Cerebrospinal meningitis is a feared disease that can cause the death of a previously healthy individual within hours. Paradoxically, the causative agent, Neisseria meningitidis, is a common inhabitant of the human nasopharynx, and as such, may be considered a normal, commensal organism. Only in a small proportion of colonized people do the bacteria invade the bloodstream, from where they can cross the blood-brain barrier to cause meningitis. Furthermore, most meningococcal disease is caused by ...[more]

CSL ChIP-seq

Project description:The expression of a large proportion of the fission yeast genome changes periodically with the cell cycle. Several key transcription factors have been identified that regulate these oscillating and interdependent waves of gene expression. However, for a significant number of cell cycle-regulated genes the regulator(s) driving these oscillations remain unknown. Cbf11 and Cbf12, the fission yeast CSL transcription factors, have been implicated in the regulation of cell cycle progression, yet the details of their functioning are poorly understood. Using a combination of transcriptome profiling and genome-wide mapping of CSL-DNA interactions we have identified a comprehensive set of CSL-regulated genes. Our data indicate that Cbf11 and Cbf12 contribute directly and indirectly to the regulation of periodically expressed genes in fission yeast. We show that during S phase/cytokinesis Cbf11 directly activates the transcription of several periodic genes required in the cell to prevent catastrophic mitosis. In agreement with these findings, multiple aspects of cell cycle progression are perturbed when CSL cellular levels are genetically manipulated. We have identified Cbf11 as a novel cell cycle phase-specific activator of genes required for proper coordination of cell and nuclear division, and prevention of catastrophic mitosis in fission yeast.

Transcription profiling of stress treated fission yeast (stressors: compound: heavy metal, oxidation, alkylation and osmosis

Project description:Transcriptional profile of stress in fission yeast (S. pombe) cells. Five different types of stress were employed on wild type and mutant cells (sty1 and atf1 knock-out cells). The 5 stresses were heat, and four types of compound: heavy metal, oxidation, alkylation and osmosis.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast Pht1 (H2A.Z) deletion mutants

Project description:Histone variant H2A.Z has a conserved role in genome stability, although it remains unclear how this is mediated. Here we demonstrate that the fission yeast Swr1 1 ATPase inserts H2A.Z (Pht1) into chromatin and Kat5 acetyltransferase (Mst1) acetylates it. Deletion or an unacetylatable mutation of Pht1 1 leads to genome instability, primarily caused by chromosome entanglement and breakage at anaphase. This leads to the loss of telomere-proximal markers, though telomere protection and repeat length are unaffected by the absence of Pht1. Strikingly, the chromosome entanglement in pht1? anaphase cells can be rescued by forcing chromosome condensation before anaphase onset. We show that the condensin complex, required for the maintenance of anaphase chromosome condensation, prematurely dissociates from chromatin in the absence of Pht1. This and other findings suggest an important role for H2A.Z in the architecture of anaphase chromosomes.

Transcription profiling of wild type and mutant fission yeast exposed to different intensities of H202 and two other oxidants

Project description:We studied transcriptional responses of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe to different intensities of H2O2 stress as well as two other oxidants: menadione sodium bisulfite and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. DNA microarrays were used to study the changes in expression profiles and the transcriptional regulation. We compare and contrast global expression and regulation of different intensities of H2O2 stress and different oxidants. The transcriptional response to low doses of H2O2 is very similar to menadione sodium bisulfite and the genes were controlled primarily by the transcription factor Pap1. The transcriptional response to medium and high doses of H2O2 is very similar to tert-butyl hydroperoxide and the genes were mostly regulated by the stress-activated MAP kinase Sty1p and the transcription factor Atf1p. We also compare global regulation of oxidative stress genes in fission and budding yeasts and discuss evolutionary implications.

A coordintate global control over cellular transcription

Project description:Although much is known about the regulation of eukaryotic transcription, the global controls which determine rates of total transcription within a cell are not well understood. We have investigated the effects that the DNA to protein ratio has on both total cellular transcription and the transcription of individual mRNA genes in the unicellular eukaryote fission yeast. Mutants altered in cell size and those blocked in cell cycle progression were used to vary the DNA to protein ratio over a fivefold range around the wild type value. We find that cells of sizes within twofold of wild type value regulate global transcription to maintain similar transcription rates per protein regardless of the cellular DNA content. These changes in total transcription were correlated with coordinated changes in gene occupancy by RNA polymerase II. In large cell cycle arrested mutants, when the DNA to protein ratio falls to a low level, total transcription rates plateau as DNA becomes limiting for transcription1. Unexpectedly, expression levels of individual genes remained tightly coordinated with each other over the entire range of cell sizes. We propose that there is a coordinated, global cellular control which determines the rate of transcription of most genes in the genome and that this control plays a role in regulating the overall growth rate of the cell. Normalized data generated using protocol P-TABM-1335 is available in file ZHURINSKY_NORMALISED_DATA.txt in the additional data archive.

Project description:To determine the influence of BldM and WhiI on the binding of each other to their respective binding sites in the genome of Streptomyces venezuelae, ChIP-Seq experiments were carried out using polyclonal antibodies against the wild type proteins as well as anti-FLAG antibodies against FLAG-tagged proteins. Null mutants of Streptomyces venezuelae lacking WhiI or BldM were used as controls. The wild tpe strain was used as control in experiments using the anti-FLAG antibodies.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast mutants sep10 and sep15

Project description:The fission yeast Mcs6-Mcs2-Pmh1 complex (homologous to metazoan Cdk7-cyclin HMat1) performs dual functions: in cell cycle control, as a CDK-activating kinase; and in transcription by RNA polymerase (Pol) II, as part of TFIIH. It is unknown whether that linkage serves to coordinate gene expression with cell division. Mutants in mcs6 and pmh1 arrest with incomplete cell separation and decreased phosphorylation of the Pol II large subunit. Gene expression profiling by microarray hybridization revealed that a defined subset (~5%) of genes was repressed by Mcs6 complex impairment, whereas the majority was refractory. The repression signature included a cell-cycle cluster implicated in cytokinesis and cell separation, and overlapped with those of the cell-separation mutants sep1, sep10 and sep15 (relative to wild-type cells). The gene sep10 encodes the homolog of a protein found in metazoan Mediator-like complexes, and sep15 encodes an established component of the Mediator. In mcs6 or pmh1 mutants, sep10+, which also encodes a component of the transcriptional machinery, becomes essential for viability. Finally, mcs6+ also interacts genetically with sep1+, which encodes a forkhead transcription factor required for periodic transcription during mitosis and cell division. Thus, the Mcs6 complex (a direct activator of the cell-cycle engine) also helps govern the cell-cycle transcriptional program.
