A chromosomal loop anchor mediates bacterial genome organization

ABSTRACT: Nucleoprotein complexes play an integral role in genome organization of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Apart from their role in locally structuring and compacting DNA, several complexes are known to influence global organization by mediating long-range anchored chromosomal loop formation leading to spatial segregation of large sections of DNA. Such megabase (Mb) range interactions are ubiquitous in eukaryotes, but have not been demonstrated in prokaryotes. Here, using a novel genome-wide sedimentation based approach, we found that a transcription factor, Rok, forms large nucleoprotein complexes in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Using chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) and live-imaging of DNA loci, we show that these complexes robustly interact with each other over large distances. Importantly, these Rok dependent long-range interactions lead to anchored chromosomal loop formation, thereby spatially isolating large sections of DNA, as previously observed for insulator proteins in eukaryotes.

The Epigenomic Landscape of Prokaryotes

Project description:DNA methylation is an important regulator of genome function in the eukaryotes, but it is currently unclear if the same is true in prokaryotes. While regulatory functions have been demonstrated for a small number of bacteria, there have been no large-scale studies of prokaryotic methylomes and the full repertoire of targets and biological functions of DNA methylation remains unclear. Here we applied single-molecule, real-time sequencing to directly study the methylomes of 232 phylogenetically diverse prokaryotes. Collectively, we identified 834 methylated motifs, enabling the specific annotation of 415 DNA methyltransferases (MTases), and adding substantially to existing databases of MTase specificities. While the majority of MTases function as components of restriction-modification systems, 139 MTases have no cognate restriction enzyme in the genome, suggesting some other functional role. Several of these âorphanâ MTases are conserved across species and exhibit patterns of DNA methylation consistent with known regulatory MTases. Based on these patterns of methylation, we identify candidate novel regulators of gene expression in several phyla of bacteria, and candidate regulators of DNA replication in Haloarchaea. Together these data substantially advance our knowledge of DNA restriction-modification systems, and hint at a wider role for methylation in prokaryotic genome regulation. Single-molecule, real-time sequencing of DNA modifications across 232 diverse prokaryotic genomes.

DNA copy number measurement of genome replication dynamics by high-throughput sequencing – the sort-seq, sync-seq and MFA-seq family

Project description:Genome replication follows a defined temporal programme that can change during cellular differentiation and disease onset. DNA replication results in an increase in DNA copy number that can be measured by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Here we present a protocol to determine genome replication dynamics using DNA copy number measurements. Cell populations can be obtained in three variants of the method. First, sort-seq uses fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate replicating and non-replicating subpopulations from asynchronous cells. Second, sync-seq uses cell synchronisation to obtain samples before and during DNA replication. Third, marker frequency analysis (MFA-seq) assesses copy number differences in rapidly replicating asynchronous cells. These approaches have been used to reveal genome replication dynamics in prokaryotes, archaea, and a wide range of eukaryotes, including mammalian cells. The whole protocol can be performed in 7-10 days.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Rok-myc and Hbs-myc in Bacillus subtilis

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Rok-myc and Hbs-myc in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:The Rok protein of Bacillus subtilis was identified as a negative regulator of competence development. Here we show that Rok binds to extended areas of the B. subtilis genome that are characterized by a high A+T content and are known or believed to have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer, e.g. mobile elements. A deletion of rok results in higher excision of one such element, ICEBs1. The preferential association of Rok with DNA with a high A+T content is also observed in a Gram-negative host, E. coli, and depends on a conserved C-terminal region of the protein. Based on our findings, we propose that Rok is a nucleoid-associated protein that fulfills a function analogous to H-NS, a protein absent from most Gram-positive bacteria. The genome-wide binding profile of the transcription factor Rok and the nucleoid-binding protein HBsu were determined. Three biological replicates were analyzed per strain (one per array). Binding profiles were determined in exponentially growing cells. Enrichment in immunoprecipitated samples versus total genomic DNA were determined.

single-nucleotide resolution sequencing of N6-methyladenine in E. coli genomes and mammalian mitochondrial DNA

Project description:N6-methyladenine (6mA) is a natural DNA modification and functions primarily in restriction-modification (R-M) systems in prokaryotes. Recent studies uncovered the existence and revealed the genome-wide distribution of 6mA in eukaryotes. Specifically, it was reported that 6mA was mainly enriched in mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and could regulate mitochondrial activity. we achieved the genome-wide mapping of 6mA in E. coli genome and mammalian mtDNA at single-nucleotide resolution.

Massive intein content in Anaeramoeba reveals new aspects of intein mobility in eukaryotes

Project description:Inteins are self-splicing protein elements found in viruses and all three domains of life. How the DNA encoding these selfish elements spreads within and between genomes is poorly understood, particularly in eukaryotes where inteins are scarce. Here we show that the nuclear genomes of three strains of Anaeramoeba encode between 45 and 103 inteins, in stark contrast to four found in the most intein-rich eukaryote described previously. The Anaeramoeba inteins reside in a wide range of proteins, only some of which correspond to intein-containing proteins in other eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses. Our data also suggest that viruses have contributed to the spread of inteins in Anaeramoeba and the colonization of new alleles. The persistence of Anaeramoeba inteins might be partly explained by intragenomic movement of intein-encoding regions from gene to gene. Our intein dataset greatly expands the spectrum of intein-containing proteins and provides insights into the evolution of inteins in eukaryotes.

The structure of a virus-encoded nucleosome

Project description:Eukaryotes and prokaryotes encode proteins with the histone-fold domain, but only eukaryotes are known to encode "core histones" from four distinct families that heterodimerize selectively and uniquely to form nucleosome particles. Some large DNA viruses, including those in Marseilleviridae family encode histones. The presence of histone proteins in viral particles suggests their role in compacting viral genomes but it is not known whether these histones can form higher-order structures like those found in eukaryotes. Here we show that fused histone pairs Hβ-Hα and Hδ-Hγ from Marseillevirus are structurally analogous to the eukaryotic histone pairs H2B-H2A and H3-H4. We further show that they form “forced” heterodimers and that a heterotetramer of four such heterodimers assembles DNA to form structures virtually identical to those of canonical eukaryotic nucleosomes. We characterize these viral structures using cryo-EM to reveal their unprecedented conservation with the nucleosome—one of the most important and conserved features of eukaryotic chromosomes. The structure and properties of these viral nucleosomes hold clues to understanding the origins of eukaryotic chromatin.

Expression profiles of dnaA null, rok null, and dnaA null; rok null mutants

Project description:To identify potential targets of co-regulation by DnaA and Rok, we compared the transcriptional profiles of dnaA null, rok null, and dnaA null rok null mutants. Because a dnaA null mutant requires an oriC- strain background, we used an oriC- oriN+ background for all strains, to allow direct comparisons. We compared biological triplicates for each of the following strains: dnaA null (CAL2074), rok null (CAS196), dnaA null rok null (CAS192), and dnaA+ rok+ (CAL2083; control).
