The ASCIZ-DYNLL1 axis promotes 53BP1-dependent non-homologous end joining and PARP inhibitor sensitivity Abstract53BP1 controls a specialized non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway that is essential for adaptive immunity, yet oncogenic in BRCA1 mutant cancers. Intra-chromosomal DNA double-strand break (DSB) joining events during immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) require 53BP1. However, in BRCA1 mutant cells, 53BP1 blocks homologous recombination (HR) and promotes toxic NHEJ, resulting in genomic instability. Here, we identify the protein dimerization hub鈥擠YNLL1鈥攁s an organizer of multimeric 53BP1 complexes. DYNLL1 binding stimulates 53BP1 oligomerization, and promotes 53BP1鈥檚 recruitment to, and interaction with, DSB-associated chromatin. Consequently, DYNLL1 regulates 53BP1-dependent NHEJ: CSR is compromised upon deletion of Dynll1 or its transcriptional regulator Asciz, or by mutation of DYNLL1 binding motifs in 53BP1; furthermore, Brca1 mutant cells and tumours are rendered resistant to poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor treatments upon deletion of Dynll1 or Asciz. Thus, our results reveal a mechanism that regulates 53BP1-dependent NHEJ and the therapeutic response of BRCA1-deficient cancers. IntroductionTo counteract the potentially carcinogenic effects of DNA damage and mutation, cells employ a complex network of DNA repair pathways1. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most toxic of genomic lesions. They arise from a variety of endogenous and exogenous sources, including ionizing radiation (IR) treatments, replication fork collapse, and as programmed intermediates of antigen receptor gene rearrangements during variable, diversity and joining (V(D)J) recombination and class-switch recombination (CSR)2,3. DSBs are predominantly repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways. HR is an essential DNA repair pathway owing to its utility in the repair of DSBs encountered during the S/G2-phases of proliferating cell populations4, and mutations affecting its fidelity are associated with tumourigenesis1. HR initiation involves the regulated nucleolytic resection of DSB termini in a 5使鈥?使 direction, which is an important determinant of whether a given break is repaired by HR or NHEJ5. The resulting 3使-tailed ends are used to invade homologous sequences on the sister chromatid, which is used as a template for accurate repair. The availability of a sister chromatid in only replicated regions of the genome ensures that HR repair is largely restricted to S and G2 phase cells, while NHEJ predominates in G13. NHEJ instead involves the direct ligation of DSB ends, a mechanism utilized by developing and antigen-stimulated lymphocytes to generate programmed deletions during the diversification of antigen receptor genes. However, inappropriate activity of the NHEJ pathway is also known to promote genomic rearrangements and translocations associated with the onset of cancer. Activation of the appropriate pathway for a given DSB type, cellular context, or genomic locus is therefore crucial for the maintenance of genome stability and avoidance of deleterious errors or mutations5.TP53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) is a DSB responsive protein that mediates an important and specialised branch of the NHEJ pathway6. 53BP1 is rapidly recruited to DSB sites, where its interaction with modified nucleosomes in DSB-flanking chromatin functions to inhibit nucleolytic DNA end resection, favouring DNA joining by NHEJ. This involves binding to a combinatorial chromatin signature consisting of methylated histone H4 (H4K20me1/2) and ubiquitinated H2A (H2AK15Ub) within DSB-associated chromatin domains7,8, and the recruitment of downstream effector proteins such as RIF1 (RAP1 interacting factor 1), whose binding to 53BP1 is required for efficient DNA end-protection and NHEJ9,10,11. RIF1-53BP1 complexes are essential for immunoglobulin (Ig) CSR, an NHEJ-driven deletional recombination reaction in activated B cells that mediates the replacement of excised default IgM-encoding constant (C) gene segments of the Ig heavy locus (Igh), with downstream C segments of different class and function (e.g., IgG, IgE and IgA). Mice deficient in 53BP1 or RIF1 are immunodeficient owing to CSR failure9,12,13,14, defects that manifest as a result of the aberrant hyper-resection of Igh DSBs that generate ssDNA intermediates non-amenable to NHEJ9,14,15. The 53BP1 pathway also plays an equivalent but pathological role in DNA end-joining at de-protected telomeres: telomeric DNA ends exposed upon disruption of the telomere capping complex Shelterin are predominantly repaired by 53BP1-dependent NHEJ, resulting in chromosome end fusions16. Accordingly, uncapped telomeric DNA ends are hyper-resected in 53bp1- and Rif1-deficient cells, resulting in a near complete suppression of telomere end-joining11,17.53BP1-dependent NHEJ is also problematic in BRCA1-deficient cancers, where it mediates chromosomal rearrangements that drive oncogenesis18,19. In mice, germline 53bp1-deletion suppresses the embryonic lethality and mammary tumourigenesis associated with homozygous Brca1 loss-of-function mutations, a rescue explained by reactivation of HR19. Conversely, 53BP1 pathway-associated DSB repair activities underlie the synthetic lethal effect of poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) treatments in BRCA1 mutation-associated cancers: genetic ablation of 53BP1 pathway components results in PARPi resistance in cellular and tumour models of BRCA1-deficiency9,20,21.Aside from DSB repair, distinct 53BP1 protein complexes regulate the activation of p53-dependent senescence programs triggered in response to p53-activating drug treatments and prolonged mitotic transit22,23,24,25. Here, 53BP1鈥檚 C-terminal BRCT domains bridge p53鈥檚 interaction with the deubiquitinating enzyme USP28, catalysing de-ubiquitination events that stimulate p53 binding to, and activation of, target gene promoters22.While mechanistically distinct, both NHEJ and p53-regulatory functions require 53BP1 multimerization22,26,27, a function thought to rely entirely on its oligomerization domain (OD; encoded within amino acid residues (a.a.) 1231鈥?277)28. NHEJ-deficits have been attributed to an inability to recruit 53BP1 to DSB-associated chromatin, as OD mutation/deletion blocks the retention of 53BP1 protein fragments at DNA damage sites, and also compromises their interaction with modified nucleosome core particles in vitro8,28,29. Perhaps unexpectedly, we and others recently reported that the recruitment of a full-length 53BP1 protein into IR induced foci (IRIF) was only modestly impacted by OD- deletion or mutation22,27. This prompted us to explore the molecular basis and function of OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment.Here, we reveal that 53BP1 can interact with DNA damage sites independently of its OD, and this recruitment depends on interaction with the multifunctional homodimeric protein hub dynein light chain 1 (DYNLL1). We demonstrate that DYNLL1 binding promotes ordered 53BP1 oligomerization and is essential for efficient CSR and adaptive immunity in mice, while also contributing to 53BP1-dependent p53 regulation. In addition, we show DYNLL1-53BP1 interplay plays an essential role in mediating toxic NHEJ events in Brca1 mutant cancer cells: deletion of DYNLL1 or its transcriptional regulator ATM substrate Chk2-interacting Zn2+ finger protein (ASCIZ; also known as ATMIN/ZNF822) is strongly selected for in BRCA1-deficient tumour cells, and results in PARPi resistance in vitro and in vivo. Thus, our findings identify an important mechanism in which DYNLL1 directly regulates the fidelity of 53BP1-dependent NHEJ.ResultsDYNLL1 is essential for OD-independent 53BP1 recruitmentThe minimal domain requirements for 53BP1 DSB localization were defined in the context of a 53BP1 fragment encompassing a.a. 1220鈥?71130,31. This fragment spans 53BP1鈥檚 nuclear localization sequence (NLS), OD, tandem-tudor, and ubiquitin-dependent recruitment (UDR) domains, all of which were essential for its recruitment into IRIF8,28. We were therefore surprised that complete deletion of its OD domain (53BP1OD螖) or Ala mutation of four key residues for OD activity (53BP1ODm) only negligibly impacted on 53BP1 IRIF frequencies, despite completely blocking recruitment in the context of truncated 53BP11220鈥?711 proteins (Fig.聽1a). To map the sequences in 53BP1 that mediate OD-independent recruitment, IRIF localization patterns were examined across a panel of truncated 53BP1ODm proteins in which 53BP1 sequences N- and C-terminal to a.a. 1220鈥?711 were restored (Fig.聽1b and Supplementary Fig.聽1a). We found that the addition of 113 residues N-terminal to 53BP11220鈥?711 rescued 53BP1ODm recruitment into IRIF (Fig.聽1b), implicating a.a. 1107鈥?219 in OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment.Fig. 1DYNLL1 promotes OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment to DSB sites. a 53BP1-/- MCF-7 cells stably expressing the indicated 53BP1 transgenes were irradiated (5鈥塆y), fixed 4鈥塰 later, and immunostained with anti-HA (53BP1) and anti-纬H2AX antibodies.

Representative data, n鈥?i>=鈥? independent experimentsFull size imageInterestingly, alanine substitutions at 28 N-terminal [Ser/Thr]-Gln consensus ATM/ATR phosphorylation site motifs in the full-length 53BP1ODm protein recapitulated the effect of a.a. 1107鈥?219 deletion on IRIF recruitment (Fig.聽1b), and suggested that some of these Ser-Gln or Thr-Gln motifs may be involved in the OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment to DSBs. We noted that Thr-1171, one of the three Ser-Gln/Thr-Gln motifs in the region critical for OD-independent IRIF formation (a.a. 1107鈥?219), also serves as a binding site (consensus Thr-Gln-Thr) for the dynein light chain protein DYNLL1 (LC8)32. As DYNLL1 is known to function as a ubiquitous sequence-specific dimerization hub for a plethora of diverse proteins33,34, we considered a role for DYNLL1 in the OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment mechanism. 53BP1 a.a. 1107鈥?219 also contains a second DYNLL1-binding site32, and indeed, alanine substitution of the three anchor residues (GIQ and TQT, respectively) in each of the two DYNLL1-binding site motifs of 53BP1 (53BP1LC8m) completely blocked OD-independent 53BP1 IRIF formation (Fig.聽1c鈥揹). Moreover, we found that DYNLL1 colocalized with 53BP1 in nuclear foci and that this interaction was abolished by the 53BP1LC8m mutations (Supplementary Fig.聽1b). However, the 53BP1LC8m mutation did not interfere with OD-mediated oligomerization in vitro (Supplementary Fig.聽2a), or downstream RIF1 recruitment (Supplementary Fig.聽2b, c). Thus, collectively, these data indicate that direct binding of DYNLL1 to the LC8-binding motifs is critical for the OD-independent recruitment of 53BP1 to DSB sites.To further explore DYNLL1鈥檚 role in modulating 53BP1 functions, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to mutagenize the DYNLL1 gene in 53BP1-/- MCF-7 cell populations stably complemented with wild type (WT) 53BP1 or 53BP1ODm. DYNLL1-depletion in these populations (without selection for stable DYNLL1 knockout clones) caused a near complete block in 53BP1ODm foci formation (Fig.聽1e and Supplementary Fig.聽2d, p鈥?i> 鈥?.0001), and residual 53BP1 IRIF frequencies in these experiments correlated to cells of increased DYNLL1 nuclear staining intensity (Supplementary Fig.聽2e). In contrast, DYNLL1-depletion did not affect the frequencies of WT 53BP1 IRIF when the OD was intact (Fig.聽1e; p鈥?i>=鈥?.1363). These experiments therefore suggested that DYNLL1-dependent binding to the LC8 motifs in 53BP1 promotes 53BP1 oligomerization, explaining the mechanism of OD-independent 53BP1 recruitment to IRIFs.DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions are DNA damage- and cell cycle-independentAs indicated above, one of the two LC8 motifs (LC8 motif 2) in 53BP1 also comprises an ATM/ATR phosphorylation site (Thr-1171, consensus Thr-Gln) that is phosphorylated following IR-treatment35, and a second putative ATM phosphorylation site (Ser-1148) is positioned only 5 a.a. residues upstream of LC8 motif 1. Thus, we considered that 53BP1-DYNLL1 interactions might be DNA damage regulated. To test this, Flag-HA tagged WT 53BP1 and 53BP1LC8m mutant protein complexes were immunoprecipitated from lysates prepared from irradiated and untreated stable cell lines and analyzed for the presence of DYNLL1. In confirmation of a role for the 53BP1 LC8 motifs in mediating DYNLL1 interactions, DYNLL1 co-precipitated with wild type, but not LC8-motif mutant 53BP1 complexes (Fig.聽1f). Notably, DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions were not significantly altered upon IR-treatments (Fig.聽1f), discounting a role for Thr-1171 phosphorylation in regulating DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions. In addition, mutation of Ser-1148, which would be expected to form the N-terminal residue of the fully extended ~8-residue beta-strand interacting with the DYNLL1-binding groove based on known structures for DYNLL1-target complexes36, by itself had only a modest effect on DYNLL1 binding. Mutation of Thr-1171, however, reduced DYNLL1-binding to a greater extent, which was further reduced in concert with the Ser-1148-Ala mutation, albeit not to the same extent as the 53BP1LC8m interaction-blocking mutation in which the entire 3-residue anchor motifs are disabled (Supplementary Fig.聽1c). Moreover, combined alanine substitutions at Thr-1171 and Ser-1148 resulted in the near total loss of OD-independent 53BP1 IRIF (Supplementary Fig.聽1d). The most likely explanation for these results is that mutation of these two phosphorylation site motifs impacts the interaction with DYNLL1 by weakening its binding sites in 53BP1 rather than by impairing their phosphorylation state, reconciling the IRIF recruitment defect of the 53BP1ODm,28A mutant protein (Fig.聽1b).Next, we examined whether DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions might be regulated by cell cycle position. Cell synchronisation experiments confirmed DYNLL1 did not exhibit cell-cycle-dependent fluctuations in expression during interphase (Supplementary Fig.聽3a), or mitosis (Supplementary Fig.聽3b). To determine whether 53BP1 might be regulated by cell-cycle dependent modification of DYNLL1, or otherwise, 53BP1 IRIF were quantified in G1, S and G2 cell-cycle stage classified populations in WT and mutant complemented 53BP1-/- MCF-7 stable cell lines (Supplementary Fig.聽3c). Here, the 53BP1LC8m mutation did not significantly impair foci formation at any cell cycle phase (Supplementary Fig.聽3d). Likewise, 53BP1ODm IRIF frequencies, that rely entirely on DYNLL1-interactions (see Fig.聽1c鈥揻), were equally reduced at all cell cycle phases (Supplementary Fig.聽3d). Collectively, these experiments indicate DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions are likely to be constitutive, and suggested that DYNLL1 might represent an integral component of 53BP1 complexes.53BP1-DYNLL1 interactions are required for class-switch recombinationWe next examined the function of DYNLL1 and DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions during CSR, which relies on 53BP1-mediated NHEJ12,13. DYNLL1 is essential for normal B cell development, and its deletion in the early B cell lineage using Mb1-Cre leads to dramatic losses in circulating and mature splenic B cell populations (Supplementary Fig.聽4a)37. We therefore used transgenic Cd23-Cre driver (Cd23-CreTg) to delete Dynll1 in mature B lymphocytes in Dynll1F/F mice, which supported the development of normal frequencies of mature splenic B cells in which DYNLL1 protein was efficiently depleted (Supplementary Fig.聽4b, c). Cultured Dynll1-deleted B splenocytes upon stimulation with IL-4 and LPS showed a reduction in class-switching to IgG1, and IgG1 switching frequencies in Cd23-CreTg Dynll1F/F cells were consistently reduced by鈥?gt;50% relative to Cd23-CreTg controls in all cell populations that had undergone equivalent numbers of cell divisions (Fig.聽2a, b). This was independently confirmed by Cd23-Cre-mediated deletion of the Asciz gene in mouse mature B cells, which encodes DYNLL1鈥檚 transcriptional regulator ASCIZ (ATMIN)38,39 and resulted in greatly reduced DYNLL1 expression and an equivalent reduction in class-switching efficiency (Supplementary Fig.聽4d, e), consistent with previous results in B cells from Cd19-Cre Asciz-mutant mice40. The fact that CSR defects in Dynll1- and Asciz-deleted B cells could not be explained by the defective expression of Igh switch region germ-line transcripts (Supplementary Fig.聽4f), nor the magnitude of proliferation defects in Dynll1-deleted B cells (Fig.聽2b), was consistent with a role for DYNLL1 and its regulator ASCIZ in the end joining phase of CSR.Fig. 253BP1-dependent class-switch recombination requires DYNLL1. a In vitro CSR to IgG1 in Dynll1F/F Cd23-CreTg and control Cd23-CreTg mature B splenocytes, 96鈥塰 following stimulation with LPS and IL-4.

Statistical analysis by unpaired two-tailed student鈥檚 t-testFull size imageTo exclude the possibility that indirect, 53BP1-independent, consequences of DYNLL1-deletion could account for CSR defects in Dynll1-deficient B cells, we next monitored the effect of LC8 binding site mutations on 53BP1-dependent CSR. LPS/IL-4-induced class-switching to IgG1 was analysed in stimulated 53bp1-/- primary B splenocytes upon reconstitution with retroviruses that express wild type 53BP1, or the 53BP1ODm, 53BP1LC8m, and 53BP1LC8m/ODm mutant proteins, or as a negative control, the NHEJ-defective 53BP1L1619A UDR mutant8 (Fig.聽2c; note that to avoid the inefficient packaging of large 53BP1 inserts in retroviral particles, all rescue constructs express a truncated 53BP1 protein (a.a. 1鈥?711) that supports WT CSR frequencies26). As expected, 53BP11鈥?711 expression rescued class switching in 53bp1-/- B cell cultures, while the repair-deficient 53BP1L1619A mutant could not (Fig.聽2c, d). In contrast, 53BP1LC8m-reconstitution only restored CSR to ~50% of WT (Fig.聽2c, d), a defect consistent in magnitude to Dynll1-deficient B cells, confirming DYNLL1 mediates CSR via its regulation of 53BP1 complexes and their NHEJ activities. As expected26, 53bp1-/- B cells complemented with a mutant OD-domain allele (53BP1ODm) failed to restore CSR to any significant degree (Fig.聽2c, d). Thus, while DYNLL1 can mediate OD-independent 53BP1 DSB recruitment, OD-independent recruitment alone is unable to support NHEJ during CSR, confirming a cooperation between OD- and DYNLL1-dependent oligomerization in the assembly of NHEJ-competent 53BP1 oligomers.DYNLL1 stimulates 53BP1 oligomerization to promote optimal chromatin interactionsTo ascertain why DYNLL1-mediated 53BP1 recruitment alone is insufficient for DNA repair, we investigated DYNLL1鈥檚 contribution to 53BP1-chromatin interaction dynamics at DSB sites. Stable 53BP1-/- MCF-7 cell lines were established that expressed equivalent levels of an mC2 (mClover2)-tagged 53BP1 a.a. 1107鈥?711 fragment, comprising WT (mC2-f53BP1) or mutated versions of the OD (mC2-f53BP1ODm) or LC8 motifs (mC2-f53BP1LC8m). The mobility of each protein in IRIF was then calculated in fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments (Fig.聽3a). Fluorescence recovery of mC2-f53BP1ODm was鈥?gt;3-fold faster than that of WT mC2-f53BP1 protein, as calculated from the half-time for recovery to maximum fluorescence: t1/2鈥?i>=鈥?7.3鈥塻鈥壜扁€?8.12 and 163.25鈥塻鈥壜扁€?6.9, for mC2-f53BP1ODm and mC2-f53BP1 proteins, respectively (Fig.聽3b, c). Thus, DYNLL1-mediated 53BP1 oligomerization alone is insufficient for stable chromatin interaction at DSB sites. These results confirm canonical DYNLL1-independent oligomerization is primarily responsible for 53BP1 interactions with DSB-associated chromatin. To control for variation in fluorescence recovery endpoints between experimental repeats (Fig.聽3d), we analyzed the rate of fluorescence recovery in a manner that, unlike t1/2, was not related to the endpoint. Thus, we computationally modelled the fluorescence recovery data of three independent experiments (each comprising n鈥?gt;鈥? cells per genotype) to calculate the initial rate of fluorescence recovery immediately after photobleaching (Fig.聽3d). Initial rate calculations provide a concentration-independent measurement of fluorescence recovery that is independent of fluorescence recovery endpoint. Consistent with t1/2 measurements, the initial recovery rates of each protein reproduced the trends seen in Fig.聽3b, c, with large, and moderate increases in the recovery rates of mC2-f53BP1ODm and mC2-f53BP1LC8m mutant proteins, respectively, relative to WT mC2-f53BP1 (Fig.聽3e). These data confirmed an important role for DYNLL1 in stabilizing OD-dependent 53BP1-chromatin interactions.Fig. 3Stable 53BP1-chromatin interactions require DYNLL1-dependent and -independent oligomerization modes. a Representative FRAP series.

Molar ratios of DYNLL1:53BP1 from left to right; 1:4, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1. Samples were fractionated by native (8%) or denaturing (12%) PAGE and stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. Data, representative of n鈥?i>=鈥? independent experimentsFull size imageTo determine the mechanism by which DYNLL1 contributes to 53BP1 function, we next probed DYNLL1鈥檚 ability to promote 53BP1 oligomerization in vitro. Thus, purified DYNLL1 was titrated into binding reactions that contained a recombinant monomeric 53BP1 protein fragment encoding the two LC8-binding motifs and a mutated OD domain (a.a. 1131鈥?292). Reactions were then resolved by native PAGE to ascertain DYNLL1鈥檚 ability to stimulate OD-independent 53BP1 oligomerization. In these experiments, increasing DYNLL1 to levels equimolar and above that of the 53BP1 fragment, stimulated its robust oligomerization as determined by a marked increase in higher molecular weight protein complexes (Fig.聽3f). In confirmation of a role for the 53BP1 LC8 binding motifs in mediating the assembly of DYNLL1-bridged 53BP1 oligomers, higher molecular weight complexes did not form when both LC8-binding motifs in the 53BP1 fragment were mutated, and these reactions were characterised by an increased presence of ligand-free DYNLL1 dimers (Fig.聽3f). Taken together, our data indicate that optimal 53BP1 oligomerization is mediated via a cooperation between its OD-domain (Fig.聽1a, b), and the binding of DYNLL1 to its upstream binding sites in 53BP1 (Fig.聽3f). We therefore conclude that the intermolecular affinity afforded by DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions is sufficient to promote 53BP1 oligomerization, yet in isolation is insufficient to efficiently tether 53BP1 complexes to DSB-associated chromatin. We instead propose that DYNLL1 may provide order to large oligomeric 53BP1 complexes, a function required for optimal chromatin interactions and its associated DNA repair function.PARPi hypersensitivity in Brca1-deficient cells requires 53BP1-DYNLL1 cooperationThe fact that DYNLL1-mediated regulation of 53BP1 oligomerization enhances 53BP1-dependent CSR next prompted us to test its importance more broadly in 53BP1-dependent NHEJ. The efficacy of PARPi in killing BRCA1-deficient cells is dependent on 53BP1, and its loss in BRCA1-deficient cell-lines and mice results in resistance to PARPi-induced cell death9,19,20,21. We therefore theorized that reduced efficiency of 53BP1-dependent NHEJ upon DYNLL1 depletion might likewise confer PARPi resistance to BRCA1-deficient cells. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we mutagenized the Dynll1 and Asciz genes in the KB1P-G3 Brca1-/- p53-/- murine mammary tumour cell line20, and monitored locus-specific indels within cell populations by deconvolution of complex Sanger sequencing traces derived from Cas9 cleavage site-spanning PCR amplicons using the Tracking of Indels by Decomposition (TIDE) algorithm41 (Supplementary Fig.聽5a). To determine whether mutation of Dynll1 or Asciz provided a selective advantage in KB1P-G3 cells due to PARPi resistance, the change in percentage of edited alleles between the starting population and the surviving fraction was compared, before, and after, outgrowth in the presence or absence of the PARPi olaparib (Fig.聽4a and Supplementary Fig.聽5a). In all experiments in which the initial indel frequency at the Dynll1 and Asciz loci was below saturation ( 85%) in treatment naive cells, olaparib treatments selected for striking increases in indel frequency (Fig.聽4b and Supplementary Fig.聽5b). These effects were coupled to reductions in DYNLL1 protein levels when compared to untreated controls (Supplementary Fig.聽5c), collectively confirming that both proteins are required for the hypersensitivity of Brca1-deficient cells to PARPi. Cas9-dependent mutagenesis of either gene in KB1P-G3 cells also conferred olaparib resistance in clonogenic survival experiments (Fig.聽4c, d). Importantly, the Olaparib resistance in Asciz-mutated KB1P-G3 cells could be completely reversed by transgene-mediated re-expression of exogenous DYNLL1 (Supplementary Fig.聽6a鈥揷), confirming the importance of ASCIZ-mediated DYNLL1 transcription in the response of BRCA1-deficient cells to PARPi. However, neither selection for CRISPR-Cas9-dependent Dynll1 or Asciz locus editing, nor reduced DYNLL1 expression, was observed when equivalent experiments performed in 53bp1-/- KB1P-G3 cells (Fig.聽4e and Supplementary Fig.聽5d, e), indicating that DYNLL1鈥檚 role in mediating the PARPi sensitivity of Brca1-deficient cells occurs predominantly via its regulation of 53BP1 activities.Fig. 4ASCIZ and DYNLL1 co-regulate 53BP1-dependent olaparib sensitivity in Brca1-deficient cells. a Schematic of experiments to determine olaparib resistance. b Change in the percent of edited alleles for the indicated target genes in KB1P-G3 cells after growth in DMSO or olaparib (75鈥塶M).

ASCIZ and DYNLL1 have previously been shown to have equivalent effects on the development and expansion of Myc-driven cancers37,42, thus we monitored the growth of Cas9-expressing Brca1-/- p53-/- transplanted mouse cancer organoids43 transduced with control or Asciz-targeting gRNA (Supplementary Fig.聽5f, g). Olaparib treatment significantly delayed the onset of tumour growth in transplanted animals relative to an untreated cohort. However, PARPi-dependent inhibition of tumour growth was attenuated in Asciz-edited tumours (Fig.聽4f), and resulted in decreased overall survival relative to control olaparib-treated cohorts (Fig.聽4g). These data demonstrated that regulation of 53BP1 by the ASCIZ-DYNLL1 axis supports the efficacy of olaparib treatments in selectively killing Brca1-deficient cancer cells, confirming the importance of DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions in regulating 53BP1-dependent DNA repair.DYNLL1-binding sites contribute to 53BP1-dependent Nutlin-3 sensitivityIn addition to its role in the DNA damage response, 53BP1 also contributes to p53-dependent transcriptional senescence programs and the corresponding cellular sensitivity to the treatments with MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-322,44. Interestingly, the 53BP1LC8m mutant, in contrast to wild type 53BP122, was compromised in their ability to聽restore the sensitivity of 53BP1-/- MCF-7 to Nutlin-3 (Fig.聽5a鈥揷). This agrees with a model in which DYNLL1 is likely to enforce optimal 53BP1 oligomerization, and is consistent with our published findings in which efficient 53BP1 oligomerization was similarly essential for 53BP1-dependent regulation of p5322.Fig. 5DYNLL1 is required for 53BP1-dependent p53 responses to Nutlin-3. a Immunoblot analysis of the MCF-7 cell lines used in (a) with anti-53BP1 or anti-RPA32 antibodies prior to N3 treatment. b Quantification of n鈥?i>=鈥? independent experiments represented in (a), each performed in triplicate. Mean鈥壜扁€塖D. c Indicated parental or stably complemented 53BP1-/- MCF-7 cell lines were incubated in the presence (11 days) or absence (7 days) of Nutlin-3 (4鈥壜礛)Full size imageDiscussionTaken together, our findings reveal DYNLL1 to be an integral component of oligomeric 53BP1 complexes through which it plays an important role in 53BP1-dependent NHEJ. We speculate that DYNLL1-binding to 53BP1 may provide order to 53BP1 oligomers within chromatin-binding domains, enhancing productive chromatin interactions that enhance effective resection inhibition and enable for efficient NHEJ. Deficiencies in either DYNLL1 or its binding sites in 53BP1, lead to substantial CSR defects. Given that 53BP1 is similarly important for resection inhibition and NHEJ during V(D)J recombination, a loss of which manifests in the defective development of B and T lymphocyte lineages45,46,47, it is plausible that 53BP1-associated V(D)J recombination defects that accompany loss of DYNLL1-53BP1 interactions might contribute to the B cell lineage development defects recently reported in Dynll1-deficient mice37. We also found that DYNLL1 contributes to DNA damage-independent 53BP1 functions in the response to the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3 (Fig.聽5a鈥揷). This agrees with a model in which DYNLL1 enforces optimal 53BP1 oligomerization, and is consistent with our published findings in which efficient 53BP1 oligomerization was similarly essential for 53BP1-dependent regulation of p5322. Our results therefore suggest bivalent oligomerization modes are necessary to coordinate the assembly of 53BP1 molecules into ordered, functionally competent multimeric complexes, insights that will be relevant for understanding other macromolecular complexes organized by DYNLL1 (Fig.聽6). In identifying DYNLL1 and ASCIZ as essential mediators of 53BP1-dependent PARPi sensitivity in Brca1-deficient cancer cells, our findings provide a molecular explanation for the identification of both proteins as PARPi resistance factors in BRCA1-deficient cells in recently published genetic screens48,49, and reveal a previously unanticipated mechanism in which 53BP1 misregulation could lead to PARPi resistance in the clinic.Fig. 6DYNLL1 and the OD mediate a bivalent mode of 53BP1 oligomerization. 53BP1 localisation and function is dependent upon bivalent OD- and DYNLL1-mediated modes of oligomerization (top, left). OD-mediated oligomerization alone is sufficient for chromatin binding but results in severe DSB repair defects (top, right). DYNLL1-mediated oligomerization is also sufficient to support recruitment of 53BP1 to damage sites, but does not support DNA repair (bottom, left). Loss of both OD and DYNLL1-mediated modes of oligomerization eliminates 53BP1 recruitment to DNA damage sites and all associated repair functions (bottom, right)Full size imageMethodsCell lines and culture conditionsCell lines used in this study are MCF-7 female human breast adenocarcinoma, RPE-1 female human retinal pigment epithelial, human female embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells (including the BOSC23 derivative cell line), and KB1P-G3 Brca1-/- p53-/- cells which were isolated from a female mouse mammary tumour. All cell lines were checked for mycoplasma contamination. KB1P-G3 and the KB1P-G3 53bp1-/- derivative were both kindly provided by Sven Rottenberg (NKI, Netherlands and University of Bern). All cell lines were cultured in DMEM鈥攈igh glucose (D6546, Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS, Pen-Strep, and 2 mM L-glutamine. Cultures were grown at 37鈥壜癈 with 5% CO2. KB1-P3 (G3) and all derivative cells lines were additionally grown in 3% oxygen. Primary B cells were isolated from red blood cell-lysed single-cell suspensions of 53bp1-/- C57BL/6J mouse spleens and cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100鈥塶g/ml streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1x MEM nonessential amino acids, 1鈥塵M sodium pyruvate and 50鈥壩糓 尾-mercaptoethanol.Mouse modelsMice harbouring conditional Dynll1 or Asciz alleles (MGI ID: 5755433 and 5463697, respectively) were intercrossed with Cd23-Cre transgenic mice (MGI ID: 3803652) to generate Cd23-CreTg Dynll1F/F and Cd23-CreTg AscizF/F experimental and Cd23-CreTg control animals. Mouse breeding and tissue collection was performed according to the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes, 8th Edition (2013), and approved by the St. Vincent鈥檚 Hospital Melbourne Animal Ethics Committee, approval number 002/17. 53bp1-/- C57BL/6J mouse breeding and tissue collection was carried out according to the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act (ASPA) under a Home Office project license to JRC.Gene editing and complementationCRISPR-Cas9 editing was carried out with gene-specific gRNAs integrated into a version of lentiCRISPR v2 (Addgene #52961) modified for blasticidin (lentiCRISPR-Bsr) resistance. Lentivirus was generated by co-transfection of lentiCRISPR-Bsr, pHDM-tat1b, pHDM-G, pRC/CMV-rev1b, and pHDM-Hgpm2 into HEK 293T cells using 1.29鈥壩糶 polyethylenimine per 1鈥壩糶 DNA in Opti-MEM (Thermo Fisher, 31985062). Viral supernatants were harvested at 48 and 72鈥塰 and passed through a 0.45-渭m syringe filter. Two rounds of viral transduction were carried out on target cell populations in the presence of 4鈥壩糶/ml polybrene before selection in 10鈥壩糶/ml blasticidin. Once all cells in a non-transduced control population had died, the CRISPR population was removed from blasticidin selection. Stable transgene expression was similarly achieved by two rounds of lentiviral transduction with viral supernatants generated using the same procedure.ImmunofluorescenceFor analysis of fixed samples, cells were seeded (1.5鈥壝椻€?05) on glass coverslips (13鈥塵m) in six-well plates 2 days before irradiation. IRIF formation was induced with 纬-irradiation (5鈥塆y) and cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde after 4鈥塰 recovery. Fixed cells were rinsed with PBS and then permeabilized in a 0.2% Triton X-100 PBS solution. After 15鈥塵in of blocking (3% BSA, 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS) coverslips were incubated 1鈥塰 in a humidity chamber with primary antibodies diluted in blocking solution. The following primary antibodies were utilized at the indicated concentrations: mouse anti-HA (1:200, HA.11 Biolegend), rabbit anti-纬-H2AX (1:500, Epitomics), rabbit anti-Cyclin A (1:200, Santa Cruz sc-751), rabbit anti-DYNLL1 (1:250, AbCam Ab51603). The coverslips were rinsed three times with PBS containing 0.1% TX-100 and then incubated 1鈥塰 in a humidity chamber with secondary antibody. The following secondary antibodies were utilized at the indicated concentrations: goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500, Invitrogen A-11001), goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 568 (1:500, Invitrogen A-11011). Coverslips were then washed three times in PBS containing 0.1% TX-100, once in PBS, and mounted on glass microscope slides using ProLong庐 Gold antifade reagent with DAPI (Life Technologies, P36935).In experiments involving EdU incorporation, cultures were pulsed with 40鈥壩糓 EdU for 10鈥塵in immediately preceding irradiation. After fixation, EdU was labelled using the Click-iT鈩?EdU Alexa Fluor 647 Imaging Kit (Thermo Fisher, C10340) according to the manufacturer鈥檚 protocol. This was done immediately prior to antibody staining as described above.Images for the initial mapping of the LC8 domain within the 53BP1 N-terminus (Fig.聽1) were acquired on a Zeiss LSM510 META confocal imaging system (Fig.聽1). RIF1 IRIF (Supplementary Fig.聽2b, 2c) were analyzed on a Leica SP8 SMD X confocal microscope. All other fixed IRIF images were acquired on an Olympus Epi-fluorescence MMI CellEctor widefield microscope. Quantitative analysis of IRIF number and staining intensity was performed using Cell Profiler (Broad Institute). All image visualization and processing was done using Fiji.Olaparib sensitivity assaysKB1P-G3 and KB1P-G3 53bp1-/- cells were subjected to two rounds of lentiviral transduction with viral supernatant generated using lentiCRISPR-Bsr. After selection in blasticidin (10鈥壩糶/ml), samples were collected to isolate genomic DNA (gDNA) immediately prior to seeding for olaparib sensitivity. Blasticidin-resistant populations were seeded in six-well plates at a density of 104 cells per well (5鈥壝椻€?03 for the KB1P-G3 53bp1-/- derivative) in the presence of olaparib or DMSO and grown at 37鈥壜癈 (5% CO2 and 3% O2). Medium was refreshed at 4 days and 8 days. After 10 days outgrowth, cultures were expanded in fresh medium for 1 week in 6鈥塩m dishes before harvesting gDNA. PCR fragments encompassing the CRISPR cut site were amplified from gDNA using Q5 polymerase (NEB, M0491), sequenced (GATC Biotech), and analyzed by Tracking of Indels by Decomposition (TIDE: https://tide.deskgen.com/). Surviving cells were collected and three replicates were plated in DMSO and three in olaparib for viability analysis. DMSO and olaparib-treated cells were stained with crystal violet (0.5% (w/v) crystal violet in 25% methanol) after 8 days and 10 days growth (37鈥壜癈, 5% CO2 and 3% O2), respectively. Crystal violet stained cells were dissolved in a 10% (v/v) acetic acid solution a minimum of 24鈥塰 after staining and the OD595 was measured as a quantitative metric of relative growth.Nutlin-3 sensitivity assayCells were seeded in triplicate at a density of 1.25鈥壝椻€?04 per well in a six-well plate in the presence (11 days growth) or absence (7 days growth) of Nutlin-3 (4鈥壩糓, Cayman Chemicals, added 16鈥塰 after seeding). Cells were stained with crystal violet and quantified as described for olaparib sensitivity assays. These experiments were performed in triplicate.Protein extraction and western blottingProtein extracts were prepared in ice cold benzonase cell lysis buffer (40鈥塵M NaCl, 25鈥塵M Tris pH 8.0, 0.05% SDS, 2鈥塵M MgCl2, 10鈥塙/ml benzonase, and cOmplete鈩?protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, 04693159001). Briefly, cells were harvested and washed once in ice cold PBS before resuspending in lysis buffer. After 10鈥塵in incubation on ice, protein concentration was calculated by Bradford (Bio-Rad, 500-0006) assay with reference to a standard curve generated with BSA. Extracts were mixed with 3X Laemmli buffer and heated at 95鈥壜癈 for 5鈥塵in.Extracts were fractionated on pre-cast NuPAGE鈩?4鈥?2% 1.0鈥塵m Bis-Tris polyacrylamide gels (Life Technologies, NP0322) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking with 5% milk and washing in PBST, membranes were incubated overnight in primary antibody. Primary antibodies used in this study are: anti-53BP1 (Novus Biological, NB100-304, 1:2500), anti-DYNLL1 (Abcam, ab51603, 1:1000), anti-伪-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich, TAT-1, 1:10000), anti-Cyclin A (Santa Cruz, sc53227, 1:1000), anti-HA (BioLegend, 501901, 1:2000), and anti-RPA32 (Abcam, ab16855, 1:1000), anti-尾-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A1978, 1:2000). Membranes were then probed with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse (Thermo Fisher, 62-6520) or goat anti-rabbit (Thermo Fisher, 65-6120) secondary antibodies for 1鈥塰 (1:20000). The membranes were then developed using Clarity鈩?Western ECL Substrate (Bio-Rad, 170-5061) and visualized on a Gel Doc鈩?XR System (Bio-Rad).Class switch recombinationB cells were purified from red blood cell-lysed single-cell suspensions of 8鈥?6-week-old 53bp1-/- C57BL/6鈥塉 mouse spleens by magnetic negative selection using a B Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-090-862). No controls were employed for gender and randomization methods were not used to allocate animals to control and experimental groups. B cells (7.5鈥壝椻€?05 per well in a six-well plate) were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS, 100鈥塙/ml penicillin, 100鈥塶g/ml streptomycin, 2鈥塵M L-glutamine, 1x MEM nonessential amino acids, 1鈥塵M sodium pyruvate and 50鈥壩糓 尾-mercaptoethanol. B cells were stimulated with 5鈥壩糶/ml LPS (Sigma, L7770-1MG) and 10鈥塶g/ml mouse recombinant IL-4 (Peprotech, 214-14-20). Cultures were grown at 37鈥壜癈 with 5% CO2 under ambient oxygen conditions.Retroviral supernatants were collected 48鈥塰 after co-transfection of BOSC23 cells with 7鈥壩糶 pCL-Eco and 7鈥壩糶 pMX-IRES-GFP-derived plasmids (both kindly provided by A. Nussenzweig) containing cloned transgene inserts in the presence of FuGENE 6 (Promega, E2691). Viral supernatants were passed through a 0.45鈥壩糾 syringe filter. One round of viral transduction was carried out on B cells 24鈥塰 after stimulation in the presence of 2.5鈥壩糶/ml polybrene, 20鈥塵M HEPES, 5鈥壩糶/ml LPS and 10鈥塶g/ml mouse recombinant IL-4. B cells underwent spinoculation at 850脳g for 90鈥塵in at 30鈥壜癈. After a rest period of 4 to 6鈥塰, the viral supernatants were removed, and supplemented RPMI was added to the cells.Three days after transduction, infected B cells were analysed for the percentage of GFP and IgG1 double-positive cells using a FACSCanto (Becton Dickinson); analysis was performed using FlowJo v10. Cells were resuspended in PBS with 2% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide, blocked with Mouse BD Fc Block鈩?(1:500, BD Pharmingen 553141), and immunostained with biotinylated rat anti-mouse IgG1 (1:100, BD Pharmingen 553441), and Streptavidin APC (1:500, eBioscience 17-4317-82). Live/dead cells were discriminated after staining with Zombie Aqua viability dye (1:200, BioLegend 423102).For CSR analyses of Cd23-CreTg Dynll1F/F and Cd23-CreTg AscizF/F mice, experiments were performed as above except that purified B cells were activated with 10鈥壜礸/ml LPS (Invivogen, tlrl-3pelps) and 1:100-diluted conditioned murine IL-4 supernatant (kind gift of Andreas Strasser, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Melbourne) for 4 days, and then stained with CellTrace Violet (Thermo Fisher Scientific, C34557) and rat anti-mouse IgG1-APC (BD Pharmingen, 550874).To analyse the transcription of Igh germline transcripts, 3鈥壝椻€?06 MACS-purified B cells from Cd23-CreTg, Cd23-CreTg AscizF/F, or Cd23-CreTg Dynll1F/F mice were cultured with LPS (15鈥壜礸/mL) and IL-4 (1/100) for 0 to 3 days. After treatment, cells were washed once with ice-cold PBS and cell pellets were snap frozen on dry ice and stored at 鈭?0鈥壜癈 before RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted by using ISOLATE II RNA Micro Kit (Bioline BIO-52075) following the manufacturer鈥檚 protocol. 300鈥塶g purified RNA was subjected to reverse transcription with oligo(dT) and random primers using the SuperScript庐 III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen鈩?18080-051). qPCR reagents were mixed as follows: 4鈥壜祃 cDNA (6鈥塶g), 0.5鈥壜祃 Primer mix (300鈥塶M each), 5鈥壜祃 SYBR鈩?Select Master Mix (Applied Biosystems鈩?4472908), 0.5鈥壜祃 RNAase/DNAase free water. qPCR conditions were set as follows: 1 cycle (10鈥塵in at 95鈥壜癈), 45 cycles (15鈥塻 at 95鈥壜癈), 60鈥塻 at 60鈥壜癈.After each PCR run, a disassociation curve program was added to validate the primer specificity. The standard curve method of comparative quantification was employed to quantify the results50. Results for the I纬1-C纬1 germline transcript were normalized to the Cd79b input control, and expressed as percentage of maximum expression. Primer sequences were the same as previously used51: Cd79b_forward (5使-TGTTGGAATCTGCAAATGGA-3使), Cd79b_reverse (5使-TAGGCTTTGGGTGATCCTTG-3使), I纬1-C纬1_forw (5使-TCGAGAAGCCTGAGGAATGTG-3使), I纬1-C纬1_rev (5使-GGATCCAGAGTTCCAGGTCACT-3使).ImmunoprecipitationOne day before transfection, 4.5鈥壝椻€?06 HEK 293T cells were seeded in antibiotic-free DMEM in a 10鈥塩m plate for each condition. 24鈥塰 after plating, cultures were transfected with 10鈥壩糶 53BP1 pLV-EF1伪-FLAG-HA Puro or 53BP1LC8m pLV-EF1伪-FLAG-HA Puro using polyethylenimine. 24鈥塰 after transfection, each culture was trypsinized and re-plated in 2鈥壝椻€?0鈥塩m plates. After 24鈥塰, one plate was X-ray irradiated (10鈥塆y) and both (irradiated and non-irradiated control) were harvested 1鈥塰 after irradiation. Cells were lysed in benzonase-containing lysis buffer (20鈥塵M HEPES [pH 7.9], 40鈥塵M KCl, 2鈥塵M MgCl2, 10% glycerol, 0.5% NP40, 0.05% [v/v] phosphatase inhibitor cocktails 2 and 3 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1X protease inhibitor (Roche), and benzonase [50鈥塙/ml]) on ice for 10鈥塵in. KCl was adjusted to a final concentration of 450鈥塵M and rotated at 4鈥壜癈 for 30鈥塵in before clarification. Clarified lysates were diluted to a final salt concentration of 150鈥塵M KCl with No-salt equilibration buffer (20鈥塵M HEPES [pH 7.9], 0.5鈥塵M DTT, 0.05% [v/v] phosphatase inhibitor cocktails 2 and 3 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1X protease inhibitor (Roche)) and 2鈥塵g of protein was incubated with anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads for 2鈥塰. Bead-substrate complexes were washed five times in wash buffer (20鈥塵M HEPES [pH 7.9], 100鈥塵M KCl, 0.5鈥塵M DTT, 1X protease inhibitor (Roche)) at 4鈥壜癈 before elution with 3x FLAG peptide (150鈥塵M NaCl, 0.05% Tween, 150鈥塶g/渭l FLAG peptide (Sigma-Aldrich)). Eluates were boiled with Laemmli buffer and fractionated by SDS-PAGE.FRAP53BP1-/- MCF-7 cells were stably transduced with an mClover2-tagged fragment of 53BP1 encompassing amino acids 1107鈥?711 of the wild type protein. Two days before FRAP, 2.5鈥壝椻€?05 cells were seeded on a 35鈥塵m glass-bottom plate. Cells were irradiated (5鈥塆y) with an X-ray source to induce IRIF formation 2鈥塰 before imaging. Individual foci were selected and 10 prebleach images were acquired prior to a single bleach pulse with an Argon laser at a laser transmission of 100%. Immediately after bleaching, 120 images were acquired in 5鈥塻 intervals at 0.5% laser intensity. All acquisition files were processed in ImageJ with the Stackreg plugin to account for nuclear migration in the recovery period. Regions of interest encompassing the bleached area, the entire nuclei and a section of background were selected and mean intensity values were quantified for each in ImageJ. These values were then normalized and fitted using the easyFRAP software52. All acquisitions were performed on a Leica SP8 SMD X confocal microscope.Initial rate values were calculated based on curve of best fit generated in MATLAB according to the following equation.$$Fleft( x right) = a ^ast {mathrm{exp}}left( {b ^ast x} right) + c ^ast {mathrm{exp}}left( {d ^ast x} right)$$Curves of best fit were generated with the following coefficient values (with 95% confidence bounds), mC2-f53BP1: a鈥?鈥?.3191 (0.3083, 0.33), b鈥?鈥?.0006296 (0.0005654, 0.0006938), c鈥?鈥夆垝0.3105 (鈭?.32, 鈭?.301), d鈥?i>=鈥夆垝0.009148 (鈭?.009856, 鈭?.00844), goodness of fit, SSE鈥?鈥?.00501, R-square鈥?鈥?.9964, adjusted R-square鈥?鈥?.9963, RMSE鈥?鈥?.006572; mC2-f53BP1ODm: a鈥?鈥?.4695 (0.463, 0.4759), b鈥?鈥?.000618 (0.0005858, 0.0006501), c鈥?鈥夆垝0.5312 (鈭?.5555, 鈭?.5069), d鈥?鈥夆垝0.02533 (鈭?.02711, 鈭?.02355), goodness of fit, SSE鈥?鈥?.01578, R-square鈥?鈥?.9909, adjusted R-square鈥?鈥?.9906, RMSE鈥?鈥?.01167; mC2-f53BP1LC8m: a鈥?鈥?.4598 (0.4451, 0.4745), b鈥?鈥?.0004644 (0.0004064, 0.0005225), c鈥?鈥夆垝0.4654 (鈭?.4778, 鈭?.4531), d鈥?鈥夆垝0.008194 (鈭?.008687, 鈭?.007701), SSE鈥?鈥?.00528, R-square鈥?鈥?.9979, adjusted R-square鈥?鈥?.9979, RMSE鈥?鈥?.006747. Rates for x鈥?鈥?0鈥塻 are presented in Fig.聽3e.Expression and purification of 53BP1Smt3-His6-tagged fragments (amino acids 1131鈥?292) of wild type (LC8-OD), OD-mutated (ODm-LC8), LC8-mutated (OD-LC8m), double mutant (LC8m-ODm) 53BP1, and DYNLL1 were expressed from pET-17b in E. coli BL21(DE3). Cells were lysed by sonication in 20鈥塵M HEPES pH 7.5, 250鈥塵M NaCl, and 0.25鈥塵M TCEP. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation and the supernatant was applied to a TALON IMAC column (Supplementary Fig.聽2a) or Ni-NTA agarose beads (Fig.聽3f). Bound complexes were washed with 20鈥塵M HEPES pH 7.5, 250鈥塵M NaCl, 0.25鈥塵M TCEP, supplemented with 10鈥塵M imidazole and then eluted by increasing the imidazole concentration to 250鈥塵M. Equal concentrations of eluate were then fractionated over a Superdex S200 column (Supplementary Fig.聽2a).In vivo tumourigenesis studiesAll animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of The Netherlands Cancer Institute (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and performed in accordance with the Dutch Act on Animal Experimentation (November 2014). KB1P4 tumour organoids were established previously and cultured in AdDMEM/F12 supplemented with 1鈥塎 HEPES (Sigma), GlutaMAX (Invitrogen), penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), B27 (Gibco), 125鈥壩糓 N-acetyl-L-cysteine (Sigma), 50鈥塶g/mL murine epidermal growth factor (Invitrogen) (Duarte et al.43). Tumour organoid transduction was performed by spinoculation with pLentiCRISPRv2 lentiviral constructs in which either no gRNA or a gRNA targeting ASCIZ was cloned. Following puromycin selection, modified organoids were collected, incubated with TripLE at 37鈥壜癈 for 5使, dissociated into single cells, washed in PBS, resuspended in tumour organoid medium and mixed in a 1:1 ratio of tumour organoid suspension and BME in a cell concentration of 104 cells per 40鈥壩糽. Subsequently, 104 cells were transplanted in the fourth right mammary fat pad of 6鈥?-week-old female NMRI nude mice. Mammary tumour size was measured by caliper measurements and tumour volume was calculated (0.5 鈥壝椻€塴ength鈥壝椻€墂idth2). Treatment of tumour bearing mice was initiated when tumours reached a size of 50鈥?00鈥塵m3, at which point mice were stratified into the untreated (n鈥?鈥?) or olaparib treatment group (n鈥?鈥?). Olaparib was administered at 100鈥塵g/kg intraperitoneally for 80 consecutive days. Animals were sacrificed with CO2 when the tumour reached a volume of 1500鈥塵m3. Sample sizes were not pre-determined and no blinding or randomization was employed during analysis.Quantification and statistical analysisPrism 6 (GraphPad Software Inc.) was used for statistical analysis and production of all graphs and dot plots. The relevant statistical methods and measures of significance for each experiment are detailed in the figure legends. Cell Profiler (Broad Institute) was used for automated quantitation of immunofluorescence data. Normalization of FRAP recovery curves was performed using the easyFRAP software and curves of best fit were generated in MATLAB.
