Expansions of CNG microsatellite tracts are responsible for several neurodegenerative diseases, including myotonic dystrophy type 1, Huntington disease, and spinocerebellar ataxia type 8. Here we show that expanded (CNG)nrepeats are susceptible not only to expansions and contractions, but are prone to DNA double strand breaks following replication stress. We describe a general strategy for the construction of clonal cell lines containing CNG repeats of various lengths, in which the microsatellites are integrated using the yeast FLP recombinase at a single ectopic recombination acceptor site in the HeLa genome. We illustrate two types of (CTG/CAG) cell lines, one of which contains dual fluorescent marker genes flanking the (CTG/CAG) repeat, and one which does not. We show that long CNG repeats are prone to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) upon exposure of these cell lines to prolonged replication stress.
