Dahal S, Dubey S, Raghavan SC. Homologous recombination-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks operates in mammalian mitochondria. Cell Mol Life Sci 2018; 75:1641-1655. [PMID: 29116362 PMCID: PMC11105789 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-017-2702-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2017] [Revised: 10/23/2017] [Accepted: 10/30/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA is frequently exposed to oxidative damage, as compared to nuclear DNA. Previously, we have shown that while microhomology-mediated end joining can account for DNA deletions in mitochondria, classical nonhomologous DNA end joining, the predominant double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway in nucleus, is undetectable. In the present study, we investigated the presence of homologous recombination (HR) in mitochondria to maintain its genomic integrity. Biochemical studies revealed that HR-mediated repair of DSBs is more efficient in the mitochondria of testes as compared to that of brain, kidney and spleen. Interestingly, a significant increase in the efficiency of HR was observed when a DSB was introduced. Analyses of the clones suggest that most of the recombinants were generated through reciprocal exchange, while ~ 30% of recombinants were due to gene conversion in testicular extracts. Colocalization and immunoblotting studies showed the presence of RAD51 and MRN complex proteins in the mitochondria and immunodepletion of MRE11, RAD51 or NIBRIN suppressed the HR-mediated repair. Thus, our results reveal importance of homologous recombination in the maintenance of mitochondrial genome stability.

Abstract
Lately, we can observe significant progress in understanding mechanism of DNA repair owing to fast methods of DNA sequence analysis from different organisms the revealing of structure and function of DNA repair proteins in prokaryota and eukaryota. The protozoan parasites survival depends on DNA repair systems. Better understanding of DNA repair systems can help in new antipathogen drug development. This review is aimed at updating our current knowledge of the various repair pathways by providing an overview of DNA repair genes regarding Toxoplasma gondii infections and the corresponding proteins, participating either directly in DNA repair, or in checkpoint control and signaling of DNA damage.

Abstract
By isolating putative binding partners through the two-hybrid system (THS) we further extended the characterization of the specific interstrand cross-link (ICL) repair gene PSO2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nine fusion protein products were isolated for Pso2p using THS, among them the Sak1 kinase, which interacted with the C-terminal β-CASP domain of Pso2p. Comparison of mutagen-sensitivity phenotypes of pso2Δ, sak1Δ and pso2Δsak1Δ disruptants revealed that SAK1 is necessary for complete WT-like repair. The epistatic interaction of both mutant alleles suggests that Sak1p and Pso2p act in the same pathway of controlling sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. We also observed that Pso2p is phosphorylated by Sak1 kinase in vitro and co-immunoprecipitates with Sak1p after 8-MOP+UVA treatment. Survival data after treatment of pso2Δ, yku70Δ and yku70Δpso2Δ with nitrogen mustard, PSO2 and SAK1 with YKU70 or DNL4 single-, double- and triple mutants with 8-MOP+UVA indicated that ICL repair is independent of YKu70p and DNL4p in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, a non-epistatic interaction was observed between MRE11, PSO2 and SAK1 genes after ICL induction, indicating that their encoded proteins act on the same substrate, but in distinct repair pathways. In contrast, an epistatic interaction was observed for PSO2 and RAD52, PSO2 and RAD50, PSO2 and XRS2 genes in 8-MOP+UVA treated exponentially growing cells.

Abstract
Inability to correctly repair DNA damage is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been identified, which modify the DNA repair capacity, which in turn may affect the risk of developing breast cancer. To assess whether alterations in DNA repair genes contribute to breast cancer, we genotyped 62 SNPs in 29 genes in 1,109 Cypriot women with breast cancer and 1,177 age-matched healthy controls. Five SNPs were associated with breast cancer. SNPs rs13312840 and rs769416 in the NBS1 gene were associated with a decrease in breast cancer risk (OR TT vs. TC/CC = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.37-0.92; P = 0.019 and OR GG vs. GT/TT = 0.23, 95% CI 0.06-0.85, P = 0.017, respectively). The variant allele of MRE11A rs556477 was also associated with a reduced risk of developing the disease (OR AA vs. AG/GG = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.64-0.91; P = 0.0022). MUS81 rs545500 and PBOV1 rs6927706 SNPs were associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer (OR GG vs. GC/CC = 1.21, 95% CI, 1.02-1.45; P = 0.031; OR AA vs. AG/GG = 1.53, 95% CI, 1.07-2.18; P = 0.019, respectively). Finally, haplotype-based tests identified significant associations between specific haplotypes in MRE11A and NBS1 genes and breast cancer risk. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are considered to be a severe form of DNA damage, because if left unrepaired, they can cause a cell death and, if misrepaired, they can lead to genomic instability and, ultimately, the development of cancer in multicellular organisms. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae repairs DSB primarily by homologous recombination (HR), despite the presence of the KU70, KU80, DNA ligase IV and XRCC4 homologues, essential factors of the mammalian non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) machinery. S. cerevisiae, however, lacks clear DNA-PKcs and ARTEMIS homologues, two important additional components of mammalian NHEJ. On the other hand, S. cerevisiae is endowed with a regulatory NHEJ component, Nej1, which has not yet been found in other organisms. Furthermore, there is evidence in budding yeast for a requirement for the Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 complex for NHEJ, which does not appear to be the case either in Schizosaccharomyces pombe or in mammals. Here, we comprehensively describe the functions of all the S. cerevisiae NHEJ components identified so far and present current knowledge about the NHEJ process in this organism. In addition, this review depicts S. cerevisiae as a powerful model system for investigating the utilization of either NHEJ or HR in DSB repair.

Abstract
DNA-damaging agents constantly challenge cellular DNA; and efficient DNA repair is therefore essential to maintain genome stability and cell viability. Several DNA repair mechanisms have evolved and these have been shown to be highly conserved from bacteria to man. DNA repair studies were originally initiated in very simple organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, bacteria being the best understood organism to date. As a consequence, bacterial DNA repair genes encoding proteins with well characterized functions have been transferred into higher organisms in order to increase repair capacity, or to complement repair defects, in heterologous cells. While indicating the contribution of these repair functions to protection against the genotoxic effects of DNA-damaging agents, heterologous expression studies also highlighted the role of the DNA lesions that are substrates for such processes. In addition, bacterial DNA repair-like functions could be identified in higher organisms using this approach. We heterologously expressed three well characterized E. coli repair genes in S. cerevisiae cells of different genetic backgrounds: (1) the ada gene encoding O(6)-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase, a protein involved in the repair of alkylation damage to DNA, (2) the recA gene encoding the main recombinase in E. coli and (3) the nth gene, the product of which (endonuclease III) is responsible for the repair of oxidative base damage. Here, we summarize our results and indicate the possible implications they have for a better understanding of particular DNA repair processes in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
The mutagenic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been determined in human lymphocytes. T-lymphocytes mutated at the autosomal HLA-A locus on chromosome 6 have been clonally isolated (N = 2097 clones) and the molecular basis of each clonal mutation characterised as due to intragenic, deletion or mitotic recombination mutation. H(2)O(2) caused a dose dependent increase in mutation frequency. There was no significant increase in the frequency of intragenic mutations. Mitotic recombination (MR) was responsible for 87% of the increase in mutation frequency induced by H(2)O(2) and gene deletion was responsible for 13%. MR results in loss of heterozygosity (LOH) distal to the recombination site. It is known that LOH is important in the initiation and progression of cancer. These results suggest that the biologically important consequence of some ROS may be LOH as a by-product of recombination repair. They also suggest that if our observations apply to ROS generally, then many of the mutations which accumulate with ageing or which are observed in cancer may be due to factors other than ROS.
