Gene recruitment of the activated INO1 locus to the nuclear membrane.

ABSTRACT: The spatial arrangement of chromatin within the nucleus can affect reactions that occur on the DNA and is likely to be regulated. Here we show that activation of INO1 occurs at the nuclear membrane and requires the integral membrane protein Scs2. Scs2 antagonizes the action of the transcriptional repressor Opi1 under conditions that induce the unfolded protein response (UPR) and, in turn, activate INO1. Whereas repressed INO1 localizes throughout the nucleoplasm, the gene is recruited to the nuclear periphery upon transcriptional activation. Recruitment requires the transcriptional activator Hac1, which is produced upon induction of the UPR, and is constitutive in a strain lacking Opi1. Artificial recruitment of INO1 to the nuclear membrane permits activation in the absence of Scs2, indicating that the intranuclear localization of a gene can profoundly influence its mechanism of activation. Gene recruitment to the nuclear periphery, therefore, is a dynamic process and appears to play an important regulatory role.

Recruitment of an Activated Gene to the Yeast Nuclear Pore Complex Requires Sumoylation.

Project description:In addition to their role in regulating transport across the nuclear envelope, increasing evidence suggests nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) function in regulating gene expression. For example, the induction of certain genes (e.g., yeast INO1) is accompanied by their movement from the nuclear interior to NPCs. As sumoylation has been linked to the regulation of chromatin spatial organization and transcriptional activity, we investigated the role of sumoylation in the expression and NPC recruitment of the INO1 gene. We observed that induction of INO1 is accompanied by both increased and decreased sumoylation of proteins associated with specific regions along the INO1 locus. Furthermore, we show that the E3 ligase Siz2/Nfi1 is required for targeting the INO1 locus to the NPC where it interacts with the SUMO isopeptidase Ulp1. Our data suggest that this interaction is required for both the association of INO1 with the NPC and for its normal expression. These results imply that sumoylation is a key regulator of INO1 targeting to the NPC, and a cycle of sumoylation and NPC-associated desumoylation events contribute to the regulation of INO1 expression.

Activator-dependent recruitment of SWI/SNF and INO80 during INO1 activation.

Project description:Transcriptional activation of yeast INO1 requires SWI/SNF and INO80 for nucleosome disruption at the promoter. However, the cooperative interplay among remodelers and their recruitment dynamics in activation have thus far been vague. Here, we showed, using chromatin immunoprecipitation, that both SWI/SNF and INO80 are present at the promoter and are restricted to the promoter, indicating that they directly participate in localized INO1 chromatin remodeling. Furthermore, both SWI/SNF and INO80 are absent at the INO1 promoter in ino2Delta cells, suggesting that these are activator-dependent remodelers. We have also found that the presence of INO80 is required for SWI/SNF recruitment, indicating that INO80 arrives first at the promoter followed by SWI/SNF. In light of these findings, we proposed a model which describes the order of events in INO1 activation.

BAF facilitates interphase nuclear membrane repair through recruitment of nuclear transmembrane proteins.

Project description:Nuclear membrane rupture during interphase occurs in a variety of cell contexts, both healthy and pathological. Membrane ruptures can be rapidly repaired, but these mechanisms are still unclear. Here we show barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), a nuclear envelope protein that shapes chromatin and recruits membrane proteins in mitosis, also facilitates nuclear membrane repair in interphase, in part through recruitment of the nuclear membrane proteins emerin and Lem-domain-containing protein 2 (LEMD2) to rupture sites. Characterization of GFP-BAF accumulation at nuclear membrane rupture sites confirmed BAF is a fast, accurate, and persistent mark of nucleus rupture whose kinetics are partially dictated by membrane resealing. BAF depletion significantly delayed nuclear membrane repair, with a larger effect on longer ruptures. This phenotype could be rescued by GFP-BAF, but not by a BAF mutant lacking the Lap2, emerin, Man1 (LEM)-protein binding domain. Depletion of the BAF interactors LEMD2 or emerin, and to a lesser extent lamin A/C, increased the duration of nucleus ruptures, consistent with LEM-protein binding being a key function of BAF during membrane repair. Overall our results suggest a model where BAF is critical for timely repair of large ruptures in the nuclear membrane, potentially by facilitating membrane attachment to the rupture site.

Interaction of a DNA zip code with the nuclear pore complex promotes H2A.Z incorporation and INO1 transcriptional memory.

Project description:DNA "zip codes" in the promoters of yeast genes confer interaction with the NPC and localization at the nuclear periphery upon activation. Some of these genes exhibit transcriptional memory: after being repressed, they remain at the nuclear periphery for several generations, primed for reactivation. Transcriptional memory requires the histone variant H2A.Z. We find that targeting of active INO1 and recently repressed INO1 to the nuclear periphery is controlled by two distinct and independent mechanisms involving different zip codes and different interactions with the NPC. An 11 base pair memory recruitment sequence (MRS) in the INO1 promoter controls both peripheral targeting and H2A.Z incorporation after repression. In cells lacking either the MRS or the NPC protein Nup100, INO1 transcriptional memory is lost, leading to nucleoplasmic localization after repression and slower reactivation of the gene. Thus, interaction of recently repressed INO1 with the NPC alters its chromatin structure and rate of reactivation.

Derepression of INO1 transcription requires cooperation between the Ino2p-Ino4p heterodimer and Cbf1p and recruitment of the ISW2 chromatin-remodeling complex.

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae INO1 gene encodes the structural enzyme inositol-3-phosphate synthase for the synthesis de novo of inositol and inositol-containing phospholipids. The transcription of INO1 is completely derepressed in the absence of inositol and choline (I(-) C(-)). Derepression requires the binding of the Ino2p-Ino4p basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) heterodimer to the UAS(INO) promoter element. We report here the requirement of a third bHLH protein, centromere-binding factor 1 (Cbf1p), for the complete derepression of INO1 transcription. We found that Cbf1p regulates INO1 transcription by binding to sites distal to the INO1 promoter and encompassing the upstream SNA3 open reading frame (ORF) and promoter. The binding of Cbf1p requires Ino2p-Ino4p binding to the UAS(INO) sites in the INO1 promoter and vice versa, suggesting a cooperative mechanism. Furthermore, Cbf1p binding to the upstream sites was required for the binding of the ISW2 chromatin-remodeling complex to the Ino2p-Ino4p-binding sites on the INO1 promoter. Consistent with this, ISW2 was also required for the complete derepression of INO1 transcription.

Isolation of the yeast INO1 gene: located on an autonomously replicating plasmid, the gene is fully regulated.

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene, INO1 , encoding the highly regulated enzyme, myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase [1L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate lyase (isomerizing), EC 5.5.1.4], was isolated by genetic complementation. The cloned sequence was shown to complement two independent IN01 alleles ( ino1 -5 and ino1 -13). One of these mutants ( ino1 -5) fails to make any material that is crossreactive with antibody to the wild-type inositol-1-phosphate synthase. The cloned DNA restored not only inositol prototrophy to this mutant but also its ability to make material crossreactive with anti-inositol-1-phosphate synthase antibody. The sequence on an integrative plasmid was also shown to recombine with the INO1 locus, thereby confirming its genetic identity. The DNA was subcloned and used for Southern blot analysis, revealing that the cloned DNA (5.4 kilobases long) represents a unique sequence in the yeast genome. Inositol-1-phosphate synthase was fully regulated when its gene was located extrachromosomally on the autonomously replicating plasmid. In cells ( ino1 -) containing the cloned INO1 gene on a high-copy-number plasmid, the enzyme was fully repressible. Furthermore, the gene product was not expressed when the plasmid was transferred into a strain containing an ino4 mutation, which also prevents expression of chromosomal copies of INO1 . These results establish that the intact structural gene and associated regulatory components have been isolated and that positioning of the gene in its normal chromosomal location is not required for full regulation of inositol-1-phosphate synthase.

Identifying gene locus associations with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies using immuno-TRAP.

Project description:Important insights into nuclear function would arise if gene loci physically interacting with particular subnuclear domains could be readily identified. Immunofluorescence microscopy combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (immuno-FISH), the method that would typically be used in such a study, is limited by spatial resolution and requires prior assumptions for selecting genes to probe. Our new technique, immuno-TRAP, overcomes these limitations. Using promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) as a model, we used immuno-TRAP to determine if specific genes localize within molecular dimensions with these bodies. Although we confirmed a TP53 gene-PML NB association, immuno-TRAP allowed us to uncover novel locus-PML NB associations, including the ABCA7 and TFF1 loci and, most surprisingly, the PML locus itself. These associations were cell type specific and reflected the cell's physiological state. Combined with microarrays or deep sequencing, immuno-TRAP provides powerful opportunities for identifying gene locus associations with potentially any nuclear subcompartment.

Human NDR kinases are rapidly activated by MOB proteins through recruitment to the plasma membrane and phosphorylation.

Project description:Human nuclear Dbf2-related kinases (NDRs) are up-regulated in certain cancer types, yet their precise function(s) and regulatory mechanism(s) still remain to be defined. Here, we show that active (phosphorylated on Thr444) and inactive human NDRs are both mainly cytoplasmic. Moreover, NDR kinases colocalize at the plasma membrane with human MOBs (hMOBs), which are recently described coactivators of human NDR in vitro. Strikingly, membrane targeting of NDR results in a constitutively active kinase due to phosphorylation on Ser281 and Thr444 that is further activated upon coexpression of hMOBs. Membrane-targeted hMOBs also robustly promoted activation of NDR. We further demonstrate that the in vivo activation of human NDR by membrane-bound hMOBs is dependent on their interaction and occurs solely at the membrane. By using a chimeric molecule of hMOB, which allows inducible membrane translocation, we found that NDR phosphorylation and activation at the membrane occur a few minutes after association of hMOB with membranous structures. We provide insight into a potential in vivo mechanism of NDR activation through rapid recruitment to the plasma membrane mediated by hMOBs.

Locus 'decontraction' and centromeric recruitment contribute to allelic exclusion of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene.

Project description:Allelic exclusion of immunoglobulin genes ensures the expression of a single antibody molecule in B cells through mostly unknown mechanisms. Large-scale contraction of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus facilitates rearrangements between Igh variable (V(H)) and diversity gene segments in pro-B cells. Here we show that these long-range interactions are mediated by 'looping' of individual Igh subdomains. The Igk locus also underwent contraction by looping in small pre-B and immature B cells, demonstrating that immunoglobulin loci are in a contracted state in rearranging cells. Successful Igh recombination induced the rapid reversal of locus contraction in response to pre-B cell receptor signaling, which physically separated the distal V(H) genes from the proximal Igh domain, thus preventing further rearrangements. In the absence of locus contraction, only the four most proximal V(H) genes escaped allelic exclusion in immature mu-transgenic B lymphocytes. Pre-B cell receptor signaling also led to rapid repositioning of one Igh allele to repressive centromeric domains in response to downregulation of interleukin 7 signaling. These data link both locus 'decontraction' and centromeric recruitment to the establishment of allelic exclusion at the Igh locus.

Cell cycle-dependent gene networks for cell proliferation activated by nuclear CK2 complexes

Project description:Protein kinase CK2 is a conserved serine/threonine kinase that participates in various cellular processes. Elevated nuclear expression of CK2α has been observed in human carcinomas, but mechanisms for its variable localization in cells are poorly understood. This study demonstrates a functional connection between nuclear CK2 and gene expression in relation to cell proliferation. Growth stimulation of quiescent human fibroblasts identified a pool of CK2 highly phosphorylated at serine 7 of the α subunit that translocated into the nucleus. This phosphorylation appeared essential for its nuclear localization and catalytic activity. Protein signatures associated with nuclear CK2 complexes revealed enrichment of transcription factors and chromatin remodelers that seemed unique during progression through G1 phase of the cell cycle. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing profiling demonstrated recruitment of CK2α to the active gene locus, more abundantly in late G1 phase than in early G1. Notably, we confirmed the presence of CK2α at transcriptional start sites of core histone genes, growth stimulus-associated genes, and ribosomal RNAs. This study suggests that nuclear CK2α complexes, uniquely constituted during cell cycle progression, are essential for cell proliferation, by activating histone genes, triggering ribosome biogenesis, and then synthesize the components necessary for cell division, specified in the nucleus and also in the nucleolus.
