Project description:The cohesin protein complex is well known for playing a role in chromosome segregation. However, it has additional less understood roles in transcription, DNA repair, and chromosome condensation. Mutants in two yeast orthologues (Eco1 and Scc2) of human cohesinopathy disease alleles were examined by transcriptional profiling in response to perturbation of the transcriptional program by amino acid starvation.

Project description:Eco1 is an acetyltransferase subunit of the cohesin complex and acts during DNA replication to establish cohesion between sister chromatids. However, cohesin has additional functions in gene expression, DNA damage repair, and higher-order organization of chromosomes. The eco1 mutant W216G disrupts acetyltansferase activity, and causes genome-wide transcriptional defects which can be suppressed by deletion of FOB1, a gene also involved in DNA replication. This experiment investigates gene expression differences between the eco1-W216G mutant, and mutants in FOB1, and RAD61 a gene involved in inhibition of cohesion establishment but mutation of which is able to suppress temperature sensitivity of the eco1-W216G mutant. Wt and mutant strains of yeast were grown to mid log phase in liquid culture in triplicate and harvested for comparison on Affymetrix microarrays. The following strains were compared: 1) eco1-W216G, 2) eco1-W216G fob1Δ, 3) eco1-W216G rad61Δ, 4) fob1Δ, 5) rad61Δ, and 6) WT.

Project description:The evolutionarily conserved cohesin complex is crucial for holding sister chromatids together from the time of DNA replication until their segregation during the metaphase to anaphase transition. Human diseases associated with with mutations in the cohesin network are termed "cohesinopathies". Scc2 is required for loading cohesin onto DNA prior to DNA replication. Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), a developmental disorder characterized by growth and intellectual impairment is caused by mutations in Scc2. How mutations in Scc2 gives rise to these developmental defects is currently unknown, as overt defects in chromosome segregation are not observed in CdLS patients.This has led to the hypothesis that developmental disorders in CdLS patients are a result of dysregulated gene expression. To examine the transcriptional program of Scc2 mutants called scc2-4, RNA sequencing was performed. Analysis of gene expression program shows upregulation of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and downregulation of genes needed for oxidative phosphorylation. Studies are currently underway to investigate how scc2-4 mutation causes gene misregulation. The answer(s) could provide insight into the molecular etiology of CdLS.

Project description:Eco1 is the acetyltransferase that establishes sister-chromatid cohesion during DNA replication. Budding yeast with an eco1 mutation that genocopies Roberts syndrome displaysreduced ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription and a transcriptional signature of starvation. Weshow that deleting FOB1, a gene encoding a specific replication fork blocking protein for therDNA region, rescues rRNA production and partially rescues transcription genome-wide. This experiment examines the effect of eco1 mutation on replication genome-wide. Furtherstudies show that deletion of FOB1 corrects the genome-wide replication defects, nucleolarstructure, and rDNA segregation in an eco1 mutant. Our study highlights cohesin's central role atthe rDNA for global control of DNA replication and gene expression. DNA content in eco1-W216G mutant and wt yeast is measured in duplicate by sequencing at 0, 20, and 40 minutes following release from G1 arrest.

Project description:Centromeres in budding yeast are surrounded by ~10-kb DNA loops generated by the cohesin complex. These peri-centromeric loops are shown to play a role in faithful chromosome segregation. It remains not fully understood how the dynamics of the peri-centromeric loops are controlled. Here we found that gene deletion of two cohesin regulators, Wpl1 and Eco1, resulted in larger peri-centromeric loops that connected the centromeres and genome regions up to ~ 300 kb distant in G2/M-arrested cells. Deletion of Wpl1 and Eco1 synergistically contributed to the loop size enlargement. ChIP-seq revealed that cohesin and its ATPase activator, Scc2, were colocalized at the anchor sites of the extended peri-centromeric loops, specifically in the double-deletion mutant Δwpl1 Δeco1. Consistently, acute depletion of Scc2 in the G2/M phase resulted in the disappearance of the extended loops. Given that Scc2 is bound prominently only at the centromeres in wild-type cells, our results suggest that Wpl1 and Eco1 jointly promote the dissociation of Scc2 from cohesin and inhibit excessive expansion of peri-centromeric DNA loop size. Notably, we found that nuclear division after benomyl block and release was significantly delayed in the Δwpl1 Δeco1 double-deletion mutant, and this delay was rescued by Scc2 depletion in the G2/M phase. This indicates that cohesin regulators cooperatively regulate the size of the peri-centromeric DNA loops to ensure faithful chromosome segregation.

Project description:Sister chromatid cohesion conferred by entrapment of sister DNAs within a tripartite ring formed between cohesinâs Scc1, Smc1, and Smc3 subunits is generated during S and eventually destroyed at anaphase through cleavage of Scc1 by separase. Throughout the cell cycle, cohesinâs association with chromosomes is controlled by opposing activities: loading by the Scc2/4 complex and release by a separase independent releasing activity. Co-entrapment of sister DNAs during replication is accompanied by acetylation of Smc3 by Eco1, which blocks releasing activity and ensures that sisters remain stably connected. Because fusion of Smc3 to Scc1 prevents release and bypasses the requirement for Eco1, we suggested that release is mediated by disengagement of the Smc3/Scc1 interface. We now show that all mutations capable of bypassing Eco1, be they in cohesinâs Smc1, Smc3, Scc1,Wapl, Pds5, or Scc3 subunits, greatly reduce dissociation of N-terminal cleavage fragments of Scc1 (NScc1) from Smc3. We show that this process involves interaction between Smc ATPase heads and is inhibited by Smc3 acetylation Effect of mutations QQ and EQ in Smc3 on cohesin loading onto chromosomes

Project description:Cohesin stably holds together the sister chromatids from S phase until mitosis. To do so, cohesin must be protected against its cellular antagonist Wapl. Eco1 acetylates cohesinâs Smc3 subunit, which locks together the sister DNAs. We used yeast genetics to dissect how Wapl drives cohesin from chromatin and identified mutants of cohesin that are impaired in ATPase activity but remarkably confer robust cohesion that bypasses the need for the cohesin protectors Eco1 in yeast and Sororin in human cells. We uncover an unexpected functional asymmetry within the heart of cohesinâs highly conserved ABC-like ATPase machinery and show that an activity associated with one of cohesinâs two ATPase sites drives DNA release from cohesin rings. This key mechanism is conserved from yeast to humans. We propose that Eco1 locks cohesin rings around the sister chromatids by counteracting an asymmetric cohesin-associated ATPase activity.

Project description:The functions of cohesin are central to genome integrity, chromosome organization, and transcription regulation through its prevention of premature sister-chromatid separation and the formation of DNA loops. The loading of cohesin onto chromatin depends on the Scc2-Scc4 complex, however, little is known about how it stimulates the cohesin loading activity. Here we determine the large “hook” structure of Scc2 responsible for catalyzing cohesin loading. We identify key Scc2 surfaces that are crucial for DNA binding and for cohesin loading in vivo. Using previously determined structures and modeling, we derive a pseudo-atomic structure of the full-length Scc2-Scc4 complex. Finally, our crosslinking and electron microscopy analyses reveal that Scc2-Scc4 utilizes its modular structure to make multiple contacts with a folded cohesin at an interface created by the cohesin head-hinge interaction.
