ABSTRACT
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by mutations in any one of the FANC genes. FA cells are mainly characterized by extreme hypersensitivity to interstrand crosslink (ICL) agents. Additionally, the FA proteins play a crucial role in concert with homologous recombination (HR) factors to protect stalled replication forks. Here, we report that the 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mdC) demethylation (pathway) intermediate 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) and its deamination product 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5hmdU) elicit a DNA damage response, chromosome aberrations, replication fork impairment and cell viability loss in the absence of FANCD2. Interestingly, replication fork instability by 5hmdC or 5hmdU was associated to the presence of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) on chromatin, being both phenotypes exacerbated by olaparib treatment. Remarkably, Parp1-/- cells did not show any replication fork defects or sensitivity to 5hmdC or 5hmdU, suggesting that retained PARP1 at base excision repair (BER) intermediates accounts for the observed replication fork defects upon 5hmdC or 5hmdU incorporation in the absence of FANCD2. We therefore conclude that 5hmdC is deaminated in vivo to 5hmdU, whose fixation by PARP1 during BER, hinders replication fork progression and contributes to genomic instability in FA cells.
