Abstract
- RNA methylation, especially 6-methyladenosine (m<superscript>6</superscript>A)-modified RNAs, plays a specific role in DNA damage response (DDR). Here, we also observe that RNA modified at 8-methyladenosine (m<superscript>8</superscript>A) is recruited to UVAdamaged chromatin immediately after microirradiation. Interestingly, the level of m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNA at genomic lesions was reduced after inhibition of histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. It appears in later phases of DNA damage response, accompanied by active DNA demethylation. Also, PARP inhibitor (PARPi), Olaparib, prevented adenosine methylation at microirradiated chromatin. PARPi abrogated not only m<superscript>6</superscript>A and m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNA positivity at genomic lesions, but also XRCC1, the factor of base excision repair (BER), did not recognize lesions in DNA. To this effect, Olaparib enhanced the genome-wide level of ⓿H2AX. This histone modification interacted with m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNAs to a similar extent as m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNAs with DNA. Pronounced interaction properties we did not observe for m<superscript>6</superscript>A RNAs and DNA; however, m<superscript>6</superscript>A RNA interacted with XRCC1 with the highest efficiency, especially in microirradiated cells. Together, we show that the recruitment of m<superscript>6</superscript>A RNA and m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNA to DNA lesions is PARP dependent. We suggest that modified RNAs likely play a role in the BER mechanism accompanied by active DNA demethylation. In this process, ⓿H2AX stabilizes m<superscript>6</superscript>A/m<superscript>8</superscript>A-positive RNA-DNA hybrid loops via its interaction with m<superscript>8</superscript>A RNAs. R-loops could represent basic three-stranded structures recognized by PARP-dependent non-canonical m<superscript>6</superscript>A/m<superscript>8</superscript>A-mediated DNA repair pathway.
