Project description:Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) and its metazoan Trithorax orthologs have been linked with the epigenetic maintenance of transcriptional activity. To identify mechanisms by which MLL perpetuates active transcription in dividing cells, we investigated its role during M-phase of the cell cycle. Unlike other chromatin modifying enzymes examined, we found that MLL associates with gene promoters packaged within condensed mitotic chromosomes. Genome-wide location analysis identified a globally rearranged pattern of MLL occupancy during mitosis in a manner favoring genes that were highly transcribed during interphase. Knockdown experiments revealed that MLL retention at gene promoters during mitosis accelerates transcription reactivation following mitotic exit. MLL tethers Menin, RbBP5, and ASH2L to its occupied sites during mitosis, but is dispensable for preserving histone H3K4 methylation. These findings implicate mitotic bookmarking as a component of Trithorax-based gene regulation which may facilitate inheritance of active gene expression states during cell division. anti-MLL ChIP (antibody 456) and anti-pol2 chip (sc-899) in chromatin prepared from interphase and mitotic HeLa cells

Project description:During mitosis, RNA polymerase and most transcription factors are excluded from the chromosomes and transcription ceases. The transcriptional re-activation of the genome, following mitosis, requires the re-setting of cell-type specific programs that were initially established during development. However, only about one-fifth of transcription factors are retained on chromosomes throughout mitosis and a subset of these have been shown to facilitate target gene reactivation during mitotic exit. How such M-bM-^@M-^\bookmarkingM-bM-^@M-^] factors bind to chromatin in mitosis and re-activate transcription is central to the stability of transcriptional programs across multiple cell cycles. We compared a diverse set of transcription factors involved in liver differentiation and found different modes of mitotic chromosome binding. The pioneer transcription factor FoxA1, which is among the first to bind liver genes in development, exhibits virtually complete mitotic chromosome binding, whereas other liver factors bind with a range of efficiencies. Yet genome-wide analysis shows that only about 15% of the FoxA1 interphase target sites are bound in mitosis; the latter include sites at genes for maintaining cell differentiation. FoxA1 mutants that perturb specific and nonspecific DNA binding reveal a significant contribution of nonspecific binding events in mitotic chromatin. Such nonspecific binding appears to spread from interphase FoxA1 targets and may serve as storage sites. The hierarchy of specific binding, nonspecific binding, partial chromatin binding, and failure to bind mitotic chromosomes reflects the temporal sequence of the factorsM-bM-^@M-^Y developmental roles in gene activation. Three replicate chIP-seq data sets each are included for mitotic and asynchronously cycling cells; a single input lane from each condition is also included.

Project description:To maintain cellular identities during development, gene expression profiles must be faithfully propagated through cell generations. The reestablishment of gene expression patterns upon mitotic exit is thought to be mediated, in part, by mitotic bookmarking by transcription factors (TF). However, the mechanisms and functions of TF mitotic bookmarking during early embryogenesis remain poorly understood. In this study, taking advantage of the naturally synchronized mitoses of Drosophila early embryos, we provide evidence that the pioneer-like transcription factor GAF acts as stable mitotic bookmarker during zygotic genome activation. We report that GAF remains associated to a large fraction of its interphase targets (37%). Mitotically-bound loci include cis-regulatory sequences of key developmental genes, with both active and repressive chromatin signatures. GAF mitotic targets are globally accessible during mitosis and a subset is also mitotically bookmarked via histone acetylation (H4K8ac). By monitoring the kinetics of transcriptional activation in living embryos, we provide evidence that GAF binding establishes competence for rapid activation upon mitotic exit.

Project description:From the cell-based investigation, RBPJ is one of the few proteins retained on chromatin during cell division. ChIP-seq experiments were performed to understand the binding pattern of RBPJ between interphase and mitosis and to identify the genes requiring RBPJ binding for the maintenance of transcriptional memory. Our results indicate that ~60% of RBPJ occupancy in interphase is retained on mitotic chromatin, and that accounts for 80% of RBPJ in mitosis. The gene ontology analysis reveals that the genes involved in stem cell maintenance, development and differentiation-related pathways correlated with sites of RBPJ occupancy. GO analysis also suggests that RBPJ plays a role in the metabolism and processing of non-coding RNAs. Motif analysis of RBPJ binding sites reveals that not only RBPJ motif but also CTCF motif are enriched around RBPJ binding sites. From these results, we propose that RBPJ can function as a mitotic bookmark, marking genes for efficient transcriptional activation or repression upon exit from mitosis, and may play a role in higher order chromatin structure by collaborating with CTCF. To compare the genomic RBPJ localization in mitotic and interphase cells, mouse F9 cells were harvested and labeled as cycling cells (containing 95% interphase and 5% mitosis cells); nocodazole treated F9 cells were harvested and labeled as mitotic cells. Cell samples were proceeded to ChIP-seq experiments, and each of the experiment contains a set of ChIP DNA product: input as the background control and IP as the RBPJ binding product. Background noise was substracted and the obtained signal was used for the comparison of interphase and mitosis by statistical analysis. Please note that processed data (*bed) was generated from *rep1 sample (i.e. no processed-data for rep2 sample).

Project description:The topological state of chromosomes determines their mechanical properties, dynamics, and function. Recent work indicated that interphase chromosomes are largely free of entanglements. Here, we use Hi-C, polymer simulations and multi-contact 3C, and propose that, in contrast, mitotic chromosomes are self-entangled. We explore how a mitotic self-entangled state is converted into an unentangled interphase state during mitotic exit. Most mitotic entanglements are removed during anaphase/telophase, with remaining ones removed during early G1, in a Topoisomerase II-dependent process. Polymer models suggest a two-stage disentanglement pathway: first, decondensation of mitotic chromosomes with remaining condensin loops produces entropic forces that bias Topoisomerase II activity towards decatenation. At the second stage, the loops are released, and formation of new entanglements is prevented by lower Topoisomerase II activity, allowing the establishment of unentangled and territorial G1 chromosomes. When mitotic entanglements are not removed, in experiment and models, a normal interphase state cannot be acquired.

Project description:Candida albicans demonstrates three main growth morphologies yeast, pseudohyphal and true hyphal forms. Cell separation is distinct in these morphological forms and the process of separation is closely linked to the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the small GTPase Tem1 is known to initiate the mitotic exit network, a signalling pathway involved in signalling the end of mitosis and initiating cytokinesis and cell separation. We have characterised the role of Tem1 in C. albicans, and demonstrate that it is essential for mitotic exit and cytokinesis, and that this essential function is signalled through the kinase Cdc15. Consistent with its role in activating the mitotic exit network Tem1 localised to spindle pole bodies in a cell cycle dependent manner. Cells depleted of Tem1 displayed highly polarised growth but ultimately fail to complete cytokinesis and re-enter the cell cycle following nuclear division. At the transcriptional level genes downregulated following the depletion of Tem1 where significantly enriched for genes whose expression peaks early in the cell cycle and for those associated with glycolysis. For expression analysis triplicate RNA samples were generated from exponentially growing C. albicans yeast cells and from cells following 8 h inhibition of TEM1 expression. Gene expression was determined using RNA-seq on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Project description:Entry into mitosis is driven by the coordinated phosphorylation of thousands of proteins. For the cell to complete mitosis and divide into two identical daughter cells it must regulate dephosphorylation of these proteins in a highly ordered, temporal manner. There is currently a lack of a complete understanding of the phosphorylation changes that occur during the initial stages of mitotic exit in human cells. Therefore, we performed a large unbiased, global analysis to map the very first dephosphorylation events that occur as cells exit mitosis. We identified and quantified the modification of >16,000 phosphosites on >3,300 unique proteins during early mitotic exit, providing up to 8-fold greater resolution than previous studies. Only a small fraction (~10%) of phosphorylation sites were dephosphorylated during early mitotic exit and these occurred on proteins involved in critical early exit events, including organization of the mitotic spindle, the spindle assembly checkpoint, and reformation of the nuclear envelope. Surprisingly this enrichment was observed across all kinase consensus motifs, indicating that it is independent of the upstream phosphorylating kinase. Therefore, dephosphorylation of these sites is likely determined by the specificity of phosphatase/s rather than the activity of kinase/s. Dephosphorylation was significantly affected by the amino acids at and surrounding the phosphorylation site, with several unique evolutionarily conserved amino acids correlating strongly with phosphorylation status. These data provide a potential mechanism for the specificity of phosphatases, and how they co-ordinate the ordered events of mitotic exit. In summary, our results provide a global overview of the phosphorylation changes that occur during the very first stages of mitotic exit, providing novel mechanistic insight into how phosphatase/s specifically regulate this critical transition.

Project description:In mitosis, most transcription factors detach from chromatin, but some are retained and bookmark genomic sites. Mitotic bookmarking has been implicated in lineage inheritance, pluripotency and reprogramming. However, the biological significance of this mechanism in vivo remains unclear. Here, we address mitotic retention of the hemogenic factors GATA2, GFI1B and FOS during haematopoietic specification. We show that GATA2 remains bound to chromatin throughout mitosis, in contrast to GFI1B and FOS, via C-terminal zinc finger-mediated DNA binding. GATA2 bookmarks a subset of its interphase targets that are co-enriched for RUNX1 and other regulators of definitive haematopoiesis. Remarkably, homozygous mice harbouring the cyclin B1 mitosis degradation domain upstream Gata2 partially phenocopy knockout mice. Degradation of GATA2 at mitotic exit abolishes definitive haematopoiesis at aorta-gonad-mesonephros, placenta and foetal liver, but does not impair yolk sac haematopoiesis. Our findings implicate GATA2-mediated mitotic bookmarking as critical for definitive haematopoiesis and highlight a dependency on bookmarkers for lineage commitment.
