The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAIP associates with the replisome and helps this molecular machine deal with replication stress. Thus, TRAIP promotes DNA inter-strand crosslink repair by triggering the disassembly of CDC45-MCM2-7-GINS (CMG) helicases that have converged on these lesions. However, disassembly of single CMGs that have stalled temporarily would be deleterious, suggesting that TRAIP must be carefully regulated. Here, we demonstrate that human cells lacking the de-ubiquitylating enzyme USP37 are hypersensitive to topoisomerase poisons and other replication stress-inducing agents.

The eEF2 kinase coordinates the DNA damage response to cisplatin by supporting p53 activation

Lim JKM, Samiei A, Delaidelli A, de Santis JO, Brinkmann V, Carnie CJ, Radiloff D, Hruby L, Kahler A, Cran J, Leprivier G, Sorensen PH. Cell Death & Disease 15(7):501.

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase (eEF2K) is a stress-responsive hub that inhibits the translation elongation factor eEF2, and consequently mRNA translation elongation, in response to hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. EEF2K is also involved in the response to DNA damage but its role in response to DNA crosslinks, as induced by cisplatin, is not known. Here we found that eEF2K is critical to mediate the cellular response to cisplatin.

Decitabine cytotoxicity is promoted by dCMP deaminase DCTD and mitigated by SUMO-dependent E3 ligase TOPORS

Carnie CJ, Götz MJ, Palma-Chaundler CS, Weickert P, Wanders A, Serrano-Benitez A, Li HY, Gupta V, Awwad SW, Blum CJ, Sczaniecka-Clift M, Cordes J, Zagnoli-Vieira G, D'Alessandro G, Richards SL, Gueorguieva N, Lam S, Beli P, Stingele J, Jackson SP.
EMBO Journal 43, 2397 - 2423

The nucleoside analogue decitabine (or 5-aza-dC) is used to treat several haematological cancers. Upon its triphosphorylation and incorporation into DNA, 5-aza-dC induces covalent DNA methyltransferase 1 DNA-protein crosslinks (DNMT1-DPCs), leading to DNA hypomethylation. However, 5-aza-dC's clinical outcomes vary, and relapse is common. Using genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 screens, we map factors determining 5-aza-dC sensitivity.

Transcription-coupled repair of DNA–protein cross-links depends on CSA and CSB

Carnie CJ, Acampora AC, Bader AS, Erdenebat C, Zhao S, Bitensky E, van den Heuvel D, Parnas A, Gupta V, D'Alessandro G, Sczaniecka-Clift M, Weickert P, Aygenli F, Götz MJ, Cordes J, Esain-Garcia I, Melidis L, Wondergem AP, Lam S, Robles MS, Balasubramanian S, Adar S, Luijsterburg MS, Jackson SP, Stingele J.
Nature Cell Biology 26, 797–810.

Covalent DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are toxic DNA lesions that block replication and require repair by multiple pathways. Whether transcription blockage contributes to the toxicity of DPCs and how cells respond when RNA polymerases stall at DPCs is unknown. Here we find that DPC formation arrests transcription and induces ubiquitylation and degradation of RNA polymerase II.

Genome-aware annotation of CRISPR guides validates targets in variant cell lines and enhances discovery in screens

Lam S, Thomas JC and Jackson SP. BioRXiv (2024)

Pooled CRISPR-Cas9 genetic knockout screens are powerful high-throughput tools for identifying chemo-genetic, synthetic-lethal and synthetic-viability interactions and are used as a key step towards identifying disease-modifying knockout candidates and informing drug design and therapeutic regimens. CRISPR guide libraries are commercially available for purchase and have been widely applied in different cell lines. However, discrepancies between the genomes used to design CRISPR libraries and the genomes of the cells subjected to CRISPR screens lead to loss of signal or introduction of bias towards the most conserved genes. Here, we present an algorithm, EXOme-guided Reannotation of nuCleotIde SEquences (Exorcise), which uses sequence search and CRISPR target annotation to adapt existing CRISPR libraries to user-defined genomes and exomes.

Genetic determinants of micronucleus formation in vivo

Adams DJ, Barlas B, McIntyre RE, Salguero I, van der Weyden L, Barros A, Vicente JR, Karimpour N, Haider A, Ranzani M, Turner G, Thompson NA, Harle V, Olvera-León R, Robles-Espinoza CD, Speak AO, Geisler N, Weninger WJ, Geyer SH, Hewinson J, Karp NA; Sanger Mouse Genetics Project; Fu B, Yang F, Kozik Z, Choudhary J, Yu L, van Ruiten MS, Rowland BD, Lelliott CJ, Del Castillo Velasco-Herrera M, Verstraten R, Bruckner L, Henssen AG, Rooimans MA, de Lange J, Mohun TJ, Arends MJ, Kentistou KA, Coelho PA, Zhao Y, Zecchini H, Perry JRB, Jackson SP, Balmus G. Nature 627(8002):130-136

Genomic instability arising from defective responses to DNA damage or mitotic chromosomal imbalances can lead to the sequestration of DNA in aberrant extranuclear structures called micronuclei (MN). Although MN are a hallmark of ageing and diseases associated with genomic instability, the catalogue of genetic players that regulate the generation of MN remains to be determined. Here we analyse 997 mouse mutant lines, revealing 145 genes whose loss significantly increases (n = 71) or decreases (n = 74) MN formation, including many genes whose orthologues are linked to human disease.

iMUT-seq: high-resolution DSB-induced mutation profiling reveals prevalent homologous-recombination dependent mutagenesis

Bader AS, Bushell M. Nat Commun. 2023 14(1):8419.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most mutagenic form of DNA damage, and play a significant role in cancer biology, neurodegeneration and aging. However, studying DSB-induced mutagenesis is limited by our current approaches. Here, we describe iMUT-seq, a technique that profiles DSB-induced mutations at high-sensitivity and single-nucleotide resolution around endogenous DSBs.

RAD54L2 counters TOP2-DNA adducts to promote genome stability

D'Alessandro G, Morales-Juarez DA, Richards SL, Nitiss KC, Serrano-Benitez A, Wang J, Thomas JC, Gupta V, Voigt A, Belotserkovskaya R, Goh CG, Bowden AR, Galanty Y, Beli P, Nitiss JL, Zagnoli-Vieira G, Jackson SP.

Science Advances 9(49):eadl2108

The catalytic cycle of topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) enzymes proceeds via a transient DNA double-strand break (DSB) intermediate termed the TOP2 cleavage complex (TOP2cc), in which the TOP2 protein is covalently bound to DNA. Anticancer agents such as etoposide operate by stabilizing TOP2ccs, ultimately generating genotoxic TOP2-DNA protein cross-links that require processing and repair. Here, we identify RAD54 like 2 (RAD54L2) as a factor promoting TOP2cc resolution.

Knockout or inhibition of USP30 protects dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson's disease mouse model

Fang TZ, Sun Y, Pearce AC, Eleuteri S, Kemp M, Luckhurst CA, Williams R, Mills R, Almond S, Burzynski L, Márkus NM, Lelliott CJ, Karp NA, Adams DJ, Jackson SP, Zhao JF, Ganley IG, Thompson PW, Balmus G and Simon DK.

Nature Communications 14(1):7295.

Mutations in SNCA, the gene encoding α-synuclein (αSyn), cause familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and aberrant αSyn is a key pathological hallmark of idiopathic PD. This α-synucleinopathy leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, which may drive dopaminergic neurodegeneration. PARKIN and PINK1, mutated in autosomal recessive PD, regulate the preferential autophagic clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria ("mitophagy") by inducing ubiquitylation of mitochondrial proteins, a process counteracted by deubiquitylation via USP30.

Large-scale exome sequence analysis identifies sex- and age-specific determinants of obesity

Kaisinger LR, Kentistou KA, Stankovic S, Gardner EJ, Day FR, Zhao Y, Mörseburg A, Carnie CJ, Zagnoli-Vieira G, Puddu F, Jackson SP, O’Rahilly S, I. Farooqi S, Dearden L, Pantaleão LC, Ozanne SE, Ong KK and Perry JRB.

Cell Genomics 3, 100362.

Obesity contributes substantially to the global burden of disease and has a significant heritable component. Recent large-scale exome sequencing studies identified several genes in which rare, protein-coding variants have large effects on adult body mass index (BMI). Here we extended such work by performing sex-stratified associations in the UK Biobank study (N∼420,000).

Unrepaired base excision repair intermediates in template DNA strands trigger replication fork collapse and PARP inhibitor sensitivity

Serrano-Benitez A, Wells SE, Drummond-Clarke L, Russo LC, Thomas JC, Leal GA, Farrow M, Edgerton JM, Balasubramanian S, Yang M, Frezza C, Gautam A, Brazina J, Burdova K, Hoch NC, Jackson SP, Caldecott KW.

EMBO J. (2023) 42: e113190

DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) disrupt DNA replication and induce chromosome breakage. However, whether SSBs induce chromosome breakage when present behind replication forks or ahead of replication forks is unclear. To address this question, we exploited an exquisite sensitivity of SSB repair-defective human cells lacking PARP activity or XRCC1 to the thymidine analogue 5-chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU).

Revolutionizing DNA repair research and cancer therapy with CRISPR–Cas screens

Awwad SW, Serrano-Benitez A, Thomas JC, Gupta V and Jackson SP.

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 24, 477–494

All organisms possess molecular mechanisms that govern DNA repair and associated DNA damage response (DDR) processes. Owing to their relevance to human disease, most notably cancer, these mechanisms have been studied extensively, yet new DNA repair and/or DDR factors and functional interactions between them are still being uncovered. The emergence of CRISPR technologies and CRISPR-based genetic screens has enabled genome-scale analyses of gene-gene and gene-drug interactions, thereby providing new insights into cellular processes in distinct DDR-deficiency genetic backgrounds and conditions.

Clinical prospects of WRN inhibition as a treatment for MSI tumours

Morales-Juarez DA and Jackson SP.

NPJ Precision Oncology 6:85

The discovery of synthetic lethal interactions with genetic deficiencies in cancers has highlighted several candidate targets for drug development, with variable clinical success. Recent work has unveiled a promising synthetic lethal interaction between inactivation/ inhibition of the WRN DNA helicase and tumours with microsatellite instability, a phenotype that arises from DNA mismatch repair deficiency.

SOX9 maintains human foetal lung tip progenitor state by enhancing WNT and RTK signalling

Sun D, Llora Batlle O, van den Ameele J, Thomas JC, He P, Lim K, Tang W, Xu C, Meyer KB, Teichmann SA, Marioni JC, Jackson SP, Brand AH, Rawlins EL.

EMBO J. 41:e111338

The balance between self-renewal and differentiation in human foetal lung epithelial progenitors controls the size and function of the adult organ. Moreover, progenitor cell gene regulation networks are employed by both regenerating and malignant lung cells, where modulators of their effects could potentially be of therapeutic value. Details of the molecular networks controlling human lung progenitor self-renewal remain unknown. We performed the first CRISPRi screen in primary human lung organoids to identify transcription factors controlling progenitor self-renewal.

SHLD1 is dispensable for 53BP1-dependent V(D)J recombination but critical for productive class switch recombination

Vincendeau E, Wei W, Zhang X, Planchais C, Yu W, Lenden-Hasse H, Cokelaer T, Pipoli da Fonseca J, Mouquet H, Adams DJ, Alt FW, Jackson SP, Balmus G, Lescale C, Deriano L.

Nat Commun. 13(1):3707.

SHLD1 is part of the Shieldin (SHLD) complex, which acts downstream of 53BP1 to counteract DNA double-strand break (DSB) end resection and promote DNA repair via non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). While 53BP1 is essential for immunoglobulin heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR), long-range V(D)J recombination and repair of RAG-induced DSBs in XLF-deficient cells, the function of SHLD during these processes remains elusive. Here we report that SHLD1 is dispensable for lymphocyte development and RAG-mediated V(D)J recombination, even in the absence of XLF.

Microarray screening reveals two non-conventional SUMO-binding modules linked to DNA repair by non-homologous end-joining.

Cabello-Lobato MJ, Jenner M, Cisneros-Aguirre M, Brüninghoff K, Sandy Z, da Costa IC, Jowitt TA, Loch CM, Jackson SP, Wu Q, Mootz HD, Stark JM, Cliff MJ, Schmidt CK.

Nucleic Acids Res. 2022 50, 4732–4754.

SUMOylation is critical for numerous cellular signalling pathways, including the maintenance of genome integrity via the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). If misrepaired, DSBs can lead to cancer, neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and premature ageing. Using systematic human proteome microarray screening combined with widely applicable carbene footprinting, genetic code expansion and high-resolution structural profiling, we define two non-conventional and topology-selective SUMO2-binding regions on XRCC4, a DNA repair protein important for DSB repair by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ).

USP7 and VCP FAF1 define the SUMO/Ubiquitin landscape at the DNA replication fork

Franz A, Valledor P, Ubieto-Capella P, Pilger D, Galarreta A, Lafarga V, Fernández-Llorente A, de la Vega-Barranco G, den Brave F, Hoppe T, Fernandez-Capetillo O, Lecona E.

Cell Reports 37(2):109819.

The AAA+ ATPase VCP regulates the extraction of SUMO and ubiquitin-modified DNA replication factors from chromatin. We have previously described that active DNA synthesis is associated with a SUMO-high/ubiquitin-low environment governed by the deubiquitylase USP7. Here, we unveil a functional cooperation between USP7 and VCP in DNA replication, which is conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals.

Loss of Cyclin C or CDK8 provides ATR inhibitor resistance by suppressing transcription-associated replication stress

LLoyd RL, Urban V, Muñoz-Martínez F, Ayestaran I, Thomas JC, de Renty C, O'Connor MJ, Forment JV, Galanty Y, Jackson SP.

Nucleic Acids Research 49 (15): 8665–8683

The protein kinase ATR plays pivotal roles in DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint engagement and DNA replication. Consequently, ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in clinical development for the treatment of cancers, including tumours harbouring mutations in the related kinase ATM. However, it still remains unclear which functions and pathways dominate long-term ATRi efficacy, and how these vary between clinically relevant genetic backgrounds.

The ELOF(1)ant in the room of TCR

Carnie C and Jackson SP

Nature Cell Biology 23, 584-586

Transcription-coupled repair of DNA lesions takes place across all domains of life. A transcription-elongation factor, ELOF1, highly conserved in eukaryotes, has now been shown to play a key role in this process. Importantly, these findings also include evidence of a second transcription-coupled repair pathway in mammalian cells.

Mutagenic mechanisms of cancer-associated DNA polymerase ϵ alleles

Herzog M, Alonso-Perez E, Salguero I, Warringer J, Adams DJ, Jackson SP, Puddu F.

Nucleic Acids Research 49(7):3919-3931

A single amino acid residue change in the exonuclease domain of human DNA polymerase ϵ, P286R, is associated with the development of colorectal cancers, and has been shown to impart a mutator phenotype. The corresponding Pol ϵ allele in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (pol2-P301R), was found to drive greater mutagenesis than an entirely exonuclease-deficient Pol ϵ (pol2-4), an unexpected phenotype of ultra-mutagenesis.

Nature Communications 12(1):1302

Genetic redundancy has evolved as a way for human cells to survive the loss of genes that are single copy and essential in other organisms, but also allows tumours to survive despite having highly rearranged genomes. In this study we CRISPR screen 1191 gene pairs, including paralogues and known and predicted synthetic lethal interactions to identify 105 gene combinations whose co-disruption results in a loss of cellular fitness.

Trajectory and uniqueness of mutational signatures in yeast mutators.

Loeillet S, Herzog M, Puddu F, Legoix P, Baulande S, Jackson SP, Nicolas AG.

Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 117(40):24947-24956

The acquisition of mutations plays critical roles in adaptation, evolution, senescence, and tumorigenesis. Massive genome sequencing has allowed extraction of specific features of many mutational landscapes but it remains difficult to retrospectively determine the mechanistic origin(s), selective forces, and trajectories of transient or persistent mutations and genome rearrangements. Here, we conducted a prospective reciprocal approach to inactivate 13 single or multiple evolutionary conserved genes involved in distinct genome maintenance processes and characterize de novo mutations in 274 diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutation accumulation lines.

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor alpelisib restores actin organization and improves proximal tubule dysfunction in vitro and in a mouse model of Lowe syndrome and Dent disease

Berquez M, Gadsby JR, Festa BP, Butler R, Jackson SP, Berno V, Luciani A, Devuyst O, Gallop JL.

Kidney International, 98(4):883-896

Loss-of-function mutations in the OCRL gene, which encodes the phosphatidylinositol [PI] 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] 5-phosphatase OCRL, cause defective endocytosis and proximal tubule dysfunction in Lowe syndrome and Dent disease 2. The defect is due to increased levels of PI(4,5)P2 and aberrant actin polymerization, blocking endosomal trafficking. PI 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] has been recently identified as a coactivator with PI(4,5)P2 in the actin pathway. Here, we tested the hypothesis that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors may rescue the endocytic defect imparted by OCRL loss, by rebalancing phosphoinositide signals to the actin machinery.

The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib is FDA approved for the treatment of BRCA-mutated breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. Olaparib inhibits PARP1/2 enzymatic activity and traps PARP1 on DNA at single-strand breaks, leading to replication-induced DNA damage that requires BRCA1/2-dependent homologous recombination repair. Moreover, DNA damage response pathways mediated by the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) kinases are hypothesised to be important survival pathways in response to PARP-inhibitor treatment. Here, we show that olaparib combines synergistically with the ATR-inhibitor AZD6738 (ceralasertib), in vitro, leading to selective cell death in ATM-deficient cells.

Parallel CRISPR-Cas9 screens clarify impacts of p53 on screen performance

Bowden AR, Morales-Juarez DA, Sczaniecka-Clift M, Martin Agudo M, Lukashchuk N, Thomas JC, Jackson SP

eLife 2020;9:e55325

CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering has revolutionised high-throughput functional genomic screens. However, recent work has raised concerns regarding the performance of CRISPR-Cas9 screens using TP53 wild-type human cells due to a p53-mediated DNA damage response (DDR) limiting the efficiency of generating viable edited cells. To directly assess the impact of cellular p53 status on CRISPR-Cas9 screen performance, we carried out parallel CRISPR-Cas9 screens in wild-type and TP53 knockout human retinal pigment epithelial cells using a focused dual guide RNA library targeting 852 DDR-associated genes.

Chronic irradiation of human cells reduces histone levels and deregulates gene expression

Lowe DJ, Herzog M, Mosler T, Cohen H, Felton S, Beli P, Raj K, Galanty Y, Jackson SP.

Scientific Reports 10:2200

Over the past decades, there have been huge advances in understanding cellular responses to ionising radiation (IR) and DNA damage. These studies, however, were mostly executed with cell lines and mice using single or multiple acute doses of radiation. Hence, relatively little is known about how continuous exposure to low dose ionising radiation affects normal cells and organisms, even though our cells are constantly exposed to low levels of radiation. We addressed this issue by examining the consequences of exposing human primary cells to continuous ionising γ-radiation delivered at 6–20 mGy/h.

PALB2 chromatin recruitment restores homologous recombination in BRCA1-deficient cells depleted of 53BP1

Belotserkovskaya R, Raga Gil E, Lawrence N, Butler R, Clifford G, Wilson MD, Jackson SP.

Nature Communications 11:819

Loss of functional BRCA1 protein leads to defects in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) and renders cells hypersensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors used to treat BRCA1/2-deficient cancers. However, upon chronic treatment of BRCA1-mutant cells with PARP inhibitors, resistant clones can arise via several mechanisms, including loss of 53BP1 or its downstream co-factors.
