Hoff, Grégory. „Réparation des cassures double-brin et variabilité chromosomique chez Streptomyces“. Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LORR0288/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIonizing radiation, desiccation or exogenous secondary metabolites are all factors that can cause DNA damage in soil bacteria, especially by triggering double strand breaks (DSB), the most detrimental harm for the cell. In prokaryotes, evolution selected two main DSB repair pathways, namely homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). HR is almost ubiquitous in bacteria and relies on an intact copy of the damaged DNA molecule as a template for DSB repair. In contrast to HR, NHEJ is only present in 20 to 25% of bacteria and is considered as a mutagenic pathway since DSB repair is performed without the need of any template and can lead to nucleotide addition or deletion at DSB site. In the bacterial model Mycobacterium, two partners are sufficient for a functional NHEJ pathway. Thus, Ku protein dimer recognizes and binds the DSB and then recruits the multifunctional LigD protein for extremities treatment and ligation thanks to its polymerase, nuclease and ligase domains. At the beginning of this work, few informations on DSB repair in Streptomyces were available. This bacteria exhibits remarkable genomic features including a large linear chromosome (6 to 12 Mb). Regarding HR, we focused on the late stage (post-synaptic step) in studying the role of RuvABC complex and RecG, involved in branch migration and Holliday junction resolution in E. coli. Construction of single and multiple mutants showed that although the genes encoding these proteins are highly conserved in Streptomyces, their deficiency in Streptomyces ambofaciens only results in a mild decrease of recombination after conjugation events. Besides, no decrease of intrachromosomal recombination efficiency could be observed. These results suggest that major alternative factors are still to be discovered in Streptomyces. This work was also the first occasion to decipher a NHEJ pathway in Streptomyces. An exhaustive genomic study revealed a great diversity in the number of factors potentially implicated in this pathway (Ku, LigDom, PolDom, NucDom) and in the organization of their encoding genes. Functional analyses revealed that all the factors, whatever they are conserved or not between species, were involved in the response to electron beam exposure, known to induce, amongst other things, DSB formation. Generation of DSB by I-SceI endonuclease cleavage was also used to evidence at a molecular level NHEJ type DSB repair (deletions or insertions of several nucleotides, integration of DNA fragments). Targeted breaks in the terminal regions of the chromosome were accompanied by large deletions (up to 2.1 Mb) and major rearrangements including chromosome circularizations and DNA amplifications. Consequences of DSB repair in S. ambofaciens are in all points similar to chromosome rearrangements observed spontaneously or by comparing genomes of different species. Thus, it is possible to link the genome plasticity to DSB repair. In addition, the integration of exogenous genetic material would be favoured during NHEJ repair which would give this repair system a major role in the horizontal transfer process, known to be a main evolution mechanism in bacteria

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleTrinucleotides repeats are a specific class of microsatellites whose large expansions are responsible for many human neurological disorders. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is due to an expansion of CTG repeats in the 3’UTR of DMPK gene, which can reach thousands of repeats. Molecular mechanisms leading to these large expansions are poorly understood but in vitro studies have shown the capacity of these repeats to form secondary structures, which probably interfere with mechanisms involving DNA synthesis. We shown that a TALEN used to induce double-strand break (DSB) in DM1 CTG repeats integrated in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is specific and leads to highly efficient repeat contractions after repair. Mechanism involved in TALEN-induced DSB only depends of RAD50 and RAD52 genes, suggesting the formation of secondary structures at DSB ends that need to be removed for repair initiation, followed by an intramolecular recombinaison repair such as SSA between repeats leading to their contraction. We compared the efficiency and specificity of a CRISPR-Cas9 and the TALEN to contract CTG repeats in yeast. Surprisingly, CRISPR-Cas9 induction do not lead to repeat contraction but to chromosomal rearrangement, suggesting a lack of specificity and a different repair mechanism than with the TALEN. At last, we studied whether these nucleases could contract CTG repeats to a non-pathological length in mammalian cells. Finally, TALEN induction in DM1 transgenic mice cells, and in DM1 human fibroblasts show promising repeat contractions

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMicrosatellites are tandem repeats of a motif between one and nine base pairs. These repeats are found ubiquitously in all organisms and are particularly abundant in eukaryotic organisms. All these repeats are capable of forming secondary structures in vitro and possibly in vivo. Some microsatellites are prone to expansion, leading to many neurodegenerative diseases in humans such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most frequently transmitted neurodegenerative disease. The onset and severity of symptoms are positively correlated with the number of repeats located in the 3'UTR of the DMPK gene. In previous work in the laboratory, a TALE nuclease (TALEN) was developed to introduce a double-strand break into a microsatellite (GTC)n from a DM1 patient. Understanding the mechanisms leading to repeat contraction in yeast is necessary to understand the mechanisms in humans. Thus, experiments were conducted in cells with altered CBD repair systems showing that RAD51, POL32 and DNL4 were not required for CBD repair within microsatellites. Only RAD50 and RAD52 appear to be required, indicating that the cell repairs CBDs in repeated regions by single-strand annealing. The objective of this thesis was to study the role of several genes (MRE11, EXO1, SGS1, DNA2, SAE2, RIF1 and RIF2), involved in the resection and repair of a single CBD within a CTG repeat region, in yeast
Dupuy, Pierre. „Réparation des cassures double-brin chez la bactérie symbiotique Sinorhizobium meliloti : caractérisation du mécanisme de non-homologous end-joining“. Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016TOU30153.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are described as the most deleterious DNA damages as they can lead to cell death if they are not repaired. DSBs can be repaired through several mechanisms, including Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ). In eukaryotes, the main NHEJ proteins, Ku70 and Ku80, bind DNA ends as a heterodimer, and then recruit several additional proteins including enzymes which catalyze the processing and ligation of DNA ends. NHEJ has also been characterized in a limited number of bacteria, where the repair mechanism appears to be less complex than in eukaryotes. Indeed, only two proteins are required: a homodimeric Ku protein, and a multifunctional LigD enzyme able to process and ligate the DNA ends. However, most studies were performed on bacterial species encoding a single pair of ku/ligD. Actually, many bacterial species encode multiple copies of these genes, whose relative contributions to NHEJ in vivo are so far unknown. The Sinorhizobium meliloti genome encodes four putative Ku (ku1-4) and four putative LigD (ligD1-4). To date, a single study conducted on this model bacterium showed that every ku single mutant is more sensitive than the wild type strain to ionizing radiations showing that all ku genes are involved in NHEJ repair of DSBs in this organism. Here, using several in vivo approaches, we performed a comprehensive genetic characterization of NHEJ repair in S. meliloti, and clarified the respective contributions of the various ku and ligD genes. For the first time in bacteria, we obtained results showing the presence of several independent NHEJ systems in S. meliloti and suggesting the existence of a putative heterodimeric form of Ku. We also demonstrated that NHEJ repair is activated under various stress conditions, including heat and nutrient starvation, and that part of this repair is under the control of the general stress response regulator RpoE2. We showed that NHEJ and more generally DSB repair mechanisms are involved in desiccation resistance in S. meliloti. Finally, for the first time in bacteria, we provided evidence that NHEJ not only repairs DSBs, but can also erroneously integrate heterologous DNA molecules into the breaks. Altogether, our data provide new insights into the mechanisms of DSB repair in bacteria which encode multiple Ku and LigD orthologues. It also suggest that NHEJ might contribute to the evolution of bacterial genomes under adverse environmental conditions not only through error-prone repair of DSB by its mutagenesis repair characteristic but also by participating in the acquisition of foreign DNA from distantly related organisms during horizontal gene transfer events

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDuring its sexual cycle, the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia undergoes massive Programmed Genome Rearrangements (PGR). They consist, among others, in excision of 45,000 precisely delimited sequences, called IES (Internal Eliminated Sequences). A domesticated transposase, PiggyMac (Pgm), introduces double-strand DNA breaks (DSB) at IES ends. The Non Homologous End Joining pathway (NHEJ) handles highly precise repair of DSB. One of the actors of this pathway is the heterodimer Ku70/Ku80. In P. tetraurelia, the KU80 gene is present in three paralogous copies. Only KU80c is specifically expressed during PGR and RNA interferences against KU80c showed a complete inhibition of DNA cleavage. Furthermore, a Co-IP experiment in a heterologous system showed that both Ku70/Ku80c interact with Pgm. These results provide evidence that Ku is an essential partner of Pgm for DSB introduction; raising the question of the activating mechanism involved. During my PhD, I characterized the coupling between Ku and Pgm by analyzing immunofluorescence experiments, with or without pre-extraction, allowing the determination of inter-dependencies between those proteins for their nuclear localization and stability. Those methods demonstrated that Pgm requires the presence of Ku for a stable nuclear localization during the PGR. Ku80c shares 74% of the protein sequence with Ku80a. Functional complementation assays overexpressing Ku80a during the PGR showed that Ku80a is not capable to stably localize in nuclei nor to participate in Pgm nuclear stability. Furthermore, PGR are inhibited. Those results show that Ku80c has specialized for the DSB introduction during PGR. The use of chimeric proteins allowed to determine that Ku80c specialization was carried out by its N terminal domain

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleHuman DNA is constantly damaged by endogenous (cellular metabolism) or exogenous (radiations, food contaminants) sources. Among these lesions, DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are the most cytotoxic. To survive to these lesions, a cellular pathway is in charge for the detection and the signaling of DSB. This pathway involves recruitment and post-translationnal modifications of several proteins around the DSB site (like the phosphorylation of a H2A histone variant called H2AX). This signalization pathway elicits cellular checkpoints in order to stop proliferation, and stimulates DSB repair systems in order to restore DNA initial integrity. An error-prone repair of DSB can lead to base additions/deletions, or chromosomal aberrations that can induce cancer. In order to understand genotoxicity, it is important to elucidate causes and mechanisms responsible for DSB formation and to follow their management by the cell. Techniques allowing DSB formation analysis (immunofluorescence, pulse-field gel electrophoresis, neutral COMET assay. . . ) exist, but can only show DNA state for a given point. During the first part of my thesis work, I created a new tool to detect and follow DSB formation in real time, in human cells. This tool rely on nanobody technology, which are miniatures antibodies produced by camelidae species and some sharks. An intracellular nanobody directed against phosphorylated H2AX (gammaH2AX) has been expressed, and seems to relocate to microirradiation-induced DSB. In order to build this tool, anti-gammaH2AX peptides were designed to immunize a llama, and nanobodies coding sequences were isolated/cloned and gathered as a library. Nanobodies specific for gammaH2AX were selected by phage display. Fused to a fluorophore these nanobodies were expressed in human cells in order to analyze their relocalization to DSB in real time. The second part of my phD shed a new light on the mechanism of action of a bacterial génotoxine causing cancers in mouse models: the Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT). This toxin is secreted by commensal and pathogenous bacteria, translocate into the nucleus of targeted cells and induces DSB. CDT mechanism of action was previously described as those of a nuclease inducing DSB. But my work demonstrated for lower doses (equivalent to lethal dose 50), that CDT induced first single-strand breaks leading to double-strand breaks through DNA replication. Moreover, homologous recombination repair of these DSB is crucial in order for cells exposed to CDT to survive. In conclusion, thanks to my thesis work, I developed a new tool to analyze real time dynamic of DSB in human cells in one hand. And in another hand, my work shed a new light on the mechanism of action of CDT genotoxicity, a toxin displaying cancer hazard in mammalians. Contributions brought by this work are discussed here
Batté, Amandine. „Impact of nuclear organization and chromatin structure on DNA repair and genome stability“. Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016SACLS182/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe non-random organization of the eukaryotic cell nucleus and the folding of genome in chromatin more or less condensed can influence many functions related to DNA metabolism, including genome stability. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious DNA damages for the cells. To preserve genome integrity, eukaryotic cells thus developed DSB repair mechanisms conserved from yeast to human, among which homologous recombination (HR) that uses an intact homologous sequence to repair a broken chromosome. HR can be separated in two sub-pathways: Gene Conversion (GC) transfers genetic information from one molecule to its homologous and Break Induced Replication (BIR) establishes a replication fork than can proceed until the chromosome end.My doctorate work was focused on the contribution of the chromatin context and 3D genome organization on DSB repair. In S. cerevisiae, nuclear organization and heterochromatin spreading at subtelomeres can be modified through the overexpression of the Sir3 or sir3A2Q mutant proteins. We demonstrated that reducing the physical distance between homologous sequences increased GC rates, reinforcing the notion that homology search is a limiting step for recombination. We also showed that heterochromatinization of DSB site fine-tunes DSB resection, limiting the loss of the DSB ends required to perform homology search and complete HR. Finally, we noticed that the presence of heterochromatin at the donor locus decreased both GC and BIR efficiencies, probably by affecting strand invasion. This work highlights new regulatory pathways of DNA repair

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are highly cytotoxic lesions, which can lead to genetic rearrangements. Two pathways are responsible for repairing these lesions : homologous recombination (HR) and non homologous end joining (NHEJ). In our laboratory, an intrachromosomal substrate has been established in order to measure the efficiency and the fidelity of NHEJ in living cells (Guirouilh-Barbat 2004). This approach led us to identify a KU-independent alternative pathway, which uses microhomologies in the proximity of the junction to accomplish repair – the alternative NHEJ (Guirouilh-Barbat 2004, Guirouilh-Barbat et Rass 2007). The goal of my thesis consisted in identifying and characterising major actors of this pathway. In the absence of KU, alternative NHEJ would be initiated by ssDNA resection of damaged ends. We showed that the nuclease activity of MRE11 is necessary for this mechanism. MRE11 overexpression leads to a two fold stimulation of NHEJ efficiency, while the extinction of MRE11 by siRNA results in a two fold decrease. Our results demonstrate that the proteins RAD50 and CtIP act in the same pathway as MRE11. Moreover, in cells deficient for XRCC4, MIRIN – an inhibitor of the MRN complex – leads to a decrease in repair efficiency, implicating MRE11 in alternative NHEJ. We also showed that MRE11 can act in an ATM-dependent and independent manner (Rass et Grabarz Nat Struct Mol Biol 2009). The initiation of break resection needs to be pursued by a more extensive degradation of DNA, which is accomplished in yeast by the proteins Exo1 and Sgs1/Dna2. In human cells, in vitro studies have recently proposed a similar model of a two-step break resection. We chose to elucidate the role of one of the human homologs of Sgs1 – the RecQ helicase BLM – in the resection process. Our experiments show, that he absence of BLM decreases the efficiency of end joining by NHEJ, accompanied by an increase in error-prone events, especially long-range deletions (>200nt). This suggests that BLM protects against extensive resection during alternative NHEJ. Furthermore, BLM is implicated in the protection against CtIP-dependent resection at the initiation of HR. In conclusion, our results show a major role of BLM in protecting against an excess of resection, mediated by the MRN cofactor – CtIP. BLM interacts with 53BP1 at sites of damage, in an ATM-dependent manner, in order to regulate the resection process and counteract BRCA1 activity. This underlines the novel role of BLM in the protection against resection and favouring gene conversion events without crossing-over, which is substantial for maintaining genomic integrity
Mamouni, Kenza. „Rôle de la GTPase RhoB dans la réponse aux dommages à l'ADN induits par la camptothécine“. Toulouse 3, 2013. http://thesesups.ups-tlse.fr/2031/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleRhoB is a GTPase implicated in various intracellular functions such as cytoskeletal organization. Besides its well-established roles, RhoB recently emerged as an early DNA damage-inducible gene. RhoB is overexpressed and activated in response to various genotoxics although the mechanism of induction and functional relevance remain unclear. RhoB also possesses tumor suppressor properties. Its expression decreases during tumor progression and loss of RhoB promotes cell proliferation and invasion. To study the role of RhoB in the DNA damage response and its potential implication in tumor progression, we used camptothecin (CPT), a selective inhibitor of topoisomerase I that produces DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). We show that, in CPT-treated cells, DSBs induce RhoB expression by a mechanism that depends on Chk2 and its substrate HuR that binds to and protects RhoB mRNA against degradation. RhoB deficient cells fail to dephosphorylate gamma-H2AX following CPT removal suggesting defective DSB repair. These cells also show decreased activity of PP2A, a phosphatase for gamma-H2AX and other DNA damage signaling and repair proteins. We propose that DSBs activate a Chk2-HuR-RhoB pathway that promotes PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of gamma-H2AX. Finally, we show that RhoB deficient cells accumulate endogenous gamma-H2AX and chromosomal abnormalities, suggesting that RhoB loss increases DSB-mediated genomic instability and tumor progression

Der volle Inhalt der QuellePost-translational modifications of proteins by polymers of ADP-ribose (PAR) or by phosphorylation allow the assembly of DNA repair protein complexes at damaged chromatin and are crucial to ensure genome stability. In response to DNA insults, the synthesis of PAR by the PARP1 and PARP2 proteins is strongly induced. PAR act as a signaling platform for the recruitment of multiples proteins at the sites of DNA damages, including the scaffold protein XRCC1. Research conducted during this PhD have been focused on studying the regulation of PARP1 and PARP2 functions in double-strands break repair (DSBR), and in investigating the role of XRCC1 modifications by phosphorylation in response to DNA damage.Using DNA repair assay allowing us to assess the accuracy of the different DSBR pathways, we demonstrated that PARP2, and not PARP1, is involved in the regulation of DNA double-strands break repair pathway choice. More precisely, we showed that PARP2 stimulates CtIP dependent initiation of end-resection at DSB, independently of its catalytic activity. By live cell imaging, we were able to determine that PARP2 limit 53BP1 accumulation at DNA damage sites induced by laser-microirradiation. We propose that by limiting 53BP1 accumulation at DNA damage sites, PARP2 stimulate DSB repair pathway that depend on DNA end-resection, thus counteracting the canonical end-joining pathway. These results are the first demonstrating a role for PARP2 in DNA DBSR pathway choice.In addition, we analyzed how the functions of XRCC1 are regulated by phosphorylation. Using in vitro and in vivo approaches, we were able to demonstrate that the linker 1 region of XRCC1 is phosphorylated by the CDK5 kinase. XRCC1 is actively dephosphorylated in response to DNA damage induced by an alkylating agent in vivo. We also observed that when the linker 1 cannot be phosphorylated, the XRCC1 interaction between the PAR synthetized by PARP1 and PARP2 is stimulated, and XRCC1 recruitement at the sites of DNA damage is far more efficient. These evidences indicate for the first time that the dephosphorylation of XRCC1 actively participate in its recruitment at the site of DNA damage. Put together, this work contributed to strengthen our fundamental knowledge of the protein network involved in the DNA damage response. Knowledge of those mechanisms is crucial since they participate in maintaining genome stability, and because new antitumoral drugs targeting DNA repair pathways in the attempt to specifically killed tumor cells are exponentially released
Hoffbeck, Anne-Sophie. „Chromatin structure and DNA repair“. Thesis, Strasbourg, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013STRAJ104/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleVarious DNA damaging agents, that can cause DNA lesions, assault constantly our genome. The most deleterious DNA lesions are the breaks occurring in both strands of DNA (Double stand breaks: DSBs). Inefficient repair of DSBs can lead to aberrations that may induce cancer. To avoid these deleterious effects of DSBs, cells have developed signalling cascades which entail detection of the lesions and spreading of the signal that leads to arrest in cell cycle progression and efficient repair. A major characteristic of DNA damage response (DDR) is the accumulation of a vast amount of proteins around the DSBs that are visible in the cell as DNA damage foci. However, efficient DNA repair is hampered by the fact that genomic DNA is packaged into chromatin. The DNA repair machinery overcomes this condensed structure to access damaged DNA by recruiting many proteins that remodel chromatin to facilitate efficient repair. The aim of my PhD work is to identify novel proteinsinvolved in the DDR and/or the remodelling of chromatin surrounding DSBs. On one hand, we take advantage of the PICh (Proteomics of Isolated Chromatin loci) technique and we aim to identify the entire proteome of DNA repair foci. On the other hand, we study the role of the oncogene SET/TAFIβ, a major hit of a siRNA screen performed to identify novel chromatin related proteins that play role in repair of DSBs

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by recombination is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity of all living organisms. However, recombination must be finely regulated as it can generate mutations or chromosomal rearrangements, sometimes extremely deleterious to the cell. DSB can be repaired by two classes of recombination mechanism: non-homologous recombination (or DNA End Joining) or homologous recombination (implicating DNA sequence homology between the recombining molecules). In somatic cells, the two main pathways of homologous recombination (HR) are RAD51-dependent Synthesis Dependent Strand Annealing (SDSA) and RAD51-independent Single Strand Annealing (SSA). Our results have demonstrated an unexpected role of XRCC2, RAD51B and RAD51D - three RAD51 paralogues – in the SSA pathway. We confirmed that the function of XRCC2 in SSA does not depend upon RAD51, thus demonstrating that some RAD51 paralogues have acquired RAD51 recombinase-independent functions. The different severities of individual mutant phenotypes and epistasis analyses carried out on the double and triple mutants suggest individual functions of these proteins in SSA recombination. We propose that they facilitate hybridization of the two complementary sequences located on both sides of the break, although this remains to be confirmed by in vitro experiments. Study of the roles of XPF-ERCC1 - a complex involved in the cleavage of non-homologous DNA ends during HR - revealed an inhibitory role of this complex on the SDSA pathway. This is dependent on its endonuclease activity and is probably due to the cleavage of long 3' ends performing the homologous DNA duplex invasion, the initial step of the SDSA pathway. Our analyses also confirmed that the role of the complex depends on the length of the nonhomologous ends, as seen in mammals and yeasts. Although XPF-ERCC1 is essential for the cleavage of long nonhomologous DNA ends, it is not required for the elimination of short ends during HR

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are a major threat to chromosome integrity and cell survival, repairing them is crucial. Repair begins with binding of the Ku70-Ku80 complex (Ku) to protect the exposed DNA ends until a repair pathway is chosen. Ku promotes the direct resealing of breaks by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) but is error-prone. The most precise repair pathway is the replacement of the broken segment with an intact copy by homologous recombination (HR). The DNA end resection, which generates 3' single stranded DNA tails (ssDNA), is a critical step for initiating HR, and is followed by the homology search. Resection is the result of the helicase, endo and exonuleolytic activities of various factors, previously identified. During this dissertation, I focused on studying the resection dynamics and the chromatin movements that accompany and follows this step. This study, led on single living cells, was allowed after the developing of a compact fluorescent DNA labeling system

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleUne personne sur trois au Canada sera affectée par une forme de cancer durant son existence. Aujourd’hui, il a été clairement démontré que les mutations dans l'information génétique sont l'événement initiateur du cancer. Les cassures double-brin de l'ADN font partie des lésions les plus dangereuses retrouvées dans les cellules puisqu'elles peuvent induire des mutations menant au cancer. La cellule possède plusieurs mécanismes pour réparer les cassures double-brin de l’ADN. La réparation par recombinaison homologue est le seul de ces mécanismes permettant aux cellules de réparer les cassures double-brin de l’ADN de manière fidèle sans créer d’autres mutations. Ce mécanisme dépend en majeure partie de la protéine RAD51 qui en catalyse les étapes essentielles. RAD51 a besoin d’autres cofacteurs appelés médiateurs, comme la protéine BRCA2, pour son fonctionnement. Récemment, PALB2 a été identifiée comme un régulateur clé de RAD51 et BRCA2, et donc de la réparation par recombinaison homologue. Les individus, avec des mutations de PALB2, possèdent une prédisposition au cancer du sein et à l’anémie de Fanconi. Le projet de mon doctorat consiste en la caractérisation biochimique de la protéine PALB2 afin de comprendre son rôle dans le contrôle et le fonctionnement de la réparation par recombinaison homologue. Nous avons montré que la protéine PALB2, comme BRCA2, est un médiateur de la recombinaison homologue. Dans les cellules, l’activité de PALB2 est contrôlée par sa dimérisation. En présence de dommages à l’ADN, la monomérisation de PALB2 provoque son activation et la stimulation de la formation du filament de RAD51. Finalement, nous avons découvert un nouveau partenaire des médiateurs PALB2 et BRCA2 : la polymérase r

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleRepair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is critical for cell survival. However, both DSBs repair mechanisms, end-joining (EJ) and, to a lesser extent, homologous recombination (HR), can be mutagenic. The aim of my thesis work was to determine whether specific stress conditions can affect the balance between efficiency and fidelity of DSBs repair in murine embryonic stem cells (ES). In a fîrst study, we investigated whether two colinear DSBs induced by the méganuclease l-Scel 9 kbp apart, in two non-homologous regions, can trigger genomic rearrangements by end-joining. In a second study, we have developed a strategy based on plasmids recombination. Linear plasmids, used to mimic DSBs, are transfected in ES cells where they are repaired by EJ or HR with a plasmid sharing a homologous region. We analysed the effects of a growth-limiting stress (serum starvation) on the respective contributions of NHEJ and HR, and their fidelity. The Systems did not allow us to precisely determine the NHEJ and HR frequencies. However, our studies showed that in stress conditions induced by multiple DSBs, repair fidelity can be increased

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleNHEJ (non homologous end joining) is one major pathway of double strand break repair (DSB). An intrachromosomal substrate designed in our laboratory has allowed the demonstration that Ku dependent NHEJ is error-free and can accommodate non cohesive ends. Here, we have analyzed the impact of XRCC4 on NHEJ. The deficiency of XRCC4 is lethal in mice, in contrast the Ku deficient mice are viable. This difference could be explained by a different efficiency in DNA repair and especially in NHEJ. Compared to complemented cells, the NHEJ efficiency is severely impaired in XRCC4 deficient cells. In contrast, KU deficiency does not affect the NHEJ efficiency, showing existence of an efficient alternative pathway. Sequencing of the break junction reveals that the majority of deletion events observed in XRCC4 or KU deficient cells involved microhomologies to promote the repair. These results suggest that alternative NHEJ is initiated through a resection step to allow annealing of microhomologies from both side of the DSB. We have analyzed the role of MRE11 nuclease activity on NHEJ. MRE11 inhibition reduces the efficiency of NHEJ without affecting the distribution of error-free and error-prone events, suggesting that both canonical and alternative NHEJ are affected. In contrast, MRE11 nuclease activity stimulates the NHEJ efficiency and favors mutagenic events, without affected the use of microhomologies or the deletion length. Characterization of NHEJ mechanisms should allow a better understanding of processes implicated in genome stability

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) repair is essential to safeguard genome integrity. Upon DSBs, the ATM PI3K kinase rapidly triggers the establishment of a megabase-sized, ƴH2AXdecorated chromatin domains which further act as seeds for the formation of DNA Damage Response (DDR) foci. How these foci are rapidly assembled in order to establish a "repairprone" environment within the nucleus is yet unclear. Topologically Associating Domains (TADs) are a key feature of 3D genome organization that regulate transcription and replication, but little is known about their contribution to DNA repair processes. We found that TADs are functional units of the DDR, instrumental for the correct establishment of ƴH2AX/53BP1 chromatin domains in a manner that involves cohesin-mediated loop extrusion on both sides of the DSB. Indeed, we showed that H2AX-containing nucleosomes are rapidly phosphorylated as they actively pass by DSB-anchored cohesin. This work highlights the critical impact of chromosome conformation in the maintenance of genome integrity and provides the first example of a chromatin modification established by loop extrusion. In another hand, we found that TADs of the wole genome are reinforced following DSB induction and that TADs play a major role in the down-regulation of the transcription which takes place in cis of DSBs. Finally, we found that damaged-TADs can move across the nucleus to cluster together in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. We also found that damaged-TADs clustering can lead to the formation of translocations, which are often at the origin of cancers

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe BRCA and FANC genes (respectively implicated in breast cancer predisposition and in Fanconi anemia) are classified as “caretakers” tumor suppressor genes and are involved in the maintenance of genomic stability. These genes are tightly associated and could participate in a common pathway. The aim of my thesis work was to improve our understanding of there function in the DNA double strand break (DSB) repair in Human cells. By using molecular approaches based on intra- or extra- chromosomal substrates, carrying model-DSB, we studied the impact of siRNA mediated depletion of these factors on the two major DSB repair pathways in mammalian cells: End-joining (EJ) and Homologous Recombination (HR). We have shown that: (i) BRCA1 depletion severely impairs the EJ pathway, (ii) the novel interaction between BRCA1 and XRCC4 (a key actor of EJ), constitutes a molecular and functional link between BRCA1 and this repair pathway; (iii) depletion of the Fanconi genes products FANCF and FANCG, which belong to the core complex, leads to an impairment of EJ but does not affect HR; (iv) FANCJ and FANCD1/BRCA2 which act downstream of the complex, control HR. On conclusion, our work shows that the BRCA/FANC pathway is implicated in DSB repair, and suggests a tight specialisation of each gene

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn addition to the canonical anti-apoptotic role of Bcl-2, there is also accumulating evidence showing that it has a negative impact on genome stability. In this thesis, we show that Bcl-2 family members, including the only-BH3 Bid protein, inhibit homologous recombination (HR) independently of their role in apoptosis. We show that while the BH3 domain of Bcl-2 is not required for HR repression, its transmembrane (TM) domain is essential for this process. We further show that recombinant Bcl-2 bearing a specific mitochondrial anchoring TM, but not a reticulum endoplasmic anchoring TM, causes full HR repression. Consistently, only HR-repressing Bcl-2 forms impair the foci formation of BRCA1 protein, a breast tumor suppressor essential for HR. Hence, our data uncover an important molecular end-point of the mitochondrial retrograde response that affects the maintenance of nuclear genome stability

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleHeterochromatin is a conserved feature of eukaryotic chromosomes, with central roles in regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genome stability. How DNA repair occurs in heterochromatin remains poorly described. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Silent Information Regulator (SIR) complex assembles a compact chromatin fibre. SIR-mediated repressive chromatin limits Double Strand Break (DSB) resection protecting damaged chromosome ends against the loss of genetic information. However, which of the three redundant resection complexes, MRX-Sae2, Exo1 and Sgs1-Dna2 are inhibited and by which mechanism remains to be deciphered. We show that Sir3, the histone-binding factor of yeast heterochromatin, physically interacts with Sae2-mediated resection and inhibits all its functions. Notably, this interaction limits Sae2-mediated resection, delays MRX removal from DSB ends and promotes Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ). In addition, SIR-mediated repressive chromatin partially inhibits the two long range resection pathways mediated by Exo1 and Sgs1-Dna2 by distinct mechanisms. Altogether SIR mediated inhibition of extensive resection and of Sae2 promotes NHEJ and limits Break-Induced Replication (BIR) preventing loss of heterozygosity at subtelomeres

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMitochondria are organelles that possess their own genome, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Repair of oxidative damages, defective replication, or various exogenous sources, such as chemotherapeutic agents or ionizing radiations, can generate double-strand breaks (DSBs) in mtDNA. MtDNA encodes for essential proteins involved in ATP production and maintenance of integrity of this genome is thus of crucial importance. Mutations in mtDNA are indeed found in numerous pathologies such as mitochondrial myopathies, neurodegenerative disorders or cancers. However, the mechanisms involved in mtDNA maintenance after DSBs remain unknown.To elucidate this question, we have generated mtDNA DSBs using a human inducible cell system expressing the restriction enzyme PstI targeted to mitochondria. Using this system, we could not find any support for DSBs repair of mtDNA. Instead we observed a loss of the damaged mtDNA molecules and a severe decrease in mtDNA content, followed by reamplification of intact mtDNA molecules. We have demonstrated that none of the known mitochondrial nucleases are involved in mtDNA degradation and that DNA loss is not due to autophagy, mitophagy or apoptosis but to a selective mechanism. Our study suggests that a still uncharacterized pathway for the targeted degradation of damaged mtDNA in a mitophagy/autophagy-independent manner is present in mitochondria, and might provide the main mechanism used by the cells to deal with DSBs. Global approaches are ongoing to identify proteins involved in degradation of damaged mtDNA following DSBs, mainly an RNAi screen targeting 80 nucleases. In parallel we are interested in a family of phosphohydrolases named Nudix and their putative protective role in sanitizing the nucleotides pool in mitochondria

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn absence of telomerase, telomere decrease during cells divisions, until a limitant length which define the proliferative capacity of cells. Reactivation of telomerase causes a infinite proliferation of cells : it's cell immortalization, a key process of cancerogenesis. ID3-010 molecule had in vitro an affinity 10000 fold high for G-quadruplex (structures formed in telomere) rather than DNA duplex. Despite of a good inhibition of telomerase in vitro, this molecule can't inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Contrary to DNA double strand break (DSB), natural extremities of telomere don't react with ligation or signalization mechanisms. C-NHEJ mechanism (classical non-homologous end-joining) repairs most of DSB in human cells. In the second project of my thesis, I study the inhibition mechanism of C-NHEJ in telomere. I show with ligation and pulldown experiment that inhibition of C-NHEJ is supported by a competition between telomeric proteins TRF2/RAP1 and C-NHEJ proteins KU and DNA-PKcs. Paradoxically, KU and DNA-PKcs are necessary to telomeric stability. Indeed, lack of this proteins causes fusions with a alternative ligation mechanism (B-NHEJ). We propose a model of double protection of telomere against ligation in which TRF2/RAP1 inhibit C-NHEJ via a negative control of KU and DNA-PKcs, themselves inhibit B-NHEJ
Yuan, Ying. „Modulation of DNA double strand breaks end-joining pathway choice by single stranded oligonucleotides in mammalian cells“. Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015TOU30091.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn response to DNA damage, the choice made by the cells between DNA repair mechanisms is crucial for mutagenic and survival outcomes. In humans, DNA double-strand breaks are repaired by two mutually-exclusive mechanisms, homologous recombination or end-joining. Among end-joining mechanisms, the main process is classical non-homologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) which relies on Ku binding to DNA ends and DNA Ligase IV (Lig4)-mediated ligation. Mostly under Ku- or Lig4-defective conditions, an alternative end-joining process (A-EJ) can operate and exhibits a trend toward microhomology usage at the break junction. Homologous recombination relies on an initial MRN-dependent nucleolytic degradation of one strand at DNA ends. This process, named DNA resection generates 3' single-stranded tails necessary for homologous pairing with the sister chromatid. While it is believed from the current literature that the balance between joining and recombination processes at DSBs ends is mainly dependent on the initiation of resection, it has also been shown that MRN activity can generate short single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (ssO) that may also be implicated in repair regulation. In this work, we evaluate the effect of ssO on end-joining at DSB sites both in vitro and in cells. Under both conditions, we report that ssO inhibit C-NHEJ through binding to Ku and favor repair by the Lig4-independent microhomology-mediated A-EJ process. Our data bring new clues in the understanding of the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe human genome is constantly targeted by DNA damaging agents. These damages are many and varied, such as single and double strand breaks (DSBs). The DSB are highly toxic lesions whose origin can be multiple. Mammalian cells mainly use two DNA repair pathways to repair DSB, homologous recombination (RH), which is dependent on the presence of the intact homologous copy (the sister chromatid) and on the cell cycle stage and the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, which is cell cycle independent and performs direct ligation of the two DNA ends. The repair of DNA damage takes place in a chromatin context that needs to be remodeled to give access to damaged sites. During my work, I studied the chromatin remodeler p400 and the histone variant H2A.Z both involved in chromatin remodeling, to understand their role in DSB repair and genome stability. p400, an ATPase of the SWI2/SNF2 family is involved in the incorporation of H2A.Z in chromatin. I have shown that H2A.Z depletion in the osteosarcoma cell line U2OS and in immortalized human fibroblasts did not alter DSB repair. These results are correlated with the lack of H2A.Z recruitment at DSB observed after local laser irradiation or Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. However, H2A.Z depletion affects cell proliferation and the cell cycle distribution. In addition, I have shown that the chromatin remodeler p400 is a brake to the use of alternative End Joining (alt-EJ) which is a highly mutagenic repair process. The increase in alt-EJ events observed in p400-depleted cells is dependent on CtIP- mediated resection of DNA ends. Moreover, p400 depletion leads to the recruitment of poly(ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) and DNA ligase 3 at DSB, leading to selective cell killing by PARP inhibitors. Altogether these results show that p400 acts as a brake to prevent alt-EJ dependent genetic instability and underline its potential value as a clinical marker

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDuring the sexual cycle of the ciliate Paramecium, the somatic genome is spectacularly and reproducibly rearranged. This process involves two kinds of germline DNA elimination, including the precise excision of tens of thousands of short sequences (Internal Eliminated Sequences or IESs), each one flanked by two 5' - TA- 3' dinucleotides. These developmentally programmed rearrangements are initiated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that exhibit a characteristic geometry, with 4-base 5' overhangs centered on the conserved TA, and may readily align and undergo ligation with minimal processing. However, the actors involved in the final and precise assembly of somatic genes have remained unknown. My work has been focused on the last step of DNA repair, which first led me to characterize in silico the Paramecium ATP-dependent DNA ligases. Functional analysis of Ligase IV and its partner Xrcc4p, core components of a canonical cellular DSB repair pathway (non-homologous endjoining or NHEJ), showed their requirement both for the repair of IES excision sites and for the circularization of excised IESs. Moreover, my data provide direct evidence for the introduction of initiating double-strand cleavages at both ends of each IES, followed by DSB repair via highly precise end-joining. This led to a "cut-and-close" model, including confirmed or putative actors, mostly involved in the protection of broken ends and their controlled processing, key steps in a highly reproducible and precise repair. Paramecium may therefore be an excellent model organism to study precise DSB repair in genome-wide programmed rearrangements

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleFanconi anemia (FA) is a recessive genetic disorder characterized by congenital abnormalities, progressive bone marrow failure, DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) hypersensitivity, and cancer susceptibility. The FA pathway consists of at least 20 FANC genes (FANCA-FANCU), and the encoded protein products interact in a common cellular pathway to gain resistance against DNA ICLs. The ICL-producing agents covalently cross-link two DNA strands and thus, are obstructions to processes which requires unwinding of the two DNA strands such as DNA replication, and transcription. FA pathway activation culminates in the monoubiquitination of FANCD2 and FANCI proteins by E3 ubiquitin ligase FANCL, a process dependent on other upstream FA proteins. The molecular complex formed by FANCI and FANCD2 coordinates multiple events in the FA pathway upon its monoubiquitination. Throughout my doctoral work, we studied various aspects of the FA pathway. We have demonstrated two major DNA binding motifs (DBMs) in FANCD2, comprising of six evolutionally conserved polar amino acids predominantly consisting of lysine, which contributed to the specific charge dependent DNA binding. One of the DBM also consisted of a nuclear localization sequence (NLS), disruption of which abrogated the nuclear localization of FANCD2. The cytoplasmic mutants of FANCD2 had abolished monoubiquitination and were unable to promote FANCI monoubiquitination and chromatin association. Complementation of the nuclear transport defect by a heterologous NLS resulted in the reduction of FANCD2 monoubiquitination. Our results suggest that the DNA binding and NLS identified in this study are crucial regions of FANCD2. DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are produced as one of the structural intermediates upon ICL unhooking step. We assigned novel functions to the FA protein FANCG in limiting the DNA end-resection, and thus it affects the repair pathway choice. This function of FANCG is independent of other upstream FA proteins except FANCA. We also reveal new functions for FA/breast cancer proteins BRCA2 and PALB2 at blocked replication forks and show a role for these proteins in stimulating polymerase eta (Polη) to initiate DNA synthesis. PALB2 and BRCA2 interact with Polη, and are required to sustain the recruitment of Polη at blocked replication forks. PALB2 and BRCA2 stimulate Polη-dependent DNA synthesis on Displacement loop (D-loop) substrates. We conclude that PALB2 and BRCA2, in addition to their functions in stimulating D-loop formation by RAD51, play crucial roles in the initiation of recombination-associated DNA synthesis by Polη-mediated DNA repair.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe Deinococcus radiodurans bacterium exhibits resistance to γ and UV radiation, desiccation and oxidative stress. The molecular mechanisms contributing to the radioresistance of D. radiodurans include very efficient DNA repair mechanisms and ROS detoxification systems, protein protection against oxidation, a compact nucleoid structure and a subset of Deinococcus specific genes which are strongly induced after γ radiation. The ddrI (DNA damage response) gene is highly up-regulated after exposure to γ radiation and encodes a transcription factor belonging to the CRP (cAMP receptor protein) family. Compared to wild type cells, cells devoid of DdrI display defects in cell division and/or DNA segregation and is sensitive to DNA damaging agents, oxidative stress and heat shock treatment. In silico predictions of putative DdrI targets suggest that hundreds of genes,belonging to various cellular processes (DNA replication and repair, oxidative stress and heat shock responses, regulation of transcription and signal transduction) may be regulated by DdrI. The pseudopalindromic 5’TGTGA(N6)TCACA3’ consensus sequence, extrapolated from 115 potential DdrI binding sites, is specifically bound by DdrI only in presence of cAMP. After heat shock treatment, DdrI is involved directly or indirectly, in the induction of heat shock response genes coding proteases, proteins involved in DNA, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism and a translation inhibitor. Among the Deinococcus specific proteins required for radioresistance, the PprA protein was shown to play a major role for accurate chromosome segregation and cell division after completion of DNA repair. Here, we analyzed the cellular role of the RecN protein belonging to the SMC family and, surprisingly, observed that the absence of the RecN protein suppressed the sensitivity of cells devoid of the PprA protein to γ- and UV-irradiation and to treatment with mitomycin C or DNA gyrase inhibitors. The absence of RecN also alleviated the DNA segregation defects displayed by the ΔpprA cells recovering from irradiation. After irradiation, the absence of RecN reduced recombination between chromosomal and plasmid DNA, indicating that the RecN protein is important for recombinational repair of DNA lesions. Here, we propose a model in which RecN, by favoring recombinational repair of DNA double strand breaks, requires the PprA protein to facilitate the recruitment of the DNA topoisomerases to resolve the topological constraints generated by DNA double strand break repair through homologous recombination

The radiobiological characteristics of the 3 rodent glioma celllines and 7 human glioma celllines were analyzed.

We studied the effect of sorne protein kinases inhibitors on the quality of damage repair by the recombination or the DNA end-joining repair. The defect of repair results from the blockade of signaling pathways caused by these targeted treatments. The radiobiological characteristics of the neurofibromatosis of the type 1 (NFl), a genetic syndrome associated the tumors of the peripheral and central nervous system, were analyzed. NFI appeared to be a syndrome with moderated radiosensitivity, associated with a weak deficiency ofDNA end-joining repair but with a strong activity ofMRE11

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, chromatin and nuclear processes are not randomly distributed. During my PhD thesis, I have focused on the role of nuclear organization may play in regulating transcriptional regulation and DNA metabolism. To investigate this assumption, I developed an experimental system able to monitor the movement and sub-nuclear position of a single tagged genetic locus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When tracked in the nuclear volume over time, I found chromatin to undergo very constrained movement. Interestingly, I show that transcriptional activation of the GAL genes leads to the confinement of their motility towards the nuclear periphery. I further demonstrate that members of the SAGA transcription initiation complex and mRNA export factors mediate this recruitment by physically linking the activated GAL genes to nuclear pore complexes (NPC). These results prove for the first time that the ‘gene gating’ mechanism occurs in living cells. Additionally, I participated in a study showing that binding of chromosome ends to the NPC is essential for efficient DNA double strand break repair in subtelomeric region. I also performed a genetic screen revealing an exciting genetic interaction network of nucleoporins with the DNA repair machinery and chromatin remodeling complexes. Altogether the studies I carried out during my PhD uncover the role of the NPC in chromatin organization and consequently in regulating nuclear processes

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleGenomic instability due to deregulation of DNA repair pathways may be at the onset of cancer and subsequently lead to resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Understanding these biological mechanisms is therefore essential in the fight against cancer. RAD51 is the core protein of the homologous recombinant double-stranded DNA repair pathway. This repair leads to faithful DNA repair. The recombinase activity of the RAD51 protein is finely regulated by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Over the last decade, more and more studies have suggested the existence of a relationship between receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, which are often overactivated and involved in aggressiveness and cancer proliferation; and DNA repair. Among these receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, the c-Met/HGF-SF duo is often mutated, over-expressed or constitutively activated in many cancers and its inhibition has been shown to induce a decrease in repair by homologous recombination. Through this thesis, we show for the first time that c-Met is able to phosphorylate the RAD51 protein on four tyrosine residues located mainly in the human recombinase nucleofilament monomer- monomer interface. We show the implication of these phosphorylations on the activity of RAD51 in the different steps of homologous recombination. All the results obtained suggest the possible role of these modifications in the regulation of RAD51 and underline the importance of c-Met in the response to DNA damage

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleTranscription initiation is a key event in the regulated expression of protein-coding genes. The general transcription factor TFIID, containing TBP and TAFs (TBP associated factors), plays a central role in transcription, because it recognizes the promoter, and triggers pre-initiation complex formation. TFTC (TBP free TAF containing complex) is another complex able to initiate transcription. TFTC possesses Histone Acetyltransferase (HAT) activity and thus participates in chromatin opening. These studies focus on TRRAP, TFTC's largest subunit. Trrap gene is essential to embryonic development, and indirectly influences the cell cycle. Moreover, TRRAP protein is targeted by DNA binding activators of transcription. Despite the fact that TRRAP structurally belongs to the family of PI3K kinase, which regulates cellular response to genotoxic stress, its in vivo function is not well understood. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis, associated to biochemical controls, reveal a stable interaction between TRRAP and Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex (MRN) independent of TFTC. MRN is a critical component of DNA double strand break (DSB) cellular response. Functional studies of the TRRAP-MRN complex have shown that it does not possess HAT activity. Nevertheless, in vitro and in vivo evidences demonstrate that TRRAP, like other members of the PIKK family, plays a specific role in DNA DSB repair and signalling. Taken together, our studies give an insight into TRRAP function as a transcription co-factor. We propose to discuss in which TRRAP acts as a molecular platform, allowing communication between the cellular processes of DNA transcription, DNA repair, and chromatin remodeling. Independently, this manuscript summarizes the results of another study, addressing the mass spectrometry characterisation of a mitosis-specific post-translational modification of histone H3

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDNA double-strand break (DSB) is the most toxic DNA damage, because a single mis- or un-repaired DSB can lead to cell death. This toxicity is exploited in clinics to eradicate tumoral cells. So, among molecules currently used in chemotherapy, topoisomerase 1 (TOPO1) poisons such as camptothecin (CPT), are able to generate a particular type of DSB bearing one single end (seDSBs); these lesions are created when a replication fork collides with the TOPO1 blocked on the DNA. They are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) because, devoid of a second end, they cannot be ligated by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). The Ku heterodimer, the initiator of the NHEJ is both a major detector of the DSBs due to its nuclear abundance and strong affinity, and a powerful HR inhibitor. Therefore, the regulation of Ku binding to one-ended DSB is a crucial question for the understanding of mechanisms determining the choice of the suitable DSB repair pathway. In this context, my first thesis project aimed at deciphering the molecular mechanisms responsible for the DNA repair pathway choice at seDSBs. Firstly, using High Resolution Microscopy, I demonstrated that Ku and DNA-PKcs are rapidly recruited on seDSBs. Then, I showed that ATM-dependent phosphorylation of CtIP and the epistatic and coordinated actions of MRE11 and CtIP nuclease activities are required to limit the stable loading of Ku on seDSBs. I established that DNA-PKcs removal from seDSBs relies on ATM-dependent phosphorylation of the ABCDE cluster. Using a non-phosphorylable mutant of this cluster, I demonstrated that impaired DNA-PKcs removal prevents MRE11 from releasing Ku. However, my work also suggested the existence of an additional mechanism that contributes to prevent Ku accumulation at 50% of seDSBs. Finally, I demonstrated that Ku and DNA-PKcs persistence on seDSBs does not impair long range resection and RAD51 recruitment but compromises cell survival. My second thesis project was dedicated to target the DSB repair pathway choice mechanisms in order to potentiate the effect of CPT. Indeed, since ATM inhibition increases drastically the death of replicative cells treated with CPT, we may identify others sensitizers able to disrupt the repair pathway choice. On the basis of a cytotoxicity assay on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), I performed a phenotypic screening of the NIH Clinical Collection and identified the antibiotic nitrofurantoin (NTF) and hydrocortisone acetate (HCA) as a sensitizer of MEFs to CPT. However, sensitization induced by NTF does not depend on Ku but rather seems to rely on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation by nitroreduction of the molecule and sensitization induced by HCA is not reproducible and is still under investigation. My work contributes to extend the knowledge of the repair pathway choice mechanisms involved in cell tolerance to CPT and opens new opportunities to potentiate its anticancerous property

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCells are constantly exposed to a variety of endogenic and exogenic factors likely to compromise their genome integrity. Among the various kinds of DNA lesions, double-strand breaks (DSB) are considered as the most cytotoxic damages due to potentially lethal, and possibly carcinogenic, effects. Facing this permanent danger, cells are equipped with adapted repairing enzymatic systems. The NHEJ (Non Homologous End Joining) is considered as the major DSB-repairing process in the case of superior eucaryotes. The precise biochemical mechanism used by the NHEJ is still not well known, and most of the present knowledge is based on in vitro experiments. In a first step, we have tested the physiological validity of the NHEJ biochemical model by an in vivo approach using optimized cell fractioning, based on a detergent-mediated extraction technique. We have confirmed the assembly of the major repairing complexes, DNA-PK and Xrcc4 / DNA ligase IV, in the presence of DSB in vivo, in several human cell lines. We have described for the first time a Xrcc4 recruitment, strictly dependent on the physical presence of DNA ligase IV, and we propose a model for the role of Xrcc4 phosphorylation on the optimized recruitment of DNA ligase IV in double-strand breakages. In addition, we observed a specific mobilization of the Xrcc4 / DNA ligase IV complex toward the nuclear matrix in response to DSB, and we propose that the nuclear matrix acts as a specialized DSB-repairing site exhibiting complex extremities. .

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe immune System is the target of lots of DNA double-strand breaks (dsb), issued from exogenic elements, but also programmed by the cell itself during important physiological processes like the V(D)J Recombination, which allows the development, diversity and maturatiom of the immune System. In mammals, the majority of DNA dsb are processed by the NonHomologous End-Joining pathway (NHEJ), composed of seven factors : Ku70, Ku80 , DNA-PKcs, Artemis, XRCC4, DNA LigaselV and Cernunnos (or XLF), the most recent factor identified by our team. A NHEJ defect leads to a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), to which developmental abnormalities and cancer prédisposition can be added. This Thesis work starts with the constitution of a SCID patients's cohort by an improved in vitro NHEJ assay and the identification of Cernunnos, the gene responsible of their defect. We also show that XRCC4 and Cernunnos share homologies of sequence and structure, but have distinct DNA Repair functions. We prove that Cernunnos is part of the ligation complex, constituted by XRCC4 and DNA Ligase IV and we report the interdependance of these partners within the complex. Then, by using in vitro generated Cernunnos mutants (point mutations, protein deletions, and chimeras between XRCC4 and Cernunnos) and different in vivo functional assays, we demonstrate for example that the C-terminal domain of Cernunnos is not required for its function, and define the interaction surface of Cernunnos with XRCC4. All these data establish that Cernunnos is a major component of the NHEJ machinery, even if its function stillneeds to be precised
