Restriction mechanism of peri-centromeric DNA loop expansion necessary to ensure accurate chromosome segregation [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Centromeres in budding yeast are surrounded by ~10-kb DNA loops generated by the cohesin complex. These peri-centromeric loops are shown to play a role in faithful chromosome segregation. It remains not fully understood how the dynamics of the peri-centromeric loops are controlled. Here we found that gene deletion of two cohesin regulators, Wpl1 and Eco1, resulted in larger peri-centromeric loops that connected the centromeres and genome regions up to ~ 300 kb distant in G2/M-arrested cells. Deletion of Wpl1 and Eco1 synergistically contributed to the loop size enlargement. ChIP-seq revealed that cohesin and its ATPase activator, Scc2, were colocalized at the anchor sites of the extended peri-centromeric loops, specifically in the double-deletion mutant Δwpl1 Δeco1. Consistently, acute depletion of Scc2 in the G2/M phase resulted in the disappearance of the extended loops. Given that Scc2 is bound prominently only at the centromeres in wild-type cells, our results suggest that Wpl1 and Eco1 jointly promote the dissociation of Scc2 from cohesin and inhibit excessive expansion of peri-centromeric DNA loop size. Notably, we found that nuclear division after benomyl block and release was significantly delayed in the Δwpl1 Δeco1 double-deletion mutant, and this delay was rescued by Scc2 depletion in the G2/M phase. This indicates that cohesin regulators cooperatively regulate the size of the peri-centromeric DNA loops to ensure faithful chromosome segregation.

Restriction mechanism of peri-centromeric DNA loop expansion necessary to ensure accurate chromosome segregation [Micro-C]

Displacement and re-accumulation of centromeric cohesin during transient pre-anaphase centromere splitting

Project description:The ring-shaped cohesin complex links sister chromatids until their timely segregation during mitosis. Cohesin is enriched at centromeres, where it provides the cohesive counter-force to bi-polar tension produced by the mitotic spindle. As a consequence of spindle tension, centromeric sequences transiently split in pre-anaphase cells, in some organisms up to several micrometeres. This ‘centromere breathing’ presents a paradox, how sister sequences separate where cohesin is most enriched. We now show that in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, cohesin binding diminishes over centromeric sequences that split during breathing. We see no evidence for cohesin translocation to surrounding sequences, suggesting that cohesin is removed from centromeres during breathing. Two pools of cohesin can be distinguished. Cohesin loaded before DNA replication, that has established sister chromatid cohesion, disappears during breathing. In contrast, cohesin loaded after DNA replication is partly retained. As sister centromeres re-associate after transient separation, cohesin is re-loaded in a manner independent of the canonical cohesin loader Scc2/Scc4. Efficient centromere re-association requires the cohesion establishment factor Eco1, suggesting that re-establishment of sister chromatid cohesion contributes to the dynamic behaviour of centromeres in mitosis. These findings provide new insights into cohesin behaviour at centromeres. Keywords: ChIP-chip

Kinetochores coordinate pericentromeric cohesion and early DNA replication by Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase recruitment

Project description:Centromeres play several important roles in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Not only do they promote kinetochore assembly for microtubule attachment, but they also support robust sister chromatid cohesion at pericentromeres and facilitate replication of centromeric DNA early in S phase. However, it is still elusive how centromeres orchestrate all these functions at the same site. Here we show that the budding yeast Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) accumulates at kinetochores in telophase, facilitated by the Ctf19 kinetochore complex. This promptly recruits Sld3-Sld7 replication initiator proteins to pericentromeric replication origins so that they initiate replication early in S phase. Furthermore DDK at kinetochores independently recruits the Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loader to centromeres in G1 phase. This enhances cohesin loading and facilitates robust pericentromeric cohesion in S phase. Thus, we have found the central mechanism by which kinetochores orchestrate early S phase DNA replication and robust sister chromatid cohesion at microtubule attachment sites. Measurement of genome replication time for various S. cerevisiae strains. For each strain two samples were analysed: a replicating sample (from S phase) and a non-replicating sample (from G2 phase).

Smc3 acetylation, Pds5 and Scc2 control the translocase activity that establishes cohesin dependent chromatin loops

Project description:Cohesin is a DNA translocase instrumental in the folding of the genome into chromatin loops, with functional consequences on DNA-related processes. Chromatin loop length and organization likely depend on cohesin processivity, translocation rate, and stability on DNA. Here we investigate and provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of various cohesin regulators in tuning chromatin loop expansion. We demonstrate that Scc2, which stimulates cohesin ATPase activity, is also essential for cohesin translocation, driving loop expansion in vivo. Smc3 acetylation during S-phase counteracts this activity through the stabilization of Pds5, which finely tunes the size and stability of loops in G2.

Structure of the Cohesin Loader Scc2-Scc4 and its Binding to a Folded Cohesin

Project description:The functions of cohesin are central to genome integrity, chromosome organization, and transcription regulation through its prevention of premature sister-chromatid separation and the formation of DNA loops. The loading of cohesin onto chromatin depends on the Scc2-Scc4 complex, however, little is known about how it stimulates the cohesin loading activity. Here we determine the large “hook” structure of Scc2 responsible for catalyzing cohesin loading. We identify key Scc2 surfaces that are crucial for DNA binding and for cohesin loading in vivo. Using previously determined structures and modeling, we derive a pseudo-atomic structure of the full-length Scc2-Scc4 complex. Finally, our crosslinking and electron microscopy analyses reveal that Scc2-Scc4 utilizes its modular structure to make multiple contacts with a folded cohesin at an interface created by the cohesin head-hinge interaction.

The cohesin release factor WAPL restricts chromatin loop extension. [HiC-Seq]

Project description:The spatial organization of chromosomes influences many nuclear processes including gene expression. The cohesin complex shapes the 3D genome by looping together CTCF sites along chromosomes. We show here that chromatin loop size can be increased, and that the duration with which cohesin embraces DNA determines the degree to which loops are enlarged. Cohesin’s DNA release factor WAPL restricts the degree of this loop extension and also prevents looping between incorrectly oriented CTCF sites. We reveal that the SCC2/SCC4 complex promotes the extension of chromatin loops and the formation of topologically associated domains (TADs). Our data support the model that cohesin structures chromosomes through the processive enlargement of loops and that TADs reflect polyclonal collections of loops in the making. Finally, we find that whereas cohesin promotes chromosomal looping, it rather limits nuclear compartmentalization. We conclude that the balanced activity of SCC2/SCC4 and WAPL enables cohesin to correctly structure chromosomes.

Genome-wide maps of rH2A.X in wildtype and DNMT3b-KO HCT116 lines

Project description:Dysfunction of DNA methyltransferase 3b (DNMT3b) causes centromere instability but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We found that enforced expression of RNase H1 that removes R-loops, nucleic structures comprising an DNA-RNA hybrid, was sufficient to abolish DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at (peri-)centromeric sites in immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) patient cells carrying DNMT3b mutation. However, ICF cells had lower steady-state level of centromeric R-loops than normal cells. Simultaneous knockdown of two DNA endonucleases, XPG and XPF, restored centromeric R-loops in ICF cells while reducing DSBs and chromosome segregation error. This suggests that (peri-)centromeric R-loops are more vulnerable to XPG or XPF in ICF cells, thus increasing centromeric breaks. This mechanism is recapitulated in DNMT3b-knockout HCT116 cells. Moreover, we present evidence for the choice of alternative end-joining (alt-EJ) repair of (peri-)centromeric breaks in ICF cells. Thus, DNA cleavages of (peri-)centromeric R-loops and mutagenic alt-EJ repair undermine centromere stability in DNMT3b defective cells.
