Human SSB1 (single-stranded binding protein 1 [hSSB1]) was recently identified as a part of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) signaling pathway. To investigate hSSB1 function, we performed tandem affinity purifications of hSSB1 mutants mimicking the unphosphorylated and ATM-phosphorylated states. Both hSSB1 mutants copurified a subset of Integrator complex subunits and the uncharacterized protein LOC58493/c9orf80 (henceforth minute INTS3/hSSB-associated element [MISE]). The INTS3–MISE–hSSB1 complex plays a key role in ATM activation and RAD51 recruitment to DNA damage foci during the response to genotoxic stresses. These effects on the DNA damage response are caused by the control of hSSB1 transcription via INTS3, demonstrating a new network controlling hSSB1 function.

AbstractMutations in X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) cause Rett syndrome (RTT). We carried out a genetic screen for secondary mutations that improved phenotypes in Mecp2/Y mice after mutagenesis with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU), aiming to identify potential therapeutic entry points. Here we report the isolation of 106 founder animals that show suppression of Mecp2-null traits from screening 3,177 Mecp2/Y genomes. Using exome sequencing, genetic crosses and association analysis, we identify 33 candidate genes in 30 of the suppressor lines. A network analysis shows that 61% of the candidate genes cluster into the functional categories of transcriptional repression, chromatin modification or DNA repair, delineating a pathway relationship with MECP2. Many mutations lie in genes that are predicted to modulate synaptic signaling or lipid homeostasis. Surprisingly, mutations in genes that function in the DNA damage response (DDR) also improve symptoms in Mecp2/Y mice. The combinatorial effects of multiple loci can be resolved by employing association analysis. One line, which was previously reported to carry a suppressor mutation in a gene required for cholesterol synthesis, Sqle, carries a second mutation in retinoblastoma binding protein 8 (Rbbp8 or CtIP), which regulates a DDR choice in double stranded break (DSB) repair. Cells from Mecp2/Y mice have increased DSBs, so this finding suggests that the balance between homology directed repair and non-homologous end joining is important for neuronal cells. In this and other lines, the presence of two suppressor mutations confers better symptom improvement than one locus alone, suggesting that combination therapies could be effective in RTT.
