Human CST (CTC1-STN1-TEN1) is a ssDNA-binding complex that interacts with the replisome to aid in stalled fork rescue. We previously found that CST promotes telomere replication to maintain genomic integrity via G-quadruplex (G4) resolution. However, the detailed mechanism by which CST resolves G4s in vivo and whether additional factors are involved remains unclear. Here, we identify RECQ4 as a novel CST-interacting partner and show that RECQ4 can unwind G4 structures in vitro using a FRET assay. Moreover, G4s accumulate at the telomere after RECQ4 depletion, resulting in telomere dysfunction, including the formation of MTSs, SFEs, and TIFs, suggesting that RECQ4 is crucial for telomere integrity. Furthermore, CST is also required for RECQ4 telomere or chromatin localization in response to G4 stabilizers. RECQ4 is involved in preserving genomic stability by CST and RECQ4 disruption impairs restart of replication forks stalled by G4s. Overall, our findings highlight the essential roles of CST and RECQ4 in resolving G-rich regions, where they collaborate to resolve G4-induced replication deficiencies and maintain genomic homeostasis.
人类 CST(CTC1-STN1-TEN1)是一个 ssDNA 结合复合物,与复制体相互作用以帮助修复停滞的叉。我们之前发现 CST 通过 G-四链体(G4)的解析促进端粒复制,以维持基因组的完整性。然而,CST 在体内解析 G4 的详细机制以及是否涉及其他因素尚不清楚。在这里,我们鉴定出 RECQ4 是 CST 的一个新的相互作用伙伴,并表明 RECQ4 可以使用 FRET 测定体外解开 G4 结构。此外,RECQ4 耗竭后 G4 在端粒处积累,导致端粒功能障碍,包括 MTSs、SFEs 和 TIFs 的形成,表明 RECQ4 对于端粒完整性至关重要。此外,CST 对于 RECQ4 在响应 G4 稳定剂时在端粒或染色质上的定位也是必需的。RECQ4 通过 CST 参与维持基因组稳定性,而 RECQ4 的破坏会损害 G4 稳定引发的复制叉的重新启动。总的来说,我们的发现强调了 CST 和 RECQ4 在解析富含 G 的区域中的重要作用,它们共同协作以解决 G4 诱导的复制缺陷并维持基因组的内稳性。
