AbstractDrosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis, human (DASH)-type cryptochromes (cry-DASHs) form one subclade of the cryptochrome/photolyase family (CPF). CPF members are flavoproteins that act as DNA-repair enzymes (DNA-photolyases), or as ultraviolet(UV)-A/blue light photoreceptors (cryptochromes). In mammals, cryptochromes are essential components of the circadian clock feed-back loop. Cry-DASHs are present in almost all major taxa and were initially considered as photoreceptors. Later studies demonstrated DNA-repair activity that was, however, restricted to UV-lesions in single-stranded DNA. Very recent studies, particularly on microbial organisms, substantiated photoreceptor functions of cry-DASHs suggesting that they could be transitions between photolyases and cryptochromes.

The circadian transcriptional repressors cryptochrome 1 (Cry1) and 2 (Cry2) evolved from photolyases, bacterial light-activated DNA repair enzymes. In this study, we report that while they have lost DNA repair activity, Cry1/2 adapted to protect genomic integrity by responding to DNA damage through posttranslational modification and coordinating the downstream transcriptional response. We demonstrate that genotoxic stress stimulates Cry1 phosphorylation and its deubiquitination by Herpes virus associated ubiquitin-specific protease (Hausp, a.k.a Usp7), stabilizing Cry1 and shifting circadian clock time. DNA damage also increases Cry2 interaction with Fbxl3, destabilizing Cry2. Thus, genotoxic stress increases the Cry1/Cry2 ratio, suggesting distinct functions for Cry1 and Cry2 following DNA damage. Indeed, the transcriptional response to genotoxic stress is enhanced in Cry1−/− and blunted in Cry2−/− cells. Furthermore, Cry2−/− cells accumulate damaged DNA. These results suggest that Cry1 and Cry2, which evolved from DNA repair enzymes, protect genomic integrity via coordinated transcriptional regulation.

The transcription factor Ets-1 (ETS proto-oncogene 1) shows low expression levels except in specific biological processes like haematopoiesis or angiogenesis. Elevated levels of expression are observed in tumor progression, resulting in Ets-1 being named an oncoprotein. It has recently been shown that Ets-1 interacts with two DNA repair enzymes, PARP-1 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) and DNA-PK (DNA-dependent protein kinase), through two different domains and that these interactions play a role in cancer. Considering that Ets-1 can bind to distinctly different domains of two DNA repair enzymes, we hypothesized that the interaction can be transposed onto homologs of the respective domains. We have searched for sequence and structure homologs of the interacting ETS(Ets-1), BRCT(PARP-1) and SAP(DNA-PK) domains, and have identified several candidate binding pairs that are currently not annotated as such. Many of the Ets-1 partners are associated to DNA repair mechanisms. We have applied protein-protein docking to establish putative interaction poses and investigated these using centrality analyses at the protein residue level. Most of the identified poses are virtually similar to our recently established interaction model for Ets-1/PARP-1 and Ets-1/DNA-PK. Our work illustrates the potentially high number of interactors of Ets-1, in particular involved in DNA repair mechanisms, which shows the oncoprotein as a potential important regulator of the mechanism.
