Expression analysis of Candida albicans following a block in mitotic exit

ABSTRACT: Candida albicans demonstrates three main growth morphologies yeast, pseudohyphal and true hyphal forms. Cell separation is distinct in these morphological forms and the process of separation is closely linked to the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the small GTPase Tem1 is known to initiate the mitotic exit network, a signalling pathway involved in signalling the end of mitosis and initiating cytokinesis and cell separation. We have characterised the role of Tem1 in C. albicans, and demonstrate that it is essential for mitotic exit and cytokinesis, and that this essential function is signalled through the kinase Cdc15. Consistent with its role in activating the mitotic exit network Tem1 localised to spindle pole bodies in a cell cycle dependent manner. Cells depleted of Tem1 displayed highly polarised growth but ultimately fail to complete cytokinesis and re-enter the cell cycle following nuclear division. At the transcriptional level genes downregulated following the depletion of Tem1 where significantly enriched for genes whose expression peaks early in the cell cycle and for those associated with glycolysis. For expression analysis triplicate RNA samples were generated from exponentially growing C. albicans yeast cells and from cells following 8 h inhibition of TEM1 expression. Gene expression was determined using RNA-seq on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Kinases orchestrate phospho-proteome dynamics during mitotic exit

Project description:The cell division cycle culminates in mitosis when two daughter cells are born. As cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity reaches its peak, the Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC) is activated to trigger sister chromatid separation and mitotic spindle elongation, followed by spindle disassembly and cytokinesis. Degradation of mitotic cyclins and activation of Cdk-counteracting phosphatases are thought to cause protein dephosphorylation to control these sequential events. Here, we use budding yeast to analyze phosphorylation dynamics of 3456 phosphosites on 1101 proteins with high temporal resolution as cells progress synchronously through mitosis. This illustrates sequential protein dephosphorylation and reveals that the order arises from successive inactivation of S and M phase Cdks and of the mitotic kinase Polo. Unexpectedly, we detect as many new phosphorylation events as there are dephosphorylation events. These correlate with late mitotic kinase activation and identify numerous candidate targets of these kinases. Our findings revise our view of mitotic exit and portray it as a dynamic process in which a range of mitotic kinases instruct the order of both protein dephosphorylation as well as phosphorylation.

Mitotic Transcription and Waves of Gene Reactivation During Mitotic Exit

Project description:The genome is thought to be transcriptionally silent during mitosis. Technical limitations have prevented the sensitive mapping of mitotic transcription and transcription reactivation during mitotic exit, and thus the networks by which transcriptome dynamics govern the generation of daughter cells have been unclear. We used 5-ethynyluridine to pulse-label intact transcripts during mitosis and mitotic exit and find that the first round of transcription activates genes that are involved in macromolecular synthesis, rather than cell identity. Many interphase genes exhibit residual transcription in mitosis, as confirmed by different methods of assessment, and a subset of genes are more highly transcribed in mitosis than in interphase. We suggest that mitotic transcription may serve an epigenetic function in restoring proper transcription patterns during mitotic exit.

A proteome-wide screen of Cdc14 interactors in Candida albicans

Project description:The Cdc14 phosphatase plays a key role in organising the intricate choreography of mitosis and cell division. In order to understand the role of Cdc14 in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans we used quantitative proteomics to identify interacting proteins of CaCdc14. We used an orthogonal approach of a substrate trapping mutant combined with affinity purification-mass spectrometry analysis using stable isotope labelling in cell culture (SILAC). The results identified 126 proteins that interact with Cdc14 of which 80% are novel. These provide further insight into the function of Cdc14, highlighting roles in regulating the attachment of the mitotic spindle to kinetochores, mitotic exit, cytokinesis, licensing of DNA replication by re-activating pre-replication complexes, and DNA repair. Five Cdc14-interacting proteins with previously unknown functions localized to the Spindle Pole Bodies (SPBs). Intriguingly, there was suggestive evidence that Cdc14 substrates may include components of the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway targeted by azole anti-fungal drugs Thus we have greatly expanded the set of known substrates of Cdc14 by which it carries out these roles.

Distinct dephosphorylation site signatures of PP1 and PP2A-B55 coordinate mitotic exit.

Project description:Mitotic exit requires extensive dephosphorylation of Ser/Thr residues by the PP1 and PP2A-B55 protein phosphatases in human cells. Several aspects of this are poorly understood including specific substrates and determinants of phosphatase specificity. Here we develop a novel in vitro assay, MRBLE-dephos, that allows multiplexing of dephosphorylation reactions to determine phosphatase specificity. Using MRBLE-dephos, we establish amino acid preferences of the residues surrounding the phosphorylation site for PP1 and PP2A-B55, which reveals common and unique preferences for the two phosphatases. We use specific inhibition of PP1 and PP2A-B55 in mitotic exit lysates coupled with quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify more than 2000 regulated phosphorylation sites and integrate this with mitotic interactomes to obtain a comprehensive map of mitotic dephosphorylation events. Importantly, the sites dephosphorylated during mitotic exit reveal key signatures that are consistent with the MRBLE-dephos results. We use these insights to specifically alter INCENP dephosphorylation kinetics at mitotic exit resulting in defective cytokinesis underscoring the biological relevance of our determined specificity principles. Finally, we provide a comprehensive characterization of PP1 binding motifs and show how these can shape dephosphorylation and how PP1 primes its own association with these motifs at mitotic exit. Collectively we provide a framework for understanding mitotic exit regulation by dephosphorylation and novel approaches to dissect protein phosphatase specificity.

Mitotic stress is an integral part of the oncogene-induced senescence program that promotes multinucleation and cell cycle arrest

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a tumor suppression mechanism that blocks cell proliferation in response to oncogenic signalling. OIS is frequently accompanied by multinucleation; however, the origin of this is unknown. Here we show that multinucleate OIS cells originated mostly from failed mitosis. Prior to senescence, mutant RasV12 activation in primary human fibroblasts compromised mitosis, associated with abnormal expression of mitotic genes that enter M-phase. Simultaneously, RasV12 activation enhanced survival of damaged mitoses, culminating in extended mitotic arrest and aberrant exit from mitosis via mitotic slippage. ERK-dependent transcriptional up-regulation of Mcl1 was responsible for enhanced slippage of cells with mitotic defects and subsequent cell survival. Importantly, mitotic slippage and oncogene signalling synergistically induced senescence and key senescence regulators p21 and p16. We propose that activated Ras induces transcriptional changes that predispose cells undergoing OIS to mitotic stress and multinucleation. We used RNA-seq of IMR90 cells with inducible expression of oncogenic RasV12 that were synchronised in mitosis, to characterise the nature of mitotic defects that lead to multinucleation of oncogene-induced senescent cells

Global phosphoproteomic mapping of early mitotic exit in human cells identifies novel substrate dephosphorylation motifs

Project description:Entry into mitosis is driven by the coordinated phosphorylation of thousands of proteins. For the cell to complete mitosis and divide into two identical daughter cells it must regulate dephosphorylation of these proteins in a highly ordered, temporal manner. There is currently a lack of a complete understanding of the phosphorylation changes that occur during the initial stages of mitotic exit in human cells. Therefore, we performed a large unbiased, global analysis to map the very first dephosphorylation events that occur as cells exit mitosis. We identified and quantified the modification of >16,000 phosphosites on >3,300 unique proteins during early mitotic exit, providing up to 8-fold greater resolution than previous studies. Only a small fraction (~10%) of phosphorylation sites were dephosphorylated during early mitotic exit and these occurred on proteins involved in critical early exit events, including organization of the mitotic spindle, the spindle assembly checkpoint, and reformation of the nuclear envelope. Surprisingly this enrichment was observed across all kinase consensus motifs, indicating that it is independent of the upstream phosphorylating kinase. Therefore, dephosphorylation of these sites is likely determined by the specificity of phosphatase/s rather than the activity of kinase/s. Dephosphorylation was significantly affected by the amino acids at and surrounding the phosphorylation site, with several unique evolutionarily conserved amino acids correlating strongly with phosphorylation status. These data provide a potential mechanism for the specificity of phosphatases, and how they co-ordinate the ordered events of mitotic exit. In summary, our results provide a global overview of the phosphorylation changes that occur during the very first stages of mitotic exit, providing novel mechanistic insight into how phosphatase/s specifically regulate this critical transition.

Dynamic regulation of histone modifications and long-range chromosomal interactions during post-mitotic transcriptional reactivation [EU-RNA-seq]

Project description:During mitosis, transcription of genomic DNA is dramatically reduced, before its reactivation occurs during nuclear reformation in anaphase/telophase. Many aspects of the underlying principles that mediate transcriptional memory and reactivation in the daughter cells remain unclear. Here, we used ChIP-seq on synchronized cells at different stages after mitosis to generate genome-wide maps of histone modifications. In combination with EU-RNA-seq and Hi-C analyses, we show that, during prometaphase, promoters, enhancers, and insulators retain H3K4me3 and H3K4me1, while losing H3K27ac. Enhancers harboring mitotic H3K4me1 are associated with cell type-specific transcription factor motifs and mitotic activation of cell identity genes. As cells exit mitosis, promoters regain H3K27ac, which correlates with transcriptional reactivation. Insulators also gain H3K27ac and CCCTC binding factors (CTCF) in anaphase/telophase. This increase may play a role in the establishment of topologically associating domains (TADs). Together, our results show that the genome is reorganized in sequential order, in which histone methylations occur first in prometaphase, histone acetylation and CTCF in anaphase/telophase, transcription in cytokinesis, and long-range chromatin interactions in early G1. Our results provide insights into the histone modification landscape that allows faithful reestablishment of the transcriptional program and TADs during cell division.
