AbstractAbstract
Eukaryotic genomes contain many duplicated genes closely located with each other, such as the hexose transporter (HXT) genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They can potentially recombine via single-strand annealing (SSA) pathway. SSA between highly divergent sequences generates heteroduplex DNA intermediates with many mismatches, which can be corrected by mismatch repair (MMR), resulting in recombinant sequences with a single junction point. In this report, we demonstrate that SSA between HXT1 and HXT4 genes in MMR-deficient yeast cells produces recombinant genes with multiple-junctions resulting from alternating HXT1 and HXT4 tracts. The mutations in MMR genes had differential effects on SSA frequencies; msh6Δ mutation significantly stimulated SSA events, whereas msh2Δ and msh3Δ slightly suppressed it. We set up an assay that can identify a pair of recombinant genes derived from a single heteroduplex DNA. As a result, the recombinant genes with multiple-junctions were found to accompany genes with single-junctions. Based on the results presented here, a model was proposed to generate multiple-junctions in SSA pathway involving an alternative short-patch repair system.

AbstractAbstract
Eukaryotic genomes contain numerous homologous repeat sequences including redundant genes with divergent homology that can be potential recombination targets. Recombination between divergent sequences is rare but poses a substantial threat to genome stability. The hexose transporter (HXT) gene family shares high sequence similarities at both protein and DNA levels, and some members are placed close together in tandem arrays. In this study, we show that spontaneous interstitial deletions occur at significantly high rates in HXT gene clusters, resulting in chimeric HXT sequences that contain a single junction point. We also observed that DNA double-strand breaks created between HXT genes produce primarily interstitial deletions, whereas internal cleavage of the HXT gene resulted in gene conversions as well as deletion products. Interestingly, interstitial deletions were less constrained by sequence divergence than gene conversion. Moreover, recombination-defective mutations differentially affected the survival frequency. Mutations that impair single-strand annealing (SSA) pathway greatly reduced the survival frequency by 10–1,000-fold, whereas disruption of Rad51-dependent homologous recombination exhibited only modest reduction. Our results indicate that recombination in the tandemly repeated HXT genes occurs primarily via SSA pathway.

AbstractAbstract
Hrq1 helicase is a novel member of the RecQ family. Among the five human RecQ helicases, Hrq1 is most homologous to RECQL4 and is conserved in fungal genomes. Recent genetic and biochemical studies have shown that it is a functional gene, involved in the maintenance of genome stability. To better define the roles of Hrq1 in yeast cells, we investigated genetic interactions between HRQ1 and several DNA repair genes. Based on DNA damage sensitivities induced by 4-nitroquinoline- 1-oxide (4-NQO) or cisplatin, RAD4 was found to be epistatic to HRQ1. On the other hand, mutant strains defective in either homologous recombination (HR) or postreplication repair (PRR) became more sensitive by additional deletion of HRQ1, indicating that HRQ1 functions in the RAD4-dependent nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway independent of HR or PRR. In support of this, yeast twohybrid analysis showed that Hrq1 interacted with Rad4, which was enhanced by DNA damage. Overexpression of Hrq1K318A helicase-deficient protein rendered mutant cells more sensitive to 4-NQO and cisplatin, suggesting that helicase activity is required for the proper function of Hrq1 in NER.

AbstractAbstract
Maintenance of genome stability in eukaryotes involves a number of conserved proteins, including RecQ helicases, which play multiple roles at various steps in homologous recombination and DNA repair pathways. Sgs1 has been described as the only RecQ helicase in lower eukaryotes. However, recent studies revealed the presence of a second RecQ helicase, Hrq1, which is most homologous to human RECQL4. Here we show that hrq1Δ mutation resulted in increased mitotic recombination and spontaneous mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and sgs1Δ mutation had additive effects on the phenotypes of hrq1Δ. We also observed that the hrq1Δ mutant was sensitive to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide and cisplatin, which was not complemented by overexpression of Sgs1. In addition, the hrq1Δ sgs1Δ double mutant displayed synthetic growth defect as well as a shortened chronological life span compared with the respective single mutants. Analysis of the type of age-dependent Canr mutations revealed that only point mutations were found in hrq1Δ, whereas significant numbers of gross deletion mutations were found in sgs1Δ. Our results suggest that Hrq1 is involved in recombination and DNA repair pathways in S. cerevisiae independent of Sgs1.

AbstractAbstract
DNA metabolic processes such as DNA replication, recombination, and repair are fundamentally important for the maintenance of genome integrity and cell viability. Although a large number of proteins involved in these pathways have been extensively studied, many proteins still remain to be identified. In this study, we isolated DNA-binding proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using DNA-cellulose columns. By analyzing the proteins using mass spectrometry, an uncharacterized protein, Cmr1/YDL156W, was identified. Cmr1 showed sequence homology to human Damaged-DNA binding protein 2 in its C-terminal WD40 repeats. Consistent with this finding, the purified recombinant Cmr1 protein was found to be intrinsically associated with DNA-binding activity and exhibited higher affinity to UV-damaged DNA substrates. Chromatin isolation experiments revealed that Cmr1 localized in both the chromatin and supernatant fractions, and the level of Cmr1 in the chromatin fraction increased when yeast cells were irradiated with UV. These
results
suggest that Cmr1 may be involved in DNA-damage responses in yeast.

AbstractAbstract
The SRL4 (YPL033C) gene was initially identified by the screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that play a role in DNA metabolism and/or genome stability using the SOS system of Escherichia coli. In this study, we found that the srl4Δ; mutant cells were resistant to the chemicals that inhibit nucleotide metabolism and evidenced higher dNTP levels than were observed in the wild-type cells in the presence of hydroxyurea. The mutant cells also showed a significantly faster growth rate and higher dNTP levels at low temperature (16 oC) than were observed in the wild-type cells, whereas we detected no differences in the growth rate at 30oC. Furthermore, srl4Δ was shown to suppress the lethality of mutations of the essential S phase checkpoint genes, RAD53 and LCD1. These results indicate that SRL4 may be involved in the regulation of dNTP production by its function as a negative regulator of ribonucleotide reductase.

AbstractAbstract
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is a fundamental cellular process crucial for maintaining genome stability, with homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining as the primary mechanisms, and various alternative pathways such as single-strand annealing (SSA) and microhomology-mediated end joining also playing significant roles under specific conditions. IRC genes were previously identified as part of a group of genes associated with increased levels of Rad52 foci in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we investigated the effects of IRC gene mutations on DSB repair, focusing on uncharacterized IRC10, 19, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Gene conversion (GC) assay revealed that irc10Δ, 22Δ, 23Δ, and 24Δ mutants displayed modest increases in GC frequencies, while irc19Δ and irc21Δ mutants exhibited significant reductions. Further investigation revealed that deletion mutations in URA3 were not generated in irc19Δ mutant cells following HO-induced DSBs. Additionally, irc19Δ significantly reduced frequency of SSA, and a synergistic interaction between irc19Δ and rad52Δ was observed in DSB repair via SSA. Assays to determine the choice of DSB repair pathways indicated that Irc19 is necessary for generating both GC and deletion products. Overall, these results suggest a potential role of Irc19 in DSB repair pathways, particularly in end resection process.
