Dynamic chromosomal interactions and control of heterochromatin positioning by Ki-67.

ABSTRACT: Ki-67 is a chromatin-associated protein with a dynamic distribution pattern throughout the cell cycle and is thought to be involved in chromatin organization. The lack of genomic interaction maps has hampered a detailed understanding of its roles, particularly during interphase. By pA-DamID mapping in human cell lines, we find that Ki-67 associates with large genomic domains that overlap mostly with late-replicating regions. Early in interphase, when Ki-67 is present in pre-nucleolar bodies, it interacts with these domains on all chromosomes. However, later in interphase, when Ki-67 is confined to nucleoli, it shows a striking shift toward small chromosomes. Nucleolar perturbations indicate that these cell cycle dynamics correspond to nucleolar maturation during interphase, and suggest that nucleolar sequestration of Ki-67 limits its interactions with larger chromosomes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Ki-67 does not detectably control chromatin-chromatin interactions during interphase, but it competes with the nuclear lamina for interaction with late-replicating DNA, and it controls replication timing of (peri)centromeric regions. Together, these results reveal a highly dynamic choreography of genome interactions and roles for Ki-67 in heterochromatin organization.

Project description:Nuclear lipids play roles in regulatory processes, such as signaling, transcriptional regulation, and DNA repair. In this report, we demonstrate that nuclear lipids may contribute to Ki-67-regulated chromosome integrity during mitosis. In COS-7 cells, nuclear lipids are enriched at the perichromosomal layer and excluded from intrachromosomal regions during early mitosis but are then detected in intrachromosomal regions during late mitosis, as revealed by TT-ExM (expansion microscopy with trypsin digestion and tyramide signal amplification), an improved expansion microscopy technique that enables high-sensitivity and super-resolution imaging of proteins, lipids, and nuclear DNA. The nuclear nonhistone protein Ki-67 acts as a surfactant to form a repulsive molecular brush around fully condensed sister chromatids in early mitosis, preventing the diffusion or penetration of nuclear lipids into intrachromosomal regions. Ki-67 is phosphorylated during mitosis by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), the best-known master regulator of the cell cycle. Both Ki-67 knockdown and reduced Ki-67 phosphorylation by CDK1 inhibitors allow nuclear lipids to penetrate chromosomal regions. Thus, both Ki-67 protein level and phosphorylation status during mitosis appear to influence the perichromosomal distribution of nuclear lipids. Ki-67 knockdown and CDK1 inhibition also lead to uneven chromosome disjunction between daughter cells, highlighting the critical role of this regulatory mechanism in ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Given that Ki-67 has been proposed to promote chromosome individualization and establish chromosome-cytoplasmic compartmentalization during open mitosis in vertebrates, our results reveal that nuclear lipid enrichment at the perichromosomal layer enhances the ability of Ki-67 to form a protective perichromosomal barrier (chromosome envelope), which is critical for correct chromosome segregation and maintenance of genome integrity during mitosis.
