RESUMEN

In vertebrates, the BRCA2 protein is essential for meiotic and somatic homologous recombination due to its interaction with the RAD51 and DMC1 recombinases through FxxA and FxPP motifs (here named A- and P-motifs, respectively). The A-motifs present in the eight BRC repeats of BRCA2 compete with the A-motif of RAD51, which is responsible for its self-oligomerization. BRCs thus disrupt RAD51 nucleoprotein filaments in vitro. The role of the P-motifs is less studied. We recently found that deletion of Brca2 exons 12-14 encoding one of them (the prototypical 'PhePP' motif), disrupts DMC1 but not RAD51 function in mouse meiosis. Here we provide a mechanistic explanation for this phenotype by solving the crystal structure of the complex between a BRCA2 fragment containing the PhePP motif and DMC1. Our structure reveals that, despite sharing a conserved phenylalanine, the A- and P-motifs bind to distinct sites on the ATPase domain of the recombinases. The P-motif interacts with a site that is accessible in DMC1 octamers and nucleoprotein filaments. Moreover, we show that this interaction also involves the adjacent protomer and thus increases the stability of the DMC1 nucleoprotein filaments. We extend our analysis to other P-motifs from RAD51AP1 and FIGNL1.

RESUMEN

The tumor suppressor BRCA2 is essential for homologous recombination (HR), replication fork stability and DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair in vertebrates. We show that ectopic production of HSF2BP, a BRCA2-interacting protein required for meiotic HR during mouse spermatogenesis, in non-germline human cells acutely sensitize them to ICL-inducing agents (mitomycin C and cisplatin) and PARP inhibitors, resulting in a phenotype characteristic of cells from Fanconi anemia (FA) patients. We biochemically recapitulate the suppression of ICL repair and establish that excess HSF2BP compromises HR by triggering the removal of BRCA2 from the ICL site and thereby preventing the loading of RAD51. This establishes ectopic expression of a wild-type meiotic protein in the absence of any other protein-coding mutations as a new mechanism that can lead to an FA-like cellular phenotype. Naturally occurring elevated production of HSF2BP in tumors may be a source of cancer-promoting genomic instability and also a targetable vulnerability.

RESUMEN

In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) paracrine signaling molecules in cyst fluid can induce proliferation and cystogenesis of neighboring renal epithelial cells. However, the identity of this cyst-inducing factor is still unknown. The aim of this study was to identify paracrine signaling proteins in cyst fluid using a 3D in vitro cystogenesis assay. We collected cyst fluid from 15 ADPKD patients who underwent kidney or liver resection (55 cysts from 13 nephrectomies, 5 cysts from 2 liver resections). For each sample, the ability to induce proliferation and cyst formation was tested using the cystogenesis assay (RPTEC/TERT1 cells in Matrigel with cyst fluid added for 14 days). Kidney cyst fluid induced proliferation and cyst growth of renal epithelial cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Liver cyst fluid also induced cystogenesis. Using size exclusion chromatography, 56 cyst fluid fractions were obtained of which only the fractions between 30 and 100 kDa showed cystogenic potential. Mass spectrometry analysis of samples that tested positive or negative in the assay identified 43 candidate cystogenic proteins. Gene ontology analysis showed an enrichment for proteins classified as enzymes, immunity proteins, receptors, and signaling proteins. A number of these proteins have previously been implicated in ADPKD, including secreted frizzled-related protein 4, S100A8, osteopontin, and cysteine rich with EGF-like domains 1. In conclusion, both kidney and liver cyst fluids contain paracrine signaling molecules that drive cyst formation. Using size exclusion chromatography and mass spectrometry, we procured a candidate list for future studies. Ultimately, cystogenic paracrine signaling molecules may be targeted to abrogate cystogenesis in ADPKD.

RESUMEN

Caffeine is a widely used inhibitor of the protein kinases that play a central role in the DNA damage response. We used chemical inhibitors and genetically deficient mouse embryonic stem cell lines to study the role of DNA damage response in stable integration of the transfected DNA and found that caffeine rapidly, efficiently and reversibly inhibited homologous integration of the transfected DNA as measured by several homologous recombination-mediated gene-targeting assays. Biochemical and structural biology experiments revealed that caffeine interfered with a pivotal step in homologous recombination, homologous joint molecule formation, through increasing interactions of the RAD51 nucleoprotein filament with non-homologous DNA. Our results suggest that recombination pathways dependent on extensive homology search are caffeine-sensitive and stress the importance of considering direct checkpoint-independent mechanisms in the interpretation of the effects of caffeine on DNA repair.

RESUMEN

In meiotic homologous recombination (HR), BRCA2 facilitates loading of the recombinases RAD51 and DMC1 at the sites of double-strand breaks (DSBs). The HSF2BP-BRME1 complex interacts with BRCA2. Its absence causes a severe reduction in recombinase loading at meiotic DSB. We previously showed that, in somatic cancer cells ectopically producing HSF2BP, DNA damage can trigger HSF2BP-dependent degradation of BRCA2, which prevents HR. Here, we report that, upon binding to BRCA2, HSF2BP forms octameric rings that are able to interlock into a large ring-shaped 24-mer. Addition of BRME1 leads to dissociation of both of these ring structures and cancels the disruptive effect of HSF2BP on cancer cell resistance to DNA damage. It also prevents BRCA2 degradation during interstrand DNA crosslink repair in Xenopus egg extracts. We propose that, during meiosis, the control of HSF2BPBRCA2 oligomerization by BRME1 ensures timely assembly of the ring complex that concentrates BRCA2 and controls its turnover, thus promoting HR.

RESUMEN

BRCA2 and its interactors are required for meiotic homologous recombination (HR) and fertility. Loss of HSF2BP, a BRCA2 interactor, disrupts HR during spermatogenesis. We test the model postulating that HSF2BP localizes BRCA2 to meiotic HR sites, by solving the crystal structure of the BRCA2 fragment in complex with dimeric armadillo domain (ARM) of HSF2BP and disrupting this interaction in a mouse model. This reveals a repeated 23 amino acid motif in BRCA2, each binding the same conserved surface of one ARM domain. In the complex, two BRCA2 fragments hold together two ARM dimers, through a large interface responsible for the nanomolar affinity - the strongest interaction involving BRCA2 measured so far. Deleting exon 12, encoding the first repeat, from mBrca2 disrupts BRCA2 binding to HSF2BP, but does not phenocopy HSF2BP loss. Thus, results herein suggest that the high-affinity oligomerization-inducing BRCA2-HSF2BP interaction is not required for RAD51 and DMC1 recombinase localization in meiotic HR.

RESUMEN

The tumor suppressor BRCA2 is essential for homologous recombination (HR), replication fork stability, and DNA interstrand crosslink repair in vertebrates. We identify HSF2BP, a protein previously described as testis specific and not characterized functionally, as an interactor of BRCA2 in mouse embryonic stem cells, where the 2 proteins form a constitutive complex. HSF2BP is transcribed in all cultured human cancer cell lines tested and elevated in some tumor samples. Inactivation of the mouse Hsf2bp gene results in male infertility due to a severe HR defect during spermatogenesis. The BRCA2-HSF2BP interaction is highly evolutionarily conserved and maps to armadillo repeats in HSF2BP and a 68-amino acid region between the BRC repeats and the DNA binding domain of human BRCA2 (Gly2270-Thr2337) encoded by exons 12 and 13. This region of BRCA2 does not harbor known cancer-associated missense mutations and may be involved in the reproductive rather than the tumor-suppressing function of BRCA2.

RESUMEN

Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a hereditary disease featuring hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linker-induced chromosomal instability in association with developmental abnormalities, bone marrow failure and a strong predisposition to cancer. A total of 17 FA disease genes have been reported, all of which act in a recessive mode of inheritance. Here we report on a de novo g.41022153G>A; p.Ala293Thr (NM_002875) missense mutation in one allele of the homologous recombination DNA repair gene RAD51 in an FA-like patient. This heterozygous mutation causes a novel FA subtype, 'FA-R', which appears to be the first subtype of FA caused by a dominant-negative mutation. The patient, who features microcephaly and mental retardation, has reached adulthood without the typical bone marrow failure and paediatric cancers. Together with the recent reports on RAD51-associated congenital mirror movement disorders, our results point to an important role for RAD51-mediated homologous recombination in neurodevelopment, in addition to DNA repair and cancer susceptibility.
