    Abstract The retinoblastoma protein (RB)-mediated regulation of E2F is a component of a highly conserved cell cycle machine. However, RB's tumor suppressor activity, like RB's requirement in animal development, is tissue-specific, context-specific, and sometimes appears uncoupled from cell proliferation. Detailed new information about RB's genomic distribution provides a new perspective on the complexity of RB function, suggesting that some of its functional specificity results from context-specific RB association with chromatin. Here we summarize recent evidence showing that RB targets different types of chromatin regulatory elements at different cell cycle stages. RB controls traditional RB/E2F targets prior to S-phase, but, when cells proliferate, RB redistributes to cell type-specific chromatin loci. We discuss the broad implications of the new data for RB research.

    Abstract Mutation signatures associated with apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3A/B (APOBEC3A/B) cytidine deaminases are prevalent across cancers, implying their roles as mutagenic drivers during tumorigenesis and tumor evolution. APOBEC3A (A3A) expression induces DNA replication stress and increases the cellular dependency on the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase for survival. Nonetheless, how A3A induces DNA replication stress remains unclear. We show that A3A induces replication stress without slowing replication forks. We find that A3A induces single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps through PrimPol-mediated repriming. A3A-induced ssDNA gaps are repaired by multiple pathways involving ATR, RAD51, and translesion synthesis. Both ATR inhibition and trapping of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on DNA by PARP inhibitor impair the repair of A3A-induced gaps, preferentially killing A3A-expressing cells. When used in combination, PARP and ATR inhibitors selectively kill A3A-expressing cells synergistically in a manner dependent on PrimPol-generated gaps. Thus, A3A-induced replication stress arises from PrimPol-generated ssDNA gaps, which confer a therapeutic vulnerability to gap-targeted DNA repair inhibitors.

    Abstract The APOBEC3 enzymes convert cytosines in single-stranded DNA to uracils to protect against viruses and retrotransposons but can contribute to mutations that diversify tumors. To understand the mechanism of mutagenesis, we map the uracils resulting from expression of APOBEC3B or its catalytic carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) in Escherichia coli. Like APOBEC3A, the uracilomes of A3B and A3B-CTD show a preference to deaminate cytosines near transcription start sites and the lagging-strand replication templates and in hairpin loops. Both biochemical activities of the enzymes and genomic uracil distribution show that A3A prefers 3 nt loops the best, while A3B prefers 4 nt loops. Reanalysis of hairpin loop mutations in human tumors finds intrinsic characteristics of both the enzymes, with a much stronger contribution from A3A. We apply Hairpin Signatures 1 and 2, which define A3A and A3B preferences respectively and are orthogonal to published methods, to evaluate their contribution to human tumor mutations.

    Abstract Computational pipelines for chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis can neglect colocalization events that occur in a mere subset of the genome. Here, we detail a streamlined approach for assessing colocalization of chromatin-bound proteins using the bedGraph2Cluster and PanChIP algorithms. Using histone modifications as an example, bedGraph2Cluster performs clustering analysis on chromatin binding patterns of target proteins. PanChIP then compares these clusters with a reference library of chromatin binding patterns and measures the overlap in peaks, capturing the heterogeneity in chromatin binding and colocalization patterns. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sanidas et al. (2022).

    Abstract The APOBEC3 family of enzymes convert cytosines in single-stranded DNA to uracils thereby causing mutations. These enzymes protect human cells against viruses and retrotransposons, but in many cancers they contribute to mutations that diversify the tumors and help them escape anticancer drug treatments.

    Abstract Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is an aggressive epithelial cancer with poor overall response rates to checkpoint inhibitor therapy (CPI) despite CPI being the recommended treatment for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. Mechanisms of resistance to CPI in HNSCC are poorly understood. To identify drivers of response and resistance to CPI in a unique patient who was believed to have developed three separate HNSCCs, we performed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) profiling of two responding lesions and one progressive lesion that developed during CPI. Our results not only suggest interferon-induced APOBEC3-mediated acquired resistance as a mechanism of CPI resistance in the progressing lesion but further, that the lesion in question was actually a metastasis as opposed to a new primary tumor, highlighting the immense power of scRNA-seq as a clinical tool for inferring tumor origin and mechanisms of therapeutic resistance.

    Abstract Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is a DNA-cytosine deaminase that mediates maturation of antibodies through somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination. While it causes mutations in immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes and strand breaks in the switch regions of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene, it largely avoids causing such damage in the rest of the genome. To help understand targeting by human AID, we expressed it in repair-deficient Escherichia coli and mapped the created uracils in the genomic DNA using uracil pull-down and sequencing, UPD-seq. We found that both AID and the human APOBEC3A preferentially target tRNA genes and transcription start sites, but do not show preference for highly transcribed genes. Unlike A3A, AID did not show a strong replicative strand bias or a preference for hairpin loops. Overlapping uracilation peaks between these enzymes contained binding sites for a protein, FIS, that helps create topological domains in the E. coli genome. To confirm whether these findings were relevant to B cells, we examined mutations from lymphoma and leukemia genomes within AID-preferred sequences. These mutations also lacked replicative strand bias or a hairpin loop preference. We propose here a model for how AID avoids causing mutations in the single-stranded DNA found within replication forks.

    Abstract Antiviral DNA cytosine deaminases APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B are major sources of mutations in cancer by catalyzing cytosine-to-uracil deamination. APOBEC3A preferentially targets single-stranded DNAs, with a noted affinity for DNA regions that adopt stem-loop secondary structures. However, the detailed substrate preferences of APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B have not been fully established, and the specific influence of the DNA sequence on APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B deaminase activity remains to be investigated. Here, we find that APOBEC3B also selectively targets DNA stem-loop structures, and they are distinct from those subjected to deamination by APOBEC3A. We develop Oligo-seq, an in vitro sequencing-based method to identify specific sequence contexts promoting APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B activity. Through this approach, we demonstrate that APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B deaminase activity is strongly regulated by specific sequences surrounding the targeted cytosine. Moreover, we identify the structural features of APOBEC3B and APOBEC3A responsible for their substrate preferences. Importantly, we determine that APOBEC3B-induced mutations in hairpin-forming sequences within tumor genomes differ from the DNA stem-loop sequences mutated by APOBEC3A. Together, our study provides evidence that APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B can generate distinct mutation landscapes in cancer genomes, driven by their unique substrate selectivity.
