Conserved local hypomethylation control during the bacterial cell cycle and by superimposed environmental cues

ABSTRACT: Heritable DNA methylation imprints occur in most genomes and underlie genetic variability in humans. The mechanism and consequences of establishing and propagating local hypomethylation through consecutive rounds of DNA replication and intermittent cell division cycles are poorly understood. Our genome-wide and site-specific methyl-N6-adenine (m6A-) analyses reveal a conserved local hypomethylation mechanism in two α-proteobacterial model systems. We show that MucR, a DNA-binding protein that uses an ancestral zinc-finger fold to control expression of virulence and cell cycle genes, competes with the cell cycle-regulated adenine-methyltransferase CcrM for target sites in S-phase, but not in G1-phase. Constitutive expression of CcrM or heterologous methylases during the cell cycle homogenizes m6A patterns even when MucR is present and controls transcription. We also find that environmental responses can impose methylation remodelling at certain sites, while the conserved cell cycle circuitry imposes systemic constraints on when local hypomethylation is instated.

Comparison of CcrM-dependent methylation in Caulobacter crescentus and Brucella abortus by nanopore sequencing

Project description:Bacteria rely on DNA methylation for restriction modification systems and for epigenetic control of gene expression. In Alphaproteobacteria, the CcrM orphan methyltransferase is particularly noteworthy in a range of transcriptional regulation. The wider adoption of nanopore sequencing and updated processing pipelines has made epigenome measurements in bacteria more convenient than before. Here, we validate this approach in Alphaproteobacteria by measuring CcrM-dependent DNA methylation in Caulobacter crescentus and show excellent correlation with other approaches. Continuing in Caulobacter, we directly measure the impact of Lon-mediated CcrM degradation on the epigenome and show that the AlkB demethylase has no global impact on DNA methylation during normal growth. We report on the global DNA methylation in Brucella abortus for the first time and find that CcrM-dependent methylation is reliant on Lon in an unexpected species- and chromosome-specific manner. Finally, we measure the impact of the MucR transcription factor on the Brucella methylome. Given the ease and reduced costs, our work demonstrates the utility of nanopore-based sequencing for epigenome monitoring in Alphaproteobacteria.

m6A RNA modification controls cell fate transition in mammalian embryonic stem cells

Project description:N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on messenger RNAs and is linked to human diseases, but its functions in mammalian development are poorly understood. Here we reveal the evolutionary conservation and function of m6A by mapping the m6A methylome in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Thousands of messenger and long noncoding RNAs show conserved m6A modification, including transcripts encoding core pluripotency transcription factors. m6A is enriched over 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated regions at defined sequence motifs, and marks unstable transcripts, including transcripts turned over upon differentiation. Genetic inactivation or depletion of mouse and human Mettl3, one of the m6A methylases, led to m6A erasure on select target genes, prolonged Nanog expression upon differentiation, and impaired ESCM-bM-^@M-^Ys exit from self-renewal towards differentiation into several lineages in vitro and in vivo. Thus, m6A is a mark of transcriptome flexibility required for stem cells to differentiate to specific lineages. Examing m6A modification differences in two different cell types

RNA-seq gene expression profiling comparing WT and DccrM Ptac-ccrM Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 cells cultivated in ATGN+/-IPTG.

Project description:The cell cycle-regulated DNA methyltransferase CcrM is conserved in most Alphaproteobacteria, but its role in bacteria with complex or multicentric genomes remains unexplored. Here, we compare the methylome, the transcriptome and the phenotypes of wild-type and CcrM-depleted Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells with a dicentric genome with two essential replication origins. We find that DNA methylation has a pleiotropic impact on motility, biofilm formation and viability. Remarkably, CcrM promotes the expression of the repABCCh2 operon, encoding proteins required for replication initiation/partitioning at ori2, and inhibits gcrA, encoding a conserved global cell cycle regulator. Imaging ori1 and ori2 in live cells, we show that replication from ori2 is often delayed in cells with a hypo-methylated genome, while ori2 over-initiates in cells with a hyper-methylated genome. We thus propose that methylation by CcrM stimulates RepABC-dependent chromosomal origins, uncovering a novel and original connection between CcrM-dependent DNA methylation and genome maintenance in an Alphaproteobacterial pathogen.

Bypass of an epigenetic S-phase transcriptional module by convergent nutrient stress signals

Project description:The signals feeding into bacterial S-phase transcription are poorly understood. Cellular cycling in the alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus is driven by a complex circuit of at least three transcriptional modules that direct sequential promoter firing during the G1, early and late S cell cycle phases. In alpha-proteobacteria, the transcriptional regulator GcrA and the CcrM methyltransferase epigenetically activate promoters of cell division and polarity genes that fire in S-phase. By evolving Caulobacter crescentus cells to cycle and differentiate in the absence of the GcrA/CcrM module, we discovered that phosphate deprivation and (p)ppGpp alarmone stress signals converge on S-phase transcriptional activation. The cell cycle oscillations of the CtrA protein, the transcriptional regulator CtrA that implements G1 and late S-phase transcription, are essential in our evolved mutants, but not in wild-type cells, showing that the periodicity in CtrA abundance alone can sustain cellular cycling without GcrA/CcrM. While similar nutritional sensing occurs in other alpha-proteobacteria, GcrA and CcrM are not encoded in the reduced genomes of obligate intracellular relatives. We thus propose that the nutritional stress response induced during intracellular growth obviated the need for an S-phase transcriptional regulator.

The Global Landscape of Transcription Initiation During the Caulobacter Cell Cycle [timecourse]

Project description:The Caulobacter cell cycle includes in an asymmetric cell division that is driven by a core regulatory circuit comprised of 4 transcription factors (DnaA, GcrA, CtrA, and SciP) and a DNA methyltransferase (CcrM). Using a modified global 5M-bM-^@M-^Y RACE protocol we mapped 2,726 transcriptional start sites (TSS) in the 4mb Caulobacter genome and identified 586 cell cycle-regulated TSS. The core cell cycle circuit directly controls about 55% of cell cycle-regulated TSS by integrating multiple regulatory inputs within at least 322 promoters, providing a large number of transcription profiles from a small number of regulatory factors. Here, we identified previously unknown features of the core cell cycle circuit, including antisense TSS within dnaA and ctrA, plus newly identified TSS for ctrA and ccrM. Altogether, we identified 615 antisense TSS plus 241 genes that are transcribed from multiple TSS. The multiple TSS in the same promoter region often exhibit different cell cycle activation timing, These novel features of the global transcript profile add significant insight to the system architecture of the Caulobacter cell cycle regulatory circuit. Global 5' RACE was performed to measure Transcription Start Site activity at time points of the Caulobacter NA1000 cell cycle
