Project description:During meiotic prophase, concurrent transcription, recombination, and chromosome synapsis place substantial topological strain on chromosomal DNA, but the role of topoisomerases in this context remains poorly defined. Here, we analyzed the roles topoisomerases I and II (Top1 and Top2) during meiotic prophase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that both topoisomerases accumulate primarily in promoter-containing intergenic regions of actively transcribing genes, including many meiotic double-strand break (DSB) hotspots. Despite the comparable binding patterns, top1 and top2 mutations have different effects on meiotic recombination. TOP1 disruption delays DSB induction and shortens the window of DSB accumulation by an unknown mechanism. By contrast, temperature-sensitive top2-1 mutants exhibit a marked delay in meiotic chromosome remodeling and elevated DSB signals on synapsed chromosomes. The problems in chromosome remodeling were linked to altered Top2 binding patterns rather than a loss of Top2 catalytic activity and stemmed from a defect in recruiting the chromosome remodeler Pch2/TRIP13 to synapsed chromosomes. No chromosomal defects were observed in the absence of TOP1. Our results imply independent roles for topoisomerases I and II in modulating meiotic chromosome structure and recombination.

Project description:Here we dissect the transcriptional response in S. cerevisiae cells lacking DNA topoisomerases. We use microarray technology coupled with a functional genomics approach and demonstrate intimate connections between topoisomerase dependency, promoter chromatin architecture and gene transcription. Our findings suggest that DNA topoisomerases I and II play a role for transcription initiation. We observe a genome wide reduction in mRNA levels and identify a distinct functional subset of the genome with particular requirements for topoisomerases. These genes are characterized by high transcriptional plasticity, they are chromatin regulated and distinguished by having an enrichment of a nucleosome at a critical position in the promoter region, suggesting that topoisomerases influence transcription initiation by affecting promoter chromatin structure. In further support of a role of topoisomerases for initiation, we demonstrate that genome wide topoisomerase dependency reflects transcriptional activity but not transcriptional length. We exemplify the importance of topoisomerases for initiation of chromatin-regulated genes by showing that the enzymes are essential although redundant for PHO5 induction and are necessary for a step required for promoter nucleosome removal.

Project description:How the various cell-types of the body achieve their specific shapes is fundamentally unknown. Here, we explore this issue by identifying genes involved in the elaboration of the complex, yet conserved, cellular morphology of Müller glial (MG) cells in the retina. Using genomic based strategies in zebrafish, we found more than 40 candidate genes involved in specific aspects of MG morphogenesis. The successive steps of cell morphogenesis correlate with the timing of the expression of cohorts of inter-related genes that have roles in generating the particular anatomical features of these cells, suggesting that a sequence of genetic regulomes govern stepwise cellular morphogenesis in this system.

Project description:To investigate the role of DNA topoisomerases in transcription, we have studied global gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells deficient for topoisomerases I and II and performed single-gene analyses to support our findings. The genome-wide studies show a general transcriptional down-regulation upon lack of the enzymes, which correlates with gene activity but not gene length. Furthermore, our data reveal a distinct subclass of genes with a strong requirement for topoisomerases. These genes are characterized by high transcriptional plasticity, chromatin regulation, TATA box presence, and enrichment of a nucleosome at a critical position in the promoter region, in line with a repressible/inducible mode of regulation. Single-gene studies with a range of genes belonging to this group demonstrate that topoisomerases play an important role during activation of these genes. Subsequent in-depth analysis of the inducible PHO5 gene reveals that topoisomerases are essential for binding of the Pho4p transcription factor to the PHO5 promoter, which is required for promoter nucleosome removal during activation. In contrast, topoisomerases are dispensable for constitutive transcription initiation and elongation of PHO5, as well as the nuclear entrance of Pho4p. Finally, we provide evidence that topoisomerases are required to maintain the PHO5 promoter in a superhelical state, which is competent for proper activation. In conclusion, our results reveal a hitherto unknown function of topoisomerases during transcriptional activation of genes with a repressible/inducible mode of regulation

Project description:Type II DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes with essential functions in DNA replication, recombination and transcription. They change DNA topology by forming a transient covalent cleavage complex with a gate-DNA duplex that allows transport of a second duplex though the gate. Despite its biological importance and targeting by anticancer and antibacterial drugs, cleavage complex formation and reversal is not understood for any type II enzyme. To address the mechanism, we have used X-ray crystallography to study sequential states in the formation and reversal of a DNA cleavage complex by topoisomerase IV from Streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacterial type II enzyme involved in chromosome segregation. A high resolution structure of the complex captured by a novel antibacterial dione reveals two drug molecules intercalated at a cleaved B-form DNA gate and anchored by drug-specific protein contacts. Dione release generated drug-free cleaved and resealed DNA complexes in which the DNA gate instead adopts an unusual A/B-form helical conformation with a Mg(2+) ion repositioned to coordinate each scissile phosphodiester group and promote reversible cleavage by active-site tyrosines. These structures, the first for putative reaction intermediates of a type II topoisomerase, suggest how a type II enzyme reseals DNA during its normal reaction cycle and illuminate aspects of drug arrest important for the development of new topoisomerase-targeting therapeutics.

Project description:High-intensity transcription and replication supercoil DNA to levels that can impede or halt these processes. As a potent transcription amplifier and replication accelerator, the proto-oncogene MYC must somehow manage these high levels of torsional stress. By comparing gene expression with the recruitment of topoisomerases and MYC to promoters, we surmised a direct association of MYC with Topoisomerases 1 (TOP1) and 2A (TOP2A) that was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Beyond recruiting topoisomerases, MYC directly stimulates their activities in vitro and in vivo. We identify a MYC-nucleated “topoisome” complex that unites and increases the levels of both both TOP1 and TOP2, as well as their activities at promoters and enhancers. Whether TOP2A or TOP2B is included in the topoisome, is dictated by the presence of c-MYC or MYCN, respectively. Thus, in vivo and in vitro, MYC assembles tools that simplify DNA topology and promote genome function under high output conditions.
