DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is well known for its role in maintaining replication fidelity by correcting mispairs generated during replication. Here, we identify an unusual MMR function to promote genome instability in the replication stress response. Under replication stress, binding of the mismatch recognition protein MutSα to replication forks blocks the loading of fork protection factors FANCD2 and BRCA1 to replication forks and promotes the recruitment of exonuclease MRE11 onto DNA to nascent strand degradation. This MutSα-dependent MRE11-catalyzed DNA degradation causes DNA breaks and chromosome abnormalities, contributing to an ultramutator phenotype. Mismatch repair (MMR) is a replication-coupled DNA repair mechanism and plays multiple roles at the replication fork. The well-established MMR functions include correcting misincorporated nucleotides that have escaped the proofreading activity of DNA polymerases, recognizing nonmismatched DNA adducts, and triggering a DNA damage response. In an attempt to determine whether MMR regulates replication progression in cells expressing an ultramutable DNA polymerase ɛ (Polɛ), carrying a proline-to-arginine substitution at amino acid 286 (Polɛ-P286R), we identified an unusual MMR function in response to hydroxyurea (HU)-induced replication stress. Polɛ-P286R cells treated with hydroxyurea exhibit increased MRE11-catalyzed nascent strand degradation. This degradation by MRE11 depends on the mismatch recognition protein MutSα and its binding to stalled replication forks. Increased MutSα binding at replication forks is also associated with decreased loading of replication fork protection factors FANCD2 and BRCA1, suggesting blockage of these fork protection factors from loading to replication forks by MutSα. We find that the MutSα-dependent MRE11-catalyzed fork degradation induces DNA breaks and various chromosome abnormalities. Therefore, unlike the well-known MMR functions of ensuring replication fidelity, the newly identified MMR activity of promoting genome instability may also play a role in cancer avoidance by eliminating rogue cells.
