Parasitic plasmids are anchored to inactive regions of eukaryotic chromosomes through a nucleosome signal [Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: Natural plasmids are common in prokaryotes, but few have been documented in eukaryotes. The natural 2µ plasmid present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of these best-characterized exceptions. This highly stable genetic element has coexisted with its host for millions of years, faithfully segregating at each cell division through a mechanism that remains unclear. Using proximity ligation methods (such as Hi-C, Micro-C) to map the contacts between 2µ plasmid and yeast chromosomes under dozens of different biological conditions, we found that the plasmid is tethered preferentially to regions with low transcriptional activity, often corresponding to long, inactive genes. These contacts do not depend on common chromosome-structuring factors, such as members of the structural maintenance of chromosome complexes (SMC) but depend on a nucleosome-encoded signal associated with RNA Pol II depletion. They appear stable throughout the cell cycle and can be established within minutes. This chromosome hitchhiking strategy may extend beyond the 2µ plasmid/S. cerevisiae pair, as suggested by the binding pattern of the natural eukaryotic plasmid Ddp5 along silent chromosome regions of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.

The selfish yeast plasmid exploits a SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodeling complex for hitchhiking on chromosomes and ensuring high-fidelity propagation

Project description:Extra-chromosomal selfish DNA elements can evade the risk of being lost at every generation by behaving as chromosome appendages, thereby ensuring high fidelity segregation and stable persistence in host cell populations. The yeast 2-micron plasmid and episomes of the mammalian gammaherpes and papilloma viruses that tether to chromosomes and segregate by hitchhiking on them exemplify this strategy. We document for the first time the utilization of a SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodeling complex as a conduit for chromosome association by a selfish element. One principal mechanism for chromosome tethering by the 2-micron plasmid is the bridging interaction of the plasmid partitioning proteins (Rep1 and Rep2) with the yeast RSC2 complex and the plasmid partitioning locus STB. We substantiate this model by multiple lines of evidence derived from genomics, cell biology and interaction analyses. We describe a Rep-STB bypass system in which a plasmid engineered to non-covalently associate with the RSC complex mimics segregation by chromosome hitchhiking. Given the ubiquitous prevalence of SWI/SNF family chromatin remodeling complexes among eukaryotes, it is likely that the 2-micron plasmid paradigm or analogous ones will be encountered among other eukaryotic selfish elements.

Polycomb Group proteins are retained at specific sites on chromatin in mitosis

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of gene expression, including by Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins, may depend on heritable chromatin states but how these states can be propagated through mitosis is unclear. Using immunofluorescence and biochemical fractionation, we find PcG proteins associated with mitotic chromosomes in Drosophila S2 cells. Genome-wide sequencing of chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP-SEQ) from mitotic cells indicates that Posterior Sex Combs (PSC) and Polyhomeotic (PH) are not present at well-characterized PcG targets including Hox genes in mitosis, but do remain at 11% of their interphase sites. 26% of interphase PSC sites overlap with recently described chromatin domain borders (Sexton et al., 2012), which are genomic regions characterized by low levels of long range contacts. PSC and PH are preferentially retained at these sites in mitosis, including borders flanking both Hox gene clusters. We hypothesize that disruption of long range chromatin contacts in mitosis contributes to PcG protein release from most sites, while persistent binding at sites with minimal long range contacts may nucleate re-establishment of PcG binding and chromosome organization after mitosis. Drosophila S2 cells were colchicine-treated and stained with anti-H3S10p antibody and FACS sorted to give mitotic samples. In parallel asynchronous Drosophila S2 cell cultures were stained for anti-H3 antibody and FACS sorted to give control samples. Chromatin from each of these sorted populations was immunoprecipitated using biotinylated antibodies against PSC. Two replicates of these samples are included. A stable Drosophila S2 cell line expressing biotin-tagged PH was also FACS sorted as above to give mitotic and control samples, and streptavidin-coated beads were used to pulldown biotinlyated PH. Inputs are included for each sample.

Spatial organisation of the X inactivation center

Project description:We report the application of Chromosome Conformation Capture Carbon-copy (5C) to a 4.5 Mb stretch of the mouse X chromosome encompassing the X inactivation center locus. We uncover a series of discrete 200kb-1Mb topologically associating domains (TADs). These align with several domain-wide epigenomic features as well as co-regulated gene clusters. 5C analysis in EED and G9A mutants reveal that this segmental organisation in TADs does not relie on the underlying H3K27me3 or H3K9me2 blocks. Deletion of a boundary between two TADs leads to ectopic chromosomal contacts between them. Analysis of mESCs, mNPCs and MEFs suggest that the positioning of TADs on the chromosome is stable during cell differentiation though their internal organisation changes. Comparison of male (XY) and female (XX) differentiated cells highlights that the long-range chromosomal contacts within TADs are dampened on the inactive X compared to the active X. 5C oligonucleotides were designed around HindIII restriction site following an alternative scheme

Organization and replicon interactions within the highly segmented Borrelia burgdorferi genome

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, a causative agent of Lyme disease, contains the most segmented bacterial genome known to date, with one linear chromosome and over twenty plasmids. How this unusually complex genome is organized, and whether and how the different replicons interact are unclear. We recently demonstrated that B. burgdorferi is polyploid and the copies of the chromosome and plasmids are regularly spaced in each cell, which is critical for faithful segregation of the genome to daughter cells. Regular spacing of the chromosome is regulated by two separate partitioning systems (parBS and parAZ) and the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein. Here, using chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), we characterized the conformation of the B. burgdorferi genome and the interactions between the replicons. We uncovered that although the linear chromosome lacks contacts between the two replication arms, the two telomeres are in frequent contact. Moreover, several plasmids specifically interact with the chromosome oriC region, and a subset of plasmids interact with each other more than with others. We found that SMC and the SMC-like MksB protein mediate long-range interactions on the chromosome, but they minimally affect plasmid-chromosome or plasmid-plasmid interactions. Finally, we found that disruption of the two partition systems leads to chromosome restructuring, correlating with the mis-positioning of chromosome oriC. Altogether, this study revealed the conformation of a complex genome and analyzed the contribution of the partition systems and SMC family proteins to this organization. This work expands the understanding of the organization and maintenance of multipartite bacterial genomes.

Chromatin structure changes upon oxidative stress or UV irradiation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Development of molecular approaches based on chromosome conformation capture (3C) technology such as Hi-C, combined with methods for modeling and interpreting chromatin interaction data, have revolutionized the analysis of chromosome folding. Even if the impact of chromatin structure on gene expression seems likely, little is known about the dynamics of DNA compaction and the factors involved in this process still have to be determined. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model, we used Hi-C technology to evaluate how 3D chromatin structure changes during different cellular processes such as adaptation in response to stress or DNA repair. We optimized the protocol from Belton, J.M et al (1) to produce our Hi-C libraries, one from control cells, one from cells after oxidative stress and one from cells after UV irradiation. Preliminary analysis suggests that in response to oxidative stress, chromosomes tend to make more contacts in trans and less contacts in cis compared to normal condition.
