Project description:This study was designed to investigate DNA supercoiling across the human genome and to understand how supercoiling domains impact on higher levels of genome organisation. DNA supercoiling is an inherent consequence of twisting DNA and is critical for regulating gene expression and DNA replication. However, DNA supercoiling at a genomic scale in human cells is uncharacterized. To map supercoiling we used biotinylated-trimethylpsoralen as a DNA structure probe to show the genome is organized into supercoiling domains. Domains are formed and remodeled by RNA polymerase and topoisomerase activities and are flanked by GC-AT boundaries and CTCF binding sites. Under-wound domains are transcriptionally active, enriched in topoisomerase I, M-bM-^@M-^\openM-bM-^@M-^] chromatin fibers and DNaseI sites, but are depleted of topoisomerase II. Furthermore DNA supercoiling impacts on additional levels of chromatin compaction as under-wound domains are cytologically decondensed, topologically constrained, and decompacted by transcription of short RNAs. We suggest that supercoiling domains create a topological environment that facilitates gene activation providing an evolutionary purpose for clustering genes along chromosomes. The binding of bTMP, as a reporter for DNA supercoiling, was investigated in RPE1 cells. Experiments were biological replicates

Project description:Specialized chromatin exists at centromeres and must be precisely transmitted during DNA replication. The mechanisms involved in the propagation of these structures remain elusive. Fission yeast centromeres are composed of two chromatin domains: the central CENP-ACnp1 kinetochore domain and flanking heterochromatin domains. Here we show that fission yeast Mcl1, a DNA polymerase ? (Pol?) accessory protein, is critical for maintenance of centromeric chromatin. In a screen for mutants that alleviate both central domain and outer repeat silencing, we isolated several cos mutants, of which cos1 is allelic to mcl1. The mcl1-101 mutation causes reduced CENP-ACnp1 in the central domain and an aberrant increase in histone acetylation in both domains. These phenotypes are also observed in a mutant of swi7+, which encodes a catalytic subunit of Pol?. Mcl1 forms S-phase-specific nuclear foci, which colocalize with those of PCNA and Pol?. These results suggest that Mcl1 and Pol? are required for propagation of centromere chromatin structures during DNA replication. Keywords: ChIP-chip analysis, S. pombe Antibodies used were ?-acetyl-histone H4 antiserum (Upstate) and ?-histone H4 pan antibody (Upstate). ChIP-on-chip was carried out using IVT amplification method. ChIP-chip data were comfirmed by real-time PCR.
