La voie de dégradation CRL4Cdt2 régule le recrutement des ADN polymérases translésionnelles eta et kappa en foyers nucléaires après endommagements aux UV-C en ciblant pour dégradation les protéines qui contiennent des PIP box spécialisées / The CRL4Cdt2 pathway regulates translesion DNA polymerase eta and kappa focus formation upon UV-C damage by targeting specialized PIP box-containing proteins for degradationTsanov, Nikolay 05 July 2012 (has links)
La protéine PCNA est un facteur d'échafaudage polyvalent pour plus de cinquante protéines impliquées dans le métabolisme d'ADN, notamment dans la réplication et la réparation. Comment les échanges entre les partenaires de PCNA sont régulés est actuellement mal compris. Parmi ses partenaires, CDT1, p21 et PR-Set7/Set8 possèdent un motif d'interaction avec PCNA particulier, nommé « PIP degron », qui favorise leur protéolyse d'une manière dépendante de l'E3 ubiquitine ligase CRL4Cdt2. Après irradiation aux UV-C, le facteur d'initiation de la réplication CDT1 est rapidement détruit d'une manière dépendante de son PIP degron, mais le rôle de cette dégradation est inconnu. Dans cette étude, j'ai analysé la fonction du PIP degron de CDT1 et fourni des évidences expérimentales qui montrent que l'inhibition de la dégradation de Cdt1 par CRL4Cdt2 dans les cellules de mammifères compromet la relocalisation de l'ADN polymérase translesionnelle eta en foyers nucléaires induits par les irradiations UV-C. En élargissant cette étude à d'autres partenaires de PCNA, nous avons constaté que seuls les protéines qui contiennent un PIP degron, et pas un PIP box canonique comme celui de FEN1 et p15 (PAF), interfèrent avec la formation de foyers de pol eta. La mutagenèse du PIP degron de CDT1 a révélé qu'un résidu de thréonine conservé parmi les PIP degrons est essentiel pour l'inhibition de la formation des foyers de pol eta. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que l'élimination de protéines contenant des PIP degrons par la voie CRL4Cdt2 régule le recrutement de pol eta au niveau des sites de dommages induits par les UV-C. / The sliding clamp PCNA is a versatile scaffold for more than fifty proteins involved in DNA metabolism such as replication and repair. How the switch between PCNA partners is regulated is currently not fully understood. Among its partners, Cdt1, p21 and PR-Set7/Set8 contain a specialized PCNA-binding motif named « PIP degron » that promotes their proteolysis in a fashion dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4Cdt2. Upon UV-irradiation, the replication initiation factor Cdt1 is rapidly destroyed in a PIP degron-dependent manner but the role of this degradation is unknown. Here we have analyzed the function of Cdt1 PIP degron and we provide evidence that interference with CRL4Cdt2-mediated destruction of Cdt1 in mammalian cells compromises PCNA-dependent relocalisation of the DNA translesion polymerase eta into UV-induced nuclear foci. By extending this analysis to other PCNA partners, we found that only PIP degrons, as compared to canonical PCNA-binding motifs of Fen1 and p15(PAF), interfere with pol eta focus formation. Mutagenesis of Cdt1 PIP degron revealed that a threonine residue conserved in PIP degrons is critical for inhibition of pol eta focus formation. Our results suggest that removal of high-affinity PIP degron-containing proteins from PCNA by CRL4Cdt2 pathway regulates pol eta recruitment to sites of UV-damage.

Estudo da síntese translesão em Caulobacter crescentus. / Study of translesion DNA synthesis in Caulobacter crescentus.Alves, Ingrid Reale 12 April 2018 (has links)
Como é de suma importância a integridade da informação contida no DNA, este recebe proteção contra agentes danosos que podem prejudicar sua estrutura. Mesmo em caso de dano, a célula possui um grupo de proteínas que estão envolvidas na correção e mitigação destes danos. O primeiro grupo é um conjunto de proteínas envolvidas no reparo de DNA livre de erro. Caso estas proteínas não consigam minimizar os danos, outro conjunto de proteínas é expresso como uma alternativa ao reparo. Dentre estas, estão as DNA polimerases especializadas em usar uma fita de DNA danificada como molde para replicação. Este mecanismo possibilita à célula sobreviver aos danos potencialmente citotóxicos, às custas de mutagênese. Em bactérias, a reposta ao dano de DNA envolve um conjunto de proteínas que são expressas como parte da resposta SOS. Dentre elas estão enzimas envolvidas na síntese translesão (TLS). Diferentemente de Escherichia coli que possui três polimerases propensas a erro especializadas em TLS, Caulobacter crescentus possui um cassete mutagênico imuABC que está implicado na síntese de DNA usando como molde uma fita danificada. Neste trabalho, estudamos o mecanismo de TLS mediado por ImuABC nesta bactéria, e encontramos uma série de diferenças com o mecanismo de bypass realizado pela principal polimerase implicada em TLS em E. coli (Pol V). As proteínas ImuABC quando expressas em níveis máximos da resposta SOS não são capazes de aumentar as taxas de mutagênese espontânea. O produto do operon imuABC, diferentemente da Pol V, não necessita de RecA para realizar TLS. Apenas a expressão destas proteínas em um background sem o gene recA já é suficiente para que ocorra a mutagênese induzida por UVC. Ao estudar a mutagênese como resposta ao dano de DNA induzido por radiação UVC em níveis genômicos em C. crescentus, notamos que a maioria das mutações encontradas está presente em regiões que possuem pirimidinas adjacentes que sabidamente são extremamente reativas à radiação UVC, levando à formação de fotoprodutos. Nossos dados sugerem que existe uma região no cromossomo circular de C. crescentus que é preferencialmente mutada, e este acúmulo de mutações pode ser consequência do reparo que acontece próximo à origem replicativa, deixando as mutações acumuladas próximas à região de término da replicação. / As the integrity of information contained in DNA is of utmost importance, it receives protection against harmful agents that may harm its structure. Even in case of damage, the cell has a group of proteins that are involved in the correction and mitigation of these damages. The first group is a set of proteins involved in error-free DNA repair. If these proteins fail to minimize damage, another set of proteins is expressed as an alternative to repair. Among these are DNA polymerases that specialize in using a damaged DNA strand as a template for replication. This mechanism enables the cell to survive potentially cytotoxic damage at the expense of mutagenesis. In bacteria, the DNA damage response involves a set of proteins that are expressed as part of the SOS response. Among them are enzymes involved in translesion synthesis (TLS). Unlike Escherichia coli that has three TLS error-prone polymerases, Caulobacter crescentus bears the imuABC mutagenic cassette that is involved in DNA synthesis using a damaged template. In this work, we studied the mechanism of TLS mediated by ImuABC in this bacterium, and we found a number of differences relative to the characteristics of the principal polymerase involved in TLS in E. coli (Pol V). ImuABC proteins when expressed at maximum levels of the SOS response are not able to increase the rates of spontaneous mutagenesis. ImuABC, unlike Pol V, does not require RecA to perform TLS. The presence of these proteins in a background without the recA gene is sufficient for UVC-induced mutagenesis to occur. In studying mutagenesis as a response to DNA damage induced by UVC radiation at genomic levels in C. crescentus, we noted that most of the mutations found are present in regions that have adjacent pyrimidines, which are known to be extremely reactive to UVC radiation, leading to the formation of photoproducts. Our data suggest that there is a region on the circular chromosome of C. crescentus that is preferably mutated, and this accumulation of mutations may be a consequence of the repair occurring near the replicative origin, leaving the accumulated mutations close to the replication termination region.
