A role for condensin in mediating transcriptional adaptation to environmental stimuli.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear organisation shapes gene regulation; however, the principles by which three-dimensional genome architecture influences gene transcription are incompletely understood. Condensin is a key architectural chromatin constituent, best known for its role in mitotic chromosome condensation. Yet at least a subset of condensin is bound to DNA throughout the cell cycle. Studies in various organisms have reported roles for condensin in transcriptional regulation, but no unifying mechanism has emerged. Here, we use rapid conditional condensin depletion in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study its role in transcriptional regulation. We observe a large number of small gene expression changes, enriched at genes located close to condensin-binding sites, consistent with a possible local effect of condensin on gene expression. Furthermore, nascent RNA sequencing reveals that transcriptional down-regulation in response to environmental stimuli, in particular to heat shock, is subdued without condensin. Our results underscore the multitude by which an architectural chromosome constituent can affect gene regulation and suggest that condensin facilitates transcriptional reprogramming as part of adaptation to environmental changes.

A role for condensin in mediating transcriptional adaptation to environmental stimuli. [TT-Seq]

Project description:The relationship between chromatin and transcription was investigated through condensin, a key regulator of higher order chromatin structure. We use rapid conditional condensin depletion in nocodozole arrested cells in budding yeast S. cerevisiae cells to study condensin’s role in transcriptional regulation. We use TT-Chemseq to assess global RNA levels through a S. pombe spike-in, and found that condensin depletion leads to upregulation of global transcription. We also found transcriptional changes in response to environmental stimuli are subdued by condensin depletion.

Limited transcriptional responses of Rickettsia rickettsii exposed to environmental stimuli.

Project description:Rickettsiae are strict obligate intracellular pathogens that alternate between arthropod and mammalian hosts in a zoonotic cycle. Typically, pathogenic bacteria that cycle between environmental sources and mammalian hosts adapt to the respective environments by coordinately regulating gene expression such that genes essential for survival and virulence are expressed only upon infection of mammals. Temperature is a common environmental signal for upregulation of virulence gene expression although other factors may also play a role. We examined the transcriptional responses of Rickettsia rickettsii, the agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, to a variety of environmental signals expected to be encountered during its life cycle. R. rickettsii exposed to differences in growth temperature (25 degrees C vs. 37 degrees C), iron limitation, and host cell species displayed nominal changes in gene expression under any of these conditions with only 0, 5, or 7 genes, respectively, changing more than 3-fold in expression levels. R. rickettsii is not totally devoid of ability to respond to temperature shifts as cold shock (37 degrees C vs. 4 degrees C) induced a change greater than 3-fold in up to 56 genes. Rickettsiae continuously occupy a relatively stable environment which is the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. Because of their obligate intracellular character, rickettsiae are believed to be undergoing reductive evolution to a minimal genome. We propose that their relatively constant environmental niche has led to a minimal requirement for R. rickettsii to respond to environmental changes with a consequent deletion of non-essential transcriptional response regulators. A minimal number of predicted transcriptional regulators in the R. rickettsii genome is consistent with this hypothesis.

Role of ERα in Mediating Female Uterine Transcriptional Responses to IGF1.

Project description:Estrogen (E2) signaling through its nuclear receptor, E2 receptor α (ERα) increases insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF1) in the rodent uterus, which then initiates further signals via the IGF1 receptor. Directly administering IGF1 results in similar biological and transcriptional uterine responses. Our studies using global ERα-null mice demonstrated a loss of uterine biological responses of the uterus to E2 or IGF1 treatment, while maintaining transcriptional responses to IGF1. To address this discrepancy in the need for uterine ERα in mediating the IGF1 transcriptional vs growth responses, we assessed the IGF1 transcriptional responses in PgrCre+Esr1f/f (called ERαUtcKO) mice, which selectively lack ERα in progesterone receptor (PGR) expressing cells, including all uterine cells, while maintaining ERα expression in other tissues and cells that do not express Pgr. Additionally, we profiled IGF1-induced ERα binding sites in uterine chromatin using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. Herein, we explore the transcriptional and molecular signaling that underlies our findings to refine our understanding of uterine IGF1 signaling and identify ERα-mediated and ERα-independent uterine transcriptional responses. Defining these mechanisms in vivo in whole tissue and animal contexts provides details of nuclear receptor mediated mechanisms that impact biological systems and have potential applicability to reproductive processes of humans, livestock and wildlife.
