Project description:Gene number of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is the lowest in free-living eukaryotes. We further reduced the gene number to examine a minimal gene set required for growth. The genome-reduced strain, named ASP3894, has four chromosomal deletion regions: 168.4 kb deletion in the left arm of chromosome 1 (ALT), 155.4 kb deletion in the right arm of chromosome 1 (ART), 211.7 kb deletion in the left arm of chromosome 2 (BLT) and 121.6 kb deletion in the right arm of chromosome 2 (BRT). As a result of the 657.3 kb genome reduction, 224 genes of approximately 5100 total genes were reduced. ASP3894 transcriptional profiling was compared with a parent strain, ASP3880, that is a non-genome-reduced strain to examine the influence of genome reduction. Three independent experiments. 3 control ASP3880 samples and 3 genome-reduced strain ASP3894 samples were independently grown in EMM medium and harvested at the logarithmic phase.

Project description:The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complex plays an important role in chromosome organization and segregation in most living organisms. In Caulobacter crescentus, SMC is required to align the left and the right arms of the chromosome that run in parallel down the long axis of the cell. However, the mechanism of SMC-mediated alignment of chromosomal arms remains elusive. Here, using genome-wide methods and microscopy of single cells, we show that Caulobacter SMC is recruited to the centromeric parS site and that SMC-mediated arm alignment depends on the chromosome partitioning protein ParB. We provide evidence that SMC likely tethers the parS-proximal regions of the chromosomal arms together, promoting arm alignment. Furthermore, we show that highly-transcribed genes near parS that are oriented against SMC translocation disrupt arm alignment, suggesting that head-on transcription interferes with SMC translocation. Our results demonstrate a tight interdependence of bacterial chromosome organization and global patterns of transcription.

Project description:Yeast chromosome III contains the mating type loci that provide a paradigm for long-range interactions between distant loci. Yeast switch mating type by gene conversion between the MAT locus and either of two silent loci (HML or HMR) on opposite ends of the chromosome. This long-range process is mating type-specific so that MATa cells choose HML as template, while MATα cells use HMR. The Recombination Enhancer (RE), located on the left arm regulates this process. One long-standing hypothesis is that switching is guided by mating type-specific, and possibly RE-dependent three-dimensional folding of chromosome III. Here we used Hi-C, 5C, and live cell imaging to characterize the conformation of chromosome III in both mating types in non-switching strains. We discovered a mating type-specific difference in the folding of the left arm: in MATa cells the left arm is located closely to the centromere-proximal portion of the chromosome as well as to MAT, whereas it is more extended away in MATα cells. Deletion analysis showed that a 1 kb subregion within the RE, which is not necessary during switching, abolished mating type-dependent chromosome folding. In this mutant the conformation of chromosome III is the same in both mating types, but distinct from the wild type MATa or MATα conformations, indicating that the RE induces conformational changes in both mating types. The RE is therefore a composite element with one subregion essential for selecting the appropriate donor during switching, and a separate region involved in modulating chromosome conformation prior to switching.

Project description:Furfural is a key inhibitor in S. cerevisiae fermentation causing serious economic loss. To disclose of the recombinational DNA lesions induced by furfural, we analyzed 19 JSC25-derived sectored colonies using chromosome IV SNP-specific microarrays. The parent diploid S. cerevisiae strain JSC25 (constructed by crossing two haploid strains isogenic W303-1A and YJM789) was homologous for ade2-1 alleles. One copy of gene SUP4-o, an ochre-suppressing tRNA, was inserted at the end of right arm of chromosome IV. Under normal conditions, the colony color of JSC25 is pink. A crossover event occurred on the right arm of chromosome IV at the first cell cycle would result in a white/red sectored colony on solid plate.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae switches its mating type (MATa or MATalpha) through gene conversion using one of two possible donors, HMLalpha or HMRa, both of which are maintained by the SIR silencing complex as heterochromatic cassettes on opposing ends of chromosome III. In MATa cells, HMLalpha on the left arm is preferentially chosen as the donor through a mechanism requiring a cis-acting sequence called the recombination enhancer (RE). The left half of the RE is required for this donor preference activity, whereas the right half has been implicated in regulating chromosome III structure. In this study we have identified a MATa-specific Sir2 and condensin binding site within the right half of the RE that maintains chromosome III in a switching-competent conformation by preventing MATa from interacting with the default HMRa donor on the right arm. Within the RE, Sir2 strongly represses transcription of a small MATa-specific gene of unknown function (RDT1). Upon expression of HO endonuclease to induce the switching process, Sir2 redistributes from the RE to the double-stranded DNA break site at MATa, thus derepressing RDT1 transcription to coincide with the timing of mating-type switching. Condensin is also displaced from the RE in response to the HO-induced break, likely contributing to the transient change in chromosome III conformation required for effective switching without disruption of HML and HMR heterochromatin.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_3168 Although C. elegans was the first multicellular organism with a completely sequenced genome, how this genome is arranged within the nucleus is not known. By chromatin immunoprecipitation of the nuclear transmembrane protein LEM-2, we determined the regions of the C. elegans genome associated with the nuclear membrane. We found that large regions of several megabases on the left and right arms of each autosome were associated with the nuclear membrane. The center of each autosome was free of such interactions, suggesting these regions are largely looped out from the nuclear membrane. The X chromosome, unlike the autosomes, was associated with the nuclear membrane only at its left end. At a finer scale, these large membrane-associated domains consist of smaller subdomains of LEM-2 associations. These subdomains are characterized by a high density of repetitive sequences, a low density of genes, and high levels of H3K27 trimethylation. The subdomains were punctuated by gaps containing genes with high transcriptional activity. Finally, we found that a chromosome arm translocated to the center of a chromosome retained its association with the nuclear membrane, although there was a decrease of association up to 400 kb from the fusion point. This indicates that local chromatin properties are the main determinant of interaction with the nuclear membrane, but the degree of association can be modulated by position along the chromosome. Our data provide the foundation for a model of the spatial arrangement of C.elegans chromosomes within the nucleus. Supplemental materials are available online at http://www.genome.org .

Project description:Two types of RNA:DNA associations can lead to genome instability: the formation of R-loops during transcription and the incorporation of ribonucleotide monophosphates (rNMPs) into DNA during replication. Both ribonuclease (RNase) H1 and RNase H2 degrade the RNA component of R-loops, whereas only RNase H2 can remove one or a few rNMPs from DNA. We performed high-resolution mapping of mitotic recombination events throughout the yeast genome in diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking RNase H1 (rnh1Δ), RNase H2 (rnh201Δ), or both RNase H1 and RNase H2 (rnh1Δ rnh201Δ). We found little effect on recombination in the rnh1Δ strain, but elevated recombination in both the rnh201Δ and the double-mutant strains; levels of recombination in the double mutant were about 50% higher than in the rnh201 single-mutant strain. An rnh201Δ mutant that additionally contained a mutation that reduces rNMP incorporation by DNA polymerase ε (pol2-M644L) had a level of instability similar to that observed in the presence of wild-type Polε. This result suggests that the elevated recombination observed in the absence of only RNase H2 is primarily a consequence of R loops rather than misincorporated rNMPs. The details of these experiments are in press in Genetics This diploid S.cerevisiae strain used here is a hybrid between W303-1A and YJM789. The backgrounds are diverged by about 50,000 polymorphisms that are surveyed by custom CGH microarrays containing SNP-specific probes (St. Charles et al., 2012; Genetics 190: 1267-1284; PMID 22267500). The whole genome array surveyed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events throughout the genome of in wild type, pol2-M644L, rnh1Δ, rnh201Δ, rnh201Δ pol2-M644L, and rnh1Δ rnh201Δ mutant backgrounds in 10, 12, 10, 19, 17, and 22 samples, respectively. The names of these strains are KO_198,KO_234, KO_73, KO_75, KO_244, and KO_5, respectively. Another assay was performed mapping reciprocal crossover events on the right arm of chromosome IV in the rnh201Δ (strains KO_135 and KO188) and the rnh1Δrnh201Δ (strain KO_132) mutant backgrounds. A reporter system with a wild type ADE2 on the end of chromosome IV allowed us to detect crossovers by seeing a red-white sectored colony. Each reciprocal event was mapped by doing a microarray specific for the right arm of chromosome IV (St. Charles and Petes, 2013; PLoS Genet. 1267-1284 PMCID PMC3616911) on the red and white sides of sectors. 21 sectors were analyzed for the rnh201Δ mutant while 14 were analyzed for the rnh1Δ rnh201Δ mutant. We mapped crossovers on the right arm of chromosome IV in the rnh201Δ mutant in four different diploid isolates: KO135_5 (1R/1W, 2R/2W, 4R/4W, 5R/5W, 12R/12W, and 13R/13W), KO_135_6 (1R/1W, 4R/4W, 5R/5W, 7R/7W, 9R/9W, 11R/11W, 13R/13W, and 17R/17W), KO 188_1 (1R/1W, and 4R/4W), and KO188_2 (6R/6W, 7R/7W, 11R/11W, and 12R/12W). We mapped crossovers on the right arm of chromosome IV in the rnh1Δ rnh201Δ mutant in two different diploid isolates: KO_132_31 (2R/2W, 6R/6W, 8R/8W, 15R/15W, 17R/17W, 21R/21W, 22R/22W, and 24R/24W) and KO_132_29 (3R/3W, 7R/7W, 18R/18W, 24R/24W, and 34R/34W).

Project description:The Males Experiment: This experiment was done to test the sensitivity of our array in detecting single copy losses of probes to the X chromosome. Males (XO) have just one X chromosome, while hermaphrodites (XX) have two. CB4856 and JU258: This experiment was done to determine the natural copy number variation that exists in a wild C. elegans isolate. Extensive natural copy number variation exists in this strain. gkDf2 (VC100): This control experiment was done to confirm that we could reliably detect a large 50-kb homozygous deletion on chromosome X using this array. gk329 (VC766): This control experiment was done to confirm that we could reliably detect a homozygous 1-kb single-gene deletion on the X chromosome. This deletion targets the gene ceh-39. For gk291 (VC615): This control experiment was done to confirm that we could reliably detect a heterozygous (single copy) single-gene 1-kb deletion on chromsome II. This deletion targets the gene dab-1. All other experiments: This experiment was done in an effort to detect novel balanced single copy losses on chromosome II in mutagenized strains. Mutants were previously screened for homozygous lethal mutations on chromosome II, and these mutations were then balanced with the mIn1 balancer chromosome to generate the mutant strain screened in this experiment.
