SUMMARYAssembly and disassembly of DNA repair protein complexes at sites of DNA damage is essential to maintain genomic integrity. We investigated factors coordinating assembly of the base excision repair (BER) proteins, DNA polymerase β (Polβ) and XRCC1, to DNA lesion sites, identifying a new role for Polβ in regulating XRCC1 disassembly from DNA repair complexes and conversely, demonstrating Polβ’s dependence on XRCC1 for complex assembly. RealPAR, a genetically-encoded probe for live cell imaging of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), reveals that Polβ and XRCC1 require PAR for repair complex assembly and PAR degradation for disassembly. We find that BER complex assembly is further modulated by attenuation / augmentation of NAD+ biosynthesis. Finally, SIRT6 does not regulate PARP1 activation but impairs XRCC1 recruitment, leading to diminished Polβ abundance at sites of DNA damage. These findings highlight coordinated yet independent roles for both PARP1 and SIRT6 and their regulation by NAD+ bioavailability to facilitate BER.

XRCC1 is an essential protein required for the maintenance of genomic stability through its implication in DNA repair. The main function of XRCC1 is associated with its role in the single-strand break (SSB) and base excision repair (BER) pathways that share several enzymatic steps. We show here that the polymorphic XRCC1 variant R194W presents a defect in its interaction with the DNA glycosylase OGG1 after oxidative stress. While proficient for single-strand break repair (SSBR), this variant does not colocalize with OGG1, reflecting a defect in its involvement in BER. Consistent with a role of XRCC1 in the coordination of the BER pathway, induction of oxidative base damage in XRCC1-deficient cells complemented with the R194W variant results in increased genetic instability as revealed by the accumulation of micronuclei. These data identify a specific molecular role for the XRCC1-OGG1 interaction in BER and provide a model for the effects of the R194W variant identified in molecular cancer epidemiology studies.

Abstract While in space, astronauts have been known to face exposure to stressors that may increase susceptibility to DNA damage. If DNA repair proteins are defective or nonexistent, DNA mutations may accumulate, causing increasingly abnormal function as one ages [1]. The DNA single-strand break repair protein XRCC1 is important for cerebellar neurogenesis and interneuron development [2]. According to previous studies, a deficiency of XRCC1 can lead to an increase in DNA damage, in mature neurons, and ataxia (a progressive loss of motor coordination) [2]. I propose to address how XRCC1’s efficiency can change in microgravity conditions. This experiment’s relevance is underscored by the importance of motor coordination and physical fitness for astronauts; determining the potential effects of microgravity on XRCC1 is crucial for future space exploration.
