项目摘要

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) can be induced endogenously (e.g. lipid peroxidation) and by environmental agents (e.g. cigarette smoking, automobile exhausts, and pollution). The ICL damage tethers both strands of DNA duplex and blocks essential DNA metabolic functions such as replication. It remains poorly understood how the ICL damage is repaired in humans. ICLs are also the primary toxic lesions induced by many bi-functional chemotherapeutic drugs to kill cancerous cells. Cells develop resistance to such agents through up-regulating their repair capacity of ICLs, thereby compromising the therapeutic efficacy. Fanconi anemia (FA, FANC) is a hereditary disorder characterized by bone marrow failure, developmental defects, predisposition to cancers, hypersensitivity to crosslinking agents, indicating involvement of FA proteins in repair and tolerance of ICLs. At least 13 FANC genes have been identified thus far. Eight (FANC-A, B, C, E, F, G, L, and M) of the thirteen FANC gene products are found in a protein complex, termed as the FA core complex. Based on the preliminary data and previous observations, we hypothesize that FANCM participates in the incision step of ICL repair, and the FA core complex is involved in the regulation of incision endonuclease activities for precise and efficient incision of ICLs. The overall goal of this proposal is to delineate the mechanism of the dual incisions on both sides of ICL damage (unhooking) and to determine how the FA core complex helps maintaining stability of replication forks and contributes to the ICL unhooking when the DNA replication fork encounters an ICL. We will characterize the enzymatic properties of FANCM, identify the endonucleases that carry out the ICL incision, and test whether they collaborate with each other for successful ICL unhooking. By employing RNA interference and cDNA complementation analyses, we will verify the in vitro discoveries in human fibroblast cells through monitoring the ICL incision-induced production of DNA double strand breaks. We will test how components of the FA core complex are involved in maintaining stability of replication forks and in regulating activities of the ICL incision endonucleases. We will purify all components of the FA core complex, evaluate their DNA damage recognition activity, profile their physical and functional interactions with the incision endonucleases, and delineate the regulatory mechanism of damage incision in a biochemically defined in vitro system. We will also determine whether the FA core complex recruits and regulates the endonucleases in human cells through RNA interference and confocal microscopy. Understanding the mechanism of the ICL recognition and incision will not only contribute to the overall clarification of the ICL repair process, but also provide a novel basis for interventional strategies. For example, developing inhibitors of the ICL repair would lead to future translational research for chemosensitizers to overcome the clinically observed drug resistance in cancer patients.
