The dynamics of postmitotic reassembly of the nucleolus.

ABSTRACT: Mammalian cell nucleoli disassemble at the onset of M-phase and reassemble during telophase. Recent studies showed that partially processed preribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) is preserved in association with processing components in the perichromosomal regions (PRs) and in particles called nucleolus-derived foci (NDF) during mitosis. Here, the dynamics of nucleolar reassembly were examined for the first time in living cells expressing fusions of the processing-related proteins fibrillarin, nucleolin, or B23 with green fluorescent protein (GFP). During telophase the NDF disappeared with a concomitant appearance of material in the reforming nuclei. Prenucleolar bodies (PNBs) appeared in nuclei in early telophase and gradually disappeared as nucleoli formed, strongly suggesting the transfer of PNB components to newly forming nucleoli. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) showed that fibrillarin-GFP reassociates with the NDF and PNBs at rapid and similar rates. The reentry of processing complexes into telophase nuclei is suggested by the presence of pre-rRNA sequences in PNBs. Entry of specific proteins into the nucleolus approximately correlated with the timing of processing events. The mitotically preserved processing complexes may be essential for regulating the distribution of components to reassembling daughter cell nucleoli.

Golgi apparatus self-organizes into the characteristic shape via postmitotic reassembly dynamics.

Project description:The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bounded organelle with the characteristic shape of a series of stacked flat cisternae. During mitosis in mammalian cells, the Golgi apparatus is once fragmented into small vesicles and then reassembled to form the characteristic shape again in each daughter cell. The mechanism and details of the reassembly process remain elusive. Here, by the physical simulation of a coarse-grained membrane model, we reconstructed the three-dimensional morphological dynamics of the Golgi reassembly process. Considering the stability of the interphase Golgi shape, we introduce two hypothetical mechanisms-the Golgi rim stabilizer protein and curvature-dependent restriction on membrane fusion-into the general biomembrane model. We show that the characteristic Golgi shape is spontaneously organized from the assembly of vesicles by proper tuning of the two additional mechanisms, i.e., the Golgi reassembly process is modeled as self-organization. We also demonstrate that the fine Golgi shape forms via a balance of three reaction speeds: vesicle aggregation, membrane fusion, and shape relaxation. Moreover, the membrane fusion activity decreases thickness and the number of stacked cisternae of the emerging shapes.

Clathrin is required for postmitotic Golgi reassembly.

Project description:During the G2-M transition, the highly organized Golgi apparatus undergoes reversible fragmentation through unstacking of the cisternal ribbon and disassembly into radially dispersed vesicles and tubules. These Golgi-derived fragments redistribute randomly within the cytoplasm, partition stochastically, and in telophase coalesce to generate a functionally and structurally intact Golgi complex. Here we identified a novel step in postmitotic Golgi reassembly that requires the clathrin heavy chain (CHC). We used siRNA-mediated CHC knockdown, biochemistry, and morphological analysis and showed that the spindle- and spindle pole-associated clathrin pools are membrane-bound and required for postmitotic Golgi reassembly. The results presented here show that clathrin remains associated with the spindle poles throughout mitosis and that this clathrin pool is distinct from the previously characterized spindle-associated population. We suggest that clathrin may provide a template for postmitotic Golgi reassembly and cisternal remodeling. In absence of the CHC, the Golgi apparatus remained disconnected and disordered and failed to regain its characteristic perinuclear, lace-like morphology. Our findings build on previous independent reports that clathrin is required for Golgi reassembly following disruption with pharmacological agents and for mitotic chromosome congression.

Nucleolin modulates compartmentalization and dynamics of histone 2B-ECFP in the nucleolus.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells have 2 to 3 discrete nucleoli required for ribosome synthesis. Nucleoli are phase separated nuclear sub-organelles. Here we examined the role of nuclear Lamins and nucleolar factors in modulating the compartmentalization and dynamics of histone 2B (H2B-ECFP) in the nucleolus. Live imaging and Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) of labelled H2B, showed that the depletion of Lamin B1, Fibrillarin (FBL) or Nucleostemin (GNL3), enhances H2B-ECFP mobility in the nucleolus. Furthermore, Nucleolin knockdown significantly decreases H2B-ECFP compartmentalization in the nucleolus, while H2B-ECFP residence and mobility in the nucleolus was prolonged upon Nucleolin overexpression. Co-expression of N-terminal and RNA binding domain (RBD) deletion mutants of Nucleolin or inhibiting 45S rRNA synthesis reduces the sequestration of H2B-ECFP in the nucleolus. Taken together, these studies reveal a crucial role of Nucleolin-rRNA complex in modulating the compartmentalization, stability and dynamics of H2B within the nucleolus.

Bidirectional changes in postmitotic H3K27me3 distributions underlie cerebellar granule neuron maturation dynamics

Project description:The functional and transcriptional maturation of neurons is a prolonged process that extends well beyond mitotic exit and terminal fate commitment of progenitors. The differentiation of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) in the postnatal mouse cerebellum provides a useful model to identify chromatin mechanisms that orchestrate temporal changes in transcription as postmitotic CGNs mature. Here we report that CGN maturation is associated with dynamic changes in the genomic distribution of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), a modification best known for its role in repressing alternative fates during cell specification. H3K27me3 is gained rapidly in newly postmitotic CGNs at progenitor-expressed genes that are repressed in neurons. H3K27me3 is lost more gradually at the promoters of a subset of neuronal genes that are transcriptionally induced upon CGN maturation. The loss of H3K27me3 is facilitated by the lysine demethylase KDM6B, and genes that are induced in maturing CGNs show impaired expression in the cerebellum of conditional KDM6B knockout mice. Genes that lose H3K27me3 gain H3K27 acetylation and binding of the pro-maturation ZIC1/2 transcription factors, suggesting that developmental loss of H3K27me3 may be required to permit the onset of transcriptional maturation. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of the H3K27 methyltransferase EZH2 in early postmitotic CGNs not only blocked the repression of progenitor genes but also impaired the induction of mature CGN genes. These data show that regulation of H3K27me3 functions in developing postmitotic neurons beyond the period of cell fate commitment to regulate the dynamics of gene expression programs that underlie functional neuronal maturation.

DNA instability in postmitotic neurons.

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion that is unstable upon germ-line transmission and exhibits mosaicism in somatic tissues. We show that region-specific CAG repeat mosaicism profiles are conserved between several mouse models of HD and therefore develop in a predetermined manner. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these synchronous, radical changes in CAG repeat size occur in terminally differentiated neurons. In HD this ongoing mutation of the repeat continuously generates genetically distinct neuronal populations in the adult brain of mouse models and HD patients. The neuronal population of the striatum is particularly distinguished by a high rate of CAG repeat allele instability and expression driving the repeat upwards and would be expected to enhance its toxicity. In both mice and humans, neurons are distinguished from nonneuronal cells by expression of MSH3, which provides a permissive environment for genetic instability independent of pathology. The neuronal mutations described here accumulate to generate genetically discrete populations of cells in the absence of selection. This is in contrast to the traditional view in which genetically discrete cellular populations are generated by the sequence of random variation, selection, and clonal proliferation. We are unaware of any previous demonstration that mutations can occur in terminally differentiated neurons and provide a proof of principle that, dependent on a specific set of conditions, functional DNA polymorphisms can be produced in adult neurons.

Mapping nucleolus-associated chromatin interactions by nucleolus-Hi-C reveals repression network

Project description:Nucleolus plays a key role in organizing global nuclear structure and facilitating gene regulation, but the three dimensional information within the nucleolus associated chromatins are still unknown, so here we development the Nucleolus Hi-C (NHi-C) experimental technique, which combines the nucleolus isolation with Hi-C experiment, and study the interactions within and surrounding nucleolus in human cells with a high resolution. With NHi-C experiment, we report how the nucleolus-associated chromatin regions interact at genome scale, and how these interactions organize the repressive nucleus architecture.

Dynamics and ecological reassembly of the human gut microbiome and the host metabolome in response to prolonged fasting.

Project description:IntroductionProlonged fasting is an intervention approach with potential benefits for individuals with obesity or metabolic disorders. Changes in gut microbiota during and after fasting may also have significant effects on the human body.MethodsHere we conducted a 7-days medically supervised water-only fasting for 46 obese volunteers and characterized their gut microbiota based on whole-metagenome sequencing of feces at five timepoints.ResultsSubstantial changes in the gut microbial diversity and composition were observed during fasting, with rapid restoration after fasting. The ecological pattern of the microbiota was also reassembled during fasting, reflecting the reduced metabolic capacity of diet-derived carbohydrates, while other metabolic abilities such as degradation of glycoproteins, amino acids, lipids, and organic acid metabolism, were enhanced. We identified a group of species that responded significantly to fasting, including 130 fasting-resistant (consisting of a variety of members of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteria) and 140 fasting-sensitive bacteria (mainly consisting of Firmicutes members). Functional comparison of the fasting-responded bacteria untangled the associations of taxon-specific functions (e.g., pentose phosphate pathway modules, glycosaminoglycan degradation, and folate biosynthesis) with fasting. Furthermore, we found that the serum and urine metabolomes of individuals were also substantially changed across the fasting procedure, and particularly, these changes were largely affected by the fasting-responded bacteria in the gut microbiota.DiscussionOverall, our findings delineated the patterns of gut microbiota alterations under prolonged fasting, which will boost future mechanistic and clinical intervention studies.
