Multiscale structuring of the E. coli chromosome by nucleoid-associated and condensin proteins

ABSTRACT: As in Eukaryotes, bacterial genomes are not randomly folded. Bacterial genetic information is generally carried on a circular chromosome with a single origin of replication from which two replication forks proceed bidirectionaly towards the opposite terminus region. Here we investigate the higher-order architecture of the Escherichia coli genome, showing its partition into two structuraly distinct entities by a complex and intertwined network of contacts: the replication terminus (ter) region and the rest of the chromosome. Outside ter, the condensin MukBEF and the ubiquitous nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) HU promote DNA contacts in the megabase range. Within ter, the MatP protein prevents MukBEF activity and contacts are restricted to ~280 kb creating a domain with distinct structural properties. We also show how other NAPs contribute to nucleoid organization, such as H-NS that restricts short-range interactions. Combined, these results reveal the contributions of major, evolutionary conserved proteins in a bacterial chromosome organization.

Genome-wide analysis of E. coli MukB distribution using ChIP-sequencing

Project description:Paper abstract : The Escherichia coli SMC complex, MukBEF, interacts with the ParC subunit of topoisomerase IV (TopoIV), consistent with sequential roles in chromosome unlinking and segregation. Although clusters of MukBEF molecules are normally associated with the chromosome replication origin region (ori), we demonstrate their association with the replication termination region (ter), which is enhanced when ATP hydrolysis by MukB is impaired. We show that MukBEF interacts in vivo and in vitro with MatP, which binds matS sites in ter. The MatP-MukBEF interaction limits the stable association of MukBEF complexes with ter and the availability of functional TopoIV during decatenation of sister ters. The MukBEF-TopoIV interaction is influenced by the nucleotide state of MukBEF. The combined action of MukBEF and MatP helps position MukBEF clusters in relation to the chromosome, thereby, influencing chromosome organization and segregation. Finally, we demonstrate that the regulated sequential action of TopoIV and MukBEF promotes chromosome decatenation and segregation.

Genome conformation capture reveals that the Escherichia coli chromosome is organized by replication and transcription

Project description:To fit within the confines of the cell, bacterial chromosomes are highly condensed into a structure called the nucleoid. Despite the high degree of compaction in the nucleoid, the genome remains accessible to essential biological processes, such as replication and transcription. Here, we present the first high-resolution chromosome conformation capture-based molecular analysis of the spatial organization of the Escherichia coli nucleoid during rapid growth in rich medium and following an induced amino acid starvation that promotes the stringent response. Our analyses identify the presence of origin and terminus domains in exponentially growing cells. Moreover, we observe an increased number of interactions within the origin domain and significant clustering of SeqA-binding sequences, suggesting a role for SeqA in clustering of newly replicated chromosomes. By contrast, ‘histone-like’ protein (i.e. Fis, IHF and H-NS) binding sites did not cluster, and their role in global nucleoid organization does not manifest through the mediation of chromosomal contacts. Finally, genes that were downregulated after induction of the stringent response were spatially clustered, indicating that transcription in E. coli occurs at transcription foci. A 4 chips study of exponentially growing wild type E. coli strain MG1655 grown in LB rich media or after induction of the stringent response by serine hydroxamate for 30 min. Two technical replicates, Three biological replicates mixed prior hybridization on the chip.

Genome conformation capture reveals that the Escherichia coli chromosome is organized by replication and transcription

The Escherichia coli nucleoid is shaped around replication and transcription [GCC]

Project description:The Escherichia coli nucleoid is confined within a rod shaped cell many times smaller than the outstretched chromosome. While extensive compaction is necessary for this process, the chromosome must at the same time remain accessible to essential cellular processes such as replication and transcription. Currently, the individual contributions of cellular confinement, chromosome topology, replication and transcription on nucleoid organization are not well understood. Here we synchronize E. coli cells in stationary phase, where replication has ceased, each cell contains only one copy of the chromosome, and transcription is minimal. We then release the cells and capture chromosome contacts and transcription immediately following release and through-out one cell cycle. Polymer models of confined and topologically constrained circular polymers revealed that cellular confinement and topology do not contribute extensively to the organization of the E. coli nucleoid. Rather, local nucleoid structure is established concurrent with replication, and higher order organization is formed by the replication dependant clustering of linearly distant SeqA bound sites and cell cycle specific gene transcription.

Transcription factor shapes chromosomal conformation and regulates gene expression in bacterial adaptation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Genomic mutations allow bacteria to adapt rapidly to adverse stress environments. The three-dimensional conformation of the genome also may plays an important role in transcriptional regulation and environmental adaptation. Here, using chromosome conformation capture, we investigate the high-order architecture of the Zymomonas mobilis chromosome in response to genomic mutant and ambient stimuli (acetic acid and furfural, derived from lignocellulosic hydrolysate). We find that genomic mutation only influences the local chromosome contacts, whereas stress of acetic acid and furfural restrict the long-range contacts and change the chromosome organization at domain scales significantly. Further deciphering the domain feature unveils the important transcription factors, Ferric uptake regulation (Fur) proteins, which act as nucleoid-associated proteins to promote long-range (> 200 kb) chromosomal communications and regulate the expression of genes involved in stress response. Our work suggests that ubiquitous transcription factors in prokaryotes mediate chromosome organization and regulate stress-resistance genes in bacterial adaptation. RNA-seq analysis to reveal the regulation process of Fur proteins.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Bacillus subtilis to identify Noc protein binding sites

Project description:Coordination of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis is crucial for efficient cell proliferation. In Bacillus subtilis the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc protects chromosomes by associating with the chromosome and preventing cell division in its vicinity. Using protein localization, ChAP-on-Chip and bioinformatics, we have identified a consensus Noc-binding DNA sequence (NBS), and show that Noc is targeted to about 70 discrete regions scattered around the chromosome, though absent from a large region around the replication terminus. Purified Noc bound specifically to an NBS in vitro. NBSs inserted near the replication terminus bound Noc-YFP and caused a delay in cell division. An autonomous plasmid carrying an NBS recruited Noc-YFP and conferred a severe Noc-dependent inhibition of cell division. This shows that Noc is a potent inhibitor of division but that its activity is strictly localized by interaction with NBS sites in vivo. We propose that Noc not only serves as a spatial regulator of cell division to protect the nucleoid, but also a timing device with an important role in the co-ordination of chromosome segregation and cell division.

Temporal gene expression in Escherichia coli

Project description:In Escherichia coli crosstalk between DNA supercoiling, nucleoid-associated proteins and major RNA polymerase σ initiation factors regulates growth phase-dependent gene transcription. We show that the highly conserved spatial ordering of relevant genes along the chromosomal replichores largely corresponds both to their temporal expression patterns during growth and to an inferred gradient of DNA superhelical density from the origin to the terminus. Genes implicated in similar functions are related mainly in trans across the chromosomal replichores, whereas DNA-binding transcriptional regulators interact predominantly with targets in cis along the replichores. We also demonstrate that macrodomains (the individual structural partitions of the chromosome) are regulated differently. We infer that spatial and temporal variation of DNA superhelicity during the growth cycle coordinates oxygen and nutrient availability with global chromosome structure, thus providing a mechanistic insight into how the organization of a complete bacterial chromosome encodes a spatiotemporal program integrating DNA replication and global gene expression.
