Mutagenic Capacity of Endogenous G4 DNA Underlies Genome Instability in FANCJ-Defective C. elegans
Open accessAbstract
To safeguard genetic integrity, cells have evolved an accurate but not failsafe mechanism of DNA replication. Not all DNA sequences tolerate DNA replication equally well [1]. Also, genomic regions that impose structural barriers to the DNA replication fork are a potential source of genetic instability [2, 3]. Here, we demonstrate that G4 DNA-a sequence motif that folds into quadruplex structures in vitro [4, 5]-is highly mutagenic in vivo and is removed from genomes that lack dog-1, the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian FANCJ [6, 7], which is mutated in Fanconi anemia patients [8-11]. We show that sequences that match the G4 DNA signature G3-5N1-3G3-5N1-3G3-5N1-3G3-5 are deleted in germ and somatic tissues of dog-1 animals. Unbiased aCGH analyses of dog-1 genomes that were allowed to accumulate mutations in >100 replication cycles indicate that deletions are found exclusively at G4 DNA; deletion frequencies can reach 4% per site per animal generation. We found that deletion sizes fall short of Okazaki fragment lengths [12], and no significant microhomology was observed at deletion junctions. The existence of 376,000 potentially mutagenic G4 DNA sites in the human genome could have major implications for the etiology of hereditary FancJ and nonhereditary cancers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
