    Abstract DNA double-strand break (DSB) is a serious type of DNA damage and is known to trigger multiple responses within cells. In these responses, novel relationships among DSB, DSB repair, and transcription machineries are created. First, transcription is repressed if DSB occurs near or at the transcription site, termed DSB-induced transcriptional repression, which contributes to DSB repair with the aid of DNA damage-signaling pathways, ATM- or DNA-PKcs-signaling pathways. DSB-induced transcriptional repression is also regulated by transcriptional factors TLP1, NELF, and ENL, as well as chromatin remodeling and organizing factors ZMYND8, CDYL1, PBAF, and cohesin. Second, transcription and RNA promote DSB repair for genome integrity. Transcription factors such as LEDGF, SETD2, and transcriptionally active histone modification, H3K36, facilitate homologous recombination to overcome DSB. At transcriptional active sites, DNA:RNA hybrids, termed R-loops, which are formed by DSB, are processed by RAD52 and XPG leading to an activation of the homologous recombination pathway. Even in a transcriptionally inactive non-genic sites, noncoding RNAs that are produced by RNA polymerase II, DICER, and DROSHA, help to recruit DSB repair proteins at the DSB sites. Third, transcriptional activation itself, however, can induce DSB. Transcriptional activation often generates specific DNA structures such as R-loops and topoisomerase-induced DSBs, which cause genotoxic stress and may lead to genome instability and consequently to cancer. Thus, transcription and DSB repair machineries interact and cooperate to prevent genome instability and cancer.

    Abstract SIRT2 and SIRT3 protein deacetylases maintain genome integrity and stability. However, their mechanisms for maintaining the genome remain unclear. To examine the roles of SIRT2 and SIRT3 in DSB repair, I-SceI-based GFP reporter assays for HR, single-strand annealing (SSA) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) repair were performed under SIRT2- or SIRT3-depleted conditions. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion inhibited HR repair equally to RAD52 depletion, but did not affect SSA and NHEJ repairs. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion disturbed the recruitment of RAD51 to DSB sites, an essential step for RAD51-dependent HR repair, but not directly through RAD52 deacetylation. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion decreased the colocalization of γH2AX foci with RPA1, and thus, they might be involved in initiating DSB end resection for the recruitment of RAD51 to DSB sites at an early step in HR repair. These results show the novel underlying mechanism of the SIRT2 and SIRT3 functions in HR for genome stability.

    Abstract Polycomb group (PcG) repress, whereas Trithorax group (TrxG) activate transcription for tissue development and cellular proliferation, and misregulation of these factors is often associated with cancer. ENL (MLLT1) and AF9 (MLLT3) are fusion partners of Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL), TrxG proteins, and are factors in Super Elongation Complex (SEC). SEC controls transcriptional elongation to release RNA polymerase II, paused around transcription start site. In MLL rearranged leukemia, several components of SEC have been found as MLL-fusion partners and the control of transcriptional elongation is misregulated leading to tumorigenesis in MLL-SEC fused Leukemia. It has been suggested that unexpected collaboration of ENL/AF9-MLL and PcG are involved in tumorigenesis in leukemia. Recently, we found that the collaboration of ENL/AF9 and PcG led to a novel mechanism of transcriptional switch from elongation to repression under ATM-signaling for genome integrity. Activated ATM phosphorylates ENL/AF9 in SEC, and the phosphorylated ENL/AF9 binds BMI1 and RING1B, a heterodimeric E3-ubiquitin-ligase complex in Polycomb Repressive complex 1 (PRC1), and recruits PRC1 at transcriptional elongation sites to rapidly repress transcription. The ENL/AF9 in SEC- and PcG-mediated transcriptional repression promotes DSB repair near transcription sites. The implication of this is that the collaboration of ENL/AF9 in SEC and PcG ensures a rapid response of transcriptional switching from elongation to repression to neighboring genotoxic stresses for DSB repair. Therefore, these results suggested that the collaboration of ENL/AF9 and PcG in transcriptional control is required to maintain genome integrity and may be link to the MLL-ENL/AF9 leukemia.

    Abstract A 68-year-old male patient with lung adenocarcinoma, who was treated with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), developed lymphadenopathy during treatment. His para-aortic lymph nodes increased to 2.0 cm in diameter. Both inguinal lymph nodes were 1.5 cm in diameter, and multiple hepatic masses appeared. After the ICI readministration, both inguinal lymph nodes increased to 2.0 cm in diameter, but the para-aortic lymph nodes and hepatic masses remained. Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) diagnosis was established after the right inguinal lymph node biopsy, which was accompanied by an infiltration of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small ribonucleic acid-positive B-cells. After the ICI discontinuation, the inguinal lymph nodes decreased to 1.5 cm in diameter, but the para-aortic lymph nodes remained, and hepatic masses increased. Hepatic lesions were possibly lung cancer metastasis. The ICI administration and EBV reactivation were potentially associated with AITL development in the present case. The natural shrinkage of lymphoma after the ICI cessation implied the immunological mechanism like that of the methotrexate-related lymphoproliferative disease.

    Abstract DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair-pathway choice regulated by 53BP1 and BRCA1 contributes to genome stability. 53BP1 cooperates with the REV7-Shieldin complex and inhibits DNA end resection to block homologous recombination (HR) and affects the sensitivity to inhibitors for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) in BRCA1-deficient cells. Here, we show that a REV7 binding protein, CHAMP1 (chromosome alignment-maintaining phosphoprotein 1), has an opposite function of REV7 in DSB repair and promotes HR through DNA end resection together with POGZ (POGO transposable element with ZNF domain). CHAMP1 was recruited to laser-micro-irradiation-induced DSB sites and promotes HR, but not NHEJ. CHAMP1 depletion suppressed the recruitment of BRCA1, but not the recruitment of 53BP1, suggesting that CHAMP1 regulates DSB repair pathway in favor of HR. Depletion of either CHAMP1 or POGZ impaired the recruitment of phosphorylated RPA2 and CtIP (CtBP-interacting protein) at DSB sites, implying that CHAMP1, in complex with POGZ, promotes DNA end resection for HR. Furthermore, loss of CHAMP1 and POGZ restored the sensitivity to a PARP inhibitor in cells depleted of 53BP1 together with BRCA1. These data suggest that CHAMP1and POGZ counteract the inhibitory effect of 53BP1 on HR by promoting DNA end resection and affect the resistance to PARP inhibitors.

    Abstract Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) plays roles in DNA repair and centrosome regulation and is involved in DNA damage-induced centrosome amplification (DDICA). Here, the centrosomal localization of BRCA1 and the kinases involved in centrosome duplication were analyzed in each cell cycle phase after treatment with DNA crosslinker cisplatin (CDDP). CDDP treatment increased the centrosomal localization of BRCA1 in early S-G2 phase. BRCA1 contributed to the increased centrosomal localization of Aurora A in S phase and that of phosphorylated Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in late S phase after CDDP treatment, resulting in centriole disengagement and overduplication. The increased centrosomal localization of BRCA1 and Aurora A induced by CDDP treatment involved the nuclear export of BRCA1 and BRCA1 phosphorylation by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). Patient-derived variants and mutations at phosphorylated residues of BRCA1 suppressed the interaction between BRCA1 and Aurora A, as well as the CDDP-induced increase in the centrosomal localization of BRCA1 and Aurora A. These results suggest that CDDP induces the phosphorylation of BRCA1 by ATM in the nucleus and its transport to the cytoplasm, thereby promoting the centrosomal localization Aurora A, which phosphorylates PLK1. The function of BRCA1 in the translocation of the DNA damage signal from the nucleus to the centrosome to induce centrosome amplification after CDDP treatment might support its role as a tumor suppressor.

    Abstract Transcription is repressed if a DNA double-strand break (DSB) is introduced in close proximity to a transcriptional activation site at least in part by H2A-ubiquitination. While ATM signaling is involved, how it controls H2A-ubiquitination remains unclear. Here, we identify that, in response to DSBs, a transcriptional elongation factor, ENL (MLLT1), is phosphorylated by ATM at conserved SQ sites. This phosphorylation increases the interaction between ENL and the E3-ubiquitin-ligase complex of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) via BMI1. This interaction promotes enrichment of PRC1 at transcription elongation sites near DSBs to ubiquitinate H2A leading to transcriptional repression. ENL SQ sites and BMI1 are necessary for KU70 accumulation at DSBs near active transcription sites and cellular resistance to DSBs. Our data suggest that ATM-dependent phosphorylation of ENL functions as switch from elongation to Polycomb-mediated repression to preserve genome integrity.

    Abstract Distinguishing oncogenic mutations from variants of unknown significance (VUS) is critical for precision cancer medicine. Here, computational modeling of 71,756 RET variants for positive selection together with functional assays of 110 representative variants identified a three-dimensional cluster of VUSs carried by multiple human cancers that cause amino acid substitutions in the calmodulin-like motif (CaLM) of RET. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that CaLM mutations decrease interactions between Ca2+ and its surrounding residues and induce conformational distortion of the RET cysteine-rich domain containing the CaLM. RET-CaLM mutations caused ligand-independent constitutive activation of RET kinase by homodimerization mediated by illegitimate disulfide bond formation. RET-CaLM mutants possessed oncogenic and tumorigenic activities that could be suppressed by tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting RET. This study identifies calcium-binding ablating mutations as a novel type of oncogenic mutation of RET and indicates that in silico-driven annotation of VUSs of druggable oncogenes is a promising strategy to identify targetable driver mutations.
    Significance: Comprehensive proteogenomic and in silico analyses of a vast number of VUSs identify a novel set of oncogenic and druggable mutations in the well-characterized RET oncogene.

    Abstract Nucleosome remodelling (NR) regulates transcription in an ATP-dependent manner, and influences gene expression required for development and cellular functions, including those involved in anti-cancer and anti-ageing processes. ATP-utilizing chromatin assembly and remodelling factor (ACF) and Brahma-associated factor (BAF) complexes, belonging to the ISWI and SWI/SNF families, respectively, are involved in various types of DNA repair. Suppression of several BAF factors makes U2OS cells significantly sensitive to X-rays, UV and especially to cisplatin, and these BAF factors contribute to the accumulation of repair proteins at various types of DNA damage and to DNA repair. Recent cancer genome sequencing and expression analysis has shown that BAF factors are frequently mutated or, more frequently, silenced in various types of cancer cells. Thus, those cancer cells are potentially X-ray- and especially cisplatin-sensitive, suggesting a way of optimizing current cancer therapy. Recent single-stem cell analysis suggests that mutations and epigenetic changes influence stem cell functionality leading to cellular ageing. Genetic and epigenetic changes in the BAF factors diminish DNA repair as well as transcriptional regulation activities, and DNA repair defects in turn negatively influence NR and transcriptional regulation. Thus, they build negative feedback loops, which accelerate both cellular senescence and transformation as common and rare cellular events, respectively, causing cellular ageing.This article is part of the themed issue 'Chromatin modifiers and remodellers in DNA repair and signalling'.
