Abstract
High-level folding of chromatin is a key determinant of the shape and functional state of chromosomes. During cell division, structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes such as condensin and cohesin ensure large-scale folding of chromatin into visible chromosomes. In contrast, the SMC5/6 complex plays more local and context-specific roles in the structural organization of interphase chromosomes with important implications for health and disease. Recent advances in single-molecule biophysics and cryo-electron microscopy revealed key insights into the architecture of the SMC5/6 complex and how interactions connecting the complex to chromatin components give rise to its unique repertoire of interphase functions. In this review, we provide an integrative view of the features that differentiates the SMC5/6 complex from other SMC enzymes and how these enable dramatic reorganization of DNA folding in space during DNA repair reactions and other genome transactions. Finally, we explore the mechanistic basis for the dynamic targeting of the SMC5/6 complex to damaged chromatin and its crucial role in human health.

Xu MJ, Jordan PW. SMC5/6 Promotes Replication Fork Stability via Negative Regulation of the COP9 Signalosome. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:952. [PMID: 38256025 PMCID: PMC10815603 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25020952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
It is widely accepted that DNA replication fork stalling is a common occurrence during cell proliferation, but there are robust mechanisms to alleviate this and ensure DNA replication is completed prior to chromosome segregation. The SMC5/6 complex has consistently been implicated in the maintenance of replication fork integrity. However, the essential role of the SMC5/6 complex during DNA replication in mammalian cells has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigate the molecular consequences of SMC5/6 loss at the replication fork in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), employing the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system to deplete SMC5 acutely and reversibly in the defined cellular contexts of replication fork stall and restart. In SMC5-depleted cells, we identify a defect in the restart of stalled replication forks, underpinned by excess MRE11-mediated fork resection and a perturbed localization of fork protection factors to the stalled fork. Previously, we demonstrated a physical and functional interaction of SMC5/6 with the COP9 signalosome (CSN), a cullin deneddylase that enzymatically regulates cullin ring ligase (CRL) activity. Employing a combination of DNA fiber techniques, the AID system, small-molecule inhibition assays, and immunofluorescence microscopy analyses, we show that SMC5/6 promotes the localization of fork protection factors to stalled replication forks by negatively modulating the COP9 signalosome (CSN). We propose that the SMC5/6-mediated modulation of the CSN ensures that CRL activity and their roles in DNA replication fork stabilization are maintained to allow for efficient replication fork restart when a replication fork stall is alleviated.

MALAT1 expression is associated with aggressive behavior in indolent B-cell neoplasms. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16839. [PMID: 37803049 PMCID: PMC10558466 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44174-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023] Open
Abstract
MALAT1 long non-coding RNA has oncogenic roles but has been poorly studied in indolent B-cell neoplasms. Here, MALAT1 expression was analyzed using RNA-seq, microarrays or qRT-PCR in primary samples from clinico-biological subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, n = 266), paired Richter transformation (RT, n = 6) and follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 61). In peripheral blood (PB) CLL samples, high MALAT1 expression was associated with a significantly shorter time to treatment independently from other known prognostic factors. Coding genes expressed in association with MALAT1 in CLL were predominantly related to oncogenic pathways stimulated in the lymph node (LN) microenvironment. In RT paired samples, MALAT1 levels were lower, concordant with their acquired increased independency of external signals. Moreover, MALAT1 levels in paired PB/LN CLLs were similar, suggesting that the prognostic value of MALAT1 expression in PB is mirroring expression differences already present in LN. Similarly, high MALAT1 expression in FL predicted for a shorter progression-free survival, in association with expression pathways promoting FL pathogenesis. In summary, MALAT1 expression is related to pathophysiology and more aggressive clinical behavior of indolent B-cell neoplasms. Particularly in CLL, its levels could be a surrogate marker of the microenvironment stimulation and may contribute to refine the clinical management of these patients.

Identification and quantification of protein nitration sites in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells in the absence and presence of peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite. Redox Biol 2023; 64:102799. [PMID: 37413764 PMCID: PMC10363479 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO-) is a powerful oxidizing/nitrating system formed at sites of inflammation, which can modify biological targets, and particularly proteins. Here, we show that multiple proteins from primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells are nitrated, with LC-MS peptide mass mapping providing data on the sites and extents of changes on cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Evidence is presented for selective and specific nitrations at Tyr and Trp on 11 cellular proteins (out of 3668, including 205 ECM species) in the absence of added reagent ONOOH/ONOO-, with this being consistent with low-level endogenous nitration. A number of these have key roles in cell signaling/sensing and protein turnover. With added ONOOH/ONOO-, more proteins were modified (84 total; with 129 nitrated Tyr and 23 nitrated Trp, with multiple modifications on some proteins), with this occurring at the same and additional sites to endogenous modification. With low concentrations of ONOOH/ONOO- (50 μM) nitration occurs on specific proteins at particular sites, and is not driven by protein or Tyr/Trp abundance, with modifications detected on some low abundance proteins. However, with higher ONOOH/ONOO- concentrations (500 μM), modification is primarily driven by protein abundance. ECM species are major targets and over-represented in the pool of modified proteins, with fibronectin and thrombospondin-1 being particularly heavily modified (12 sites in each case). Both endogenous and exogenous nitration of cell- and ECM-derived species may have significant effects on cell and protein function, and potentially be involved in the development and exacerbation of diseases such as atherosclerosis.
