ABSTRACT
RNA modifications regulate a variety of cellular processes including DNA repair.The RNA methyltransferase TRDMT1 generates methyl-5-cytosine (m5C) on messen-ger RNA (mRNA) at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in transcribed regions, pro-moting transcription-coupled homologous recombination (HR). Here, we identifiedthat Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) promotes transcription-coupled HRvia its interaction with both the m5C writer TRDMT1 and the m5C eraser ten-eleventranslocation protein 1 (TET1). TRDMT1, FMRP, and TET1 function in a temporalorder at the transcriptionally active sites of DSBs. FMRP displays a higher affinity forDNARNA hybrids containing m5C-modified RNA than for hybrids without modifica-tion and facilitates demethylation of m5C by TET1 in vitro. Loss of either the chroma-tin- or RNA-binding domain of FMRP compromises demethylation of damage-inducedm5C in cells. Importantly, FMRP is required for R-loop resolving in cells. Due to unre-solved R-loop and m5C preventing completion of DSB repair, FMRP depletion or lowexpression leads to delayed repair of DSBs at transcriptionally active sites and sensitizescancer cells to radiation in a BRCA-independent manner. Together, ourfindings presentan m5C reader, FMRP, which acts as a coordinator between the m5C writer and eraserto promote mRNA-dependent repair and cell survival in cancer.
