Project description:As in Eukaryotes, bacterial genomes are not randomly folded. Bacterial genetic information is generally carried on a circular chromosome with a single origin of replication from which two replication forks proceed bidirectionaly towards the opposite terminus region. Here we investigate the higher-order architecture of the Escherichia coli genome, showing its partition into two structuraly distinct entities by a complex and intertwined network of contacts: the replication terminus (ter) region and the rest of the chromosome. Outside ter, the condensin MukBEF and the ubiquitous nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) HU promote DNA contacts in the megabase range. Within ter, the MatP protein prevents MukBEF activity and contacts are restricted to ~280 kb creating a domain with distinct structural properties. We also show how other NAPs contribute to nucleoid organization, such as H-NS that restricts short-range interactions. Combined, these results reveal the contributions of major, evolutionary conserved proteins in a bacterial chromosome organization.

Project description:Faithful chromosome segregation requires packaging of the genome on both global and local scales. Condensin plays a crucial role at pericentromeres to resist spindle forces and ensure the oriented attachment of kinetochores to microtubules at mitosis. Here we demonstrate that budding yeast condensin is recruited to pericentromeres through a direct interaction between its Ycg1 subunit and the pericentromeric adaptor protein, shugoshin (Sgo1). We identify a Short Linear Motif (SLiM), termed CR1, within the C-terminal region of Sgo1 which inserts into a conserved pocket on Ycg1. Disruption of this interface abolishes the Sgo1-condensin interaction, prevents condensin recruitment to pericentromeres and results in defective sister kinetochore biorientation in mitosis. Similar motifs to CR1 are found in known and potential condensin binding partners and the Ycg1 binding pocket is broadly conserved, including in mammalian CAP-G proteins. Overall, we uncover the molecular mechanism that targets condensin to define a specialized chromosomal domain.

Project description:Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria comprise opportunistic pathogens causing chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. These microorganisms produce exopolysaccharides which are considered virulence determinants. Here, we report the isolation of an evolved nonmucoid variant (17616nmv) after the ancestor, Burkholderia multivorans ATCC 17616, was subjected to prolonged stationary phase. Lack of exopolysaccharide cepacian biosynthesis in the variant was correlated with downregulation of bce genes expression. Furthermore, genome sequence of the variant identified the transposition of a mobile element of the IS406 family into the promoter region of an hns-like gene (Bmul_0158) encoding a histone-like nucleoid structuring protein, a known global transcriptional repressor. This IS element upregulated the expression of Bmul_0158 gene. Transcriptome analysis identified the global effects of this mutation on gene expression, with major changes in motility, pili synthesis, type VI secretion, and chromosome associated functions. Concomitant with these differences, the nonmucoid variant displays reduced adherence to a CF lung bronchial cell line, reduced surface hydrophobicity, forms smaller cellular aggregates, but has an increase in swimming and swarming motilities. Finally, bioinformatic analysis led to the identification of various genomic regions, possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer, which were transcriptionally repressed by the increased expression of hns gene in the nonmucoid variant. Taken together, our results revealed a significant role for this H-NS protein in the regulation of B. multivorans persistence- and virulence-associated genes.

Project description:The cholera disease bacterium V. cholerae, can adopt planktonic or biofilm lifestyles depending on the intracellular concentration of the second messenger cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP). Biofilm formation protects Vibrios from stressful conditions and facilitates disease transmission by enhancing infectivity. The histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) is a global regulator of genes associated with pathogenicity and responses to environmental stresses. H-NS represses the transcription of genes vpsT, vpsA and vpsL, which are required for the biosynthesis of the biofilm exopolysacchide matrix. Here we demonstrate that the c-di-GMP-binding protein VpsT disrupts H-NS nucleoprotein complexes at the vpsA and vpsL promoters and that this effect is enhanced by c-di-GMP. We used ChIP coupled with Next Generation Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and transcriptome analysis (RNA-Seq) to identify additional loci repressed by H-NS affecting biofilm formation. This study showed that H-NS directly represses the transcription of genes encoding proteins present in the biofilm matrix such as the rbmA-F cluster, hemolysin and chitinase. Similar to vpsA and vpsL, the promoter region of vpsU, rbmA and rbmF exhibited overlapping H-NS and VpsT binding motifs. Deletion of vpsT increased H-NS occupancy at the vpsU, vpsA, vpsL, rbmA and rbmF promoters. Conversely, artificially increasing the c-di-GMP pool diminished H-NS occupancy at the above promoters. Deletion of vpsT did not affect H-NS occupancy at its own promoter. However, deletion of genes encoding the regulators AphA and VpsR significantly increased H-NS occupancy at the vpsT promoter. In sum, our study shows that c-di-GMP enhances biofilm formation by acting through VpsT to activate an H-NS anti-repression cascade. The Binding profile of V. cholerae H-NS to the genome was determined by ChIP followed by Next Generation Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) using the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. V. cholerae C7258 cells expressing H-NS-FLAG fusion protein from the hns transcription and translation signals were collected from LB cultures grown to mid-exponential phase (OD600 0.5). An anti-FLAG Immunoprecipitation (IP) and an Input samples were used for the analysis.

Project description:Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are small, highly abundant regulators with low sequence specificity and pleiotropic mutant phenotypes. They are involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression, DNA protection/repair and nucleoid structuring. Discovery of the major NAPs has been largely haphazard and based with the Enterobacteriaceae, although some Actinomycete-specific NAPs (Mdp1, Lsr2, sIHF) are known. Here, we use LC-MS/MS to systematically search for novel NAPs in isolated nucleoids of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor. Based on the criteria of high abundance (emPAI) and predicted DNA-binding ability (DNAbinder) we identified a set of around twenty proteins with a good probability of being NAPs. The approach was apparently successful as the set included known major NAPs HupA, sIHF and Lsr2 as well as the global regulators BldD and CRP. It also included a number of proteins whose functions are not yet known (SCO0204, SCO3013, SCO4232, SCO4199 and SCO1839) which provide a useful set of candidates for further study.

Project description:Condensin mediates chromosome condensation, which is essential for proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. Prior to anaphase of budding yeast, the ribosomal DNA (RDN) condenses to a thin loop that is distinct from the rest of the chromosomes. We provide evidence that the establishment and maintenance of this RDN condensation require the regulation of condensin by Cdc5p (polo) kinase. We show that Cdc5p is recruited to the site of condensin binding in the RDN by cohesin, a complex related to condensin. Cdc5p and cohesin prevent condensin from misfolding the RDN into an irreversibly decondensed state. From these and other observations, we propose that the spatial regulation of Cdc5p by cohesin modulates condensin activity to ensure proper RDN folding into a thin loop. This mechanism may be evolutionarily conserved, promoting the thinly condensed constrictions that occur at centromeres and RDN of mitotic chromosomes in plants and animals.

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:Vertebrate condensin I and II molecules are loaded onto the genome to mediate essential changes in chromosome condensation during mitosis, but it is not clear how the two forms of condensin become distributed on chromosomes. We report here that condensin II, the form of condensin present in the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, is loaded at transcriptionally active promoters, migrates through these genes in a transcription-dependent fashion and accumulates in transcription termination regions during interphase. During mitosis, condensin I is recruited to actively transcribed genes and replaces condensin II. We conclude that the two forms of condensin are loaded at different times during the cell division cycle at the promoters of actively transcribed genes.
