Genome-wide maps of heterochromatin state (H3K9me2) in kinetochore and other centromere related mutants.

ABSTRACT: We report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By obtaining 1-10 ng immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide H3K9me2 maps of fission yeast mutants with either deletions of non-essential kinetochore genes or conditional inactivation (temperature sensitive, ts) mutations in essential ones. We find that the impairment of the kinetochore componnets cause various levels (from no to prominent) of heterochroamatin spreading into centromeric core regions. Hence, we conclude that the integrity of the inner kinetochore is required to maintain normal centromeric chromatin organization as well as distinct centromere identity.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state (heterochromatin H3K9me2 or centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A/Cnp1) in both mhf2∆ and mhf2+ carrying the inactivated Centromere 1 or Centromere 2.

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) or histone variant CNEP-A/Cnp1 in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By obtaining 1-10 ng immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide H3K9me2 or CENP-A/Cnp1 maps of both mhf2∆ and mhf2+ carrying the inactivated Centromere 1 or Centromere 2 in fission yeast. We find that neocemtromeres are formed preferably at pericentromeric regions in single depletion of CENP-T-W-X-S.

CENP-A chaperone Scm3HJURP contains a cysteine-rich domain required for centromere targeting and kinetochore integrity

Project description:Centromeric chromatin is crucial for supporting kinetochore assembly and chromosome segregation. To specify centromeres, the histone H3 variant CENP-A is loaded by the conserved chaperone Scm3/HJURP. The amino-terminus of Scm3/HJURP interacts with CENP-A, while the carboxyl-terminus contains a small domain that interacts with the Mis18 holocomplex, which facilitates centromere localization. Fungal Scm3 proteins contain an additional conserved cysteine-rich domain (CYS) with unknown function. In this study, we found that CYS is essential for the localization and function of fission yeast Scm3. Disrupting CYS prevents Scm3 from localizing to the centromere and results in cell lethality. Moreover, introducing point mutations in a predicted zinc-binding motif within CYS hinders Scm3 centromere targeting and kinetochore integrity, consistent with structural evidence that CYS binds zinc. We find that expressing only the Scm3 carboxyl-terminus is harmful as it localizes to centromeres and causes defective kinetochores. Remarkably, mutating the CYS zinc-binding motif in this construct eliminates the observed centromere localization and toxicity. Together, our findings establish this cysteine-rich domain with predicted zinc-binding capability as an essential feature of fungal Scm3 proteins and shed new light on the molecular mechanism for targeting Scm3 to centromeres.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state (H3K9me2 or CENP-A/Cnp1) in wt strains carrying the inactivated Centromere 1 or 2 or Cnp1 spreading with ura4 inserted into the right side of the repetitive sequences of Chromosome 1 (designated as otr1R::ura4)

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) or histone variant CNEP-A/Cnp1 in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By obtaining 1-10 ng immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide H3K9me2 or CENP-A/Cnp1 maps of wild type strains carrying the inactivated Centromere 1 or Centromere 2 or Cnp1 spreading in fission yeast with a reporter gene ura4 cassette inserted into the right side of the repetitive sequences of Chromosome 1 . We find that neocemtromeres are formed preferably at pericentromeric regions ubiquitously and asymmetrically in all three centromeres of these indicated strains.

Genome-wide H3K9me2 mapping in single deletions of the selected chromatin modulating genes, histone H3 mutants and ccp1Δepe1Δ double mutant

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of H3K9me2 in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By obtaining 1-10 ng immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide H3K9me2 maps in single deletions of the selected chromatin modulating genes, histone H3 mutants and ccp1Δepe1Δ double mutant in fission yeast. We find that the subtelomeric heterochromatin distribution is highly variable under different genetic perturbations and small heterochromatin islands are formed at clr4 and clr2 loci in ccp1Δepe1Δ.

Heat-shock molecular chaperone Hsp90 is involved in heterochromatin assembly in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Project description:Here, we report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We generated genome-wide H3K9me2 maps of fission yeast mutants in swo1-26 (temperature sensitive, ts) cells at 25℃ and 37℃. We find that H3K9me2 enrichment at heterochromatin regions, especially at the mating-type locus and subtelomeres, is compromised, suggesting heterochromatin assembly defects.

Retrotransposon addiction promotes centromere function via epigenetically activated small RNAs

Project description:Retrotransposons have invaded eukaryotic centromeres in cycles of repeat expansion and purging, but the function of centromeric retrotransposons, if any, has remained unclear. In Arabidopsis, centromeric ATHILA retrotransposons give rise to epigenetically activated short interfering RNAs (easiRNAs) in mutants in DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION1 (DDM1), which promote histone H3 lysine-9 di-methylation (H3K9me2). Here, we show that mutants which lose both DDM1 and RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) have pleiotropic developmental defects and mis-segregation of chromosome 5 during mitosis. Fertility defects are epigenetically inherited with the centromeric region of chromosome 5, and can be rescued by directing artificial small RNAs to a single family of ATHILA5 retrotransposons specifically embedded within this centromeric region. easiRNAs and H3K9me2 promote pericentromeric condensation, chromosome cohesion and proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. Insertion of ATHILA silences transcription, while simultaneously making centromere function dependent on retrotransposon small RNAs, promoting the selfish survival and spread of centromeric retrotransposons. Parallels are made with the fission yeast S. pombe, where chromosome segregation depends on RNAi, and with humans, where chromosome segregation depends on both RNAi and HELLSDDM1.
