Abstract

- The genetic information of eukaryotic cells is packaged inside the nucleus as chromatin. This packaging restricts access to the DNA and therefore represents a barrier for processes such as DNA replication, repair, and gene expression. Specialized enzymes, termed ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers (remodelers), are involved in regulating the chromatin landscape by repositioning, ejecting, and altering the composition of nucleosomes, the smallest building blocks of chromatin. Remodelers are tightly regulated by post-translational modifications, nucleosomal features, as well as by their own domains and subunits. Dysregulation of remodeling activity has been implicated in severe disease states such as various types of cancer.ALC1/CHD1L (Amplified in Liver Cancer 1/Chromodomain-Helicase-DNA-binding protein 1-Like) is an oncogenic remodeler involved in DNA damage repair. This thesis investigates the molecular basis of ALC1 regulation, the role of the nucleosome and its features in ALC1 activation, as well as the role of this remodeler in DNA damage repair. The results presented in this thesis show that, without DNA damage, the catalytic domain of ALC1 adopts an inactive conformation that is stabilized through a conserved electrostatic interface with the macro domain of ALC1. Upon DNA damage, the binding of PAR chains to the macro domain displaces it from the ATPase motor of ALC1, thereby priming the remodeler for activation. Full activation additionally requires the interaction between a regulatory segment in the linker region of ALC1 and the nucleosome acidic patch. This interaction tethers the remodeler to the nucleosome and is required for coupling ATP hydrolysis to nucleosome remodeling. Additionally, investigations of ALC1 in vivo showed that the loss of ALC1 sensitizes cells to PARP inhibitors and is synthetic lethal with homologous recombination deficiency. This makes ALC1 a possible target for therapeutic drugs in combination with PARP inhibitors for cancers that are deficient in homologous recombination.
