Cohesin-dependent compaction of mitotic chromosomes in budding yeast

ABSTRACT: The extreme length of chromosomal DNA requires organizing mechanisms to both promote functional genetic interactions and ensure faithful chromosome segregation when cells divide. Microscopy and genome wide contact frequency (Hi-C) analyses indicate that intra-chromosomal looping of DNA is a primary pathway of chromosomal organization during all stages of the cell cycle (Dekker, J. & Mirny, L. . Cell 164, 1110–1121 (2016). Although the enzymatic pathways required for DNA loop formation are yet to be fully characterized, the activity of the SMC family of proteins has been consistently associated with this process in interphase and mitosis. Here we use Hi-C to study the reorganization of budding yeast chromosome conformation in early mitosis and the role of SMCs in this process. Using polymer simulations, we find that the differences between interphase and mitotic Hi-C maps can be explained by the formation of intra-chromosomal (cis-) loops in mitotic chromosomes. We demonstrate that mitotic SMC cohesin activity is required for formation of cis-loops, independently of sister-chromatid cohesion. In contrast, SMC condensin is not required for loop formation in these early mitotic cells. Rather condensin activity promotes distinct higher order structures in the chromosomes at centromeres and in the rDNA proximal regions. Thus we demonstrate that cohesin-dependent cis-loops provide the primary higher order organization of budding yeast mitotic chromosomes, independently of condensin and sister chromatid cohesion.

Condensin association with chromosomes depends on a DNA binding domain formed by its HEAT-repeat subunits

Project description:Condensin protein complexes play central roles in the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. How condensin interacts with its chromatin substrates to promote sister chromatid decatenation and segregation is largely unknown. Previous work suggested that condensin, in addition to encircling chromatin fibers topologically within the large ring-shaped structure formed by its structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) and kleisin subunits, contacts DNA directly. Here we describe the discovery of a binding domain for double-stranded DNA helices formed by condensinM-bM-^@M-^Ys HEAT-repeat subunits. Using detailed mapping data of the interfaces between the HEAT-repeat and the kleisin subunits, we generated mutant complexes that lack the Ycg1/CAP-G HEAT-repeat subunit. These tetrameric condensin complexes fail to associate stably with chromosomes in yeast and human cells. We suggest that condensin controls chromosome architecture by stabilizing chromatin loops of chromatin fibers through interaction with its unconventional HEAT-repeat DNA binding domain.

Cohesins and condensins orchestrate the 4D dynamics of yeast chromosomes during the cell cycle

Project description:The duplication and segregation of chromosomes involve the dynamic re-organization of their internal structure by conserved architectural proteins, such as structural maintenance of chromosomes complexes (i.e., cohesin and condensin). Although the roles of these factors is actively investigated, a genome-wide view of chromosome dynamic architecture at both small and large-scales during cell division remains elusive. Here we report the first comprehensive 4D analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome higher-order organization during the cell cycle, and investigate the roles of SMC in the observed structural transitions. During replication, cohesion establishment promotes long-range intra-chromosomal contacts and correlates with the individualization of chromosomes, which culminates at metaphase. Mitotic chromosomes are then abruptly reorganized in anaphase by mechanical forces exerted by the mitotic spindle. The formation of a condensin-dependent loop, that bridges the centromere cluster with the rDNA loci, suggests that condensin-mediated forces may also directly facilitate segregation. This work provides a comprehensive overview of chromosome dynamics during the cell cycle of a unicellular eukaryote that recapitulates and unveils new features of highly conserved stages of the cell division.

Sister chromatid cohesion halts DNA loop expansion

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are folded into DNA loops mediated by SMC complexes, like cohesin, condensin and Smc5/6. This organization regulates different DNA related processes along the cell cycle such as transcription, recombination, segregation and DNA repair. During G2/M phases, SMC complexes mediated DNA loops coexist with cohesin complexes involved in sister chromatid cohesion (SCC). It remains unknown whether SCC and DNA loop expansion influence each other and if they cooperate to regulate DNA-related processes. Here we show that SCC is indeed a barrier to DNA loop expansion mediated by cohesin in G2.

SMC Complexes Are Guarded by the SUMO Protease Ulp2 Against SUMO-Chain-Mediated Turnover

Project description:Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes, cohesin, condensin and Smc5/6, are essential for viability and participate in multiple processes, including sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, and DNA repair. Here we show that SUMO chains target all three SMC complexes and are antagonized by the SUMO protease Ulp2 to prevent their turnover. We uncover that the essential role of the cohesin-associated subunit Pds5 is to counteract SUMO chains jointly with Ulp2. Importantly, fusion of Ulp2 to kleisin Scc1 supports viability of PDS5 null cells and protects cohesin from proteasomal degradation mediated by the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase Slx5/Slx8. The lethality of PDS5 deleted cells can also be bypassed by simultaneous loss of the PCNA unloader, Elg1, and the cohesin releaser, Wpl1, but only when Ulp2 is functional. Condensin and Smc5/6 complex are similarly guarded by Ulp2 against unscheduled SUMO-chain assembly, which we propose to time the availability of SMC complexes on chromatin.

Loop-extruding Smc5/6 organizes transcription-induced positive DNA supercoils [RNA-seq]

Project description:The Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) protein complexes cohesin, condensin and the Smc5/6 complex (Smc5/6) are essential for chromosome function. At the molecular level, these complexes fold DNA by loop extrusion. Accordingly, cohesin creates chromosome loops in interphase, and condensin compacts mitotic chromosomes. However, the role of Smc5/6’s recently discovered DNA loop extrusion activity is unknown. Here, we uncover that Smc5/6 controls the spatial organization of supercoiled chromosomal regions. The results show that Smc5/6 associates with transcription-induced positively supercoiled chromosomal DNA at cohesin-dependent chromosome loop boundaries. Mechanistically, single-molecule imaging reveals that dimers of Smc5/6 specifically recognize the tip of positively supercoiled DNA plectonemes, and efficiently initiates loop extrusion to gather the supercoiled DNA into a large plectonemic loop. Finally, Hi-C analysis shows that Smc5/6 links chromosomal regions containing transcription-induced positive supercoiling in cis. Altogether, our findings indicate that Smc5/6 controls the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes by recognizing and initiating loop extrusion on positively supercoiled DNA.

SMC5/6 facilitates joint molecule resolution and stepwise loss of cohesin to promote meiotic chromosome segregation

Project description:During meiosis, Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes underpin two fundamental features of meiosis: homologous recombination and chromosome segregation. While meiotic functions of the cohesin and condensin complexes have been delineated, the role of the third SMC complex, Smc5/6, remains enigmatic. Diminished Smc5/6 function causes severe defects in nuclear division, but the underlying causes of these defects remain unclear. Here we identify specific, essential meiotic functions for the Smc5/6 complex in homologous recombination and regulation of cohesin. We show that Smc5/6 is enriched at centromeres and cohesin-association sites where it regulates sister-chromatid cohesion and the timely removal of cohesin from chromosomal arms, respectively. Smc5/6 also localizes to recombination hotspots, where it promotes normal formation and resolution of joint-molecule intermediates. Furthermore, we find that Smc5/6 specifically promotes resolution of joint molecules via the XPF-family endonuclease, Mus81-Mms4Eme1. We propose that Smc5/6 acts as a chaperone for ‘mitotic’-like recombination processes during meiosis.

Distinct Roles for Condensin's Two ATPase Sites in Chromosome Condensation.

Project description:Condensin is a conserved SMC complex that uses its ATPase machinery to structure genomes, but how it does so is largely unknown. We show that condensin’s ATPase has a dual role in chromosome condensation. Mutation of one ATPase site impairs condensation, while mutating the second site results in hyperactive condensin that compacts DNA faster than wild type, both in vivo and in vitro. Whereas one site drives loop formation, the second site is involved in the formation of more stable higher-order Z loop structures. Using hyperactive condensin I, we reveal that condensin II is not intrinsically needed for the shortening of mitotic chromosomes. Condensin II rather is required for a straight chromosomal axis and enables faithful chromosome segregation by counteracting the formation of ultrafine DNA bridges. SMC complexes with distinct roles for each ATPase site likely reflect a universal principle that enables these molecular machines to intricately control chromosome architecture.
