Abstract

Common fragile sites (CFSs) are loci that are hypersensitive to replication stress and hotspots for chromosomal rearrangements in cancers. CFSs replicate late in S phase, are cell-type specific and nest in large genes. The relative impact of transcription–replication conflicts versus a low density in initiation events on fragility is currently debated. Here we addressed the relationships between transcription, replication, and instability by manipulating the transcription of endogenous large genes in chicken and human cells. We found that inducing low transcription with a weak promoter destabilized large genes, whereas stimulating their transcription with strong promoters alleviated instability. Notably, strong promoters triggered a switch to an earlier replication timing, supporting a model in which high transcription levels give cells more time to complete replication before mitosis. Transcription could therefore contribute to maintaining genome integrity, challenging the dominant view that it is exclusively a threat.

Supplementary Figure 1 Tetracycline-induced transcriptional activation of DMD in DT40 cells.

a, Transcriptional activation using a Tet-ON inducible system. Tet-pro, Tet promoter. b, Construction of a stable DT40 cell line expressing the TR gene encoding the Tet repressor. Clone TR1 exhibited the best tetracycline-induced transcriptional activation of the luciferase reporter gene and was subsequently used for the Tet promoter integration. BsrR, blasticidin resistance gene. c, Targeting strategy. The 5’ part of the two DMD alleles, starting at exon 1 (e1, black box), is shown. Alleles were sequentially targeted in the TR1 cell line with constructs 1 then 2. Despite numerous attempts, we were unable to integrate the Tet promoter precisely upstream of the first exon of DMD; we therefore shifted the insertion site and managed to integrate the construct 4.1 kb downstream of the DMD transcription start site (TSS). As a result, the DMDTet allele is ~ 4 kb shorter than the WT DMD gene (992 and 996 kb, respectively). A synthetic DMD exon 1 was inserted together with the Tet promoter to fully reconstitute the DMD transcript, which was confirmed by RT–qPCR (Fig. 1a). Targeting construct 1 contained (1) a 2.1-kb-long 5ʹ homology region, (2) a puromycin selection cassette (PURO) made of the chicken β-actin promoter, the puromycin resistance gene (PuroR) and SV40 polyadenylation signals (pA) flanked by loxP sites (white arrowheads), (3) a 71-bp linker (violet line), (4) the Tet promoter (Tet-pro) upstream of a synthetic DMD exon 1, and (5) a 2.1-kb-long 3ʹ homology region. Targeting construct 2 was similar to targeting construct 1 except that the ZEO selection cassette contained a zeocin resistance gene (ZeoR) and that a 60-bp linker (pink line) was used. Recombinants were identified by PCR using the indicated primers (gray arrows) and by Southern blot with AflII and EcoRV restriction sites and the indicated probes. Excision of the selection cassettes was achieved by transient induction of Cre recombinase activity on 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TX) treatment and verified by PCR with primers d/e. d,e, Screening of recombinant clones by PCR (d) and Southern blot (e). + and – indicate positive and negative clones, respectively. Arrows point to the bands of the expected size described in c. Asterisks indicate non-specific bands. L, ladder. f, Verification of excision of the floxed selection cassettes by PCR using primers d/e. Before excision, the presence of the GC-rich (>71.76%) β-actin promoter prevents amplification in standard PCR conditions. L, ladder. g,h, Activation of DMD transcription has no visible impact on cell growth or cell cycle. g, Representative growth curves of WT, TR1 and DMDTet/Tet cells without tetracycline (left; this experiment was performed independently four times for WT cells and twice for TR1 cells and DMDTet/Tet cells without tetracycline with similar results) and of WT and DMDTet/Tet cells with or without tetracycline (right; this experiment was performed twice independently with similar results). The population doubling time of both WT cells and DMDTet/Tet cells with tetracycline is ~ 9.2 h, indicating that the induction of DMD transcription has no impact on cell growth. h, Representative bivariate BrdU/DNA FACS analysis of WT, TR1 and DMDTet/Tet cells with or without tetracycline (this experiment was performed twice independently with similar results). Gates indicate the fraction of cells in the G1, S and G2+M phases of the cell cycle. i, DMD is not fragile in the absence of aphidicolin in WT and DMDTet/Tet cells with tetracycline. Metaphase spreads were prepared from exponentially growing cells. Breaks were localized by FISH using probes flanking DMD. n = 1 cell culture. Numbers of broken and total chromosomes are presented on top. This experiment was performed once

Supplementary Figure 2 Examples of two-color FISH on metaphase spreads from aphidicolin-treated DT40 and human cells.

a–c,e, DT40 cells were grown for 16 h with 0.6 μM aphidicolin. Metaphase spreads were hybridized with biotin or digoxigenin-labeled probes (red and green signals, respectively) flanking DMD (a,e), PARK2 (b) or CCSER1 (c); chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI (blue signal). Reverse DAPI staining is also shown. Intact and broken alleles of DMD, PARK2 or CCSER1 are boxed with a dotted and a solid line, respectively. Enlarged panels highlight chromosomes with breaks. The arrow indicates the position of the break. The cell line is indicated on the left. Scale bar, 2 μm. d, HCT116 cells were grown for 16 h with 0.15 μM aphidicolin. Metaphase spreads were hybridized with three biotinylated probes overlapping FRA3B as well as a chromosome 3 centromeric probe (red and green signals, respectively); chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI (blue signal). Reverse DAPI staining is also shown. Breaks on the long arm of chromosome 3 (Chr 3q) were determined on reverse DAPI staining. Intact and broken FRA3B or Chr 3q are boxed with a dotted and a solid line, respectively. Enlarged panels highlight chromosomes with breaks at FRA3B or Chr 3q. The arrow indicates the position of the break. The cell line is indicated on the left. Scale bar, 2 μm

Supplementary Figure 3 Molecular combing analysis of the DMD and CCSER1 loci.

a, Top, DMD gene (yellow box) and Morse-code probes (green boxes) used in DNA combing experiments to identify the locus. C, centromeric; T, telomeric. An example of a DNA fiber bearing the whole Morsecode is shown (the DNA fiber presented here spans several microscope fields of view; please note that background was removed to improve clarity). Bottom, same as above for the CCSER1 gene. b, Scheme of the protocol for double pulse-labeling of replication in asynchronous cell cultures. c, Example of raw images showing combed DNA fibers from WT DT40 cells. Top, DNA fibers counterstained in red and Morse-code probes in green. Bottom, same microscope field with IdU and CldU replication signals revealed in blue and red, respectively, and Morse-code probes in green (please note that the red and blue channels were adjusted). A fiber bearing part of the DMD Morsecode and a replication signal consisting of an IdU tract followed by a CldU tract is detected (white box). The single stranded DNA signal is stronger at the level of the replication tracts because of antibody cross-reactivity. Scale bar, 5 μm. d, Principles of replication signal analysis. A schematic representation of typical replication patterns visualized after immunofluorescence is shown. Blue and red tracts represent neo-synthesized DNA labeled with IdU and CldU, respectively. DNA fibers are in gray. Successive pulses of IdU and CldU allow the recognition of initiation (i) and termination (t) events as well as the recognition and orientation of ongoing replication forks. Black vertical arrows indicate the estimated positions of initiation and termination events

Supplementary Figure 4 Schematic representation of all DNA fibers with replication signals analyzed in this study.

a,b, From top to bottom: DMD (a) or CCSER1 (b) loci (yellow box), Morse-code probes (green boxes) used in DNA combing experiments and DNA fibers aligned along the locus using the Morsecode. Morsecodes comprise 32 probes organized in seven motifs (A–E, I, K) and 27 probes organized in five motifs (A–E) for DMD and CCSER1, respectively. Pink boxes represent the inserted constructs. DNA fibers are represented by a gray line, IdU and CldU tracts are in blue and red, respectively. Only DNA fibers with replication signals are shown (1,064 and 1,018 fibers have been collected for the DMD locus in WT and DMDTet/Tet cells with tetracycline, respectively; 636 and 1,436 fibers have been collected for the CCSER1 locus in WT and CCSER1βa/βa cells, respectively). The cell line, number (n) and mean length of fibers with replication signals are indicated on the left. DNA fibers are randomly organized. Please note that DNA fibers are fairly often interrupted at the level of a Morse-code probe; this is especially visible for fibers aligned along the CCSER1 locus. The explanation stems from the frequently dotted DNA fiber counterstaining that prevents a precise determination of the DNA molecule boundaries, which were therefore set to the visible Morse-code probes. This also explains why the total DNA coverage is not entirely homogeneous bus is higher at the level of the Morse-code probes used to identify DMD or CCSER1 (see Figs. 1c,d and 2c,d).

Supplementary Figure 5 Overexpression of CCSER1 in DT40 cells.

a, Targeting strategy. The 5ʹ part of the two CCSER1 alleles, starting at exon 1 (e1, black box), is shown. Alleles were sequentially targeted with constructs 1 then 2. As for DMD, despite numerous attempts, we were unable to replace the endogenous CCSER1 promoter by the chicken β-actin promoter; we therefore shifted the insertion site and managed to integrate the construct 9,864 bp downstream of the CCSER1 TSS. As a result, the CCSER1βa allele is ~ 10 kb shorter than the WT CCSER1 gene (606 and 616 kb, respectively). A synthetic CSSER1 exon 1 was inserted together with the β-actin promoter to fully reconstitute the CCSER1 transcript, which was confirmed by RT–qPCR (Fig. 2a). Targeting construct 1 contained (1) a 2-kb-long 5’ homology region, (2) a blasticidin selection cassette (BSR) made of the chicken β-actin promoter, the blasticidin resistance gene (BsrR) and SV40 polyadenylation signals (pA) flanked by loxP sites (white arrowheads), (3) an 89-bp linker (violet line), (4) the chicken β-actin promoter upstream of a synthetic CCSER1 exon 1, and (5) a 2-kb-long 3’ homology region. Targeting construct 2 was similar to targeting construct 1 except that the PURO selection cassette contained a puromycin resistance gene (PuroR), an 86-bp linker (pink line) was used, and a 20-bp sequence (orange line) was inserted between the 5’ homology region and the left loxP site to allow the hybridization of primer k in order to distinguish the CCSER1PURO-βa and CCSER1BSR-βa alleles. Recombinants were identified by PCR using the indicated primers (gray arrows) and by Southern blot with AflII and EcoRV restriction sites and the indicated probes. Please note that the floxed selection cassette located upstream of the β-actin promoter–exon 1 was not excised in the CCSER1βa/βa cells used in Fig. 2 to block transcription coming from the endogenous CCSER1 promoter. b,c, Screening of recombinant clones by PCR (b) and Southern blot (c). + and – indicate positive and negative clones, respectively.

L, ladder. d,e, Impact of CCSER1 overexpression on cell physiology. d, Representative growth curves of WT and CCSER1βa/βa cells (this experiment was performed independently four times for WT cells and twice for CCSER1βa/βa cells with similar results). CCSER1 overexpression slows down cell growth, with a population doubling time of ~ 12.4 h compared to ~ 9.2 h for WT cells. e, Representative bivariate BrdU/DNA FACS analysis of WT and CCSER1βa/βa cells (this experiment was performed twice independently with similar results). Gates indicate the fraction of cells in the G1, S and G2+M phases of the cell cycle. The S-phase fraction of CCSER1βa/βa cells is slightly lower than for WT cells. f, Quantification of 5-ethynyl uridine incorporation into nascent CCSER1 RNAs in WT and CCSER1βa/βa cells (median and extreme values; nWT = 2 independent cell cultures, nCCSER1βa/βa = 3). On top, a map of CCSER1 with its exons, the position of the β-actin promoter–CCSER1 exon 1 insertion site and that of the intronic primer pairs used to monitor transcript formation is presented. i1a and i1b measure the level of nascent CCSER1 RNAs upstream and downstream of the promoter insertion site, respectively. This experiment was performed independently twice for WT cells and three times for CCSER1βa/βa cells with similar results. g, CCSER1 is not fragile in the absence of aphidicolin in WT and CCSER1βa/βa cells. Metaphase spreads were prepared from exponentially growing cells. Breaks were localized by FISH using probes flanking CCSER1. n = 1 cell culture. Numbers of broken and total chromosomes are presented on top. This experiment was performed once. h, Heterozygous CCSER1+/βa cells used in Fig. 5a. The BSR selection cassette was excised to prevent any interference in the comparison between the CCSER1βa and CCSER1βa-puro-polyA alleles. Excision was achieved by transient induction of Cre recombinase activity on 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TX) treatment and verified by the loss of antibiotic resistance

Supplementary Figure 6 Overexpression of FHIT in human HCT116 cells.

a, Targeting strategy. The FHIT promoter was replaced in HCT116 cells by an EF1α-hygromycin selection cassette using CRISPR–Cas9-mediated genome editing. EF1α (elongation factor-1 alpha) is a constitutive, robust promoter of human origin that can efficiently drive ectopic gene expression. The 5’ part of the two FHIT alleles, starting at exon 1 (e1, black box), is shown. Cas9-mediated cleavage (represented as black scissors) was achieved thanks to a pair of guide RNAs (gRNA1 and gRNA2, light and dark orange lines), resulting in the deletion of a ~ 1.9-kb region centered on FHIT promoter/exon 1. The inserted EF1α-hygromycin selection cassette was present in a homologous recombination (HR) targeting vector (HR710PA-1-FHIT plasmid), where it was flanked by sequences homologous to the FHIT promoter region 10 bp adjacent to the Cas9 cutting sites (the 5’ and 3’ homology regions extend over 985 and 974 bp, respectively). The HR710PA-1-FHIT plasmid also contained an hsvTK selection cassette located next to the 3’ homology region, which allowed the elimination of cells that have integrated the plasmid not via HR by sensitizing them to ganciclovir. Recombinants were identified by PCR using the indicated primers (gray arrows). The insertion of the EF1α-hygromycin selection cassette massively upregulated FHIT transcription despite the absence of exon 1, as observed by nascent RNA quantification (Fig. 3a). b, Identification of recombinant clones by PCR. + indicates a positive clone. A 4,242-bp-long PCR product is amplified from the WT FHIT allele using the m/p primer pair, while no PCR product is obtained after insertion of the EF1α-hygromycin cassette, allowing discrimination between homozygous and heterozygous clones. Arrows point to the bands of the expected size described in a. Asterisks indicate non-specific bands. L, ladder

Supplementary Figure 7 Modulation of DMD transcription in DT40 cells.

a,b, Targeting strategy for Tet promoter (a) or chicken β-actin promoter (b) insertion on one DMD allele. The 5’ part of the two DMD alleles, starting at exon 1 (e1, black box), is shown. As previously described (see Supplementary Fig. 1c), constructs were integrated 4.1 kb downstream of the DMD TSS; a synthetic DMD exon 1 was inserted together with the promoter to fully reconstitute the DMD transcript. a, One allele was targeted in the TR1 cell line with the targeting construct 1 described in Supplementary Fig. 1c. b, One allele was targeted in WT cells with a targeting construct that contained (1) a 2.1-kb-long 5’ homology region, (2) a puromycin selection cassette (PURO) made of the chicken β-actin promoter, the puromycin resistance gene (PuroR) and SV40 polyadenylation signals (pA) flanked by loxP sites (white arrowheads), (3) an 89-bp linker (orange line), (4) the chicken β-actin promoter upstream of a synthetic DMD exon 1, and (5) a 2.1-kb-long 3’ homology region. Recombinants were identified by PCR using the indicated primers (gray arrows). Excision of the selection cassettes was achieved by transient induction of Cre recombinase activity on 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TX) treatment and verified by PCR with primers d/e (a) or d/l (b). c,d, Screening of recombinant clones by PCR in DMD+/Tet (c) or DMD+/βa (d) cells. + and – indicate positive and negative clones, respectively. Arrows point to the bands of the expected size described in a and b. L, ladder. e,f, Verification of excision of the floxed selection cassette in DMD+/Tet (e) or DMD+/βa (f) cells by PCR using primers described in a and b. Before excision, the presence of the GC-rich (>71.76%) β-actin promoter prevents amplification in standard PCR conditions. Asterisks indicate non-specific bands. L, ladder. g, Representative growth curves of WT and DMD+/βa cells (this experiment was performed independently four times for WT cells and twice for DMD+/βa cells with similar results). Induction of DMD transcription by the β-actin promoter has no visible impact on cell growth in heterozygous cells

Supplementary Figure 8 Insertion of SV40 polyadenylation signals downstream of the β-actin promoter in DT40 cells.

a, Targeting strategy. The 5’ part of the two CCSER1 alleles, starting at exon 1 (e1, black box), is shown. Alleles were first targeted with construct 1 containing 2-kb-long 5’ and 3’ homology regions flanking the chicken β-actin promoter followed by the puromycin resistance gene (PuroR) and SV40 polyadenylation signals (pA) to generate the CCSER1βa-puro-polyA allele of heterozygous CCSER1+/βa-puro-polyA cells used in Fig. 5b. The insertion site is the same as that of the β-actin promoter alone, 9,864 bp downstream of the CCSER1 TSS (see Supplementary Fig. 5h). The "β-actin promoter-PuroR gene-SV40 polyadenylation signals" transgene was flanked by loxP sites (white arrowheads). WT CCSER1 allele 2 was then targeted with construct 2 to generate CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells used in Fig. 5c,d. Construct 2 was similar to construct 1 except that the puromycin resistance gene was replaced by the blasticidin resistance gene (BsrR). Insertion of both constructs induced early termination of CCSER1 transcription ~ 12 kb after the TSS. b,c, Screening of recombinant clones by PCR (b) and Southern blot (c). + and – indicate positive and negative clones, respectively. Arrows point to the bands of the expected size described in a. Asterisks indicate non-specific bands. L, ladder. d,e, Impact of early termination of CCSER1 transcription on cell physiology. d, Representative growth curves of WT and CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells (this experiment was performed independently four times for WT cells and twice for CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells with similar results). Early termination of CCSER1 transcription slightly slows down cell growth, with a population doubling time of ~ 10.9 h compared to ~ 9.3 h for WT cells. e, Representative bivariate BrdU/DNA FACS analysis of WT and CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells (this experiment was performed twice independently with similar results). Gates indicate the fraction of cells in the G1, S and G2+M phases of the cell cycle. The S-phase fraction of CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells is slightly lower than for WT cells. f, CCSER1 is not fragile in the absence of aphidicolin in WT and CCSER1βa-puro-polyA/βa-bsr-polyA cells. Metaphase spreads were prepared from exponentially growing cells. Breaks were localized by FISH using probes flanking CCSER1. n = 1 cell culture. Numbers of broken and total chromosomes are presented on top. This experiment was performed once. g, Gating strategy for bivariate FACS analysis. Exponentially growing DT40 cells were pulse-labeled with BrdU and fixed in ethanol. Immunodetection of BrdU was performed after partial denaturation of DNA. DNA was counterstained with propidium iodide (PI) prior to flow cytometry analysis. Cells were gated through the FSC-A versus PE-A (SSC) plot to distinguish between dead and living cells. Living cells were then interrogated by the ratios of area (Pe-Cy5-A) to height (Pe-Cy5-H) of the PI signal to gate out cell aggregates. Finally, living, single cells were analyzed for their BrdU uptake (FITC-A) versus their PI signal (Pe-Cy5-A), which provides a typical horseshoe-shaped profile allowing to discriminate between cells in G1, S and G2+M phases of the cell cycle. Pink numbers correspond to the percentage of gated cells
