Project description:A large number of transcription factors have been shown to bind and interact with mitotic chromosomes, which may promote the efficient reactivation of transcriptional programs following cell division. Although the DNA-binding domain (DBD) contributes strongly to TF behavior, the mitotic behaviors of TFs from the same DBD family may vary. To define the mechanisms governing TF behavior during mitosis in mouse embryonic stem cells, we examined two related TFs: Heat Shock Factor 1 and 2 (HSF1 and HSF2). We found that HSF2 maintains site-specific binding genome-wide during mitosis, whereas HSF1 binding is somewhat decreased. Surprisingly, live-cell imaging shows that both factors appear excluded from mitotic chromosomes to the same degree, and are similarly more dynamic in mitosis than in interphase. Exclusion from mitotic DNA is not due to extrinsic factors like nuclear import and export mechanisms. Rather, we found that the HSF DBDs can coat mitotic chromosomes, and that HSF2 DBD is able to establish site-specific binding. These data further confirm that site-specific binding and chromosome coating are independent properties, and that for some TFs, mitotic behavior is largely determined by the non-DBD regions.

Project description:Heat shock activates the transcription of arrays of Satellite III (SatIII) DNA repeats in the pericentromeric heterochromatic domains of specific human chromosomes, the longest of which is on chromosome 9. Long non-coding SatIII RNAs remain associated with transcription sites where they form nuclear stress bodies or nSBs. The biology of SatIII RNAs is still poorly understood. Here, we show that SatIII RNAs and nSBs are detectable up to four days after thermal stress and are linked to defects in chromosome behavior during mitosis. Heat shock perturbs the execution of mitosis. Cells reaching mitosis during the first 3 h of recovery accumulate in pro-metaphase. During the ensuing 48 h, this block is no longer detectable; however, a significant fraction of mitoses shows chromosome segregation defects. Notably, most of lagging chromosomes and chromosomal bridges are bound to nSBs and contain arrays of SatIII DNA. Disappearance of mitotic defects at the end of day 2 coincides with the processing of long non-coding SatIII RNAs into a ladder of small RNAs associated with chromatin and ranging in size from 25 to 75 nt. The production of these molecules does not rely on DICER and Argonaute 2 components of the RNA interference apparatus. Thus, massive transcription of SatIII DNA may contribute to chromosomal instability.

Project description:The extreme length of chromosomal DNA requires organizing mechanisms to both promote functional genetic interactions and ensure faithful chromosome segregation when cells divide. Microscopy and genome wide contact frequency (Hi-C) analyses indicate that intra-chromosomal looping of DNA is a primary pathway of chromosomal organization during all stages of the cell cycle (Dekker, J. & Mirny, L. . Cell 164, 1110–1121 (2016). Although the enzymatic pathways required for DNA loop formation are yet to be fully characterized, the activity of the SMC family of proteins has been consistently associated with this process in interphase and mitosis. Here we use Hi-C to study the reorganization of budding yeast chromosome conformation in early mitosis and the role of SMCs in this process. Using polymer simulations, we find that the differences between interphase and mitotic Hi-C maps can be explained by the formation of intra-chromosomal (cis-) loops in mitotic chromosomes. We demonstrate that mitotic SMC cohesin activity is required for formation of cis-loops, independently of sister-chromatid cohesion. In contrast, SMC condensin is not required for loop formation in these early mitotic cells. Rather condensin activity promotes distinct higher order structures in the chromosomes at centromeres and in the rDNA proximal regions. Thus we demonstrate that cohesin-dependent cis-loops provide the primary higher order organization of budding yeast mitotic chromosomes, independently of condensin and sister chromatid cohesion.

Project description:During mitosis, transcription of genomic DNA is dramatically reduced, before its reactivation occurs during nuclear reformation in anaphase/telophase. Many aspects of the underlying principles that mediate transcriptional memory and reactivation in the daughter cells remain unclear. Here, we used ChIP-seq on synchronized cells at different stages after mitosis to generate genome-wide maps of histone modifications. In combination with EU-RNA-seq and Hi-C analyses, we show that, during prometaphase, promoters, enhancers, and insulators retain H3K4me3 and H3K4me1, while losing H3K27ac. Enhancers harboring mitotic H3K4me1 are associated with cell type-specific transcription factor motifs and mitotic activation of cell identity genes. As cells exit mitosis, promoters regain H3K27ac, which correlates with transcriptional reactivation. Insulators also gain H3K27ac and CCCTC binding factors (CTCF) in anaphase/telophase. This increase may play a role in the establishment of topologically associating domains (TADs). Together, our results show that the genome is reorganized in sequential order, in which histone methylations occur first in prometaphase, histone acetylation and CTCF in anaphase/telophase, transcription in cytokinesis, and long-range chromatin interactions in early G1. Our results provide insights into the histone modification landscape that allows faithful reestablishment of the transcriptional program and TADs during cell division.

Project description:Genome/chromosome organization is highly ordered and controls nuclear events. Here, we show that the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the Cnd2 kleisin subunit of condensin to mediate interphase and mitotic chromosome organization in fission yeast. TBP recruits condensin onto RNA polymerase III-transcribed (Pol III) genes and highly transcribed Pol II genes; condensin in turn associates these genes with centromeres. Inhibition of the Cnd2-TBP interaction disrupts condensin localization across the genome and the proper assembly of mitotic chromosomes, leading to severe defects in chromosome segregation and eventually causing cellular lethality. We propose that the Cnd2-TBP interaction coordinates transcription with chromosomal architecture by linking dispersed gene loci with centromeres. This chromosome arrangement can contribute to the efficient transmission of physical force at the kinetochore to chromosomal arms, thereby supporting the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Genome-wide distributions of condensin and Pol III factors in fission yeast.
