Centromeres license the mitotic condensation of yeast chromosome arms

ABSTRACT: During mitosis, chromatin condensation shapes chromosomes as separate, rigid and compacted sister-chromatids to facilitate their segregation. Here, we show that unlike wild type yeast chromosomes, non-chromosomal DNA circles and chromosomes lacking a centromere fail to condense during mitosis. Genetics and ChIP-seq experiments establish that the centromere functions in chromosome condensation upstream of the kinases Aurora B and Bub1. Downstream of Aurora B and Bub1, Shugoshin and the deacetylase Hst2 facilitated spreading of the condensation signal from the pericentromeric region to the chromosome arms. Targeting Aurora B to DNA circles or centromere-ablated chromosomes, or releasing Shugoshin from PP2A-dependent inhibition bypassed the centromere requirement for condensation and enhanced the mitotic stability of DNA circles. Our data indicate that yeast cells license in a centromere-dependent manner the chromosome-autonomous condensation of their chromatin, excluding non-centromeric DNA from this process and thereby inhibiting their propagation.

Bub1 and CENP-U redundantly recruit Plk1 to stabilize kinetochore-microtubule attachments and ensure accurate chromosome segregation

Project description:Bub1 is required for the kinetochore/centromere localization of two essential mitotic kinases Plk1 and Aurora B. Surprisingly, stable depletion of Bub1 by ~95% in human cells marginally affects whole chromosome segregation fidelity. We show that CENP-U, which is recruited to kinetochores by the CENP-P and CENP-Q subunits of the CENP-O complex, is required to prevent chromosome mis-segregation in Bub1-depleted cells. Mechanistically, Bub1 and CENP-U redundantly recruit Plk1 to kinetochores to stabilize kinetochore-microtubule attachments, thereby ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Furthermore, unlike its budding yeast homolog, the CENP-O complex does not regulate centromeric localization of Aurora B. Consistently, depletion of Bub1 or CENP-U sensitizes cells to the inhibition of Plk1 but not Aurora B kinase activity. Taken together, our findings provide mechanistic insight into the regulation of kinetochore function, which may have implications for targeted treatment of cancer cells with mutations perturbing kinetochore recruitment of Plk1 by Bub1 or the CENP-O complex.

Aurora A kinase phosphorylates Hec1 to regulate metaphase kinetochore-microtubule dynamics.

Project description:Precise regulation of kinetochore-microtubules is essential for successful chromosome segregation. Central to this regulation is Aurora B kinase, which phosphorylates kinetochore substrates to promote microtubule turnover. A critical target of Aurora B is the N-terminal “tail” domain of Hec1/NDC80, which is a component of the NDC80 complex, a force-transducing link between kinetochores and microtubules. While Aurora B is regarded as the “master regulator” of kinetochore-microtubule attachment, it is likely that other mitotic kinases contribute to Hec1phosphorylation. Here we show that Aurora A kinase phosphorylates the tail domain of Hec1 at Serine 69, a previously uncharacterized phosphorylation target site, and plays an important role in controlling kinetochore-microtubule attachment dynamics. Using phospho-specific antibodies, Hec1 phospho-deficient mutants, and kinase inhibitors, we demonstrate that Aurora A is required for the regulation of kinetochore-microtubule dynamics of metaphase chromosomes and identify Hec1 Serine 69 as a critical Aurora A substrate for this regulation. Additionally, we demonstrate that Aurora A kinase associates with INCENP during mitosis and that INCENP is competent to drive accumulation of the kinase to the centromere region of mitotic chromosomes. These findings reveal that both Aurora A and Aurora B contribute to kinetochore-microtubule attachment dynamics, and they uncover an unexpected role for Aurora A in mitosis.

Cohesin removal reprograms mitotic gene expression upon mitotic entry [RNA-seq II]

Project description:During mitosis, the genome is restructured to facilitate chromosome segregation, accompanied by dramatic changes in gene expression. However, the mechanisms that underlie mitotic transcriptional regulation are unclear. In contrast to transcribed genes, centromere regions retain transcriptionally active RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) in mitosis. Here, we demonstrate that chromosome-localized cohesin is necessary and sufficient to retain active RNAPII on mitotic centromeres. Failure to remove cohesin from mitotic chromosome arms dramatically alters mitotic gene expression, and results in a failure to release elongating RNAPII and nascent transcripts from mitotic chromosomes. We propose that prophase cohesin removal is the key step in reprogramming gene expression as cells transition from G2 to mitosis, and is temporally coupled with chromosome condensation to coordinate chromosome segregation with changes in gene expression.

IDENTIFICATION OF SUMO-2/3 MODIFIED PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH MITOTIC CHROMOSOMES

Project description:Sumoylation is essential for progression through mitosis, but the specific protein targets and functions remain poorly understood. In this study, we used chromosome spreads to more precisely define the localization of SUMO-2/3 to the inner-centromere and protein scaffold of mitotic chromosomes. We also developed methods to immune-purify proteins modified by endogenous, untagged SUMO-2/3 from mitotic chromosomes. Using these methods we identified 149 chromosome associated SUMO-2/3 substrates by nLC-ESI-MS/MS. Approximately one-third of the identified proteins have reported functions in mitosis. Consistent with SUMO-2/3 immunolocalization, we identified known centromere and kinetochore associated proteins, as well as chromosome scaffold associated proteins. Notably, >30 proteins involved in chromatin modification or remodeling were identified. Our results provide insights into the roles of sumoylation as a regulator of chromatin structure and other diverse processes in mitosis. Furthermore, our purification and fractionation methodologies represent an important compliment to existing approaches to identify sumoylated proteins using exogenously expressed and tagged SUMOs.

Loss of H3K9 tri-methylation alters mitotic chromosome compaction and transcription factor retention during mitosis

Project description:Recent studies have shown that repressive chromatin machinery, including DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and Polycomb Repressor Complexes (PRCs), bind to chromosomes throughout mitosis and their depletion results in increased chromosome size. Enzymes that catalyse H3K9 methylation, such as Suv39h1, Suv39h2, G9a, GLP are also retained by mitotic chromosomes. Surprisingly however, mutants lacking H3K9me3 have unusually small and compact mitotic chromosomes that are associated with increased H3S10ph and H3K27me3 levels. Chromosome size and centromere compaction in these mutants was rescued by providing exogenous Suv39h1, or inhibiting Ezh2 activity. Quantitative proteomic comparisons of native mitotic chromosomes isolated from wildtype versus Suv39h1,2 double null ESCs revealed that H3K9me3 was essential for the efficient retention of bookmarking factors such as Esrrb. These results highlight an unexpected role for repressive heterochromatin domains in preserving transcription factor binding through mitosis, and underscore the importance of H3K9me3 for sustaining chromosome architecture and epigenetic memory during cell division.

Condensin-mediated remodeling of the mitotic chromatin landscape in fission yeast

Project description:Chromatin fibres dynamically change their organisation during cell cycle. In interphase nucleus, chromatin fibres are evenly distributed whereas their spatial occupancy are reorganised to form condensed chromosomes in mitosis. This process called chromosome condensation is necessary for an accomplishment of faithful chromosome segregation. One of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes complexes, Condensin, is indispensable for chromosome condensation. It remains, however, unknown how Condensin plays its role in shaping mitotic chromosome. Here we show that chromatin fibres change their interacting partners; short-range contacts in interphase nucleus are converted into long-range interactions to shape condensed chromosomes. This conversion of interactions among chromatin fibres results in the formation of larger domains within mitotic chromosomes. Condensin is solely in charge of the conversion and large domain formation in fission yeast mitosis. Our results show how fission yeast Condensin is involved in shaping mitotic chromosomes.
