Project description:In eukaryotic cells, local chromatin structure and chromatin organization in the nucleus both influence transcriptional regulation. At the local level, the Fun30 chromatin remodeler Fft3 is essential for maintaining proper chromatin structure at centromeres and subtelomeres in fission yeast. Using genome-wide mapping and live cell imaging, we show that this role is linked to controlling nuclear organization of its targets. In fft3M-NM-^T cells, subtelomeres lose their association with the LEM domain protein Man1 at the nuclear periphery and move to the interior of the nucleus. Furthermore, genes in these domains are upregulated and active chromatin marks increase. Fft3 is also enriched at retrotransposon-derived long terminal repeat (LTR) elements at the borders of subtelomeres and at tRNA genes. In cells lacking Fft3, these sites lose their peripheral positioning and show reduced nucleosome occupancy. We propose that Fft3 has a global role in mediating association between specific chromatin domains and components of the nuclear envelope by maintaining chromatin structure required for anchoring DNA insulators to nuclear pores. For MNase samples, duplicate mutant mononucleosome fractions were compared with duplicate WT mononucleosomes.

Using genome-wide mapping and live cell imaging, we show that this role is linked to controlling nuclear organization of its targets. In fft3Δ cells, subtelomeres lose their association with the LEM domain protein Man1 at the nuclear periphery and move to the interior of the nucleus. Furthermore, genes in these domains are upregulated and active chromatin marks increase.

For DamID samples, we recorded methylation levels for Dam fusion proteins and compared them to Dam-only control samples. For ChIP samples, we compared immuno-precipitated DNA to mock or input controls.

Project description:Lamins and transmembrane proteins within the nuclear envelope are regulators of nuclear structure and chromatin organization. Nuclear Envelope Transmembrane Protein 39 (Net39) is a muscle-restricted nuclear envelope protein. We show that mice lacking Net39 succumb to severe myopathy and neonatal lethality, with concomitant disruption in nuclear integrity, chromatin accessibility, gene expression and metabolism. These abnormalities resemble those of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), caused by mutations in A-type Lamins (LMNA) and other genes, like Emerin (EMD). We observe that Net39 is downregulated in EDMD patients, implicating Net39 in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Our findings reveal an intimate role for the nuclear envelope in maintaining muscle chromatin organization, gene expression and function, and highlight the importance of Net39 in these processes and in the molecular etiology of EDMD.

Project description:The cytoplasmic functions of Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family (WASP) proteins are well known and include roles in cytoskeleton reorganization and membrane-cytoskeletal interactions important for membrane/vesicle trafficking, morphogenesis, immune response and signal transduction. Mis-regulation of these proteins is associated with immune deficiency and metastasis. Cytoplasmic WASP proteins act as effectors of Rho family GTPases and polymerize branched actin through the Arp2/3 complex. However, recent evidence has revealed that this classically cytoplasmic protein family also functions in the nucleus. Previously, we identified Drosophila washout (wash) as a new member of the WASP family with essential cytoplasmic roles in early development. Here we show that Wash is also present in the nucleus and plays a key role in nuclear organization via its interaction with Lamin Dm0 at the nuclear envelope. Wash and Lamin Dm0 occupy similar genomic regions that overlap with transcriptionally silent chromatin including constitutive heterochromatin. Strikingly, wash mutant and knockdown nuclei exhibit the same abnormal wrinkled morphology observed in diverse laminopathies, including the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, and consistent with disruption of the nuclear organization of several sub-nuclear structures including cajal bodies and the chromocenter in salivary glands. We also found that Wash and Lamin knockdown disrupt chromatin accessibility of repressive compartments in agreement with an observed global redistribution of repressive histone modifications. Functional genetic approaches show wash mutants exhibit similar phenotypes to lamin Dm0 mutants, suggesting they participate in similar regulatory networks. Our results reveal a novel role for Wash in modulating nuclear organization via its interaction with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin Dm0. These findings highlight the functional complexity of WASP family proteins and provide new venues to understand their molecular roles in cell biology and disease. DamID chromatin profiling demostrate that Wash binds similar regions to those bound by Lamin Dm0, in particular transcriptional silent chromatin

We evaluated the effect of Wash knockdown in S2R+ cells on chromatin accessibility using an M.SssI-based approach.
