In vivo evidence for ATPase-dependent DNA translocation by the Bacillus subtilis SMC condensin complex

ABSTRACT: Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes shape the genomes of virtually all organisms but how they function remains incompletely understood. Recent studies in bacteria and eukaryotes have led to a unifying model in which these ring-shaped ATPases act along contiguous DNA segments processively enlarging DNA loops. In support of this model, single-molecule imaging experiments indicate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae condensin complexes can extrude DNA loops in an ATP hydrolysis dependent manner in vitro. Here, using time-resolved high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) we investigate the interplay between ATPase activity of the Bacillus subtilis SMC complex and loop formation in vivo. We show that point mutants in the SMC nucleotide binding domain that impair but do not eliminate ATPase activity not only exhibit delays in de novo loop formation but also have reduced rates of processive loop enlargement. These data provide in vivo evidence that SMC complexes function as loop extruders.

Bacillus subtilis SMC complexes juxtapose chromosome arms as they travel from origin to terminus

Project description:Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes play critical roles in chromosome dynamics in virtually all organisms but how they function remains poorly understood. In Bacillus subtilis, SMC condensin complexes are topologically loaded at centromeric sites adjacent to the replication origin. Here we provide evidence that these ring-shaped assemblies tether the left and right chromosome arms together while traveling from the origin to the terminus (>2 Mb) at rates >50kb/min. Condensin movement scales linearly with time arguing for an active transport mechanism. These data support a model in which SMC complexes function by processively enlarging DNA loops. Loop formation followed by processive enlargement provides a mechanism for how condensin complexes compact and resolve sister chromatids in mitosis and how cohesin generates topologically associating domains (TADs) during interphase.

DNA-loop extruding SMC complexes can traverse one another in vivo

Project description:Chromosome organization by structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes is vital to living organisms. SMC complexes were recently found to be motors that extrude DNA loops. However, it remains unclear what happens when multiple complexes encounter one another in vivo on the same DNA and how interactions help organize an active genome. We created a crash-course track system to study SMC complex encounters in vivo by engineering the Bacillus subtilis chromosome to have defined SMC loading sites. Chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) analyses of over 20 engineered strains show an amazing variety of never-before-seen chromosome folding patterns. Via 3D polymer simulations and theory, we find that these patterns require SMC complexes to bypass each other in vivo, as recently seen in an in vitro study. We posit that the bypassing activity enables SMC complexes to spatially organize a functional and busy genome.

The ParB clamp docks onto Smc for DNA loading via a joint-ParB interface

Project description:Chromosomes readily unlink from one another and segregate to daughter cells during cell division highlighting a remarkable ability of cells to organize long DNA molecules. SMC complexes mediate chromosome folding by DNA loop extrusion. In most bacteria, SMC complexes start loop extrusion at the ParB/parS partition complex formed near the replication origin. Whether they are recruited by recognizing a specific DNA structure in the partition complex or a protein component is unknown. By replacing genes in Bacillus subtilis with orthologous sequences from Streptococcus pneumoniae, we show that the three subunits of the bacterial Smc complex together with the ParB protein form a functional module that can organize and segregate chromosomes when transplanted into another organism. Using chimeric proteins and chemical cross-linking, we find that ParB binds to the Smc subunit directly. We map a binding interface to the Smc joint and the ParB CTP-binding domain. Structure prediction indicates how the ParB clamp presents DNA to the Smc complex to initiate DNA loop extrusion.

A low Smc flux avoids collisions and facilitates chromosome organization in B. subtilis

Project description:SMC complexes are widely conserved ATP-powered loop extrusion motors indispensable for the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. How SMC complexes translocate along DNA for loop extrusion and what happens when two complexes meet on the same DNA molecule is largely unknown. Revealing the origins and the consequences of SMC encounters is crucial for understanding the folding process not only of bacterial, but also of eukaryotic chromosomes. Here, we uncover several factors that influence bacterial chromosome organization by modulating the probability of such clashes. These factors include the number, the strength and the distribution of Smc loading sites, the residence time on the chromosome, the translocation rate, and the cellular abundance of Smc complexes. By studying various mutants, we show that these parameters are fine-tuned to reduce the frequency of encounters between Smc complexes, presumably as a risk mitigation strategy. Mild perturbations hamper chromosome organization by causing Smc collisions, implying that the cellular capacity to resolve them is rather limited. Altogether, we identify mechanisms that help to avoid Smc collisions and their resolution by Smc traversal or other potentially risky molecular transactions.

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.

Cryo-EM structures of holo condensin reveal a subunit flip-flop mechanism

Project description:This data is from BS3 crosslinked condensin tetramer How protein complexes of the SMC family fold DNA into the large loops that are fundamental for the 3D organization of genomes is a central unresolved question of chromosome biology. We used electron cryomicroscopy to investigate the reaction cycle of the SMC complex condensin, which is a key determinant of chromosome morphology and behavior during mitosis. Our structures of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae condensin holo complex at different functional stages suggest that ATP binding induces the transition from a folded-rod SMC conformation into an open architecture and triggers the exchange of the two HEAT-repeat subunits at the SMC ATPase head domains. We propose that these steps result in the interconversion of DNA binding sites in the catalytic core that form the basis of the DNA translocation and loop-extrusion activities of condensin.

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.
