Abstract:

A definitive understanding of nucleotide excision repair (NER) in eukaryotes must ultimately embrace the process as it transpires in living cells and must accommodate many cellular biological observations. Some aspects of chromatin structure are considered in the context of the influence of such structure on the accessibility of sites in DNA to NER. The influence of transcription on NER efficiency is then discussed by two different mechanisms. First, chromatin structure is remodeled in a transcribed gene during transcription and in some regions of active genes. NER proteins can gain better access to damage as a consequence of this remodeling. Second, NER preferentially occurs on the transcribed strand of active genes in a transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER) process that is a specific response to blockage of RNAPII at a damaged site. The molecular details of the coupling of transcription blockage to TC-NER remain to be elaborated in detail. Genetic studies suggest several mechanisms that result in preferential NER of transcribed strands of active genes. As more is learned about the protein and nucleic acid participants of this process, rapid progress in our understanding of TC-NER is anticipated.

The crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle provides a molecular-scale roadmap of the histone octamer (two copies each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) and its interactions with 146 bp of DNA wrapped around the protein complex. One striking feature is the nonuniform shape of the DNA and the regular variation in double-helix geometry that suggests why nucleosomes reside in defined positions on DNA and require active remodeling to change chromatin structure. The N-terminal histone tails, which are subject to extensive post-translational modifications ( Fig. 10–4 ), protrude from the cracks between gyres of the DNA. (Adapted from reference .)

Twin supercoil domain model. (A) A transcription complex together with a nascent mRNA molecule is shown moving ca.10 bp along the DNA duplex. This movement creates a single positive supercoil in front of the polymerase and a negative supercoil behind it. (B) Histones are shown transferring (as intact octamers or partial assemblies). This transfer is facilitated by the fact that negatively supercoiled DNA preferentially binds histone octamers compared with positively supercoiled DNA. An additional two nucleosome cores are shown more remote from the polymerase, each storing one negative supercoil associated with the organization of two turns of DNA. (Adapted from reference .)

Histone modifications on the nucleosome core particle. The nucleosome core particle showing six of the eight core histone N-terminal tail domains and two C-terminal tails is illustrated. Sites of post-translational modification are indicated by colored symbols that are defined in the key (lower left); acK, acetyl lysine; meR, methylarginine; meK, methyllysine; PS, phosphorylserine; uK, ubiquitinated lysine. Residue numbers are shown for each modification. Note that H3 lysine 9 can be either acetylated or methylated. The C-terminal (C-term) tail domains of one H2A molecule and one H2B molecule are shown (dashed lines), with sites of ubiquitination at H2A lysine 119 (most common in mammals) and H2B lysine 123 (most common in yeast). Modifications are shown on only one of the two copies of histones H3 and H4, and only one tail is shown for H2A and H2B. Sites marked by arrows are susceptible to cutting by trypsin in intact nucleosomes. The diagram is a compendium of data from various organisms, some of which may lack particular modifications (e.g., there is no H3meK9 in (Adapted from reference .)

Effect of NER on the methylation of DNA. Repair of damage immediately in advance of a replication fork is shown on the left. If excision is initiated close to a methylated controlling sequence (A), a methylated base may be removed (B) and replaced (by repair synthesis) with a nonmethylated base (C). Replication of this region before remethylation can occur gives rise to a nonmethylated DNA duplex, which is not a substrate for the maintenance methylase. The other hemimethylated DNA duplex is normally methylated (D). Repair of damage close to a site of methylation immediately after replication is shown on the right. Excision of damage before the daughter strands have been methylated (A’ and B’) gives rise to a nonmethylated DNA molecule (C ‘), which is not a substrate for the maintenance methylase.

Detection of NER in specific gene sequences. (A) Cells are exposed to a DNA-damaging agent, which produces base adducts for which a specific detection method is available that can convert the damage to DNA strand breaks. In the example shown, DNA is damaged by UV radiation, thereby generating CPD that can be cleaved with a PD-DNA glycosylase/AP lyase such as T4 denV. Some of the cells are lysed immediately, while others are allowed to carry out NER in the presence of the nucleoside analog bromodeoxyuridine. DNA is extracted, purified, and treated with a restriction enzyme to generate fragments. (B) The restricted DNA is subjected to equilibrium density centrifugation in CsCl gradients to separate replicated (HL) DNA fragments from unreplicated (LL) DNA. (C) The unreplicated (LL) DNA is then treated with T4 denV or left untreated, forming strand breaks at the sites of CPD. (D) The DNA fragments are resolved by gel electrophoresis, transferred to a membrane, and probed with a P-labeled fragment derived from a gene of interest. Following autoradiography, DNA fragments not exposed to enzyme (—) yield an autoradiographic signal. In contrast, DNA isolated from cells immediately after exposure to UV radiation is degraded by the T4 denV (+) and yields little or no autoradiographic signal. The intensity of the autoradiographic signal after incubation (24 h) shows the extent to which CPD were removed by repair. The ratio of the intensity of the signal in the treated and untreated samples for a given time point indicates the fraction of DNA molecules that were free of damage (P). The average number of damaged sites per fragment, can be derived using the Poisson equation (S = — ln P). (Adapted from reference .)

Relative speed of repair in active genes. Repair is faster on the transcribed strand (TS) than on the nontranscribed strand (NTS), but variations in the rate of repair are evident between regions of both strands. (A) In the transcribed strand, repair is very fast close to the site of transcription initiation. (B) In the nontranscribed strand, but not in the transcribed strand, repair is markedly affected by the presence of nucleosomes. The color code in panel B reflects this finer detail.

Different fates of RNAPII at a damaged site in DNA as mediated by CSB and other factors. The gold circle indicates the active site of RNAPII and the gold triangles denote a DNA lesion on the transcribed strand. (A) RNAPII dissociation from a site of damage. Such dissociation could be achieved by employing a transcription release factor or the Swi/Snf-like activities of CSB. (B) RNAPII is moved away from the damaged site. Such displacement could conceivably be achieved by Swi/Snf-like activities of CSB or by the use of other activities such as that of SII. (C) Remodeling of the damaged DNA-RNAPII interface by CSB. (D) At certain lesions, bypass might be promoted by accessory factors, of which CSB is a candidate activity. (E) Damage-binding factors arriving prior to RNAPII might facilitate repair by keeping the polymerase at a distance. (F) Degradation of RNAPII stalled at a lesion could occur. One or more of these fates of RNAPII appears to facilitate recruitment of the NER apparatus to the lesion. (Adapted from reference .)

Figure 10–17
Possible stepwise mechanism to resolve arrested RNAPII elongation. Two examples of arrested RNAPII complexes and ways in which they might be resolved are shown. On the right is an elongation complex arrested at a DNA lesion, and on the left is a complex arrested for other reasons (such as a spontaneous stall at sequence forming a secondary structure). General elongation factors such as SII (TFIIS) play an important role in resolution of the latter situation but have little effect on RNAPII stalled at DNA damage. By contrast, human CSB or yeast Rad26 can affect the resolution of both types of complexes. If such resolution fails, ubiquitin-related mechanisms come into play. These do not always involve RNAPII proteolysis, which might be a solution of last resort. (Adapted from reference .)

Specific DNA restriction fragments were incised with T4 denV enzyme at sites of CPD and end labeled with P by a procedure similar to that shown in Fig. 8–5. Lanes in the autoradiograph of the gel are DNA samples from unirradiated (U) and irradiated cells following incubation for 0, 1, 2, and 4 h. Ovals on the left represent nucleosome positions (darkest, least variable; lightest, most variable). Roman numerals denote the positions of the four Gal4-binding sites in the upstream activating sequence. The gold vertical arrow and bars on the right indicate the major transcriptional start site and TATA box of the gene, respectively. The black arrow on the right indicates the sites where TC-NER initiates in this gene. No removal of CPD from the nontranscribed strand occurs in mutant cells in similar experiments. nt, nucleotides.
