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:The budding yeast E3 SUMO ligase Mms21, a component of the Smc5-6 complex, regulates sister chromatid cohesion, DNA replication, and DNA repair. We identify a role for Mms21 in ribosome biogenesis. The mms21RINGD mutant exhibits reduced rRNA production, nuclear accumulation of 60S and 40S ribosomal proteins, and elevated Gcn4 translation. Genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and translation are down-regulated in the mms21RINGD mutant.

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:It is generally assumed that mRNAs undergoing translation are protected from decay. Here, we show that mRNAs are, in fact, co-translationally degraded. This is a widespread and conserved process affecting most genes, where 5′–3′ transcript degradation follows the last translating ribosome, producing an in vivo ribosomal footprint. By sequencing the ends of 5′ phosphorylated mRNA degradation intermediates, we obtain a genome-wide drug-free measurement of ribosome dynamics. We identify general translation termination pauses in both normal and stress conditions. In addition, we describe novel codon-specific ribosomal pausing sites in response to oxidative stress that are dependent on the RNase Rny1. Our approach is simple and straightforward and does not require the use of translational inhibitors or in vitro RNA footprinting that can alter ribosome protection patterns. RNA samples were quantified according to their 5’modification. Samples were quantified using 2 alternative methods. 5PSeq (measures 5’P RNAs) and 5PSeq-fragmented (measures the sequencing bias present in any sample by randomly fragmenting RNA, re-phosphorilating the 5’ends and subjecting the sample to 5PSeq; it is used as a negative control). Different strains of S. cerevisiae and S. pombe samples were analyzed. Cells were grown both in rich media (YPD or YES) and synthetic defined media (SD). Cells were subjected to different treatments such as inhibition of translation elongation with cyclohexamide (CHX), oxidative stress (0.2 mM H2O2) or inhibition of histidine biosyntesys (3-AT; 100mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole). S. cerevisiae samples grown in rich media were also analyzed after CHX treatment and sucrose fractionation into monosome and polyribosome fractionation. All samples were analyzed in biological duplicates.

Project description:Protein translation is at the heart of cellular metabolism and its in-depth characterization is key for many lines of research. Recently, ribosome profiling became the state-of-the-art method to quantitatively characterize translation dynamics at a transcriptome-wide level. However, the strategy of library generation affects its outcomes. Here, we present a modified ribosomeprofiling protocol starting from yeast, human cells and vertebrate brain tissue. We use a DNA linker carrying four randomized positions at its 5â and a reverse-transcription (RT) primer with three randomized positions to reduce artifacts during library preparation. The use of seven randomized nucleotides allows to efficiently detect library-generation artifacts. We find that the effect of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) artifacts is relatively small for global analyses when sufficient input material is used. However, when input material is limiting, our strategy improves the sensitivity of gene-specific analyses. Furthermore, randomized nucleotides alleviate the skewed frequency of specific sequences at the 3â end of ribosome-protected fragments (RPFs) likely resulting from ligase specificity. Finally, strategies that rely on dual ligation show a high degree of gene-coverage variation. Taken together, our approach helps to remedy two of the main problems associated with ribosome-profiling data. This will facilitate the analysis of translational dynamics and increase our understanding of the influence of RNA modifications on translation.

Project description:Ribosome-footprint profiling provides genome-wide snapshots of translation, but technical challenges can confound its analysis. Here, we use improved methods to obtain ribosome-footprint profiles and mRNA abundances that more faithfully reflect gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results support proposals that both the beginning of coding regions and codons matching rare tRNAs are more slowly translated. They also indicate that emergent polypeptides with as few as three basic residues within a 10-residue window tend to slow translation. With the improved mRNA measurements, the variation attributable to translational control in exponentially growing yeast was less than previously reported, and most of this variation could be predicted with a simple model that considered mRNA abundance, upstream open reading frames, cap-proximal structure and nucleotide composition, and lengths of the coding and 5'-untranslated regions. Collectively, our results provide a framework for executing and interpreting ribosome-profiling studies and reveal key features of translational control in yeast. Ribosome-footprint profiling and RNA-seq (total RNA, poly(A) selected, RiboMinus treated, or Ribo-Zero treated) from log-phase S. cerevisiae. The study includes a reanalysis of the two Samples from GSE53313. The reanalyzed data is linked to the Series record.

Project description:Prions are infectious proteins that can adopt a structural conformation different from that of the normal protein. This change of conformation is then propagated among other molecules of the same protein. Prions are associated with neurodegenerative diseases in mammals, but are also found in fungi (in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina), in which they control heritable traits. They are widespread in wild yeast strains, suggesting a biologically important role. [PSI+] is one of the most widely studied yeast prions. It corresponds to an aggregated conformation of the translational release factor, eRF3, which suppresses nonsense codons. [PSI+] modifies cellular fitness, inducing various phenotypes, depending on the genetic background. However, the genes displaying [PSI+]-controlled expression remain largely unknown. We used the recently described ribosome profiling approach to identify genes displaying changes in expression in the presence of [PSI+]. This made it possible to determine the positions of all active ribosomes within the genome, in both [PSI+] and [PSI-] isogenic strains. Comparisons of the translatomes and transcriptomes of the two strains revealed that the primary effect of [PSI+] was to repress genes involved in the stress response. Thus, we provide the first description of the global translational effect of [PSI+] and a new genetic explanation of the phenotypic differences between [PSI-] and [PSI+] strains under stress conditions. Comparisons of the translatomes and transcriptomes of the two strains. Comparisons of the translatomes of the two strainsM-BM- : a [PSI+] strain (two replicates) and a [PSI+] overexpressing SUP35-Cter strain.

Project description:To measure the impact of Hap5 regulation on its targets, we performed transcriptome analyses comparing gene expression in a hap5 deletion mutant and in wild type cells. Because our ChIP-seq results showed an interaction between Hap5 and the targets of Yap5, we performed these transcriptome experiments on cells grown in three different conditions: standard rich media, iron excess and iron starvation.

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. Two cohesin mutants were compared to wt in a time course of amino acid starvation consisting of 4 time points, 3 replicates of each, for a total of 36 samples.
