An archaeal chromatin protein condenses DNA through bridging-induced phase separation

ABSTRACT: Phase separation serves an important role in the three-dimensional chromosome organization and remodeling in eukaryotes. Whether this process is involved in archaeal chromosome organization is unknown. Here we demonstrate that archaeal DNA condensing protein1 (aDCP1) from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus is able to bridge DNA efficiently and form large protein-DNA condensates with a droplet- or gel-like morphology in vitro. Within the condensates, aDCP1 exhibits a fast dynamic while the DNA appears in a solid-like state. At the single-molecule level, aDCP1 efficiently compacts DNA through a three-step mechanism, which presumably entails the clustering of aDCP1 on the DNA and the subsequent fusion of the clusters. Deletion of the aDCP1 gene results in noticeable changes in chromosome conformation in S. islandicus, which are characterized by enhanced interactions between the A and B compartments and reduced interactions within the self-interacting domains as well as between domains in the same compartment. Taken together, our results indicate that aDCP1 is capable of inducing DNA bridging-induced phase separation and serves a role in chromosome organization in the organism.

SIRV2infection

Project description:Archaeal viruses display unusually high genetic and morphologic diversity. The Sulfolobus islandicus Rod Shaped Virus 2 (SIRV2) is a model to study virus-host interactions in Archaea. It is a lytic virus that exploits a unique egress mechanism based on formation of remarkable pyramidal structures on the host cell envelope. The hyperthermophilic Sulfolobus islandicus LAL14/1 is the natural host for SIRV2. RNA was isolated at 0,1,2,3,5,7 and 9 hours after SIRV2 infection of two S.islandicus cultures and analysed with whole transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq). As a control RNA was isolated at the same time points from two uninfected cultures.

Engineering Material Properties of Transcription Factor Condensates to Control Gene Expression in HEK-293T Cells

Project description:Phase separation of biomolecules into condensates is a key mechanism in the spatiotemporal organization of biochemical processes in cells. We systematically engineered light-inducible transcription factor condensates with different material properties and analyzed their influence on transcription activation. When transcription factor condensates were transformed into solid-like gels, we observed a reduced activation of gene expression. We wanted to evaluate the impact that the condensate formation of the transcription factor RelA had on its endogenous promoters using expression data. To this aim, HEK-293T cells were transfected either with empty vector (1-3) or eGFP-RelA (4-6) or eGFP-RelA, Cry2olig-mCh-FUSN-NLS-NbGFP and Cry2olig-mCh-FUSN-NLS, along with an NF-κB-responsive SEAP reporter (7-9). In each of the three groups of transfected cells, 8 h after transfection, 3 samples were kept in the dark (D) and 3 under blue light illumination (BL, 5 μmol m-² s-1) for 24 h prior to RNA extraction. RNA-seq libraries from the 18 samples were sequenced by BGI on a DNBSEQ platform using paired-end chemistry with a read length of 100 base pairs each. Each strand was sequenced across two separate lanes (L03, L04), generating a total of 4 FASTQ files per sample.

Dispersal of PRC1 condensates disrupts polycomb chromatin domains and loops

Project description:Polycomb-repressive complex 1 (PRC1) has a constraining influence on 3D genome organization, mediating localized and chromosome-wide clustering of target loci. Polycomb-bound regions form transcriptionally repressive chromatin domains independent of topologically associating domains (TADs). Several subunits of PRC1 have the capacity to form biomolecular condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vitro and when tagged and over-expressed in cells. Here, we use 1,6 hexandiol (1,6-HD), which disrupts liquid-like condensates, to examine the role of endogenous PRC1 biomolecular condensates on local and chromosome-wide clustering of PRC1-bound loci. Using imaging and chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses, we show that PRC1-mediated localized chromatin compaction and clustering of targeted genomic loci at megabase and tens of megabase scales can be reversibly disrupted by the addition and subsequent removal of 1,6-HD to mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Decompaction and dispersal of polycomb domains and clusters cannot be solely attributable to the reduction of PRC1 binding following 1,6-HD treatment as the addition of 2,5-HD has similar effects despite this alcohol not perturbing PRC1-mediated clustering, at least at the sub-megabase and megabase scales. These results suggest that weak, hydrophobic interactions between PRC1 molecules characteristic of liquid condensates do have a role in polycomb-mediated genome organization.

Coupling transcriptional activation of CRISPR-Cas and DNA repair systems by Csa3a in Sulfolobus islandicus

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq platform to investigate the activation of CRISPR-Cas and DNA repair systems by Csa3a in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A. We compared the differently expressed genes in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain with csa3a overexpression vs. Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A strain carrying an empty expression vector, cas1 deletion strain with csa3a overexpression vs. cas1 deletion strain carrying an empty expression vector, as well as interference-deficient strain with csa3a overexpression vs. interference-deficient strain carrying an empty expression vector. We find that cas genes (SiRe_0760, SiRe_0761, SiRe_0762, SiRe_0763), nucleotidyltransferase domain of DNA polymerase beta (SiRe_0459), chromosome segregation protein (SMC)-related ATPase (SiRe_0649), SMC-related protein (SiRe_1142) and three HerA helicases involved in DNA double break repair (encoded by SiRe_0064 and SiRe_0095 of nurA-herA operons, and SiRe_1857) were significantly up-regulated. Our data indicated that the Csa3a regulator couples transcriptional activation of spacer acquisition genes, CRISPR RNA transcription, DNA repair and genome stability genes.

MeCP2 links heterochromatin condensates and neurodevelopmental disease

Project description:MeCP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2) is a key component of constitutive heterochromatin, which plays important roles in chromosome maintenance and transcriptional silencing. Mutations in MeCP2 cause Rett syndrome (RTT), a postnatal progressive neurodevelopmental disorder associated with severe mental disability and autism-like symptoms that manifests in girls during early childhood. Heterochromatin, long considered a dense and relatively static structure, is now understood to exhibit properties consistent with a liquid-like condensate. Here we report that MeCP2 is a dynamic component of heterochromatin condensates in cells, is stimulated by DNA to form liquid-like condensates, contains multiple domains that contribute to condensate formation, manifests physicochemical properties that selectively concentrate heterochromatin cofactors compared to components of transcriptionally active condensates, and when altered by RTT-causing mutations is disrupted in its ability to form condensates. We propose that MeCP2 enhances heterochromatin/euchromatin separation through its condensate partitioning properties and that condensate disruption may be a common consequence of RTT patient mutations.

Phase separation properties of RPA combine high-affinity ssDNA binding with dynamic condensate functions at telomeres

Project description:RPA has been shown to protect single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediates from instability and breakage. RPA binds ssDNA with sub-nanomolar affinity, yet dynamic turnover is required for downstream ssDNA transactions. How ultrahigh-affinity binding and dynamic turnover are achieved simultaneously is not well understood. Here we reveal that RPA has a strong propensity to assemble into dynamic condensates. In solution, purified RPA phase separates into liquid droplets with fusion and surface wetting behavior. Phase separation is stimulated by sub-stoichiometric amounts of ssDNA, but not RNA or double-stranded DNA, and ssDNA gets selectively enriched in RPA condensates. We find the RPA2 subunit required for condensation and multi-site phosphorylation of the RPA2 N-terminal intrinsically disordered region to regulate RPA self-interaction. Functionally, quantitative proximity proteomics links RPA condensation to telomere clustering and integrity in cancer cells. Collectively, our results suggest that RPA-coated ssDNA is contained in dynamic RPA condensates whose properties are important for genome organization and stability.

NORAD-induced phase separation of PUMILIO proteins is required for genome maintenance

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the activity of interacting RNA binding proteins (RBPs), but how lncRNAs efficiently compete against other transcripts to bind and regulate RBP activity is poorly understood. This problem is exemplified by NORAD, a lncRNA that maintains genomic stability by inhibiting PUMILIO (PUM) proteins. Here we show that NORAD is able to out-compete other PUM-binding transcripts by nucleating the formation of phase-separated PUM condensates, termed NP bodies. Dual mechanisms of PUM recruitment, involving multivalent PUM-NORAD and PUM-PUM interactions, enable NORAD to sequester a super-stoichiometric amount of PUM in these condensates. Accordingly, synthetic RNAs that induce PUM phase separation rescue genome instability in NORAD-deficient cells. These results illuminate mechanisms of RBP regulation by RNA-driven phase separation and uncover an essential role for this process in genome maintenance.

CEBPA phase separation links transcriptional activity and 3D chromatin hubs

Project description:Cell identity is orchestrated through an interplay between transcription factor (TF) action and genome architecture. The mechanisms used by TFs to shape three-dimensional (3D) genome organization remain incompletely understood. Here we present evidence that the lineage-instructive TF CEBPA drives extensive chromatin compartment switching and promotes the formation of long-range chromatin hubs during induced B cell to macrophage transdifferentiation. A large intrinsically disordered region (IDR) enables CEBPA to undergo in vitro phase separation and to co-condense with transcriptional partners, which is at least partially mediated by aromatic residues. Furthermore, CEBPA forms visible nuclear condensates in transdifferentiating B cells that co-localize with co-activator condensates and recover rapidly upon photobleaching. Finally, native CEBPA-expressing cell types such as primary granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs), liver cells and trophectoderm cells also reveal nuclear CEBPA condensates and long-range 3D chromatin hubs at CEBPA-bound regions. These findings support a model in which CEBPA acts as a 3D genome structural organizer and suggest that this effect is mediated at least in part by its phase-separation capacity.

Enhanced Phase Separation Mediated Oncogenicity [RNA-Seq, 2]

Project description:Chromosome translocation is known to generate oncogenes such as SS18-SSX1, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here we show that enhanced phase separation acquired by translocation mediates oncogenic transformation. SSX fusion dramatically enhances the phase separation property of SS18 protein through H2AK119ub. Super condensates generated by SS18-SSX recruit acetyltransferases CBP/P300 as wild type SS18, but exclude HDACs such that H3K27ac accumulates abnormally at loci from those normally occupied by SS18, resulting aberrant silencing and activation of target genes. Consistently, we show that inhibition of H3K27ac can attenuate the tumorigenicity of the fusion oncoprotein. These results provide the first case for phase separation as a transforming event to generate oncogene and super phase separation can be targeted for cancer therapy.
