    Abstract DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) constantly arise upon exposure to genotoxic agents and during physiological processes. The timely repair of DSBs is important for not only the completion of the cellular functions involving DSBs as intermediates, but also the maintenance of genome stability. There are two major pathways dedicated to DSB repair: homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). The decision of deploying HR or NHEJ to repair DSBs largely depends on the structures of broken DNA ends. DNA ends resected to generate extensive single-strand DNA (ssDNA) overhangs are repaired by HR, while those remaining blunt or minimally processed can be repaired by NHEJ. As the generation and repair of DSB occurs within the context of chromatin, the resection of broken DNA ends is also profoundly affected by the state of chromatin flanking DSBs. Here we review how DNA end resection can be regulated by histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and the presence of ssDNA structure through altering the accessibility to chromatin and the activity of pro- and anti-resection proteins.

    Abstract DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are mainly repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). The choice of HR or NHEJ is dictated in part by whether the broken DNA ends are resected to generate extended single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhangs, which are quickly bound by the trimeric ssDNA binding complex RPA, the first step of HR. Here we describe a series of protocols for generating Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed pre-B cells (abl pre-B cells) with stably integrated inducible Cas9 that can be used to identify and study novel pathways regulating DNA end processing. These approaches involve gene inactivation by CRISPR/Cas9, whole genome guide RNA (gRNA) library-mediated screen, and flow cytometry-based detection of chromatin-bound RPA after DNA damage.

    Abstract DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) constantly arise in cells during normal cellular processes or upon exposure to genotoxic agents, and are repaired mostly by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). One key determinant of DNA DSB repair pathway choice is the processing of broken DNA ends to generate single strand DNA (ssDNA) overhangs, a process termed DNA resection. The generation of ssDNA overhangs commits DSB repair through HR and inhibits NHEJ. Therefore, DNA resection must be carefully regulated to avoid mis-repaired or persistent DSBs. Accordingly, many approaches have been developed to monitor ssDNA generation in cells to investigate genes and pathways that regulate DNA resection. Here we describe a flow cytometric approach measuring the levels of replication protein A (RPA) complex, a high affinity ssDNA binding complex composed of three subunits (RPA70, RPA32, and RPA14 in mammals), on chromatin after DNA DSB induction to assay DNA resection. This flow cytometric assay requires only conventional flow cytometers and can easily be scaled up to analyze a large number of samples or even for genetic screens of pooled mutants on a genome-wide scale. We adopt this assay in G

    Abstract DNA damage occurs on exposure to genotoxic agents and during physiological DNA transactions. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are particularly dangerous lesions that activate DNA damage response (DDR) kinases, leading to initiation of a canonical DDR (cDDR). This response includes activation of cell cycle checkpoints and engagement of pathways that repair the DNA DSBs to maintain genomic integrity. In adaptive immune cells, programmed DNA DSBs are generated at precise genomic locations during the assembly and diversification of lymphocyte antigen receptor genes. In innate immune cells, the production of genotoxic agents, such as reactive nitrogen molecules, in response to pathogens can also cause genomic DNA DSBs. These DSBs in adaptive and innate immune cells activate the cDDR. However, recent studies have demonstrated that they also activate non-canonical DDRs (ncDDRs) that regulate cell type-specific processes that are important for innate and adaptive immune responses. Here, we review these ncDDRs and discuss how they integrate with other signals during immune system development and function.

    Abstract The RAG endonuclease generates DNA double strand breaks during antigen receptor gene assembly, an essential process for B- and T-lymphocyte development. However, a recent study reveals that RAG endonuclease activity affects natural killer cell function, demonstrating that such double strand breaks, and the responses they elicit, may have broad cellular effects.

    Abstract Hyperactivated ribosome biosynthesis is attributed to a need for elevated protein synthesis that accommodates cell growth and division, and is characterized by nucleomorphometric alterations and increased nucleolar counts. Ribosome biogenesis is challenged when DNA-damaging treatments such as radiotherapy are utilized. Tumor cells that survive radiotherapy form the basis of recurrence, tumor progression, and metastasis. In order to survive and become metabolically revitalized, tumor cells need to reactivate RNA Polymerase I (RNA Pol I) to synthesize ribosomal RNA, an integral component of ribosomes. In this study, we showed that following radiation therapy, tumor cells from breast cancer patients demonstrate activation of a ribosome biosynthesis signature concurrent with enrichment of a signature of Hedgehog (Hh) activity. We hypothesized that GLI1 activates RNA Pol I in response to irradiation and licenses the emergence of a radioresistant tumor population. Our work establishes a novel role for GLI1 in orchestrating RNA Pol I activity in irradiated breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we present evidence that in these irradiated tumor cells, Treacle ribosome biogenesis factor 1 (TCOF1), a nucleolar protein that is important in ribosome biogenesis, facilitates nucleolar translocation of GLI1. Inhibiting Hh activity and RNA Pol I activity disabled the outgrowth of breast cancer cells in the lungs. As such, ribosome biosynthesis and Hh activity present as actionable signaling mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy.

    Abstract The Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase and the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) are activated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). These DSBs occur in the context of chromatin but how chromatin influences the activation of these kinases is not known. Here we show that loss of the replication-dependent chromatin assembly factors ASF1A/B or CAF-1 compromises ATM activation, while augmenting DNA-PKcs activation, in response to DNA DSBs. Cells deficient in ASF1A/B or CAF-1 exhibit reduced histone H4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac), a histone mark known to promote ATM activation. ASF1A interacts with the histone acetyl transferase, hMOF that mediates H4K16ac. ASF1A depletion leads to increased recruitment of DNA-PKcs to DSBs. We propose normal chromatin assembly and H4K16ac during DNA replication is required to regulate ATM and DNA-PKcs activity in response to the subsequent induction of DNA DSBs.
