Project description:Mot1 is a conserved and essential Swi2/Snf2 ATPase that can remove TATA-binding protein (TBP) from DNA using ATP hydrolysis, and in so doing exerts global effects on transcription. Spt16 is also essential and functions globally in transcriptional regulation as a component of the FACT histone chaperone complex. Here we demonstrate that Mot1 and Spt16 regulate a largely overlapping set of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As expected, Mot1 was found to control TBP levels at co-regulated promoters. In contrast, Spt16 did not affect TBP recruitment. Interestingly, Mot1 was required for Spt16 recruitment to co-activated promoters. In contrast, Spt16 levels in gene coding regions were unaffected by Mot1 as well as RNA polymerase II density. The co-localization of Mot1 and Spt16 at promoters and the broad overlap in the sets of genes they control is consistent with physical and genetic interactions between them. The data support a model in which these factors participate in a regulatory pathway in which Mot1 acts upstream of Spt16. Tiling arrays covering the entirety of the S.cerevisiae genome were used to identify the effects of Mot1 and Spt16 on RNA expression genome-wide. All samples were done in biological duplicates. The average signal from the spt16-197 samples was compared to the SPT16-WT to determine changes in expression. The average signal from the double mutant mot1-42 spt16-197 was compared to both SPT16-WT and MOT1-WT. The MOT1-WT data was previously published by our lab and is available at GEO accession GSM456548. Comparisons were made from our Spt16 dataset to the previously published MOT1-WT and mot1-42 data, and the entire study is available at GEO accession GSE18283.

In contrast, Spt16 did not affect TBP recruitment. On a global scale, Spt16 was required for Mot1 promoter localization, and Mot1 also affected Spt16 localization to genes. Interestingly, we find that Mot1 has an unanticipated role in establishing or maintaining the occupancy and positioning of nucleosomes at the 5â ends of genes. Spt16 has a broad role in regulating chromatin organization in gene bodies, including those nucleosomes affected by Mot1. These results suggest that the large-scale overlap in Mot1 and Spt16 function arises from a combination of both their unique and shared functions in transcription complex assembly and chromatin structure regulation. ChIP was performed for Spt16-myc in WT cells and mot1-42 cells in duplicate with input DNA from WT as control. ChIP was performed for Mot1-myc in WT cells and spt16-197 cells in dublicate with input DNA from WT as control. Micrococcal nuclease digested chromatin from WT, mot1-42, spt16-197, and mot1-42 spt16-197 cells were immunoprecipitated with H3 antibody in duplicate. All samples were sequenced by Illumina MiSeq.

Project description:Nucleosome assembly in vivo requires assembly factors, such as histone chaperones, to bind to histones and mediate their deposition onto DNA. In yeast, the essential histone chaperone FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) functions in nucleosome assembly and H2A-H2B deposition during transcription elongation and DNA replication. Recent studies have identified candidate histone residues that mediate FACT binding to histones, but it is not known which histone residues are important for FACT to deposit histones onto DNA during nucleosome assembly. In this study, we report that the histone H2B repression (HBR) domain within the H2B N-terminal tail is important for histone deposition by FACT. Deletion of the HBR domain causes significant defects in histone occupancy in the yeast genome, particularly at HBR-repressed genes, and a pronounced increase in H2A-H2B dimers that remain bound to FACT in vivo. Moreover, the HBR domain is required for purified FACT to efficiently assemble recombinant nucleosomes in vitro. We propose that the interaction between the highly basic HBR domain and DNA plays an important role in stabilizing the nascent nucleosome during the process of histone H2A-H2B deposition by FACT. 6 samples, 2 inputs and 4 ChIP samples for histone H2B (2 for wild-type and 2 for an H2B â30-37 mutant)

Project description:The biological mechanism of cadmium's effects is poorly characterized. This data was generated in order to help better understand the epigenetic role that Cadmium plays. We used the MIRA assay and the Affymetrix Human Promoter 1.0R Array in order to measure methylation levels in promoter regions. 34 samples corresponding to 17 mother-infant pairs were selected based upon measured levels of cadmium in the blood. Methylated DNA fragments were then isolated, amplified, and run on the Affymetrix Human Promoter 1.0R Array. Results were then summarized to CpG islands for each sample.

Project description:Replication stress activates the Mec1ATR and Rad53 kinases. Rad53 phosphorylates nuclear pores to counteract gene gating, thus preventing aberrant transitions at forks approaching transcribed genes. Here, we show that Rrm3 and Pif1, DNA helicases assisting fork progression across pausing sites, are detrimental in rad53 mutants experiencing replication stress. Rrm3 and Pif1 ablations rescue cell lethality, chromosome fragmentation, replisome-fork dissociation, fork reversal, and processing in rad53 cells. Through phosphorylation, Rad53 regulates Rrm3 and Pif1; phospho-mimicking rrm3 mutants ameliorate rad53 phenotypes following replication stress without affecting replication across pausing elements under normal conditions. Hence, the Mec1-Rad53 axis protects fork stability by regulating nuclear pores and DNA helicases. We propose that following replication stress, forks stall in an asymmetric conformation by inhibiting Rrm3 and Pif1, thus impeding lagging strand extension and preventing fork reversal; conversely, under unperturbed conditions, the peculiar conformation of forks encountering pausing sites would depend on active Rrm3 and Pif1. BrdU incorporation profiles by ssDNA-BrdU IP on chip have been generated as described (Katou et al., 2003). Protein binding profiles by ChIP-chip analysis were generated as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labeled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, four different DICER-LIKE (DCL) proteins have distinct, but partially overlapping functions in the biogenesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from longer, non-coding precursor RNAs. To analyze the impact of different components of the small RNA (sRNA) biogenesis machinery on the transcriptome, we subjected dcl and other mutants impaired in sRNA biogenesis to whole-genome tiling array analysis. We compared both protein-coding genes and noncoding transcripts, including most pri-miRNAs, in two tissues and several stress conditions. We discovered distinct effects of dcl1, hyl1 and se mutations on the transcriptome, as well as a number of common genes affected in dcl1 and dcl2 dcl3 dcl4 triple mutants. Our results furthermore suggest that the DCL1 is not only involved in miRNA action, but can also contribute to silencing of certain transposons, apparently through an effect on DNA methylation. Together, our findings contribute to the knowledge of both specialization and overlap between different RNA silencing pathways. Wild type and dcl1-100, se-3, hyl1-2, rdr6-15 ans dcl2,3,4 mutants were grown on MS or soil at 23M-BM-0C and LL. 7 day old seedlings (grown on MS plates) and inflorescences from 28 (>40) day old plants (dcl1) were used for RNA extraction. For stress treatments, seedlings had been grown for 10 days on solid MS medium at 21M-BM-0C, they were transferred to liquid MS medium containing no additives (mock control), 200 mM NaCl (salt stress), 300 mM mannitol (osmotic stress) or 100 M-NM-<M ABA. For cold and heat stress, seedlings were transferred to pre-chilled or pre-warmed liquid MS medium and incubated at 8M-BM-0C and 30M-BM-0C, respectively. Samples were taken after 1 h and 12 h of continuous stress treatment. RNA was extracted from whole seedlings. All RNA samples were converted into double stranded DNA targets that were hybridized to whole genome tiling arrays (Affymetrix Arabidopis Tiling1.0RM-BM-.). All hybridizations were performed with 3 biological replicates.

Project description:DNA replication is sensitive to damage in the template. To bypass lesions and complete replication, cells activate recombination-mediated (error-free) and translesion synthesis-mediated (error-prone) DNA damage tolerance pathways. Crucial for error-free DNA damage tolerance is template switching, which depends on the formation and resolution of damage-bypass intermediates consisting of sister chromatid junctions. Here we show that a chromatin architectural pathway involving the high mobility group box protein Hmo1 channels replication-associated lesions into the error-free DNA damage tolerance pathway mediated by Rad5 and PCNA polyubiquitylation, while preventing mutagenic bypass and toxic recombination. In the process of template switching, Hmo1 also promotes sister chromatid junction formation predominantly during replication. Its C-terminal tail, implicated in chromatin bending, facilitates the formation of catenations/hemicatenations and mediates the roles of Hmo1 in DNA damage tolerance pathway choice and sister chromatid junction formation. Together, the results suggest that replication-associated topological changes involving the molecular DNA bender, Hmo1, set the stage for dedicated repair reactions that limit errors during replication and impact on genome stability. BrdU and proteins ChIP-chip analyses analysis were carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Project description:The SUMO-like domains-containing family of proteins to which Saccharomyces cerevisiae Esc2 belongs facilitates DNA damage tolerance (DDT) via elusive mechanisms. Here we report that Esc2 promotes recombination-mediated DDT by engaging in functional and physical interactions with Srs2 and Elg1, two readers of SUMOylated PCNA and modulators of DDT. These interactions depend on the SUMO Interacting Motifs of Elg1 and Srs2, and on the SUMO-like domains of Esc2. Mechanistically, Esc2 promotes Elg1 association to damaged and stalled forks and Srs2 turnover. Elg1 limits the levels of SUMOylated PCNA and subsequently of the anti-recombinase Srs2 at damaged sites, upholding local Rad51 binding. In conjunction with the SUMO–targeted ubiquitin ligase Slx5/Slx8, Esc2 also promotes proteasome-mediated Srs2 turnover, a process further enhanced by CDK-mediated Srs2 phosphorylation. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how SUMO- and DNA damage response-regulated pathways intersect to enable local error-free damage-bypass by recombination in the face of genotoxic stress. Proteins ChIP-chip analyses analysis were carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Project description:Human embryonic stem (HUES) cells are derived from early individual embryos with unique genetic properties. However, how their epigenetic status might affect their potential to differentiate toward specific lineages remains a puzzling question. Using ChIP-on-chip, the status of bivalent domains on gene promoters (i.e. H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylation) was monitored for both undifferentiated and BMP2 induced cardiac committed cells. A marked difference in the epigenetic profile of HUES cell lines was observed and this was correlated to the pattern of gene expression induced by BMP2 as well as to their potential to generate cardiac progenitors and differentiated myocytes. Thus, the epigenetic H3trimeK4 and H3trimeK27 prints generating bivalent domains on promoters, could be used to predict a preference in their differentiation toward a specific lineage. Using ChIP-on-chip, the status of bivalent domains on gene promoters (i.e. H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylation) was monitored for both undifferentiated and BMP2 induced cardiac committed cells.
