RNA quality control by CCR4 safeguards chromatin integrity and centromere function in Arabidopsis [smallRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The centromere is a pivotal chromatin domain that ensures accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. However, the epigenome regulation of the centromere and its impact on centromere function remain largely elusive. Here in the model plant Arabidopsis, we show that CCR4, the catalytic subunit of the RNA deadenylation complex CCR4-NOT, is essential for maintenance of the centromere epigenome and chromosome integrity. We demonstrate that CCR4 is involved in shortening of the poly(A) tails of transcripts originated from centromeric transposons and repeats, thereby promoting the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The CCR4-dependent siRNAs guide non-CG DNA methylation at centromere repeats, and CCR4 cooperates with canonical DNA methylation pathways to enhance centromeric H3K9 methylation and ensure mitotic chromosome stability. Our study illustrates the crucial role of RNA quality control in RNA interference and reveals the elaborate mechanism that safeguards plant centromeres through epigenomic regulation.

Small RNA sequences from Schizosaccharomyces japonicus

Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are known to be involved in both transposon silencing and centromere function, leading us to investigate the interplay between these two roles in the Schizosaccharomyces lineage. In S. pombe, the centromeric repeats produce dicer-dependent siRNAs that are required for maintenance of centromeric structure, function and transcriptional silencing via Argonaute-dependent heterochromatin formation13. However, transposons are silenced in S. pombe by RNAi-independent mechanisms and do not produce abundant siRNAs. To investigate whether centromere-directed siRNA production is conserved within the transposon-rich centromeres of S. japonicus, we isolated and sequenced small RNAs from log-phase S. japonicus cultures. The small RNAs have a modal size of 23 nucleotides and 94% map to transposons, both telomeric and centromeric.

The Chromatin-Remodeling Factor FACT Contributes to Centromeric Heterochromatin Independently of RNAi

Project description:Centromeres exert vital cellular functions in mitosis and meiosis. A specialized histone and other chromatin-bound factors nucleate a dynamic protein assembly that is required for the proper segregation of sister chromatids. In several organisms including the fission yeast S. pombe, a RNAi-related pathway further strengthens the epigenetic maintenance of centromere location, primarily through repressing transcription near centromeres. Little is known how accessory factors such as histone chaperones and chromatin remodelling factors might be required to establish a functioning centromere. Here we show that the chaperone and remodelling complex FACT is required for transcriptional gene silencing at centromeres and for accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis. We show that Spt16 and Pob3 are two subunits of the S. pombe FACT complex. Surprisingly, yeast strains deleted for Pob3 are viable and show a marked loss of gene silencing at centromeric repeats and at the mating locus. Importantly, Pob3-null strains fail to undergo mitosis at high accuracy and phenocopy histone methylation and RNAi mutants. Processing of centromeric RNA transcripts into siRNAs is maintained in Pob3 mutants, but Swi6-association at the centromere is affected. Our studies provide the first experimental evidence for a role of the RNA polymerase II cofactor FACT in centromere function. Keywords: Expression profiling of pob3 vs wt

Telomeric repeats facilitate CENP-A incorporation via telomere binding proteins

Project description:The histone H3 variant, CENP-ACnp1, is normally assembled upon canonical centromeric sequences, but there is no apparent obligate coupling of sequence and assembly, suggesting that centromere location can be epigenetically determined. To explore the tolerances and constraints on CENP-ACnp1 deposition we investigated whether certain locations are favoured when additional CENP-ACnp1 is present in fission yeast cells. Our analyses show that additional CENP-ACnp1 accumulates within and close to heterochromatic centromeric outer repeats, and over regions adjacent to rDNA and telomeres. The use of minichromosome derivatives with unique DNA sequences internal to chromosome ends shows that telomeres are sufficient to direct CENP-ACnp1 deposition. However, chromosome ends are not required as CENP-ACnp1 deposition also occurs at telomere repeats inserted at an internal locus and correlates with the presence of H3K9 methylation near these repeats. The Ccq1 protein, which is known to bind telomere repeats and recruit telomerase, was found to be required to induce H3K9 methylation and thus promote the incorporation of CENP-A near telomere repeats. These analyses demonstrate that at non-centromeric chromosomal locations the presence of heterochromatin influences the sites at which CENP-A is incorporated into chromatin and thus, potentially the location of centromeres.

Epigenetic characteristics and gene-expression analysis of Derivative 3-3 de novo centromere in maize

Project description:De novo centromeres originate occasionally from non-centromeric regions of chromosomes, providing an excellent model system to study centromeric chromatin. The maize mini-chromosome Derivative 3-3 contains a de novo centromere, which was derived from a euchromatic site on the short arm of chromosome 9 that lacks traditional centromeric repeat sequences. Our previous study found that the CENH3 binding domain of this de novo centromere is only 288 kb with a high-density gene distribution with low-density of transposons. Here we applied next generation sequencing technology to analyze gene transcription, DNA methylation for this region. Our RNA-seq data revealed that active chromatin is not a barrier for de novo centromere formation. Bisulfite-ChIP-seq results indicate a slightly increased DNA methylation level after de novo centromere formation, reaching the level of a native centromere. These results provide insight into the mechanism of de novo centromere formation and subsequent consequences.
