High-throughput sequencing analysis of the relative frequency of Contacts between Sister Copies emerging from a replication fork in Vibrio cholerae

ABSTRACT: Paired-end deep-sequencing was used to determine in parallel the status and position of sister-chromatid contact (SC2) reporters and/or site-specific recombinase (SSR) activity reporters inserted at random positions in a library of cells. The SC2 reporters are short recombination cassettes for a topology-independent site-specific recombinase (Cre or Xer). The SSR-activity reporters are long recombination cassettes. The SC2 reporter cassettes are composed of two directly-repeated recombination sites separated by a DNA segment too short to permit their excision by intramolecular recombination. The SSR-activity cassettes are composed of two directly-repeated recombination sites separated by a DNA segment long enough to permit their excision by intramolecular recombination. The assays start with the engineering of a cell line with a conditional expression allele for Cre or Xer and the creation of a library of cells harbouring a cognate SC2 or SSR-activity reporter at different genomic positions. Production of the recombinase was induced for different lengths of time during cell growth and/or at specific stages of the cell cycle. The position of the SC2 reporter harboured by each cell and the recombination status of the recombination cassette it contains are then determined by high-throughput paired-end sequencing.

Local regulation of the Srs2 helicase by the SUMO-like domain protein Esc2 promotes recombination at sites of stalled replication

Project description:Accurate completion of replication relies on the ability of cells to activate error-free recombination-mediated DNA damage-bypass at sites of perturbed replication. However, as anti-recombinase activities are also recruited to replication forks, how recombination-mediated damage-bypass is enabled at replication stress sites remained puzzling. Here we uncovered that the conserved SUMO-like domains-containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Esc2, facilitates recombination-mediated DNA damage tolerance by allowing optimal recruitment of the Rad51 recombinase specifically at sites of perturbed replication. Mechanistically, Esc2 binds stalled replication forks and counteracts the anti-recombinase Srs2 helicase via a two-faceted mechanism involving chromatin recruitment and turnover of Srs2. Importantly, point mutations in the SUMO-like domains of Esc2 that reduce its interaction with Srs2 cause sub-optimal levels of Rad51 recruitment at damaged replication forks. In conclusion, our results reveal how recombination-mediated DNA damage tolerance is locally enabled at sites of replication stress, while globally prevented at undamaged replicating chromosomes.

Computational prediction of miRNAs and their targets in Phaseolus vulgaris using simple sequence repeat signatures

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, noncoding, short RNAs directly involved in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In spite of immense importance, limited information of P. vulgaris miRNAs and their expression patterns prompted us to identify new miRNAs in P. vulgaris by computational methods. Besides conventional approaches, we have used the simple sequence repeat (SSR) signatures as one of the prediction parameter. Moreover, for all other parameters including normalized Shannon entropy, normalized base pairing index and normalized base-pair distance, instead of taking a fixed cut-off value, we have used 99% probability range derived from the available data. We have identified 208 mature miRNAs in P. vulgaris belonging to 118 families, of which 201 are novel. 97 of the predicted miRNAs in P. vulgaris were validated with the sequencing data obtained from the small RNA sequencing of P. vulgaris. Randomly selected predicted miRNAs were also validated using qRT-PCR. A total of 1305 target sequences were identified for 130 predicted miRNAs. Using 80% sequence identity cut-off, proteins coded by 563 targets were identified. The computational method developed in this study was also validated by predicting 229 miRNAs of A. thaliana and 462 miRNAs of G. max, of which 213 for A. thaliana and 397 for G. max are existing in miRBase 20. There is no universal SSR that is conserved among all precursors of Viridiplantae, but conserved SSR exists within a miRNA family and is used as a signature in our prediction method. Prediction of known miRNAs of A. thaliana and G. max validates the accuracy of our method. Our findings will contribute to the present knowledge of miRNAs and their targets in P. vulgaris. This computational method can be applied to any species of Viridiplantae for the successful prediction of miRNAs and their targets. Small RNA sequencing was done for 10 days old seedlings of Phaseolus vulgaris Cv. Anupam

RNA sequencing for Comparisons of Vibrio Cholerae Wild Type and VchM Knock Out

Project description:DNA methylation is a key epigenetic regulator in all domains of life, yet the effects of most bacterial DNA methyltransferases on cellular processes are largely undefined. Here, we used diverse techniques, including bisulfite sequencing, transcriptomics, and transposon insertion site sequencing to extensively characterize a 5-methylcytosine (5mC) methyltransferase, VchM, in the cholera pathogen, Vibrio cholerae. We have comprehensively defined VchM's DNA targets, its genetic interactions and the gene networks that it regulates. Although VchM is a relatively new component of the V. cholerae genome, it is required for optimal V. cholerae growth in vitro and during infection. Unexpectedly, the usually essential ÏE cell envelope stress pathway is dispensable in ÎvchM V. cholerae, likely due to its lower activation in this mutant and the capacity for VchM methylation to limit expression of some cell envelope modifying genes. Our work illuminates how an acquired DNA methyltransferase can become integrated within complex cell circuits to control critical housekeeping processes. Duplicates were used for all samples. For each strain background (C6706 and O395), there were control (Wildtype) samples and experimental samples (VchM knockout)

An ectopic CTCF binding element disturbs Vδ usage at the mouse Tcra-Tcrd locus by regulating contact between Vδ and Dδ gene segments

Project description:Chromatin looping mediated by the CCCTC binding factor CTCF regulates V(D)J recombination at antigen receptor loci. CTCF-mediated looping can influence recombination signal sequence accessibility by regulating enhancer activation of germline promoters. CTCF-mediated looping has also been shown to limit directional tracking of the RAG recombinase along chromatin, and to regulate through-space interactions between recombination signal sequences, independent of the RAG recombinase. However, in all prior instances in which CTCF-mediated looping was shown to influence V(D)J recombination, it was not possible to fully resolve the relative contributions to the V(D)J recombination phenotype of changes in accessibility, RAG-tracking, and RAG-independent long-distance interactions. Here, to assess mechanisms by which CTCF-mediated looping can impact V(D)J recombination, we introduced an ectopic CTCF binding element (CBE) immediately downstream of Eδ in the murine Tcra-Tcrd locus. The ectopic CBE impaired inversional rearrangement of Trdv5 in the absence of measurable effects on Trdv5 transcription and chromatin accessibility. Moreover, although the ectopic CBE limited directional RAG tracking from the Tcrd recombination center, such tracking cannot account for Trdv5-to-Trdd2 inversional rearrangement. Rather, the defect in Trdv5 rearrangement could only be attributed to a reconfigured chromatin loop organization that limited RAG-independent through-space interactions between the Trdv5 and Trdd2 RSSs. We conclude that CTCF can regulate V(D)J recombination by segregating RSSs into distinct loop domains and inhibiting RSS synapsis, independent of any effects on transcription, RSS accessibility and RAG tracking.

A multi-scale map of protein assemblies in the DNA damage response

Project description:The DNA damage response (DDR) ensures error-free genome replication and transcription and is disrupted in numerous pathologies including cancer, inflammation and aging1–5. An ongoing challenge is to determine the proteins orchestrating DDR and their organization into protein assemblies and complexes, some of which are constitutive, some which emerge de novo or are remodeled in DNA damaging conditions6. Here we integrate multi-conditional protein interaction networks with diverse multi-omics datasets to create a comprehensive map of DDR protein assemblies at multiple scales of analysis. This DNA damage response assembly map (DDRAM) encompasses 336 proteins, of which 57 (17%) are newly implicated in sensing or repair of DNA damage. We establish a requirement for three such factors in homologous recombination, the lipid chaperone FABP5, the actin-depolymerizing factor GSN, and the galectin LGALS7 as part of the BRCA2/PALB2 DNA repair complex. Another 204 (61%) proteins are known DDR factors assigned more specific functions. We find that single-strand DNA repair (SSR) factors segregate into a collection of 18 nested assemblies, which mirrors the function and dynamic aggregation of these factors at sites of DNA damage. One of these factors, CHTF18, localizes in a PARP-dependent manner with dynamics distinct from those in other SSR assemblies. The map is available at ccmi.org/ddram for interactive visualization, query and download.

Expression data from human skin exposed to solar-simulated radiation with or without sunscreen

Project description:Despite widespread use of sunscreens that minimize erythema by blocking ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, incidence rates of melanoma continue to rise. In considering this disparity between intervention and disease prevalence, we investigated the in vivo transcriptome of human skin treated with sunscreen and solar-simulated radiation (ssR). A focal skin area of healthy participants was exposed to ssR at 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), 0.1 MED or 100 J/m2 with or without prior application of sunscreen, or to non-UVB-spectrum of ssR (solar-simulated UVA/visible/infrared radiation: ssA). Skin biopsies were analyzed using expression microarrays. Ninety-eight microarrays from 14 healthy human volunteers were analyzed. Focal skin areas of all 14 volunteers were exposed to 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of solar-simulated radiation (ssR). Eight of the 14 volunteers (Group 1) were also exposed to ssA (ssR minus UVB) that were generated by removing UVB from 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of ssR. Additionally, 6 of the 14 volunteers (Group 2) were treated with sunscreen of sun protection factor (SPF) 15, and exposed to 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of ssR. Biopsy was taken 24 hours after exposure from each focal skin area for RNA extraction.

Identification of promoter activity in gene-less cassettes from Vibrionaceae superintegrons

Project description:Integrons are genetic platforms that acquire new genes encoded in integron cassettes (ICs), building arrays of adaptive functions for bacteria. ICs generally encode promoterless genes, whose expression relies on the PC promoter within the integron platform. Cassette arrays are assumed to be operon-like structures in which expression is dependent on the distance to the Pc. This is especially relevant in large sedentary chromosomal integrons (SCIs,) like the ones in Vibrio species. We have identified 29 gene-less cassettes in 4 Vibrio SCIs, and explored whether their function could be related to regulating the transcription of adjacent ICs. We show that most gene-less cassettes have promoter activity on the sense strand, enhancing the expression of downstream cassettes. Accordingly, we found that most of the superintegron in Vibrio cholerae is not silent. These promoter cassettes can trigger the expression of a silent dfrB9 resistance cassette downstream, increasing trimethoprim resistance >512-fold in V. cholerae and Escherichia coli. Additionally, one cassette had an antisense promoter capable of reducing trimethoprim resistance through transcriptional interference. Our findings highlight the regulatory role of gene-less cassettes in the expression of adjacent cassettes, emphasizing their significance in large SCIs and their clinical importance if captured by mobile integrons.
