XerD is required to unload bacterial SMC complexes at the replication terminus

ABSTRACT: Bacillus subtilis SMC complexes are topologically loaded at centromeric sites adjacent to the replication origin by the partitioning protein ParB. These ring-shaped ATPases then translocate down the left and right chromosome arms while tethering them together. Here we show that the site-specific recombinase XerD that resolves chromosome dimers is required to unload SMC tethers when they reach the terminus. We identify XerD-specific binding sites in the terminus region and show that they dictate the site of unloading in a manner that depends on XerD but not its catalytic residue, its partner protein XerC, or the recombination site dif. Finally, we provide evidence that ParB and XerD homologs perform similar functions in Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, loading and unloading of SMC complexes are mediated by two broadly conserved factors: one involved in origin segregation, the other in terminus resolution. Similar site-specific unloading activities could modulate eukaryotic SMC complexes during interphase and mitosis.

Bacillus subtilis SMC complexes juxtapose chromosome arms as they travel from origin to terminus

Project description:Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes play critical roles in chromosome dynamics in virtually all organisms but how they function remains poorly understood. In Bacillus subtilis, SMC condensin complexes are topologically loaded at centromeric sites adjacent to the replication origin. Here we provide evidence that these ring-shaped assemblies tether the left and right chromosome arms together while traveling from the origin to the terminus (>2 Mb) at rates >50kb/min. Condensin movement scales linearly with time arguing for an active transport mechanism. These data support a model in which SMC complexes function by processively enlarging DNA loops. Loop formation followed by processive enlargement provides a mechanism for how condensin complexes compact and resolve sister chromatids in mitosis and how cohesin generates topologically associating domains (TADs) during interphase.

The ParB clamp docks onto Smc for DNA loading via a joint-ParB interface

Project description:Chromosomes readily unlink from one another and segregate to daughter cells during cell division highlighting a remarkable ability of cells to organize long DNA molecules. SMC complexes mediate chromosome folding by DNA loop extrusion. In most bacteria, SMC complexes start loop extrusion at the ParB/parS partition complex formed near the replication origin. Whether they are recruited by recognizing a specific DNA structure in the partition complex or a protein component is unknown. By replacing genes in Bacillus subtilis with orthologous sequences from Streptococcus pneumoniae, we show that the three subunits of the bacterial Smc complex together with the ParB protein form a functional module that can organize and segregate chromosomes when transplanted into another organism. Using chimeric proteins and chemical cross-linking, we find that ParB binds to the Smc subunit directly. We map a binding interface to the Smc joint and the ParB CTP-binding domain. Structure prediction indicates how the ParB clamp presents DNA to the Smc complex to initiate DNA loop extrusion.

Effect of Smc and interaction with ParA on ParB binding to DNA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:In the majority of bacterial species, the tripartite ParAB-parS system, composed of an ATPase (ParA), a DNA-binding protein (ParB), and its target parS sequence(s), assists in the chromosome partitioning. ParB forms large nucleoprotein complexes at parS(s), located in the vicinity of oriC, which after replication are subsequently relocated by ParA to polar positions. It was shown that ParB-parS complexes are loading platforms for structural maintenance of chromosome (Smc) proteins, which juxtapose the two arms of the circular chromosome. In this work, we characterized the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ParB interactions with DNA in the absence of Smc and interaction with the cognate ParA using chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIPseq). We show that in strains lacking Smc or strains with disturbed ParB-ParA interactions (ParA L84K or ParB G11A mutations) ParB is able to bind and spread around parS1-4 cluster and still binds to half-parS sites. Comparison of the ratio between the number of ChIP-seq reads mapping to region around parS1-4 with those mapping to ChIPseq peaks containing half-parSs indicate no major effect of the twod factors on the extent of ParB spreading, thus suggesting that the mechanisms controlling ParB association with the DNA do not involve interaction with cognate ParA partner and Smc.

Chromosome remodelling by SMC/Condensin in B. subtilis is regulated by Soj/ParA during growth and sporulation

Project description:SMC complexes, loaded at ParB-parS sites, are key mediators of chromosome organization in bacteria. ParA/Soj proteins interact with ParB/Spo0J in a pathway involving ATP-dependent dimerization and DNA binding, leading to chromosome segregation and SMC loading. In Bacillus subtilis, ParA/Soj also regulates DNA replication initiation, and along with ParB/Spo0J is involved in cell cycle changes during endospore formation. The first morphological stage in sporulation is the formation of an elongated chromosome structure called an axial filament. We now show that a major redistribution of SMC complexes drives axial filament formation, in a process regulated by ParA/Soj. Unexpectedly, this regulation is dependent on monomeric forms of ParA/Soj that cannot bind DNA or hydrolyse ATP. These results reveal a new role for ParA/Soj proteins in the regulation of SMC dynamics in bacteria, and yet further complexity in the web of interactions involving chromosome replication, segregation, and organization, controlled by ParAB and SMC.

SMC progressively aligns chromosomal arms in Caulobacter crescentus but is antagonized by convergent transcription

Project description:The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complex plays an important role in chromosome organization and segregation in most living organisms. In Caulobacter crescentus, SMC is required to align the left and the right arms of the chromosome that run in parallel down the long axis of the cell. However, the mechanism of SMC-mediated alignment of chromosomal arms remains elusive. Here, using genome-wide methods and microscopy of single cells, we show that Caulobacter SMC is recruited to the centromeric parS site and that SMC-mediated arm alignment depends on the chromosome partitioning protein ParB. We provide evidence that SMC likely tethers the parS-proximal regions of the chromosomal arms together, promoting arm alignment. Furthermore, we show that highly-transcribed genes near parS that are oriented against SMC translocation disrupt arm alignment, suggesting that head-on transcription interferes with SMC translocation. Our results demonstrate a tight interdependence of bacterial chromosome organization and global patterns of transcription.
