Replication stress is a major source of endogenous DNA damage. Despite the identification of numerous proteins on replication forks to modulate fork or replication machinery activities, it remains unexplored whether noncoding RNAs can localize on stalled forks and play critical regulatory roles. Here, we identify an uncharacterized long noncoding RNA NONMMUT028956 ( for short) predominantly expressed in mouse embryonic stem cells. is accumulated on replication forks to prevent fork collapse and preserve genomic stability and is essential for mouse embryogenesis. Mechanistically, it drives assembly of the -TRIM28-HSP90B1 complex on stalled forks in an interdependent manner downstream of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) signaling. -TRIM28-HSP90B1 complex physically associates with minichromosome maintenance proteins 2 (MCM2) to minichromosome maintenance proteins 7 (MCM7) hexamer via TRIM28 and directly regulates the CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase retention on chromatin. The regulation of -TRIM28-HSP90B1 on CMG retention is mediated by HSP90B1's chaperoning function. These findings reveal a player that actively regulates replisome retention to prevent fork collapse.
复制压力是内源性 DNA 损伤的主要来源。尽管已经鉴定出许多在复制叉上的蛋白质来调节叉或复制机制的活性,但非编码 RNA 是否能定位于停滞的叉上并发挥关键的调节作用仍未被探索。在这里,我们鉴定了一个未被表征的长非编码 RNA NONMMUT028956(简称 ),它主要在小鼠胚胎干细胞中表达。在复制叉上积累,以防止叉崩溃和保持基因组稳定性,对小鼠胚胎发生至关重要。从机制上讲,它依赖于共济失调毛细血管扩张症和 Rad3 相关(ATR)信号下游的方式驱动 -TRIM28-HSP90B1 复合物在停滞的叉上组装。-TRIM28-HSP90B1 复合物通过 TRIM28 与微染色体维持蛋白 2(MCM2)物理结合,与微染色体维持蛋白 7(MCM7)六聚体结合,直接调节 CDC45-MCM-GINS(CMG)解旋酶在染色质上的保留。-TRIM28-HSP90B1 对 CMG 保留的调节是由 HSP90B1 的伴侣功能介导的。这些发现揭示了一个积极调节复制体保留以防止叉崩溃的因子。
