Project description:Proper chromosome segregation is required to ensure genomic and chromosomal stability. The centromere is a unique chromatin domain present throughout the cell cycle on each chromosome defined by the CENP-A nucleosome. Centromeres (CEN) are responsible for recruiting the kinetochore (KT) during mitosis, ultimately regulating spindle attachment and mitotic checkpoint function. Upregulation of many genes that encode CEN/KT proteins is commonly observed in cancer. Here, we show although FOXM1 occupies the promoters of many CEN/KT genes with MYBL2, occupancy is insufficient alone to drive the FOXM1 correlated transcriptional program. We show that CENP-F, a component of the outer kinetochore, functions with FOXM1 to coregulate G2/M transcription and proper chromosome segregation. Loss of CENP-F results in alteration of chromatin accessibility at G2/M genes, including CENP-A, and leads to reduced FOXM1-MBB complex formation. The FOXM1-CENP-F transcriptional coordination is a cancer-specific function. We observed that a few CEN/KT genes escape FOXM1 regulation such as CENP-C which when upregulated with CENP-A, leads to increased chromosome misegregation and cell death. Together, we show that the FOXM1 and CENP-F coordinately regulate G2/M gene expression, and this coordination is specific to a subset of genes to allow for proliferation and maintenance of chromosome stability for cancer cell survival.

Project description:We used native ChIP-seq of CENP-A-containing particles from normal centromeres on alpha-satellite DNA and three naturally-occurring neocentromeres to test the proposed models for the major form of the fundamental repeating unit of centromeric chromatin. We found that the predominant form of the CENP-A particle at the centromere is an octameric nucleosome with loose terminal DNA. Additionally, we found CENP-A nucleosomes are strongly phased on the 171 bp alpha-satellite monomers of normal centromeres, and also display strong positioning and neocentromeres.

Project description:CENP-A is the histone H3 variant necessary to specify the location of all eukaryoticcentromeres via its CENP-A targeting domain and either one of its terminal regions. In humans, several post-translational modifications occur on CENP-A, but their role in centromere function remains controversial. One of these modifications of CENP-A, phosphorylation on serine 7,has been proposed to control centromere assembly and function. Here, using gene targeting at both endogenous CENP-A alleles and gene replacement in human cells, we demonstrate that a CENP-A variant that cannot be phosphorylated at serine 7 maintains correct CENP-C recruitment, faithful chromosome segregation and long-term cell viability. Thus, we conclude that phosphorylation of CENP-A on serine 7 is dispensable to maintain correct centromere dynamics and function.

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) or histone variant CNEP-A/Cnp1 in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By obtaining 1-10 ng immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide H3K9me2 or CENP-A/Cnp1 maps of heterozygous deletion diploid mhf2∆/+ and the meiotic haploid progeny of heterozygous deletion diploid wip1∆/+, mhf1∆/+ and mhf2∆/+ in fission yeast. We find that centromere inactivation and neocentromere formation occur independently and postzygotically in single depletion of CENP-T-W-X-S.

Project description:Chromatin assembled with histone H3 variant CENP-A is the heritable epigenetic determinant of human centromere identity. Using genome-wide mapping and reference models for 23 human centromeres, CENP-A is shown in early G1 to be assembled into nucleosomes within megabase, repetitive a-satellite DNAs at each centromere and onto 11,390 sites on the chromosome arms. Centromere-bound CENP-A is found to be quantitatively maintained during DNA replication by coordinated action of the MCM2 helicase, CAF1, HJURP, and the CCAN network of constitutive centromere components. CCAN serves to tether CENP-A removed by MCM2, thereby enabling local reassembly onto both daughter centromeres with identical DNA sequence preferences and nucleosome phasing as the loading in G1 and independent of CENP-B. Conversely, without CCAN-mediated tethering, DNA replication removes CENP-A from sites on the chromosome arms. Our data identify an MCM2/CAF1/HJURP- and CCAN-dependent error correction mechanism that acts in S-phase to maintain CENP-A-dependent centromere identity.

Project description:The centromere is the location on each chromosome that directs the assembly of the kinetochore. The underlying hallmark of centromeres in most eukaryotes is the presence of specialised nucleosomes in which canonical histone H3 is replaced by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. The molecular events that mediate a programme to install CENP-A in place of histone H3, at centromeres and how the centromeric chromatin is reorganised for CENP-A assembly during cell cycle remain poorly characterised. Histone H2A variant, H2A.Z is linked to transcriptional competence, in maintaining heterochromatin silencing and enriched in CENP-A chromatin. Our analyses demonstrate that H2A.ZPht1 and the Swr1 complex are associated with CENP-ACnp1 chromatin in fission yeast. Swr1 and Msc1 regulate H2A.ZPht1 deposition at centromeres and along with H2A.ZPht1 maintain CENP-ACnp1 chromatin integrity. Additionally, they coordinate the deposition of CENP-ACnp1 through the cell cycle, coupled with eviction of histone H3 from centromeres. Based on our results, we propose that the centromere is programmed to the widespread incorporation of H2A.ZPht1 via Swr1, and that H2A.ZPht1 dynamics likely play a role in regulating centromeric chromatin by influencing CENP-A incorporation.
