Project description:DNA replication initiates from defined locations called replication origins; some origins are highly active whereas others are dormant and rarely used. Origins also differ in their activation time resulting in particular genomic regions replicating at characteristic times and in a defined temporal order. Here we report the comparison of genome replication in four budding yeast species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. paradoxus, S. arboricolus and S. bayanus. First, we find that the locations of active origins are predominantly conserved between species, whereas dormant origins are poorly conserved. Second, we generated genome-wide replication profiles for each of these species and discovered that the temporal order of genome replication is highly conserved. Therefore, active origins are not only conserved in location, but also activation time. Only a minority of these conserved origins show differences in activation time between these species. To gain insight as to the mechanisms by which origin activation time is regulated we generated replication profiles for a S. cerevisiae / S. bayanus hybrid strain and find that there are both local and global regulators of origin function. Measurement of genome replication time from 4 budding yeast species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. paradoxus, S. arboricolus and S. bayanus) and a hybrid (between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. bayanus). For each strain two samples were analysed: a replicating sample (from S phase) and a non-replicating sample (from G2 phase) The reference genome sequences for each yeast species are available as Series supplementary file [sac*.fa]

Project description:The experiment was performed to assess the importance of nucleosome eviction for the binding of condensin to chromatin during mitosis. The condensin complex associates with chromatin during mitosis to ensure chromosome condensation and accurate segregation, but how this binding is achieved remains poorly understood. Our study indicates that transcription co-activators Gcn5 and Mst2 assist condensin binding during mitosis by evicting nucleosomes. To reach this conclusion, we mapped nucleosomes, during mitosis, in wild-type and gcn5mst2 mutant strains. This experiment allowed us (1) to identify nucleosome-depleted regions (ndrs) during mitosis and to show that condensin tends to colocalize with ndr at the 3ends of genes, and (2) to confirm the importance of nucleosome eviction from ndrs by gcn5 and mst2, during mitosis, for the binding of condensin to chromatin.this experiment determines the patterns of nucleosomes in wild type and mutant fission yeast cells arrested in early mitosis. We analysed wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 histone acetylatransferase (gcn5D) and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2 histone acetyltransferases (Gcn5Dmst2D). All cells used in this study expressed a GFP-tagged version of condensin (Cnd2-GFP) and were blocked in early mitosis at 19C by the nda3-KM311 mutation. Mitotic indexes were determined by scoring the accumulation of Cnd2-GFP in the nucleus. Mitotic cells were collected and chromatin was digested by increasing amount of MNase to produce mononucleosomes. Mononucleosomal DNA was purified on an agarose gel and sequence on an Illumina Nextseq 500 apparatus. Three replicates of wild type, gcn5D and gcn5Dmst2D were analysed. Nucleosome patterns were determined in wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2.

Project description:DEAD-box ATPases belong to an abundant class of proteins that are involved in virtually all aspects of RNA metabolism and are found in all kingdoms of life. When bound to a DEAD-box ATPase, the RNA substrate is forced into a kinked conformation that is incompatible with helical structures. Distortion of the RNA can result in unwinding of short RNA duplexes (helicase activity) or destabilize RNA-protein interactions, allowing DEAD-box ATPases to remodel mRNPs (RNPase activity). The RNPase activity makes DEAD-box ATPases suitable molecular building blocks for the implementation of checkpoints that confer directionality to the process of RNA biogenesis. Here, we provide data that characterizes the DEAD-box ATPase Dbp2 (SPBP8B7.16c) of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Using calibrated RNAPII-ChIP-seq, we determined the transcription profiles of a conditional depletion strain of Dbp2 and the corresponding wild type. For this, we placed the endogenous dbp2 gene under the control of the P.nmt1 promoter, which is repressed in the presence of thiamine. Cells were crosslinked at the beginning (t0) or the end (t9) of a 9h shift to thiamine-containing YES medium. S. cerevisiae spike-in cells were added in a 1:5 OD600 ratio immediately before crosslinking.

Project description:CENP-A chromatin the foundation for kinetochore assembly in all eukaryotes. CENP-A is incorporated outside of S phase and depends on its chaperone HJURPScm3, and Mis18 in vertebrates and fission yeast. The recruitment of Mis18 and HJURPScm3 to centromeres is cell cycle regulated. Vertebrate Mis18 associates with Mis18BP1KNL2 and RbAp46/48Mis16/Hat2. Mis18BP1KNL2 is critical for the recruitment of Mis18 and HJURPScm3 to vertebrate centromeres. However, no ortholog of Mis18BP1KNL2 has been identified in fission yeast, consequently it remains unknown how the key Cnp1CENP-A loading factor Mis18 is recruited. We identify two novel Mis18-interacting proteins (Eic1 and Eic2) in fission yeast. Our analyses show that Eic1 and Eic2 are components of a Mis18 complex. Eic1 is essential to maintain normal Cnp1CENP-A levels at centromeres and therefore is crucial for kinetochore integrity whereas Eic2 is dispensable. Eic1 also associates with components of the large constitutive CCAN/Sim4/Ctf19 complex. Our findings suggest that Eic1 is the functional counterpart of Mis18BP1KNL2 and acts as a link with constitutive kinetochore components to allow the temporally regulated recruitment of the Mis18 Cnp1CENP-A loader. 100bp paired end ChIP-Seq analysis of GFP tagged Eic1, Eic2, Scm3, and Mis18 with sonicated whole cell extract input DNA in asynchornous Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells.

Project description:The occupancy of nucleosomes governs access to the eukaryotic genomes and results from a combination of biophysical features and the effect of ATP-dependent remodeling complexes. Most promoter regions show a conserved pattern characterized by a nucleosome-depleted region (NDR) flanked by nucleosomal arrays. The conserved RSC remodeler was reported to be critical to establish NDR in vivo in budding yeast but other evidences suggested that this activity may not be conserved in fission yeast. By reanalysing and expanding previously published data, we propose that NDR formation is dependent on RSC in both yeast species. We also discuss the most prominent biological role of RSC and the possibility that non-essential subunits define alternate versions of the complex. Samples from mononucleosomal DNA from S. pombe strains h- kanR-tetO-snf21-Tap-natR ura4::rTetR-tup11 were sequenced (Illumina NextSeq 500 platform) using the pair-end read protocol

Project description:To test the role of Mpe1 in transcription termination we inserted a mini-auxin induced degron (mAID) at the C-terminal end of the endogenous MPE1 locus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We treated Mpe1-mAID cells (JRY101) or wild type cells (WT, YMK728) with 1 mM auxin for 30 minutes and labeled the nascent RNA with 4-thiouracil (4tU) for 6 minutes. The nascent RNA fraction was prepared by biotinylating the 4tU-labeled RNA followed purification with streptavidin beads. Nascent and total RNA fractions were depleted of ribosomal RNA and strand-specific libraries prepared. Libraries were single-end sequenced using an Ilummina HiSeq 4000 instrument.

Project description:Chromatin modifications play a pivotal role in cell fate decision. In fission yeast, the ste11 gene encodes the master regulator initiating the switch from vegetative growth to gametogenesis when cells starve. The methylation of H3K4 by Set1-COMPASS and consequent promoter nucleosome deacetylation was shown to repress ste11 induction and cell differentiation but the regulatory steps remain poorly understood. A genetic screen highlighted H2B ubiquitylation and the RSC remodeling complex as activators of ste11 expression. Mechanistic analyses revealed more complex, opposite roles of H2B-ub1 at the promoter where it represses expression, and over the transcribed region where it sustains transcription of ste11. By promoting H3K4 methylation at the promoter, H2B-ub1 initiates the deacetylation process, which decreases chromatin remodeling by RSC. Upon induction, this process is reversed and efficient NDR formation leads to high expression. Therefore, H2B-ub1 represses gametogenesis by opposing the recruitment of RSC at the promoter of the master regulator ste11 gene. Samples from mononucleosomal DNA from S. pombe strains h-972 and h-972 rsc1::kanR were sequenced (Illumina NextSeq 500 platform) using the pair-end read protocol
