C16orf72/HAPSTR1/TAPR1 functions with BRCA1/Senataxin to modulate replication-associated R-loops and confer resistance to PARP disruption

Abstract While the toxicity of PARP inhibitors to cells with defects in homologous recombination (HR) is well established, other synthetic lethal interactions with PARP1/PARP2 disruption are poorly defined. To inform on these mechanisms we conducted a genome-wide screen for genes that are synthetic...

description Abstract While the toxicity of PARP inhibitors to cells with defects in homologous recombination (HR) is well established, other synthetic lethal interactions with PARP1/PARP2 disruption are poorly defined. To inform on these mechanisms we conducted a genome-wide screen for genes that are synthetic lethal with PARP1/2 gene disruption and identified C16orf72/HAPSTR1/TAPR1 as a novel modulator of replication-associated R-loops. C16orf72 is critical to facilitate replication fork restart, suppress DNA damage and maintain genome stability in response to replication stress. Importantly, C16orf72 and PARP1/2 function in parallel pathways to suppress DNA:RNA hybrids that accumulate at stalled replication forks. Mechanistically, this is achieved through an interaction of C16orf72 with BRCA1 and the RNA/DNA helicase Senataxin to facilitate their recruitment to RNA:DNA hybrids and confer resistance to PARP inhibitors. Together, this identifies a C16orf72/Senataxin/BRCA1-dependent pathway to suppress replication-associated R-loop accumulation, maintain genome stability and confer resistance to PARP inhibitors.
