Project description:We performed RNA seq analysis on Escherichia coli MG1655 recovering from DNA damage induced by mitomycin C Escherichia coli was grown overnight in luria broth at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm. The culture was back diluted to ~OD600 0.01 and allowed to grow to OD600 ~0.1. It was then treated with 1 μg/ml mitomycin C for 60 min. Cells were pelleted, washed with fresh media, resuspended to OD600 ~0.1 and then allowed to recover from damage treatment. Samples were collected before addition of damage as control. Samples were also collected every 20 min for 3 hrs during recovery and then every 1 hr for 3 hrs after that. Cultures were maintained in log phase (OD600 ~0.1 - 0.4) throughout the experiment. RNA was extracted using the Direct-zol™ RNA MiniPrep (Zymo, Cat no. R2052A81) and RNA Clean & Concentrator™-25 (Zymo, Cat no. R1018A82). RNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation kit. Libraries were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform. Samples were collected from 2 independent experiments.

Project description:Satellite cells are adult muscle stem cells responsible for muscle regeneration after acute or chronic injuries. The balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation impacts the kinetics and efficiency of skeletal muscle regeneration. This study elucidated the function of Islr in satellite cell asymmetric division. Satellite cell specific deletion of Islr compromises muscle regeneration in adult mice by impairing the satellite cell pool. Islr is pivotal for satellite cell proliferation and its deletion promotes asymmetric cell fate segregation of satellite cells. A mechanistic search revealed that Islr interacts and stabilizes the Sparc protein, which activates p-ERK1/2 signaling required for asymmetric division. In combination, the findings have identified Islr as a key regulator of satellite cell asymmetric division through the Sparc/p-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which provides a new insight into satellite cell biology and open avenues for the treatment of myopathy.

Project description:Faithful propagation of life requires coordination of DNA replication and segregation with cell growth and division. In bacteria, this results in cell size homeostasis and periodicity in replication and division. The situation is perturbed under stress such as DNA damage, which induces filamentation as cell cycle progression is blocked to allow for repair. Mechanisms that release this morphological state for reentry into wild-type growth are unclear. Here we show that damage-induced Escherichia coli filaments divide asymmetrically, producing short daughter cells that tend to be devoid of damage and have wild-type size and growth dynamics. The Min-system primarily determines division site location in the filament, with additional regulation of division completion by chromosome segregation. Collectively, we propose that coordination between chromosome (and specifically terminus) segregation and cell division may result in asymmetric division in damage-induced filaments and facilitate recovery from a stressed state.

Project description:Human tumors often contain slowly proliferating cancer cells that resist treatment but we do not know precisely how these cells arise. We show that rapidly proliferating cancer cells can divide asymmetrically to produce slowly proliferating “G0-like” progeny that are enriched following chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Asymmetric cancer cell division results from asymmetric suppression of AKT/PKB kinase signaling in one daughter cell during telophase of mitosis. Moreover, inhibition of AKT signaling with small molecule drugs can induce asymmetric cancer cell division and the production of slow proliferators. Cancer cells therefore appear to continuously flux between symmetric and asymmetric division depending on the precise state of their AKT signaling network. This model may have significant implications for understanding how tumors grow, evade treatment, and recur. 3 replicates each of MCF7 Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) high, HCT116 ROS high, MCF7 ROS low, and HCT116 ROS low.

Project description:Asymmetric partitioning of fate-determinants is a mechanism that contributes to T cell differentiation. However, it remained unclear whether the ability of T cells to divide asymmetrically is influenced by their differentiation state, as well as if enforcing asymmetric cell division rates would have an impact on T cell differentiation and memory formation. Using the murine LCMV infection model, we established a correlation between cell stemness and the ability of CD8+ T cells to undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD). Transient mTOR inhibition proved to increase ACD rates in naïve and memory cells, and to install this ability in exhausted CD8+ T cells. Functionally, enforced ACD correlated with increased memory potential, leading to more efficient recall response and viral control upon acute or chronic LCMV infection. Moreover, transient mTOR inhibition also increased ACD rates in human CD8+ T cells. Transcriptional profiling of first daughter cells, obtained by sorting CD8lo and CD8hi cells after in vitro stimulation, revealed that progenies emerging from enforced ACD exhibited more pronounced early memory signatures, which functionally endowed these cells with strengthened memory features.

Project description:Asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) generate two daughter cells with identical genetic information but distinct cell fates. Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial for cell fate specification, and it remains unclear how epigenetic information is inherited. Here, we report asymmetric segregation of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex (NuRD) during ACDs in Caenorhabditis elegans. NuRD is enriched to chromosomes of the future surviving but not apoptotic daughter cell, whereas NuRD evenly distributes to two viable siblings. Disruption of ACDs causes symmetric NuRD inheritance, and an ectopic gain of NuRD in apoptotic daughters allows cell survival and differentiation. Lack of NuRD upregulates the expression of the vital cell death-inducing gene egl-1 by increasing H3K27 acetylation on the egl-1 locus, which activates the EGL-1-CED-9-CED-4-CED-3 pathway to promote apoptosis. We propose that biased NuRD segregation during ACDs provides a previously unrecognized yet common mechanism for asymmetrically partitioning epigenetic information that contributes to binary cell fate decisions.

Project description:WhiA is a highly unusual transcriptional regulator related to a family of eukaryotic homing endonucleases. WhiA is required for sporulation in the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces, but WhiA homologues of unknown function are also found throughout the Gram-positive bacteria. To better understand the role of WhiA in Streptomyces development and its function as a transcription factor, we identified the WhiA regulon through a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) and microarray transcriptional profiling, exploiting a new model organism for the genus, Streptomyces venezuelae, which sporulates in liquid culture. The regulon encompasses ~240 transcription units, and WhiA appears to function almost equally as an activator and as a repressor. Bioinformatic analysis of the upstream regions of the complete regulon, combined with DNase I footprinting, identified a short but highly conserved asymmetric sequence, GACAC, associated with the majority of WhiA targets. Construction of a null mutant showed that whiA is required for the initiation of sporulation septation and chromosome segregation in S. venezuelae, and several genes encoding key proteins of the Streptomyces cell division machinery, such as ftsZ, ftsW, and ftsK, were found to be directly activated by WhiA during development. Several other genes encoding proteins with important roles in development were also identified as WhiA targets, including the sporulation-specific sigma factor (WhiG) and the diguanylate cyclase CdgB. Cell division is tightly coordinated with the orderly arrest of apical growth in the sporogenic cell, and filP, encoding a key component of the polarisome that directs apical growth, is a direct target for WhiA-mediated repression during sporulation.

Project description:Across life neural stem cells (NSCs) generate new neurons in the mammalian brain through asymmetric neurogenic and self-renewing cell divisions. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying NSC asymmetry remain unknown. Using fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) we here show that NSCs in vitro and within the developing forebrain generate a lateral diffusion barrier during cell division resulting in asymmetric segregation of cellular components. The strength of the diffusion barrier is dynamically regulated with age and depends on the proper function of lamin-associated nuclear envelope constituents. Strikingly, age-associated or experimental impairment of the diffusion barrier disrupts asymmetric segregation of damaged proteins, a product of aging. Thus, the data presented here identify a mechanism how age is asymmetrically distributed during somatic stem cell division. For microarray analysis we analysed gene expression in cells derived from the hippocampi of 6 week old (young) or 9 month old (old) male C57BL/6JRj mice. 6 samples were analyzed YoungNSC, 3 replicates OldNSC, 3 replicates

Project description:Asymmetric cell division results in two distinctly fated daughter cells to generate cellular diversity. A major molecular hallmark of an asymmetric division is the unequal partitioning of cell-fate determinant proteins. We have previously established that growth factor signaling promotes protein depalmitoylation to foster polarized protein localization, which in turns drives migration and metastasis. Here, we report protein palmitoylation as a key mechanism for the asymmetric partitioning of the cell-fate determinants Numb (Notch antagonist) and β-catenin (canonical Wnt regulator) through the activity of a depalmitoylating enzyme, APT1. Using point mutants, we show specific palmitoylated residues on proteins, such as Numb, are required for asymmetric localization. Furthermore, by live-cell imaging, we show that reciprocal interactions between APT1 and CDC42 regulate the asymmetric localization of Numb and β-catenin to the plasma membrane. This in turn restricts Notch and Wnt transcriptional activity to one daughter cell. Moreover, we show altering APT1 expression changes the transcriptional signatures to those resembling that of Notch and β-catenin in MDA-MB-231 cells. We also show loss of APT1 depletes the population of CD44+/CD24lo/ALDH+ tumorigenic cells in colony formation assays. Together, the findings of this study demonstrate that palmitoylation, via APT1, is a major mechanism of asymmetric cell division regulating Notch and Wnt-associated protein dynamics, gene expression, and cellular functions.
