Mrc1 protects uncapped budding yeast telomeres from exonuclease EXO1
Mrc1 (Mediator of Replication Checkpoint 1) is a component of the DNA replication fork machinery and is necessary for checkpoint activation after replication stress. In this study, we addressed the role of Mrc1 at uncapped telomeres. Our experiments show that Mrc1 contributes to the vitality of both cdc13-1 and yku70Delta telomere capping mutants. Cells with telomere capping defects containing ...
متن کاملFission Yeast Exo1 and Rqh1-Dna2 Redundantly Contribute to Resection of Uncapped Telomeres
The uncapping of telomeres induces a DNA damage response. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, deletion of pot1+ causes telomere uncapping and rapid telomere resection, resulting in chromosome fusion. Using the nmt-pot1-aid strain, we previously reported that Pot1 shut-off causes telomere loss and chromosome fusion in S. pombe. However, the factors responsible for the resection of uncapped telomeres r...
متن کاملPif1- and Exo1-dependent nucleases coordinate checkpoint activation following telomere uncapping
Essential telomere 'capping' proteins act as a safeguard against ageing and cancer by inhibiting the DNA damage response (DDR) and regulating telomerase recruitment, thus distinguishing telomeres from double-strand breaks (DSBs). Uncapped telomeres and unrepaired DSBs can both stimulate a potent DDR, leading to cell cycle arrest and cell death. Using the cdc13-1 mutation to conditionally 'uncap...
متن کاملThe WRN exonuclease domain protects nascent strands from pathological MRE11/EXO1-dependent degradation.
The WRN helicase/exonuclease protein is required for proper replication fork recovery and maintenance of genome stability. However, whether the different catalytic activities of WRN cooperate to recover replication forks in vivo is unknown. Here, we show that, in response to replication perturbation induced by low doses of the TOP1 inhibitor camptothecin, loss of the WRN exonuclease resulted in...
متن کاملCheckpoint-dependent phosphorylation of Exo1 modulates the DNA damage response
Exo1 is a nuclease involved in mismatch repair, DSB repair, stalled replication fork processing and in the DNA damage response triggered by dysfunctional telomeres. In budding yeast and mice, Exo1 creates single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) at uncapped telomeres. This ssDNA accumulation activates the checkpoint response resulting in cell cycle arrest. Here, we demonstrate that Exo1 is phosphorylated wh...
