Project description:The ring-shaped cohesin complex links sister chromatids until their timely segregation during mitosis. Cohesin is enriched at centromeres, where it provides the cohesive counter-force to bi-polar tension produced by the mitotic spindle. As a consequence of spindle tension, centromeric sequences transiently split in pre-anaphase cells, in some organisms up to several micrometeres. This M-bM-^@M-^Xcentromere breathingM-bM-^@M-^Y presents a paradox, how sister sequences separate where cohesin is most enriched. We now show that in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, cohesin binding diminishes over centromeric sequences that split during breathing. We see no evidence for cohesin translocation to surrounding sequences, suggesting that cohesin is removed from centromeres during breathing. Two pools of cohesin can be distinguished. Cohesin loaded before DNA replication, that has established sister chromatid cohesion, disappears during breathing. In contrast, cohesin loaded after DNA replication is partly retained. As sister centromeres re-associate after transient separation, cohesin is re-loaded in a manner independent of the canonical cohesin loader Scc2/Scc4. Efficient centromere re-association requires the cohesion establishment factor Eco1, suggesting that re-establishment of sister chromatid cohesion contributes to the dynamic behaviour of centromeres in mitosis. These findings provide new insights into cohesin behaviour at centromeres. Keywords: ChIP-chip SAMPLES Origin of each biological sample: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (W303background) Growth conditions: Cells containing the MET3-CDC20 allele were grown at 25M-BM-0C in SC medium lacking methionine with 2% raffinose or 2% glucose as the carbon source (Uhlmann et al. 2000). Cultures were synchronized in G1 with M-NM-1-factor (5 M-NM-<g/ml) and released into medium containing 100 mM hydroxyurea (HU) for arrest in early S-phase. For arrest in metaphase, cells were released from M-NM-1-factor or HU arrest by filtration and re-suspension in YP medium supplemented with 5 mM methionine to deplete Cdc20. To inactivate cohesin loading, cells harbouring the temperature sensitive scc2-4 allele (Ciosk et al. 2000) were shifted to the restrictive temperature of 35M-BM-0C for 1 hour before release. To prevent metaphase spindle assembly, or to disassemble already formed spindles, 7.5 M-NM-<g/ml nocodazole was added to the medium for 1 hour. To wash out nocodazole, cells were filtered again, washed, and re-suspended in fresh medium lacking nocodazole for 1 hour. Expression of Scc1 to induce differentially epitope-tagged cohesin under control of the GAL1 promoter, or of Cdc14, was achieved by addition of 2% galactose for 1 hour to cultures grown in raffinose-containing medium. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Experiment type: ChIP-chip = Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by hybridization to a high-density oligonucleotide microarray (chip). Number of hybridizations performed: 13 ChIP-chip samples; 2 SUPernatant samples Analysis: ChIP samples were normalized against SUPernatant fractions Quality control: Confirmation of results by duplication of experiments, by usage of different epitope tags for the same protein, and by usage of different subunits of the same protein complex. Also, whole cell extract, SUPernatant, and ChIP fractions were checked by Western blotting. Protocols: ChIP-chip and hybridization protocols were performed as previously described (Katou et al. 2003; Lengronne et al. 2004; Lengronne et al. 2006). A summary is provided below: ChIP. Cells were grown under the conditions described above and cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde. Cells were disrupted using a Multi-Beads Shocker, and whole cell extracts were sonicated to obtain 400-600 bp genomic DNA fragments. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed with anti-HA antibody or anti-PK monoclonal antibody coupled to protein A Dynabeads. Immunprecipates were eluted and incubated overnight at 65M-BM-:C to reverse the cross-link. The immunoprecipitated genomic DNA was then incubated with proteinase K, extracted twice with phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol, precipitated, resuspended in TE and incubated with RNaseA. The DNA was purified, concentrated by ethanol precipitation and amplified by PCR after random priming. 10ug of the amplified DNA was digested with DNase I and end-labelled using TdT Terminal Transferase and Biotin-N6-ddATP. Hybridization and scanning. Samples were hybridized in buffer containing SSPE, TritonX-100, denatured salmon sperm DNA and biotin-labelled control oligonucleotide, oligo B2. Samples were denatured at 95M-BM-:C for 10 minutes before being hybridized to the arrays for 16 hours at 42M-BM-:C in a GeneChip Hybridization Oven 640. The washing and scanning protocol (FlexMidi_euk2v3_450), provided by Affymetrix, was performed automatically on a GeneChip Fluidics Station 450. Arrays were scanned using the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G, and primary analysis of tiling chip data was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS).

Project description:Two identical sister copies of eukaryotic chromosomes are synthesised during S-phase. To facilitate their recognition as pairs for segregation in mitosis, sister chromatids are held together from their synthesis onwards by the chromosomal cohesin complex. It is thought that replication fork progression is coupled to establishment of sister chromatid cohesion, thus facilitating identification of replication products, but evidence for this has remained circumstantial. Here we show that three proteins required for sister chromatid cohesion, Eco1, Ctf4 and Ctf18 are found close to, and Ctf4 travels along chromosomes with replication forks. The ring-shaped cohesin complex is loaded onto chromosomes before S-phase in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent reaction. Cohesion establishment during DNA replication follows without further cohesin recruitment, and without need for cohesin to re-engage an ATP hydrolysis motif that is critical for its initial DNA binding. This provides evidence for cohesion establishment in the context of replication forks and imposes constraints on the mechanism involved. Keywords: ChIP on chip

Project description:Centromeres play several important roles in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Not only do they promote kinetochore assembly for microtubule attachment, but they also support robust sister chromatid cohesion at pericentromeres and facilitate replication of centromeric DNA early in S phase. However, it is still elusive how centromeres orchestrate all these functions at the same site. Here we show that the budding yeast Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) accumulates at kinetochores in telophase, facilitated by the Ctf19 kinetochore complex. This promptly recruits Sld3-Sld7 replication initiator proteins to pericentromeric replication origins so that they initiate replication early in S phase. Furthermore DDK at kinetochores independently recruits the Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loader to centromeres in G1 phase. This enhances cohesin loading and facilitates robust pericentromeric cohesion in S phase. Thus, we have found the central mechanism by which kinetochores orchestrate early S phase DNA replication and robust sister chromatid cohesion at microtubule attachment sites. Measurement of genome replication time for various S. cerevisiae strains. For each strain two samples were analysed: a replicating sample (from S phase) and a non-replicating sample (from G2 phase).

Project description:Cohesin is a highly conserved, multiprotein complex whose canonical function is to hold sister chromatids together to ensure accurate chromosome segregation. Cohesin association with chromatin relies on the separate Scc2-Scc4 complex that enables cohesin ring opening and topological entrapment of sister DNAs. Cohesin loading at centromeres also requires the CTF19 kinetochore subcomplex that recruits Scc2-Scc4, ensuring efficient and targeted cohesin binding. After loading at centromeres, cohesin rapidly translocates to neighboring pericentromeric regions. In an attempt to better understand how sister chromatid cohesion is regulated, we performed a proteomic screen in budding yeast that identified the Isw1 chromatin remodeler as a cohesin binding partner. We found that while cohesin can associate with both Isw1-containing complexes, ISW1a and ISW1b, however only ISW1a localizes to centromeres. There, ISW1a utilizes its chromatin remodeling activity to allow efficient translocation of cohesin loaded through CTF19 at centromeres to pericentromeres. Consistently, lack of Isw1 results in cohesin and cohesin loader retainment at CENs and periCENs. Interestingly, lack of Isw1 resulted in changes in the nucleosomal landscape at the CENs and pericentromeric regions, suggesting that chromatin organization may be a crucial determinant of cohesin loading. Finally, we provide evidence that the role of ISW1a at the CENs is to restrict the activity of the RSC complex. Taken together, our results support the notion of a key role of chromatin environment for cohesin functions.

Project description:The accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis relies on the attachment of sister chromatids to microtubules from opposite poles, called biorientation. Sister chromatid cohesion resists microtubule forces, generating tension which provides the signal that biorientation has occurred. How tension silences the surveillance pathways that prevent cell cycle progression and correct erroneous kinetochore-microtubule remains unclear. Here we identify SUMOylation as a mechanism that promotes anaphase onset upon biorientation. SUMO ligases modify the tension-sensing pericentromere-localized chromatin protein, shugoshin, to stabilize bioriented sister kinetochore-microtubule attachments and allow entry into anaphase. SUMOylation of shugoshin prevents binding to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), while enhancing chromosome passenger complex (CPC) interaction and removal from centromeres. Dissociation of the shugoshin-PP2A interaction is important for stabilizing sister kinetochore biorientation. Therefore, SUMOylation modulates protein interactions within pericentromeres to allow a signalling switch in response to biorientation.

Project description:Cohesion between sister chromatids depends on the chromosomal cohesin complex and allows the spindle apparatus in mitosis to recognize replicated chromosomes for segregation into daughter cells. Sister chromatid cohesion is established concomitant with DNA replication, and requires the essential Eco1 protein, a replication fork-associated acetyl transferase. The mechanism by which Eco1 establishes sister chromatid cohesion is not known. Here, we show that the cohesin subunit Smc3 is acetylated in an Eco1-dependent manner during S phase to establish sister chromatid cohesion. We isolated spontaneous suppressors of the thermosensitive eco1-1 allele in budding yeast, and identified the suppressor mutations from the hybridization pattern of genomic DNA on oligonucleotide tiling arrays. An acetylation mimicking mutation of a conserved lysine in Smc3 to asparagine (K113N) makes Eco1 dispensable for cell growth, indicating that Smc3 acetylation is Eco1’s only essential function. We identified a second set of eco1-1 suppressor mutations in the budding yeast ortholog of the cohesin regulator Wapl (Wpl1/Rad61). Wapl destabilizes cohesin on chromosomes, and Eco1-dependent Smc3 acetylation during S-phase might render cohesin resistant to Wapl. Our results clarify the role of Eco1 in the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion, and suggest that Eco1 modifies cohesin to stabilize an Eco1-independent cohesion establishment reaction.

Project description:Sister chromatid cohesion relies on cohesins, a group of proteins that forms a ring-shaped complex embracing sister chromatids. Cohesion is established during S phase and is removed when cohesin Scc1 is cleaved by the protease separase at anaphase onset. During this process, the cohesin subunit Smc3 undergoes a cycle of acetylation: Smc3 acetylation by Eco1 in S phase stabilizes cohesin association with chromosomes, and its deacetylation by Hos1 in anaphase allows re-use of Smc3 in the next cell cycle. Here we find that Smc3 deacetylation by Hos1 has a more immediate effect in early anaphase of budding yeast. Without Hos1, sister chromatid separation and segregation are significantly delayed. Smc3 deacetylation facilitates removal of cohesins from chromosomes, without changing the Scc1 cleavage efficiency, thus promoting dissolution of cohesion. This action is probably due to disengagement of Smc1–3 heads, prompted by de-repression of their ATPase activity. We suggest Scc1 cleavage per se is insufficient for efficient dissolution of cohesion in early anaphase, but subsequent Smc3 deacetylation, which is triggered by Scc1 cleavage, is also required.

Project description:The ring-shaped cohesin complex is thought to topologically hold sister chromatids together from their synthesis in S-phase until chromosome segregation in mitosis. How cohesin stably binds to chromosomes for extended periods, without impeding other chromosomal processes that also require access to the DNA, is poorly understood. Budding yeast cohesin is loaded onto DNA by the Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loader at centromeres and promoters of active genes, from where cohesin translocates to more permanent places of residence at transcription termination sites. Here we show that, at the GAL2 and MET17 loci, pre-existing cohesin is pushed downstream along the DNA in response to transcriptional gene activation, apparently without need for intermittent dissociation or reloading. We observe translocation intermediates and find that the distribution of most chromosomal cohesin is shaped by transcription. Our observations support a model in which cohesin is able to slide laterally along chromosomes while maintaining topological contact with DNA. In this way, stable cohesin binding to DNA and enduring sister chromatid cohesion become compatible with simultaneous underlying chromosomal activities, including but maybe not limited to transcription.

Project description:FACT mediates cohesin function on chromatin Cohesin is a key regulator of genome architecture with roles in sister chromatid cohesion and the organisation of higher-order structures during interphase and mitosis. The recruitment and mobility of cohesin complexes on DNA are restricted by nucleosomes. Here we show that cohesin role in chromosome organization requires the histone chaperone FACT. Depletion of FACT in metaphase cells affects cohesin stability on chromatin reducing its accumulation at pericentric regions and binding on chromosome arms. Using Hi-C, we show that cohesin-dependent TAD (Topological Associated Domains)-like structures in G1 and metaphase chromosomes are disrupted in the absence of FACT. Surprisingly, sister chromatid cohesion is intact in FACT-depleted cells, although chromosome segregation failure is observed. Our results uncover a role for FACT in genome organisation by facilitating cohesin dependent compartmentalization of chromosomes into loop domains.
