The mechanism underlying MUS81-dependent cleavage, and the effect on chromosome integrity and viability of checkpoint deficient cells is only partly understood, especially in human cells. Here, we show that MUS81-induced DSBs are specifically triggered by CHK1 inhibition in a manner that is unrelated to the loss of RAD51, and does not involve formation of a RAD51 substrate. Indeed, CHK1 deficiency results in the formation of a RAD52-dependent structure that is cleaved by MUS81. Moreover, in CHK1-deficient cells depletion of RAD52, but not of MUS81, rescues chromosome instability observed after replication fork stalling. However, when RAD52 is down-regulated, recovery from replication stress requires MUS81, and loss of both these proteins results in massive cell death that can be suppressed by RAD51 depletion. Our findings reveal a novel RAD52/MUS81-dependent mechanism that promotes cell viability and genome integrity in checkpoint-deficient cells, and disclose the involvement of MUS81 to multiple processes after replication stress.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/survival-replication-checkpoint-deficient-cells-requires-mus81rad52-function", "reader_count"=>40, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Unspecified"=>3, "Professor > Associate Professor"=>4, "Librarian"=>1, "Researcher"=>13, "Student > Ph.

Stalled forks with ssDNA gaps (1) may undergo extensive extrusion of the newly-synthesized strands by fork regression (2) leading to a preferential engagement of RAD52 (A). RAD52, through its ssDNA annealing activity, would produce a D-loop intermediate (3) and possibly helps recruiting MUS81/EME1 complex by protein-protein interaction. Alternatively, RAD52 may assemble a D-loop intermediate from the ssDNA gap, either at the leading or the lagging strand behind the stalled fork (1.1). The D-loop intermediate is targeted by MUS81 resulting in DSBs and fork collapse. The BIR event that follows may involve subsequent requirement for viability of another SSE, GEN1. In the absence of a functional checkpoint (i.e. inactive CHK1), the RAD52-dependent pathway is a favourite, but inefficient, way of ensuring proliferation at the expense of genome stability. In the absence of RAD52, a RAD51-dependent mechanism (B) may be forcedly engaged. Viability of RAD52-deficient cells would require MUS81 and GEN1 to process the branched intermediates generated. This latter option, would limit genome instability at the cost of reduced survival, and would result in excessive lethality if MUS81 is also depleted. In contrast, MUS81 down-regulation, would stimulate a RAD51-mediated mechanism (C), but at the expense of both reduced cell viability and genome stability.

The mechanism underlying MUS81-dependent cleavage, and the effect on chromosome integrity and viability of checkpoint deficient cells is only partly understood, especially in human cells. Here, we show that MUS81-induced DSBs are specifically triggered by CHK1 inhibition in a manner that is unrelated to the loss of RAD51, and does not involve formation of a RAD51 substrate. Indeed, CHK1 deficiency results in the formation of a RAD52-dependent structure that is cleaved by MUS81. Moreover, in CHK1-deficient cells depletion of RAD52, but not of MUS81, rescues chromosome instability observed after replication fork stalling. However, when RAD52 is down-regulated, recovery from replication stress requires MUS81, and loss of both these proteins results in massive cell death that can be suppressed by RAD51 depletion. Our findings reveal a novel RAD52/MUS81-dependent mechanism that promotes cell viability and genome integrity in checkpoint-deficient cells, and disclose the involvement of MUS81 to multiple processes after replication stress.</p></div>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["replication", "checkpoint", "deficient", "cells", "requires", "mus81-rad52"], "article_id"=>838676, "categories"=>["Biological Sciences"], "users"=>["Ivana Murfuni", "Giorgia Basile", "Shyamal Subramanyam", "Eva Malacaria", "Margherita Bignami", "Maria Spies", "Annapaola Franchitto", "Pietro Pichierri"], "doi"=>["https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s001", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s002", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s003", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s004", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s005", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s006", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s007", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s008", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s009", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s010", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003910.s011"], "stats"=>{"downloads"=>0, "page_views"=>0, "likes"=>0}, "figshare_url"=>"https://figshare.com/articles/_Survival_of_the_Replication_Checkpoint_Deficient_Cells_Requires_MUS81_RAD52_Function_/838676", "title"=>"Survival of the Replication Checkpoint Deficient Cells Requires MUS81-RAD52 Function", "pos_in_sequence"=>0, "defined_type"=>4, "published_date"=>"2013-10-31 03:19:43"}
