    Figure 8. Model for the role of SETX in restarting R-loop-stalled forks via the MUS81–LIG4–ELL pathway. To resume DNA replication, the stalled replication fork is cleaved by MUS81 endonuclease, which results in resolution of the torsional stress in the DNA generated by the transcription-replication encounter. SETX is proposed to act in a sequential manner with DDX17 helicase, possibly as a SETX-DDX17 complex (not shown), to mediate R-loop unwinding, a prerequisite for RNAPII transcription restart. In this process, DDX17 partially unwinds the RNA:DNA hybrid generating a 5 ′ -single-standed RNA tail where SETX is loaded to initiate processive unwinding of the RNA:DNA hybrid. DNA replication resumes f ollo wing f ork religation b y DNA ligase IV (LIG4) and ELL-mediated reactiv ation of transcription. SETX or DDX17 deficiency leads to accumulation of MUS81-clea v ed f orks, which are subjected to DNA2-mediated nucleolytic processing resulting in genomic inst abilit y.

To resume DNA replication, the stalled replication fork is cleaved by MUS81 endonuclease, which results in resolution of the torsional stress in the DNA generated by the transcription-replication encounter. SETX is proposed to act in a sequential manner with DDX17 helicase, possibly as a SETX-DDX17 complex (not shown), to mediate R-loop unwinding, a prerequisite for RNAPII transcription restart. In this process, DDX17 partially unwinds the RNA:DNA hybrid generating a 5 ′ -single-standed RNA tail where SETX is loaded to initiate processive unwinding of the RNA:DNA hybrid. DNA replication resumes f ollo wing f ork religation b y DNA ligase IV (LIG4) and ELL-mediated reactiv ation of transcription. SETX or DDX17 deficiency leads to accumulation of MUS81-clea v ed f orks, which are subjected to DNA2-mediated nucleolytic processing resulting in genomic inst abilit y. CMG, CDC45–MCM2-7–GINS helicase; Pol ε , DNA polymerase epsilon; Pol δ, DNA polymerase delta; RNAPII, RNA polymerase II.

    Figure 7. SETX forms a complex with DDX17 in human cells. ( A ) DDX17 isoforms (p72 and p82) co-immunoprecipitate with SETX from HEK293 cell extracts. Cells were treated either with 100 nM CPT or with vehicle (DMSO) for 1 h before harvest. Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with rabbit polyclonal anti-SETX antibody. Rabbit IgG was incubated with extract of DMSO-treated cells as a control. Representative western blot of three independent experiments is shown. ( B ) Representative images (left panel) and quantification (right panel) of PLA foci between SETX and DDX17 in U2OS T-REx [RNaseH1-GFP] cells before and 24 h after induction of RNaseH1 expression with doxycycline (Dox). Medians of data sets from three independent experiments are plotted (n > 200). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis: Ordinary one-way ANO V A followed by Šídák’s multiple comparisons, with a single pooled variance. Scale bar, 10 μm.

( A ) Effect of SETX depletion on replication fork recovery after induction of R-loop-mediated fork stalling in U2OS cells. Schematic of DNA fiber assays is shown on the top. The R-loop-inducing drug, camptothecin (CPT; 100 nM) was added to cells during CldU incorporation for the last 20 min. Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) was used as a vehicle. Cells were then washed and released into a fresh medium containing IdU. Replication tracts containing only CldU (red-only tracts) were designated as stalled replication f orks. R eplication tracts containing both CldU and IdU w ere scored as ongoing f orks (red / green tracts). T he percent age of st alled replication forks is plotted. Data represent mean ± SD ( n = 3). ( B ) Effect of SETX depletion on the rescue of CPT-induced fork stalling by PARP inhibition in U2OS cells, which requires the MUS81-LIG4-ELL axis. Schematic of DNA fiber assa y s and representativ e images of DNA replication tracts upon indicated conditions are shown on the left. CPT (100 nM) was present during IdU labeling. The PARP inhibitor (PARPi), olaparib (10 μM) was added 2 h before DNA fiber labeling and was also present during the labeling to boost replication restart. The values of the IdU / CldU tract length ratio obtained in three independent experiments are plotted ( n > 300). Red lines represent the median.

    Figure 8. Model for the role of SETX in restarting R-loop-stalled forks via the MUS81–LIG4–ELL pathway. To resume DNA replication, the stalled replication fork is cleaved by MUS81 endonuclease, which results in resolution of the torsional stress in the DNA generated by the transcription-replication encounter. SETX is proposed to act in a sequential manner with DDX17 helicase, possibly as a SETX-DDX17 complex (not shown), to mediate R-loop unwinding, a prerequisite for RNAPII transcription restart. In this process, DDX17 partially unwinds the RNA:DNA hybrid generating a 5 ′ -single-standed RNA tail where SETX is loaded to initiate processive unwinding of the RNA:DNA hybrid. DNA replication resumes f ollo wing f ork religation b y DNA ligase IV (LIG4) and ELL-mediated reactiv ation of transcription. SETX or DDX17 deficiency leads to accumulation of MUS81-clea v ed f orks, which are subjected to DNA2-mediated nucleolytic processing resulting in genomic inst abilit y.
