Transcription forms and remodels supercoiling domains unfolding large scale chromatin structures [NimbleGen ChIP-chip]

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to investigate DNA supercoiling across the human genome and to understand how supercoiling domains impact on higher levels of genome organisation. DNA supercoiling is an inherent consequence of twisting DNA and is critical for regulating gene expression and DNA replication. However, DNA supercoiling at a genomic scale in human cells is uncharacterized. To map supercoiling we used biotinylated-trimethylpsoralen as a DNA structure probe to show the genome is organized into supercoiling domains. Domains are formed and remodeled by RNA polymerase and topoisomerase activities and are flanked by GC-AT boundaries and CTCF binding sites. Under-wound domains are transcriptionally active, enriched in topoisomerase I, M-bM-^@M-^\openM-bM-^@M-^] chromatin fibers and DNaseI sites, but are depleted of topoisomerase II. Furthermore DNA supercoiling impacts on additional levels of chromatin compaction as under-wound domains are cytologically decondensed, topologically constrained, and decompacted by transcription of short RNAs. We suggest that supercoiling domains create a topological environment that facilitates gene activation providing an evolutionary purpose for clustering genes along chromosomes. The binding of bTMP, as a reporter for DNA supercoiling, was investigated in RPE1 cells. Experiments were biological replicates

Transcription dependent dynamic supercoiling in Raji human B cells in vivo

Project description:Transcription has the capacity to modify mechanically DNA topology, DNA structure, and nucleosome arrangement. Resulting from ongoing transcription, these modifications in turn, may provide instant feedback to the transcription machinery. To substantiate the connection between transcription and DNA dynamics, we charted an ENCODE map of transcription-dependent dynamic supercoiling in human Burkitt lymphoma cells using psoralen photobinding to probe DNA topology in vivo. Dynamic supercoils spread ~1.5 kb upstream of the start sites of active genes. Low and high output promoters handle this torsional stress differently as shown using inhibitors of transcription and topoisomerases, and by chromatin immunoprecipation of RNA polymerase and topoisomerases I and II. Whereas lower outputs are managed adequately by topoisomerase I, high output promoters additionally require topoisomerase II. The genome-wide coupling between transcription and DNA topology emphasizes the importance of dynamic supercoiling for gene regulation. Raji cells: untreated and treated with DRB, CPT and BLAP. Three biological replicates per treatment, each hybridized to new array. Total: 12 samples (4 treatments x 3 replicates).

An increase in negative supercoiling in bacteria reveals topology-reacting gene clusters and a homeostatic response mediated by the DNA topoisomerase I gene [RNA-Seq]

Project description:We studied the response to increased DNA-supercoiling in Streptococcus pneumoniae by using seconeolitsine (SCN), a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor. A homeostatic transcriptional response allowing recovering of supercoiling density was observed in cells treated with subinhibitory SCN concentrations. Supercoiling increases up to 40.7% (6 ÂµM SCN) and 72.9% (8 ÂµM SCN) were reverted to 8.5% and 44.1%, respectively. Likewise, recovery of viability and DNA-supercoiling were observed when cells were treated with those SCN concentrations and the drug was removed. The main DNA topoisomerase gene affected was topA, whose transcription depended on the supercoiling level. A two stage global transcriptomic response with 8 ÂµM seconeolitsine was detected. The early stage (5 and 15 min, 10% of the genome) represented a response induced by increased supercoiling. The second stage represented supercoiling recovery (30 min, 2.0% of the genome). Almost 25% of the early responsive genes formed clusters with coordinated transcriptional regulation. Twelve clusters were evident, with sizes of 6.7 to 31.4 Kb (9 to 22 responsive genes). Strikingly, clusters did not contradict those observed under DNA relaxation, suggesting that bacteria manage supercoiling stress using overlapping responses. This is the first study describing a global transcriptomic response triggered by an increase in DNA supercoiling in bacteria. Total RNA was extracted from S. pneumoniae R6 cultures during exponential growth and used for RNA-Seq. Two independent replicates per condition were performed.
