Project description:Transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) can provoke genome instability. Progressing transcription and replication machineries profoundly impact their underlying chromatin template and thus, conflict sites are vulnerable to chromatin and epigenome alterations. Here, we engineered an inducible TRC reporter system using a genome-integrated R-loop-prone sequence. Using this system, we characterized the dynamic changes of the local chromatin structure inflicted by TRCs, leading to reduced nucleosome occupancy and replication fork blockage. Consequently, inducing a handful TRCs on the genome results in a measurable global replication stress response. We also find a TRC-specific increase in H3K79 methylation at the R-loop forming TRC-site. Accordingly, inhibition of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L leads to increased cellular TRCs and exacerbated DNA damage response, suggesting that deposition of this mark is required for effective detection and resolution of TRCs. Thus, our work highlights the molecular dynamics and reveals specific epigenetic modifiers bookmarking TRC sites, relevant to cancer and other diseases.

Project description:Chaperones, nucleosome remodeling complexes and histone acetyltransferases have been implicated in nucleosome disassembly at promoters of particular yeast genes, but whether these co-factors function ubiquitously, and the impact of nucleosome eviction on transcription genome-wide, are poorly understood. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation of histone H3 and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in mutants lacking single or multiple co-factors to address these issues for ~200 genes belonging to the Gcn4 transcriptome, of which ~70 exhibit marked reductions in H3 promoter occupancy on induction by amino acid starvation. Examining four target genes in a panel of mutants indicated that SWI/SNF, Gcn5, the Hsp70 co-chaperone Ydj1, and chromatin-associated factor Yta7 are required downstream of Gcn4 binding for robust H3 eviction in otherwise wild-type cells. Using ChIP-seq to interrogate all 70 exemplar genes in single, double and triple mutants implicated Gcn5, Snf2 and Ydj1 in H3 eviction at most, but not all Gcn4 target promoters, with Gcn5 generally playing the greatest role and Ydj1 the least. Remarkably, these 3 co-factors cooperate similarly in H3 eviction at virtually all yeast promoters. Defective H3 eviction in co-factor mutants was coupled with reduced Pol II occupancies for the Gcn4 transcriptome and the most highly expressed uninduced genes, but the relative Pol II levels at most genes were unaffected or even elevated. These findings indicate that nucleosome eviction is crucial for robust transcription of highly expressed genes, but that other steps in gene activation are more rate-limiting for most other yeast genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA from WT (induced(+SM) and uninduced(no SM)) and mutants (induced(+SM)) followed by paired-end sequencing. Nucleosomal DNA obtained by MNase digestion were also subjected to paired-end sequencing.

Project description:The experiment was performed to assess the importance of nucleosome eviction for the binding of condensin to chromatin during mitosis. The condensin complex associates with chromatin during mitosis to ensure chromosome condensation and accurate segregation, but how this binding is achieved remains poorly understood. Our study indicates that transcription co-activators Gcn5 and Mst2 assist condensin binding during mitosis by evicting nucleosomes. To reach this conclusion, we mapped nucleosomes, during mitosis, in wild-type and gcn5mst2 mutant strains. This experiment allowed us (1) to identify nucleosome-depleted regions (ndrs) during mitosis and to show that condensin tends to colocalize with ndr at the 3ends of genes, and (2) to confirm the importance of nucleosome eviction from ndrs by gcn5 and mst2, during mitosis, for the binding of condensin to chromatin.this experiment determines the patterns of nucleosomes in wild type and mutant fission yeast cells arrested in early mitosis. We analysed wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 histone acetylatransferase (gcn5D) and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2 histone acetyltransferases (Gcn5Dmst2D). All cells used in this study expressed a GFP-tagged version of condensin (Cnd2-GFP) and were blocked in early mitosis at 19C by the nda3-KM311 mutation. Mitotic indexes were determined by scoring the accumulation of Cnd2-GFP in the nucleus. Mitotic cells were collected and chromatin was digested by increasing amount of MNase to produce mononucleosomes. Mononucleosomal DNA was purified on an agarose gel and sequence on an Illumina Nextseq 500 apparatus. Three replicates of wild type, gcn5D and gcn5Dmst2D were analysed. Nucleosome patterns were determined in wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2.

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers are commonly mutated in human cancer. Mammalian SWI/SNF complexes comprise three conserved multi-subunit chromatin remodelers (cBAF, ncBAF and PBAF) that share the BRG1 (also known as SMARCA4) subunit responsible for the main ATPase activity. BRG1 is the most frequently mutated Snf2-like ATPase in cancer. Here we have investigated the role of SWI/SNF in genome instability, a hallmark of cancer cells, given its role in transcription, DNA replication and DNA damage repair. We show that depletion of BRG1 increases R-loops and R-loop-dependent DNA breaks, as well as transcription-replication conflicts. BRG1 colocalizes with R-loops and replication fork blocks, as determined by FANCD2 foci, with BRG1 depletion being epistatic to FANCD2 silencing. Our study, extended to other components of SWI/SNF, uncovers a key role of the SWI/SNF complex, in particular cBAF, in helping resolve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts; thus, unveiling a novel mechanism by which chromatin remodeling protects genome integrity.

Project description:R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures composed of an RNA:DNA hybrid and displaced DNA strand. These structures can halt DNA replication when formed co- transcriptionally in the opposite orientation to replication fork progression. Recent studies have shown that replication forks stalled by co-transcription R-loops can be restarted by a mechanism involving fork cleavage by MUS81 endonuclease, followed by reactivation of transcription, and fork religation by the DNA ligase IV (LIG4)/XRCC4 complex. However, how R-loops are eliminated to allow the sequential restart of transcription and replication in this pathway remains elusive. Here, we identified the human DDX17 helicase as a factor that associates with R-loops and counteracts R-loop-mediated replication stress to preserve genome stability. We show that DDX17 unwinds RNA:DNA hybrids in vitro and promotes MUS81-dependent restart of R-loop-stalled forks in human cells in a manner dependent on its helicase activity. Loss of DDX17 helicase induces accumulation of R-loops and the formation of R-loop-dependent anaphase bridges and micronuclei. These findings establish DDX17 as a component of the MUS81-LIG4 pathway for resolution of R-loop-mediated transcription- replication conflicts, which may be involved in R-loop unwinding.

Project description:Transcription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and transcription-replication collisions constitute a main cause of genome instability. At a genome-wide scale these obstacles can be detected by the accumulation of the replicative Rrm3 helicase required for RF progression through protein obstacles. Here we show that FACT, a chromatin-reorganizing complex that swaps nucleosomes around the RNA polymerase during transcription elongation and that also has a role in replication, is needed to resolve transcription-replication conflicts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Importantly, ChIP-chip analyses of Rrm3 reveal that replication progression impairment in FACT mutants occur genome-wide, but preferentially at highly transcribed regions. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against Rrm3-FLAG in the yeast S. cerevisiae.
