iMUT-seq: high-resolution DSB-induced mutation profiling reveals prevalent homologous-recombination dependent mutagenesis
2023
Overview
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most mutagenic form of DNA damage, and play a significant role in cancer biology, neurodegeneration and aging. However, studying DSB-induced mutagenesis is limited by our current approaches. Here, we describe iMUT-seq, a technique that profiles DSB-induced mutations at high-sensitivity and single-nucleotide resolution around endogenous DSBs. By depleting or inhibiting 20 DSB-repair factors we define their mutational signatures in detail, revealing insights into the mechanisms of DSB-induced mutagenesis. Notably, we find that homologous-recombination (HR) is more mutagenic than previously thought, inducing prevalent base substitutions and mononucleotide deletions at distance from the break due to DNA-polymerase errors. Simultaneously, HR reduces translocations, suggesting a primary role of HR is specifically the prevention of genomic rearrangements. The results presented here offer fundamental insights into DSB-induced mutagenesis and have significant implications for our understanding of cancer biology and the development of DDR-targeting chemotherapeutics.
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly mutagenic making them central to many pathologies. Here, the authors developed a highly sensitive sequencing approach to study DSB mutagenesis, yielding insights into mutagenic outcomes and characterising their underlying mechanisms.
