ABSTRACT Elongating RNA polymerase II (Pol II) can be blocked by a variety of DNA damage. The stalled Pol II prevents passage of other RNA and DNA polymerases and blocks exposure of damage to repair proteins, leading to apoptosis or mutagenesis. To avoid these detrimental outcomes, cells activate several mechanisms, including transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), to rescue the stalled Pol II. In human cells, the Cockayne Syndrome B (CSB) protein is believed to bind to damage-stalled Pol II and initiate TC-NER. However, there is a critical gap in knowledge concerning how CSB switches Pol II from elongation to a form amenable to DNA repair. Additionally, TC-NER is best known to repair helix-distorting (bulky) DNA lesions, but whether it also repairs non-bulky base damage that occurs more frequently in living cells is poorly understood. To address these important questions, we developed genome-wide and single-nucleotide resolution sequencing methods to map DNA lesions, including bulky cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs; UV damage) and non-bulky N-methylpurines (NMPs; alkylation damage). Notably, our CPD-seq data indicates that yeast Rad26, an ortholog of CSB, functions in displacing the transcription elongation factor, Spt4-Spt5, from the stalled Pol II. This function of Rad26 is mainly required for gene coding regions downstream of the first (+1) nucleosome. The eviction of Spt4-Spt5 likely disrupts the closed conformation of the Pol II complex, thereby switching Pol II from elongation to repair. Furthermore, we identified a subset of genes in which TC-NER across the entire coding region was independent of Rad26, suggesting both Rad26-dependent and independent TC-NER mechanisms function in the yeast genome. How CSB functions and whether CSB- independent genes exist in human cells are unclear. In this proposal, we will utilize an improved CPD-seq method to generate genome-wide TC-NER profiles in CSB-proficient and deficient human cells. Comparison of the two repair maps will help identify CSB-dependent and independent genes and guide investigation into their underlying mechanisms (Aim 1). The binding of CSB to Pol II is the first step for TC-NER. Damage removal requires the assembly of a large nucleotide excision repair (NER) complex on DNA. TFIIH is the next crucial NER factor following CSB. Aim 2 will elucidate TFIIH recruitment to test the hypothesis that CSB-mediated Spt4-Spt5 displacement leads to TFIIH binding to the stalled Pol II. Moreover, our NMP-seq data indicates that TC-NER also repairs non-bulky alkylation lesions, suggesting TC-NER targets a broader spectrum of DNA damage than currently appreciated. Aim 3 is based on this intriguing finding and will focus on TC-NER of oxidative base damage, which is the most frequent endogenous damage with a profound role in cancer mutagenesis. Hence, these proposed studies will use innovative approaches and significantly improve TC- NER research by offering genome-wide insights for both bulky and non-bulky lesions.

摘要 延长RNA聚合酶II(POL II)可被多种DNA损伤所阻断。停滞不前的Pol II防止 通过其他RNA和DNA聚合酶并阻止损伤修复蛋白的暴露，导致 细胞凋亡或突变。为了避免这些有害的结果，细胞激活了几种机制，包括 转录偶联核苷酸切除修复(TC-NER)，以挽救停滞的POL II。在人类细胞中， Cockayne综合征B(CSB)蛋白被认为与损伤停滞的POL II结合并启动TC-NER。 然而，在关于CSB如何将POL II从伸长切换到形式方面，存在着一个关键的知识缺口 顺从DNA修复。此外，TC-NER最为人所知的是修复螺旋扭曲(巨大)的DNA损伤，但 它是否也修复了活细胞中更频繁发生的非大型碱基损伤，目前还知之甚少。 为了解决这些重要问题，我们开发了全基因组和单核苷酸解析 测序方法绘制DNA损伤图，包括块状环丁烷嘧啶二聚体(CPDS；紫外线损伤) 和非大体积N-甲基嘌呤(NMPs；烷基化损伤)。值得注意的是，我们的CPD-SEQ数据表明酵母 RAD26是CSB的同源基因，其功能是取代转录延伸因子Spt4-Spt5 停滞的POL II。Rad26的这个功能主要是在第一个(+1)的下游基因编码区需要的。 核小体。Spt4-Spt5的驱逐可能扰乱了PolII复合体的封闭构象，从而 将Pol II从延长切换到维修。此外，我们还鉴定了TC-NER基因的一个子集 整个编码区是独立于Rad26的，这表明Rad26依赖和 独立的TC-NER机制在酵母基因组中发挥作用。公务员事务局如何运作，以及公务员事务局是否- 人类细胞中是否存在独立的基因尚不清楚。在本提案中，我们将使用改进的CPD-SEQ 方法在CSB熟练和缺乏CSB的人类细胞中生成全基因组TC-NER图谱。比较 这两个修复图谱将有助于识别CSB依赖和独立的基因，并指导对其 基本机制(目标1)。CSB与POL II的结合是TC-NER的第一步。伤害消除 需要在DNA上组装一个大的核苷酸切除修复(NER)复合体。TFIIH是下一个关键 紧随CSB之后的NER因素。目标2将阐明TFIIH的招募，以检验CSB介导的假设 Spt4-Spt5置换导致TFIIH与停滞的Pol II结合。此外，我们的NMP-seq数据表明 TC-NER还修复非大块的烷基化损伤，这表明TC-NER针对更广泛的DNA谱 造成的损失比目前估计的要大。目标3基于这一耐人寻味的发现，并将专注于TC-NER 氧化碱基损伤是最常见的内源性损伤，在癌症中起着深远的作用 诱变。因此，这些拟议的研究将使用创新的方法，并显著改善TC- NER研究通过提供对大块和非大块病变的全基因组洞察。
