摘要

DNA single-strand break (SSB) repair defects lead to hereditary neurological syndromes. Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 (SCAN1), is caused by the homozygous H493R mutation in tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1), an enzyme that initiates the repair of DNA topoisomerase 1 (TOP1)-induced SSBs by unlinking the TOP1 peptide from the break. Although TDP1 also initiates the repair of TOP1-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) associated with transcription, the role of TOP1-induced DSBs in SCAN1 pathology remains unclear. Here, we have addressed the impact of the SCAN1/H493R mutation on the repair of TOP1-induced DSBs. We demonstrate that while TDP1 loss delays the repair of these breaks, SCAN1/H493R completely blocks it in RPE-1 quiescent cells. This blockage is specific to DSBs and is accompanied by a prolonged trapping of mutated TDP1 on DNA, but not of TOP1 cleavage complexes (TOP1cc). Intriguingly, the H263A inactivating mutation of TDP1, which accumulates TOP1cc, also blocks TOP1-induced DSB repair. Importantly, both SCAN1/H493R and H263A mutations exhibit genome instability and cell death. Moreover, we demonstrate that tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) can compensate for TDP1 loss in RPE-1 quiescent cells. Collectively, our data support the potential role of TOP1-induced DSBs as a main contributor to certain hereditary neurological syndromes.
