Data sets for modeling double strand break susceptibility and interrogating structural variation in cancer

<p>This is data used and produced for the study of &quot;Modeling double strand break susceptibility to interrogate structural variation in cancer&quot;.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Background: </strong>Structural variants (SVs) are known to play important roles in a variety of cancers, but their origins and functional consequences are still poorly understood. Many SVs are thought to emerge from errors in the repair processes following DNA double strand breaks (DSBs).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> We used experimentally quantified DSB frequencies in cell lines with matched chromatin and sequence features to derive the first quantitative genome-wide models of DSB susceptibility. These models are accurate and provide novel insights into the mutational mechanisms generating DSBs. Models trained in one cell type can be successfully applied to others, but a substantial proportion of DSBs appear to reflect cell type specific processes. Using model predictions as a proxy for susceptibility to DSBs in tumours, many SV-enriched regions appear to be poorly explained by selectively neutral mutational bias alone. A substantial number of these regions show unexpectedly high SV breakpoint frequencies given their predicted susceptibility to mutation and are therefore credible targets of positive selection in tumours. These putatively positively selected SV hotspots are enriched for genes previously shown to be oncogenic. In contrast, several hundred regions across the genome show unexpectedly low levels of SVs, given their relatively high susceptibility to mutation. These novel coldspot regions appear to be subject to purifying selection in tumours and are enriched for active promoters and enhancers.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We conclude that models of DSB susceptibility offer a rigorous approach to the inference of SVs putatively subject to selection in tumours.</p>

Microscopy data from: Identification of genetic interactions with priB links the PriA/PriB DNA replication restart pathway to double-strand DNA break repair in Escherichia coli

<p>Collisions between DNA replication complexes (replisomes) and impediments such as damaged DNA or proteins tightly bound to the chromosome lead to premature dissociation of replisomes at least once per cell cycle in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. Left unrepaired, these events produce incompletely replicated chromosomes that cannot be properly partitioned into daughter cells. DNA replication restart, the process that reloads replisomes at prematurely terminated sites, is therefore essential in <em>E. coli</em> and other bacteria. Three replication restart pathways have been identified in <em>E. coli</em>: PriA/PriB, PriA/PriC, and PriC/Rep. A limited number of genetic interactions between replication restart and other genome maintenance pathways have been defined, but a systematic study placing replication restart reactions in a broader cellular context has not been performed. We have utilized transposon insertion sequencing to identify new genetic interactions between DNA replication restart pathways and other cellular systems. Known genetic interactors with the <em>priB</em> replication restart gene (uniquely involved in the PriA/PriB pathway) were confirmed and several novel <em>priB </em>interactions were discovered. Far fewer connections were found with the PriA/PriC or PriC/Rep pathways, suggesting a primacy role for the PriA/PriB pathway in <em>E. coli</em>. Targeted genetic and imaging-based experiments with <em>priB</em> and its genetic partners revealed significant double-strand DNA break (DSB) accumulation in strains with mutations in <em>dam</em>, <em>rep</em>, <em>rdgC</em>, <em>lexA</em>, or <em>polA</em>. Modulating the activity of the RecA recombinase partially suppressed the detrimental effects of <em>rdgC</em> or <em>lexA</em> mutations in Δ<em>priB</em> cells. Taken together, our results highlight roles for several genes in DSB homeostasis and define a genetic network that facilitates DNA repair/processing upstream of PriA/PriB-mediated DNA replication restart in <em>E. coli</em>.</p>

Data from: Topological DNA-binding of SMC-like RecN promotes RecA-mediated DNA double-strand break repair

<p>Bacterial RecN, closely related to the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family of proteins, functions in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination. However, the understanding of how RecN acts in concert with the RecA recombinase to promote DSB repair remains limited. Here, we demonstrated that the purified Escherichia coli RecN protein topologically loads onto both single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that has a preference for ssDNA. RecN topologically bound to dsDNA slides off the end of linear dsDNA, but this is prevented by RecA nucleoprotein filaments on ssDNA, thereby allowing RecN to translocate to DSBs. Furthermore, we found that, once RecN is recruited onto ssDNA, it can topologically capture a second dsDNA substrate in an ATP-dependent manner, suggesting a role in synapsis. Indeed, RecN stimulates RecA-mediated D-loop formation and subsequent strand exchange activities. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into the recruitment of RecN to DSBs and sister chromatid interactions by RecN, both of which function in RecA-mediated DSB repair.</p>

Data from: Rev7 and 53BP1/Crb2 prevent RecQ helicase-dependent hyper-resection of DNA double-strand breaks

Poly(ADP ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) target cancer cells deficient in homology-directed repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In preclinical models, PARPi resistance is tied to altered nucleolytic processing (resection) at the 5' ends of a DSB. For example, loss of 53BP1 or Rev7/MAD2L2/FANCV derepresses resection to drive PARPi resistance, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. Long-range resection can be catalyzed by two machineries: the exonuclease Exo1, or the combination of a RecQ helicase and Dna2. Here, we develop a single cell microscopy assay that allows the distinct phases and machineries of resection to be interrogated simultaneously in living S. pombe cells. Using this assay, we find that the 53BP1 orthologue and Rev7 specifically repress long-range resection through the RecQ helicase-dependent pathway, thereby preventing hyper-resection. These results suggest that 'rewiring' of BRCA1-deficient cells to employ an Exo1-independent hyper-resection pathway is a driver of PARPi resistance.

Data from: Down-regulation of Rad51 activity during meiosis in yeast prevents competition with Dmc1 for repair of double-strand breaks

Interhomolog recombination plays a critical role in promoting proper meiotic chromosome segregation but a mechanistic understanding of this process is far from complete. In vegetative cells, Rad51 is a highly conserved recombinase that exhibits a preference for repairing double strand breaks (DSBs) using sister chromatids, in contrast to the conserved, meiosis-specific recombinase, Dmc1, which preferentially repairs programmed DSBs using homologs. Despite the different preferences for repair templates, both Rad51 and Dmc1 are required for interhomolog recombination during meiosis. This paradox has recently been explained by the finding that Rad51 protein, but not its strand exchange activity, promotes Dmc1 function in budding yeast. Rad51 activity is inhibited in dmc1Δ mutants, where the failure to repair meiotic DSBs triggers the meiotic recombination checkpoint, resulting in prophase arrest. The question remains whether inhibition of Rad51 activity is important during wild-type meiosis, or whether inactivation of Rad51 occurs only as a result of the absence of DMC1 or checkpoint activation. This work shows that strains in which mechanisms that down-regulate Rad51 activity are removed exhibit reduced numbers of interhomolog crossovers and noncrossovers. A hypomorphic mutant, dmc1-T159A, makes less stable presynaptic filaments but is still able to mediate strand exchange and interact with accessory factors. Combining dmc1-T159A with up-regulated Rad51 activity reduces interhomolog recombination and spore viability, while increasing intersister joint molecule formation. These results support the idea that down-regulation of Rad51 activity is important during meiosis to prevent Rad51 from competing with Dmc1 for repair of meiotic DSBs.
