Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) eliminates highly-genotoxic solar UV-induced DNA photoproducts that otherwise stimulate malignant melanoma development. Here, a genome-wide loss-of-function screen, coupling CRISPR/Cas9 technology with a flow cytometry-based DNA repair assay, was used to identify novel genes required for efficient NER in primary human fibroblasts. Interestingly, the screen revealed multiple genes encoding proteins, with no previously known involvement in UV damage repair, that significantly modulate NER uniquely during S phase of the cell cycle. Among these, we further characterized Dyrk1A, a dual specificity kinase that phosphorylates the proto-oncoprotein cyclin D1 on threonine 286 (T286), thereby stimulating its timely cytoplasmic relocalization and proteasomal degradation which is required for proper regulation of the G1-S phase transition and control of cellular proliferation. We demonstrate that in UV-irradiated HeLa cells, depletion of Dyrk1A leading to overexpression of cyclin D1 causes inhibition of NER uniquely during S phase and reduced cell survival. Consistently, expression/nuclear accumulation of nonphosphorylatable cyclin D1 (T286A) in melanoma cells strongly interferes with S phase NER and enhances cytotoxicity post-UV. Moreover, the negative impact of cyclin D1 (T286A) overexpression on repair is independent of cyclin-dependent kinase activity but requires cyclin D1-dependent upregulation of p21 expression. Our data indicate that inhibition of NER during S phase might represent a previously unappreciated non-canonical mechanism by which oncogenic cyclin D1 fosters melanomagenesis.

Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality and results from depleted levels of functional survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein by either deletion or mutation of the SMN1 gene. SMN is characterized by a central TUDOR domain, which mediates the association of SMN with arginine methylated (Rme) partners, such as coilin, fibrillarin, and RNA pol II (RNA polymerase II). Herein, we biochemically demonstrate that SMN also associates with histone H3 monomethylated on lysine 79 (H3K79me1), defining SMN as not only the first protein known to associate with the H3K79me1 histone modification but also the first histone mark reader to recognize both methylated arginine and lysine residues. Mutational analyzes provide evidence that SMNTUDOR associates with H3 via an aromatic cage. Importantly, most SMNTUDOR mutants found in spinal muscular atrophy patients fail to associate with H3K79me1.

Abstract
Helix-destabilizing DNA lesions induced by environmental mutagens such as UV light cause genomic instability by strongly blocking the progression of DNA replication forks (RFs). At blocked RF, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulates and is rapidly bound by Replication Protein A (RPA) complexes. Such stretches of RPA-ssDNA constitute platforms for recruitment/activation of critical factors that promote DNA synthesis restart. However, during periods of severe replicative stress, RPA availability may become limiting due to inordinate sequestration of this multifunctional complex on ssDNA, thereby negatively impacting multiple vital RPA-dependent processes. Here, we performed a genome-wide screen to identify factors that restrict the accumulation of RPA-ssDNA during UV-induced replicative stress. While this approach revealed some expected "hits" acting in pathways such as nucleotide excision repair, translesion DNA synthesis, and the intra-S phase checkpoint, it also identified SCAI, whose role in the replicative stress response was previously unappreciated. Upon UV exposure, SCAI knock-down caused elevated accumulation of RPA-ssDNA during S phase, accompanied by reduced cell survival and compromised RF progression. These effects were independent of the previously reported role of SCAI in 53BP1-dependent DNA double-strand break repair. We also found that SCAI is recruited to UV-damaged chromatin and that its depletion promotes nascent DNA degradation at stalled RF. Finally, we (i) provide evidence that EXO1 is the major nuclease underlying ssDNA formation and DNA replication defects in SCAI knockout cells and, consistent with this, (ii) demonstrate that SCAI inhibits EXO1 activity on a ssDNA gap in vitro. Taken together, our data establish SCAI as a novel regulator of the UV-induced replicative stress response in human cells.
