and removal of the nucleobase lesion by a glycosylase enzyme. For example, human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) is responsible for removal of the prototypic oxidatively damaged nucleobase, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). To date, most studies of glycosylases have used free duplex DNA substrates. However, cellular DNA is packaged as repeating nucleosome units, with 145 base pair segments of DNA wrapped around histone protein octamers. Previous studies revealed inhibition of hOGG1 at the nucleosome dyad axis and in the absence of chromatin remodelers. In this study, we reveal that even in the absence of chromatin remodelers or external cofactors, hOGG1 can initiate BER at positions off the dyad axis and that this activity is facilitated by spontaneous and transient unwrapping of DNA from the histones. Additionally, we find that solution accessibility as determined by hydroxyl radical footprinting is not fully predictive of glycosylase activity and that histone tails can suppress hOGG1 activity. We therefore suggest that local nuances in the nucleosome environment and histone-DNA interactions can impact glycosylase activity.

Abstract
Genomic DNA is prone to a large number of insults by a myriad of endogenous and exogenous agents. The base excision repair (BER) is the major mechanism used by cells for the removal of various DNA lesions spontaneously or environmentally induced and the maintenance of genome integrity. The presence of persistent DNA damage is not compatible with life, since abrogation of BER leads to early embryonic lethality in mice. There are several lines of evidences showing existence of a link between deficient BER, cancer proneness and ageing, thus illustrating the importance of this DNA repair pathway in human health. Although the enzymology of BER mechanisms has been largely elucidated using chemically defined DNA damage substrates and purified proteins, the complex interplay of BER with another vital process like transcription or when DNA is in its natural state (i.e. wrapped in nucleosome and assembled in chromatin fiber is largely unexplored. Cells use chromatin remodeling factors to overcome the general repression associated with the nucleosomal organization. It is broadly accepted that energy-dependent nucleosome remodeling factors disrupt histones-DNA interactions at the expense of ATP hydrolysis to favor transcription as well as DNA repair. Importantly, unlike transcription, BER is not part of a regulated developmental process but represents a maintenance system that should be efficient anytime and anywhere in the genome. In this review we will discuss how BER can deal with chromatin organization to maintain genetic information. Emphasis will be placed on the following challenging question: how BER is initiated within chromatin?

Abstract
Oxidatively damaged DNA results from the attack of sugar and base moieties by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are formed as byproducts of normal cell metabolism and during exposure to endogenous or exogenous chemical or physical agents. Guanine, having the lowest redox potential, is the DNA base the most susceptible to oxidation, yielding products such as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) and 2-6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG). In DNA, 8-oxoG was shown to be mutagenic yielding GC to TA transversions upon incorporation of dAMP opposite this lesion by replicative DNA polymerases. In prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, 8-oxoG is primarily repaired by the base excision repair pathway (BER) initiated by a DNA N-glycosylase, Fpg and OGG1, respectively. In Escherichia coli, Fpg cooperates with MutY and MutT to prevent 8-oxoG-induced mutations, the "GO-repair system". In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, OGG1 cooperates with nucleotide excision repair (NER), mismatch repair (MMR), post-replication repair (PRR) and DNA polymerase η to prevent mutagenesis. Human and mouse cells mobilize all these pathways using OGG1, MUTYH (MutY-homolog also known as MYH), MTH1 (MutT-homolog also known as NUDT1), NER, MMR, NEILs and DNA polymerases η and λ, to prevent 8-oxoG-induced mutations. In fact, mice deficient in both OGG1 and MUTYH develop cancer in different organs at adult age, which points to the critical impact of 8-oxoG repair on genetic stability in mammals. In this review, we will focus on Fpg and OGG1 proteins, their biochemical and structural properties as well as their biological roles. Other DNA N-glycosylases able to release 8-oxoG from damaged DNA in various organisms will be discussed. Finally, we will report on the role of OGG1 in human disease and the possible use of 8-oxoG DNA N-glycosylases as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Damage to genomic DNA leads to mutagenesis and disease. Repair of single base damage is initiated by DNA glycosylases, the first enzymes in the base excision repair pathway. Although eukaryotic packaging of chromosomal DNA in nucleosomes is known to decrease DNA glycosylase efficiency, the impact on individual glycosylases is unclear. Here, we present a model system in which we examine the repair of site-specific base damage in well-characterized nucleosome core particles by five different DNA glycosylases. We find that DNA glycosylase efficiency on nucleosome substrates depends not only on the geometric orientation of the damaged base but also on its identity, as well as on the size, structure, and mechanism of the glycosylase. We show via molecular modeling that inhibition of glycosylase activity is largely due to steric obstruction by the nucleosome core.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species generate potentially cytotoxic and mutagenic lesions in DNA, both between and within the nucleosomes that package DNA in chromatin. The vast majority of these lesions are subject to base excision repair (BER). Enzymes that catalyze the first three steps in BER can act at many sites in nucleosomes without the aid of chromatin-remodeling agents and without irreversibly disrupting the host nucleosome. Here we show that the same is true for a protein complex comprising DNA ligase IIIα and the scaffolding protein X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1), which completes the fourth and final step in (short-patch) BER. Using in vitro assembled nucleosomes containing discretely positioned DNA nicks, our evidence indicates that the ligase IIIα-XRCC1 complex binds to DNA nicks in nucleosomes only when they are exposed by periodic, spontaneous partial unwrapping of DNA from the histone octamer; that the scaffolding protein XRCC1 enhances the ligation; that the ligation occurs within a complex that ligase IIIα-XRCC1 forms with the host nucleosome; and that the ligase IIIα-XRCC1-nucleosome complex decays when ligation is complete, allowing the host nucleosome to return to its native configuration. Taken together, our results illustrate ways in which dynamic properties intrinsic to nucleosomes may contribute to the discovery and efficient repair of base damage in chromatin.

Abstract
Regular exercise has systemic beneficial effects, including the promotion of brain function. The adaptive response to regular exercise involves the up-regulation of the enzymatic antioxidant system and modulation of oxidative damage. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important regulators of cell signaling. Exercise, via intensity-dependent modulation of metabolism and/or directly activated ROS generating enzymes, regulates the cellular redox state of the brain. ROS are also involved in the self-renewal and differentiation of neuronal stem cells and the exercise-mediated neurogenesis could be partly associated with ROS production. Exercise has strong effects on the immune system and readily alters the production of cytokines. Certain cytokines, especially IL-6, IL-1, TNF-α, IL-18 and IFN gamma, are actively involved in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis. Cytokines can also contribute to ROS production. ROS-mediated alteration of lipids, protein, and DNA could directly affect brain function, while exercise modulates the accumulation of oxidative damage. Oxidative alteration of macromolecules can activate signaling processes, membrane remodeling, and gene transcription. The well known neuroprotective effects of exercise are partly due to redox-associated adaptation.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile pathway that removes helix-distorting DNA lesions from the genomes of organisms across the evolutionary scale, from bacteria to humans. The serial steps in NER involve recognition of lesions, adducts or structures that disrupt the DNA double helix, removal of a short oligonucleotide containing the offending lesion, synthesis of a repair patch copying the opposite undamaged strand, and ligation, to restore the DNA to its original form. Transcription-coupled repair (TCR) is a subpathway of NER dedicated to the repair of lesions that, by virtue of their location on the transcribed strands of active genes, encumber elongation by RNA polymerases. In this review, I report on recent findings that contribute to the elucidation of TCR mechanisms in the bacterium Escherichia coli, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells. I review general models for the biochemical pathways and how and when cells might choose to utilize TCR or other pathways for repair or bypass of transcription-blocking DNA alterations.

Abstract
FACT, in addition to its role in transcription, is likely implicated in both transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair and DNA double strand break repair. Here, we present evidence that FACT could be directly involved in Base Excision Repair and elucidate the chromatin remodeling mechanisms of FACT during BER. We found that, upon oxidative stress, FACT is released from transcription related protein complexes to get associated with repair proteins and chromatin remodelers from the SWI/SNF family. We also showed the rapid recruitment of FACT to the site of damage, coincident with the glycosylase OGG1, upon the local generation of oxidized DNA. Interestingly, FACT facilitates uracil-DNA glycosylase in the removal of uracil from nucleosomal DNA thanks to an enhancement in the remodeling activity of RSC. This discloses a novel property of FACT wherein it has a co-remodeling activity and strongly enhances the remodeling capacity of the chromatin remodelers. Altogether, our data suggest that FACT may acts in concert with RSC to facilitate excision of DNA lesions during the initial step of BER. In the nucleus, DNA is packaged into chromatin. The repeating unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, consists of a histone octamer around which DNA is wrapped into two superhelical turns. The nucleosome is a barrier for various nuclear processes which require access to DNA. To repair lesions on DNA, this barrier has to be overcome by either nucleosome remodeling or by histone eviction. Here we present evidence that FACT, a protein known to be involved in transcription, is also involved in BER, by boosting nucleosome remodeling. Upon in vivo oxidized DNA lesion induction, FACT exhibits a BER-like protein behavior, and it is recruited to the sites of DNA damages. In vitro experiments show that FACT boosts the remodeling activity of the chromatin remodeler RSC and is implicated in DNA repair. The presence of FACT greatly facilitates the removal of uracil from nucleosomal, but not from naked DNA, in a RSC-mediated reaction. Taken collectively, our in vitro and in vivo data reveal a role of FACT in BER by helping the remodeling of chromatin at the sites of lesions.
