Project description:Type II topoisomerases (topos) are a ubiquitous and essential class of enzymes that form transient enzyme-bound double-stranded breaks on DNA called cleavage complexes. The location and frequency of these cleavage complexes on DNA is important for cellular function, genomic stability, and a number of clinically important anticancer and antibacterial drugs, e.g., quinolones. We developed a simple high-accuracy end-sequencing (SHAN-seq) method to sensitively map type II topo cleavage complexes on DNA in vitro. Using SHAN-seq, we detected Escherichia coli gyrase and topoisomerase IV cleavage complexes at hundreds of sites on supercoiled pBR322 DNA, approximately one site every ten bp, with frequencies that varied by two-to-three orders of magnitude. These sites included previously identified sites and 20-50 fold more new sites. We show that the location and frequency of cleavage complexes at these sites are enzyme-specific and vary substantially in the presence of the quinolone, ciprofloxacin, but not with DNA supercoil chirality, i.e., negative vs. positive supercoiling. SHAN-seq’s exquisite sensitivity provides an unprecedented single-nucleotide resolution view of the distribution of gyrase and topoisomerase IV cleavage complexes on DNA. Moreover, the discovery that these enzymes can cleave DNA at orders of magnitude more sites than the relatively few previously known sites resolves the apparent paradox of how these enzymes resolve topological problems throughout the genome.

Project description:Analysis of topoisomerase function in bacterial replication fork movement: use of DNA microarrays. We used DNA microarrays of the Escherichia coli genome to trace the progression of chromosomal replication forks in synchronized cells. We found that both DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) promote replication fork progression. When both enzymes were inhibited, the replication fork stopped rapidly. The elongation rate with topo IV alone was 1/3 of normal. Genetic data confirmed and extended these results. Inactivation of gyrase alone caused a slow stop of replication. Topo IV activity was sufficient to prevent accumulation of (+) supercoils in plasmid DNA in vivo, suggesting that topo IV can promote replication by removing (+) supercoils in front of the chromosomal fork.

Project description:Topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) is the main decatenation enzyme in Escherichia coli; it removes catenation links that are formed during DNA replication. Topo IV binding and cleavage sites were previously identified in the E. coli genome with ChIP-Seq and NorfIP. Here, we used a more sensitive, single-nucleotide resolution Topo-Seq procedure to identify Topo IV cleavage sites (TCSs) genome-wide. We detected thousands of TCSs scattered in the bacterial genome. The determined cleavage motif of Topo IV contained previously known cleavage determinants (-4G/+8C, -2A/+6 T, -1 T/+5A) and additional, not observed previously, positions -7C/+11G and -6C/+10G. TCSs were depleted in the Ter macrodomain except for two exceptionally strong non-canonical cleavage sites located in 33 and 38 bp from the XerC-box of the dif-site. Topo IV cleavage activity was increased in Left and Right macrodomains flanking the Ter macrodomain and was especially high in the 50-60 kb region containing the oriC origin of replication. Topo IV enrichment was also increased downstream of highly active transcription units, indicating that the enzyme is involved in relaxation of transcription-induced positive supercoiling.

Project description:An important antibiotic target, DNA gyrase is an essential bacterial enzyme that introduces negative supercoils into DNA and relaxes positive supercoils accumulating in front of moving DNA and RNA polymerases. By altering the superhelical density, gyrase may regulate expression of bacterial genes. The information about how gyrase is distributed along genomic DNA and whether its distribution is affected by drugs is scarce. During catalysis, gyrase cleaves both DNA strands forming a covalently bound intermediate. By exploiting the ability of several topoisomerase poisons to stabilize this intermediate we developed a ChIP-Seq-based approach to locate, with single nucleotide resolution, DNA gyrase cleavage sites (GCSs) throughout the Escherichia coli genome. We identified an extended gyrase binding motif with phased 10-bp G/C content variation, indicating that bending ability of DNA contributes to gyrase binding. We also found that GCSs are enriched in extended regions located downstream of highly transcribed operons. Transcription inhibition leads to redistribution of gyrase suggesting that the enrichment is functionally significant. Our method can be applied for precise mapping of prokaryotic and eukaryotic type II topoisomerases cleavage sites in a variety of organisms and paves the way for future studies of various topoisomerase inhibitors.

Project description:Dosage compensation refers to the equalization of most X-linked gene products between males and females. In Drosophila, it is mediated by the MSL complex that preferentially associates with numerous sites on the X chromosome in somatic cells of males, and is responsible for an enhancement of the transcriptional rate of a substantial number of X-linked genes. Here we show that topoisomerase II (Topo II) is an integral part of the mechanistic basis of dosage compensation and we highlight a novel function for this enzyme. A widely accepted model of transcription postulates that the moving bubble generated by an RNA polymerase elongating complex induces positive DNA supercoiling in the region ahead of the complex and negative supercoiling in its wake. These transitory changes in supercoiling are resolved by the action of topoisomerases. We have investigated the role of Topo II in dosage compensation by RNAi-mediated depletion, and we have used chromatin immunoprecipitation to determine its genomic distribution and relative abundance on X-linked genes. Topo II is enriched on dosage compensated genes and this enrichment is independent from the approximate two-fold enhancement in transcription of these genes. We have demonstrated an RNA-dependent association of Topo II with MLE, the ATPase-helicase subunit of the MSL complex. Our results indicate a role for Topo II that is additional to and different from its function in restoring normal DNA superhelicity during the transcription process. We suggest that the enhanced level of Topo II alters the DNA supercoiling of compensated gene units to facilitate transcription and could provide a basis for the recent report that the MSL complex enhances transcription by increasing the rate of elongation of RNA polymerase II. Investigation of dosage compensated gene expression levels in S2 and S2 Topo II RNAi knockdown cells. mRNA was isolated from S2 cells and S2 cells with RNAi knockdown of Topo II. The mRNA was then converted to cDNA and hybridized to a NimbleGen D. melanogaster gene expression array. 2 replicates each.
