    Abstract Expression of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) is a determinant of malignancy in gliomas through kynurenine (KYN) signaling. We report that inhibition of TDO activity attenuated recovery from replication stress and increased the genotoxic effects of bis-chloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU). Activation of the Chk1 arm of the replication stress response (RSR) was reduced when TDO activity was blocked prior to BCNU treatment, whereas phosphorylation of serine 33 (pS33) on replication protein A (RPA) was enhanced-indicative of increased fork collapse. Analysis of quantitative proteomic results revealed that TDO inhibition reduced nuclear 53BP1 and sirtuin levels. We confirmed that cells lacking TDO activity exhibited elevated gamma-H2AX signal and defective recruitment of 53BP1 to chromatin following BCNU treatment, which corresponded with delayed repair of DNA breaks. Addition of exogenous KYN increased the rate of break repair. TDO inhibition diminished SIRT7 deacetylase recruitment to chromatin, which increased histone H3K18 acetylation-a key mark involved in preventing 53BP1 recruitment to sites of DNA damage. TDO inhibition also sensitized cells to ionizing radiation (IR)-induced damage, but this effect did not involve altered 53BP1 recruitment. These experiments support a model where TDO-mediated KYN signaling helps fuel a robust response to replication stress and DNA damage.

    Abstract We previously reported that human Rev1 (hRev1) bound to a parallel-stranded G-quadruplex (G4) from the c-MYC promoter with high affinity. We have extended those results to include other G4 motifs, finding that hRev1 exhibited stronger affinity for parallel-stranded G4 than either anti-parallel or hybrid folds. Amino acids in the αE helix of insert-2 were identified as being important for G4 binding. Mutating E466 and Y470 to alanine selectively perturbed G4 binding affinity. The E466K mutant restored wild-type G4 binding properties. Using a forward mutagenesis assay, we discovered that loss of hRev1 increased G4 mutation frequency >200-fold compared to the control sequence. Base substitutions and deletions occurred around and within the G4 motif. Pyridostatin (PDS) exacerbated this effect, as the mutation frequency increased >700-fold over control and deletions upstream of the G4 site more than doubled. Mutagenic replication of G4 DNA (±PDS) was partially rescued by wild-type and E466K hRev1. The E466A or Y470A mutants failed to suppress the PDS-induced increase in G4 mutation frequency. These findings have implications for the role of insert-2, a motif conserved in vertebrates but not yeast or plants, in Rev1-mediated suppression of mutagenesis during G4 replication.

    Abstract Overexpression of human DNA polymerase kappa (hpol κ) in glioblastoma is associated with shorter survival time and resistance to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), making it an attractive target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors. We previously reported on the development and characterization of indole barbituric acid-derived (IBA) inhibitors of translesion DNA synthesis polymerases (TLS pols). We have now identified a potent and selective inhibitor of hpol κ based on the indole-aminoguanidine (IAG) chemical scaffold. The most promising IAG analogue, IAG-10, exhibited greater inhibitory action against hpol κ than any other human Y-family member, as well as pols from the A-, B-, and X-families. Inhibition of hpol κ by IAG analogues appears to proceed through a mechanism that is distinct from inhibition of hpol η based on changes in DNA binding affinity and nucleotide insertion kinetics. By way of comparison, both IAG and IBA analogues inhibited binary complex formation by hpol κ and ternary complex formation by hpol η. Decreasing the concentration of enzyme and DNA in the reaction mixture lowered the IC

    Abstract We have investigated the in vitro properties of human Y-family polymerase κ (hpol κ) on G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA). Similar to hpol η, another Y-family member implicated in replication of G4 motifs, hpol κ bound G4 DNA with a 5.7-fold preference over control, non-G4 DNA. Results from pol extension assays are consistent with the notion that G-quadruplexes present a stronger barrier to DNA synthesis by hpol κ than they do to that by hpol η. However, kinetic analysis revealed that hpol κ activity increases considerably when the enzyme is 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, a trend that was reported previously for hpol η, though the increase was less pronounced. The increase in hpol κ activity on G4 DNA was readily observed in the presence of either potassium or sodium but much less so when lithium was used in the buffer. The increased activity 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif was accompanied by a decrease in the fidelity of hpol κ when the counterion was either potassium or sodium but not in the presence of lithium. The activity of hpol κ decreased progressively as the primer was moved closer than 2 nucleotides from the G4 motif when either potassium or sodium was used to stabilize the G-quadruplex. Interestingly, the decrease in catalytic activity at the site of the quadruplex observed in potassium-containing buffer was accompanied by an increase in fidelity on G4 substrates versus control non-G4 substrates. This trend of increased fidelity in copying a tetrad-associated guanine was observed previously for hpol η, but not for the B-family member hpol ε, which exhibited a large decrease in both efficiency and fidelity in the attempt to copy the first guanine in the G4 motif. In summary, hpol κ activity was enhanced relative to those of other Y-family members when the enzyme is 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, but hpol κ appears to be less competent than hpol η at copying tetrad-associated guanines.

    Abstract Human DNA polymerase kappa (hpol κ) is the only Y-family member to preferentially insert dAMP opposite 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) during translesion DNA synthesis. We have studied the mechanism of action by which hpol κ activity is modulated by the Werner syndrome protein (WRN), a RecQ helicase known to influence repair of 8-oxo-dG. Here we show that WRN stimulates the 8-oxo-dG bypass activity of hpol κ in vitro by enhancing the correct base insertion opposite the lesion, as well as extension from dC:8-oxo-dG base pairs. Steady-state kinetic analysis reveals that WRN improves hpol κ-catalyzed dCMP insertion opposite 8-oxo-dG ∼10-fold and extension from dC:8-oxo-dG by 2.4-fold. Stimulation is primarily due to an increase in the rate constant for polymerization (kpol), as assessed by pre-steady-state kinetics, and it requires the RecQ C-terminal (RQC) domain. In support of the functional data, recombinant WRN and hpol κ were found to physically interact through the exo and RQC domains of WRN, and co-localization of WRN and hpol κ was observed in human cells treated with hydrogen peroxide. Thus, WRN limits the error-prone bypass of 8-oxo-dG by hpol κ, which could influence the sensitivity to oxidative damage that has previously been observed for Werner's syndrome cells.

    Abstract Li Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline mutations in TP53. TP53 is the most common mutated gene in human cancer, occurring in 30-50% of glioblastomas (GBM). Here, we highlight a precision medicine platform to identify potential targets for a GBM patient with LFS. We used a comparative transcriptomics approach to identify genes that are uniquely overexpressed in the LFS GBM patient relative to a cancer compendium of 12,747 tumor RNA sequencing data sets, including 200 GBMs. STAT1 and STAT2 were identified as being significantly overexpressed in the LFS patient, indicating ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase 1 and 2 inhibitors, as a potential therapy. The LFS patient had the highest level of STAT1 and STAT2 expression in an institutional high-grade glioma cohort of 45 patients, further supporting the cancer compendium results. To empirically validate the comparative transcriptomics pipeline, we used a combination of adherent and organoid cell culture techniques, including ex vivo patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from four patient-derived cell lines, including the LFS patient. STAT1 and STAT2 expression levels in the four patient-derived cells correlated with levels identified in the respective parent tumors. In both adherent and organoid cultures, cells from the LFS patient were among the most sensitive to ruxolitinib compared to patient-derived cells with lower STAT1 and STAT2 expression levels. A spheroid-based drug screening assay (3D-PREDICT) was performed and used to identify further therapeutic targets. Two targeted therapies were selected for the patient of interest and resulted in radiographic disease stability. This manuscript supports the use of comparative transcriptomics to identify personalized therapeutic targets in a functional precision medicine platform for malignant brain tumors.

    Abstract The Y-family DNA polymerase Rev1 is required for successful replication of G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we show that human Rev1 (hRev1) disrupts G4 DNA structures and prevents refolding in vitro. Nucleotidyl transfer by hRev1 is not necessary for mechanical unfolding to occur. hRev1 binds G4 DNA substrates with Kd,DNA values that are 4-15-fold lower than those of non-G4 DNA substrates. The pre-steady-state rate constant of deoxycytidine monophosphate (dCMP) insertion opposite the first tetrad-guanine by hRev1 is ∼56% as fast as that observed for non-G4 DNA substrates. Thus, hRev1 can promote fork progression by either dislodging tetrad guanines to unfold the G4 DNA, which could assist in extension by other DNA polymerases, or hRev1 can prevent refolding of G4 DNA structures. The hRev1 mechanism of action against G-quadruplexes helps explain why replication progress is impeded at G4 DNA sites in Rev1-deficient cells and illustrates another unique feature of this enzyme with important implications for genome maintenance.

    Abstract We have investigated the action of the human DNA polymerase ε (hpol ε) and η (hpol η) catalytic cores on G-quadruplex (G4) DNA substrates derived from the promoter of the c-MYC proto-oncogene. The translesion enzyme hpol η exhibits a 6.2-fold preference for binding to G4 DNA over non-G4 DNA, while hpol ε binds both G4 and non-G4 substrates with nearly equal affinity. Kinetic analysis of single-nucleotide insertion by hpol η reveals that it is able to maintain >25% activity on G4 substrates compared to non-G4 DNA substrates, even when the primer template junction is positioned directly adjacent to G22 (the first tetrad-associated guanine in the c-MYC G4 motif). Surprisingly, hpol η fidelity increases ~15-fold when copying G22. By way of comparison, hpol ε retains ~4% activity and has a 33-fold decrease in fidelity when copying G22. The fidelity of hpol η is ~100-fold greater than that of hpol ε when comparing the misinsertion frequencies of the two enzymes opposite a tetrad-associated guanine. The kinetic differences observed for the B- and Y-family pols on G4 DNA support a model in which a simple kinetic switch between replicative and TLS pols could help govern fork progress during G4 DNA replication.
