Project description:Snt2 is a yeast chromatin-interacting protein whose function has not been well characterized, that was recently shown to associate with Ecm5 and the Rpd3 deacetylase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that in response to H2O2, Snt2 and Ecm5 colocalize to promoters of genes involved in various aspects of the environmental stress response. By integrating these ChIP-seq results with expression analysis, we identify a key set of target genes that require Snt2 for proper expression after H2O2 stress. Finally, by mapping Snt2 and Ecm5 localization before and after rapamycin treatment, we identify a subset of H2O2-specific Snt2 and Ecm5 target promoters that are also targeted in response to rapamycin. Our results establish a function for Snt2 in regulating transcriptional changes in response to oxidative stress, and suggest Snt2 may have a role in additional stress pathways. Crosslinking ChIP analysis to identify sites of Snt2 or Ecm5 genomic localization before, 0.5 hours after, or 4 hours after treatment with H2O2 (final concentration 0.4 mM). Snt2 and Ecm5 were genomically tagged with a 13Myc tag at their C termini. ChIPs were performed using a Myc antibody on either Snt2-Myc or Ecm5-Myc strains, or on an untagged wildtype strain (BY4741) as a control. Inputs and ChIPs from untagged strain were sequenced as controls.

Project description:Asf1, through its histone chaperone activity, helps chromatin closing/opening during DNA replication, repair, recombination and transcription. Despite extensive research on Asf1-mediated physiological functions, a genome-wide localization map is lacking, limiting our knowledge of chromosomal features targeted by Asf1. We present a high-resolution genome-wide map of Asf1, localizing at essentially all pol III-transcribed genes, highly active pol II-transcribed genes and heterochromatic features. Pol III-transcribed genes are negatively regulated by Asf1, whereas pol II genes are regulated indirectly by Asf1-dependent H3K56 acetylation. Interestingly, Asf1 localization along yeast chromosomes shows nearly identical distribution to that of the condensin complex, predicting a functional overlap in chromosome architecture and genome organization. ChIP-seq analysis of Asf1 targets using a yeast strain that expresses an 18-Myc tag fused to the C-terminus of ASF1. Two biological replicates and one mock/control were performed. The Illumina GAII was used. ChIP-seq reads are aligned to the budding yeast sacCer3 (2011) assembly.

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation requires centromeres (CENs), the chromosomal sites where kinetochores form, to bridge DNA and attach to microtubules. In contrast to most eukaryotes, Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses sequence-defined point centromeres. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of four kinetochore components reveals regions of overlapping, extra-centromeric protein localization upon overproduction of the centromeric histone, Cse4 (CENP-A or CenH3). These identified sequences enhance proper plasmid and chromosome segregation, and are termed Centromere-like Regions (CLRs). CLRs form in close proximity to S. cerevisiae CENs and share characteristics typical of point and regional centromeres. CLR sequences are conserved among related budding yeasts, suggesting a role in vivo. These studies provide new insights into the origin and evolution of centromeres.

Project description:BY4741 (S288c haploid) cells have different gene expression in response to 0.4mM H2O2 when pretreated with 0.7M NaCl compared to cells that are not pretreated with NaCl (mock cells). BY4741 cells were grown in log phase for 3 doublings (t0) and then the genomic expression of mock cells to 0.4mM H2O2 was assessed every 10 mins for 40 mins. To study the effects of NaCl treatement on H2O2 response, BY4741 cells were grown in log phase for 3 doublings (t0) and then the genomic expression of cells was measured in response to 0.7M NaCl over the course of 60 min every 15 mins. The cells were then removed from stress and grown in stress free media for four hours (T240). Then these cells were exposed to 0.4mM H2O2 and the genomic expression was measured every 10 minutes during the H2O2 timecourse of 40 minutes. To see if the handling of cells had an affect on gene expression, BY4741 cells were grown for exponentially for 3 doublings (t0), received a mock YPD treatment for 60 mins, grown for 4 hours (T240) and then collected to asses genomic expression. Duplicates were done for at 30 and 45 minutes for the NaCl timecourse, triplicate were done for 0, 10 and 20 minutes in H2O2 timecourse and duplicates were done for 30 and 40 minutes in the H2O2 timecourse.

Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract and the bloodstream are highly disparate biological niches, and yet certain commensal-pathogenic microorganisms are able to thrive in both environments. Here, we report the evolution of a unique transcription circuit in the yeast, Candida albicans, which determines its fitness in both host niches. Our comprehensive analysis of the DNA-binding proteins that regulate iron uptake by this organism suggests the evolutionary intercalation of a transcriptional activator called Sef1 between two broadly conserved transcriptional repressors, Sfu1 and Hap43. The Sef1 activator of iron uptake genes promotes virulence in a mouse model of bloodstream infection, whereas the Sfu1 repressor is dispensable for virulence but promotes gastrointestinal commensalism. We propose that the ability to alternate between genetic programs conferring resistance to iron depletion in the bloodstream versus iron toxicity in the gut may be a fundamental attribute of gastrointestinal commensal-pathogens. ChIP analyses to profile genome-wide of distribution of Sef1, Sfu1 and Hap43 in response to various iron availability. 12 independent ChIP experiments were performed on 6 biological replicates of the untagged control and 2 biological replicates each of Sef1-Myc, Sfu1-Myc, and Hap43-Myc.

Project description:Transcriptional control of gene expression is a result of complex interactions between the cis-regulatory elements (CRE) at gene promoters. To understand the regulatory logic of a cell, we need to identify the CRE combinations that regulate gene expression. We developed a sensitive computational method to identify phylogenetically conserved CRE combinations for any species of interest. In contrast to previous methods, we do not need to align genomes to identify these combinations. We applied the method in 7 sensu stricto and sensu lato Saccharomyces species. 80% of the predictions displayed some evidence of combinatorial transcriptional behavior in several existing datasets including 1) ChIP-chip data for co-localization of transcription factors, 2) gene expression data for co-expression of predicted regulatory targets, and 3) gene ontology databases for common pathway membership of predicted regulatory targets. To establish definitive evidence that these CRE interactions influence TF occupancy, we performed ChIPseq experiments on transcription factors in a wild-type strain and strains in which a predicted cofactor was deleted. Our experiments showed that TF occupancy at the promoters of the CRE combination target genes depends on the predicted cofactor while occupancy of other promoters is independent of the predicted cofactor.

Project description:Initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires temporal separation of helicase loading from helicase activation and replisome assembly. Using an in vitro assay for eukaryotic origin-dependent replication initiation, we investigated the control of these events. After helicase loading, we found that the Dbf4-dependent Cdc7 kinase (DDK) initially drives origin recruitment of Sld3 and the Cdc45 helicase-activating protein. Corresponding in vivo studies found that DDK was required for Cdc45 binding at early origins during G1. Upon activation of S-phase cyclin-dependent kinases (S-CDK), a second helicase-activating protein (GINS) and the remainder of the replisome are recruited to the origin. Investigation of DNA polymerase recruitment showed that Mcm10 and DNA unwinding both were critical for recruitment of the lagging but not leading strand DNA polymerases. Our studies identify distinct roles for DDK and S-CDK during helicase activation and support a model in which the leading strand DNA polymerase is recruited prior to DNA unwinding and initial RNA primer synthesis. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) against Cdc45 in CDC7 and cdc7-4 cells arrested in G1 phase to assess the requirement of the Dbf4-dependent kinase on the recruitment of Cdc45 to origin DNA during G1.
