Project description:The nonrandom distribution of meiotic recombination shapes patterns of inheritance and genome evolution, but chromosomal features governing this distribution are poorly understood. Formation of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination results in accumulation of Spo11 protein covalently bound to small DNA fragments. We show here that sequencing these fragments provides a genome-wide DSB map of unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. We use this map to explore the influence of large-scale chromosome structures, chromatin, transcription factors, and local sequence composition on DSB distributions. Our analysis supports the view that the recombination terrain is molded by combinatorial and hierarchical interaction of factors that work on widely different size scales. Mechanistic aspects of DSB formation and early processing steps are also uncovered. This map illuminates the occurrence of DSBs in repetitive DNA elements, repair of which can lead to chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss implications for evolutionary dynamics of recombination hotspots. We deep sequenced 4 samples of Spo11 oligos on Roche 454 platform. Three samples are technical replicates of Spo11 oligo products prepared from one meiotic culture and the fourth sample was prepared from an independent culture.

Project description:The Spo11-generated double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are dangerous lesions that can disrupt genome integrity, so meiotic cells regulate their number, timing, and distribution. Here, we use Spo11-oligonucleotide complexes, a byproduct of DSB formation, to examine the contribution of the DNA damage-responsive kinase Tel1 (ortholog of mammalian ATM) to this regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A tel1Î mutant had globally increased amounts of Spo11-oligonucleotide complexes and altered Spo11-oligonucleotide lengths, consistent with conserved roles for Tel1 in control of DSB number and processing. A kinase-dead tel1 mutation also increased Spo11-oligonucleotide levels, but mutating known Tel1 phosphotargets on Hop1 and Rec114 did not. Deep sequencing of Spo11 oligonucleotides from tel1Î mutants demonstrated that Tel1 shapes the nonrandom DSB distribution in ways that are distinct but partially overlapping with previously described contributions of the recombination regulator Zip3. Finally, we uncover a context-dependent role for Tel1 in hotspot competition, in which an artificial DSB hotspot inhibits nearby hotspots. Evidence for Tel1-dependent competition involving strong natural hotspots is also provided. Sixteen samples total: The first 12 are two biological replicate Spo11-oligo maps from each of the following: wild type and tel1 each collected at 4, 5, and 6 hours after meiotic induction; the next 4 are one biological replicate Spo11-oligo map from each of the following: wild type and tel1 bearing an artificial hotspot insertion either on Chr III or on Chr IX.

Project description:The stimulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) has been widely studied with multiple mechanisms proposed for this form of histone crosstalk. Cps35/Swd2 within COMPASS is considered to bridge these processes. However, a truncated form of Set1 (762-Set1) is reported to function in H3K4 trimethylation without interacting with Cps35/Swd2, and such crosstalk is attributed to the n-SET domain of Set1 and its interaction with the Cps40/Spp1 subunit of COMPASS. Here, we use biochemical, structural, in vivo, and ChIP-seq approaches to demonstrate that Cps40/Spp1 and the n-SET domain of Set1 are required for the stability of Set1 and not the crosstalk. Furthermore, the apparent wild-type levels of H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the 762-Set1 strain is due to rogue methylase activity of this mutant resulting in the mislocalization of H3K4me3 from the promoter-proximal regions to gene bodies and intergenic regions. We have also performed detailed screens and identified yeast strains lacking H2Bub, but containing intact H2Bub enzymes, that have normal levels of H3K4me3, suggesting that ubiquitination may not directly stimulate COMPASS, but rather works in a context of the PAF and Rad6/Bre1 complexes. Our study demonstrates that the ubiquitination machinery and Cps35/Swd2 function to focus COMPASS’ H3K4me3 activity at promoter-proximal regions in a context dependent manner. ChIP-Seq for H3K4ME3 in S. cerevisie wild-type strains and strains expressing a truncated form of Set1: aa762-1080 Set1. H3K4ME3 ChIP-Seq was also compared for wild-type, leo1 knockout, and chd1 knockout strains

Project description:A ELMSeq reporter cassette was created to monitor Dam levels by methylation, and introduced in the genome. Some regions upstream dam were randomized to see their effect on gene expression. So the cassette consists in: 4xGATC sites - (promoter) - random region - dam. The amplicon was spanning the whole cassette, including some bases inside the dam. The cassette was introduced in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Project description:To map meiotic crossovers and noncrossovers across the yeast genome, we genotyped the four spores of 51 tetrads arising from sporulation of a YJM789/S96 hybrid strain. Sporulation was induced, tetrads were dissected, and genomic DNA from each spore was hybridized to microarrays, one array per spore. 12 YJM789 and 13 S96 hybridizations were also performed as a reference for genotyping. To analyze recombination mutants, we also hybridized DNA from 5 tetrads arising from a YJM789/S96 hybrid strain homozygous for a MSH4 deletion, and from 20 spores (6 dyads and 8 single spores) arising from a hybrid homozygous for a MMS4 deletion.

Project description:Developmental programs are implemented by regulatory interactions between Transcription Factors (TFs) and their target genes, which remain yet poorly understood. While recent studies have focused on regulatory cascades of TFs that govern early development, little is known on how these are selected and controlled the ultimate cellular effectors of terminal differentiation. We addressed this question during late Drosophila embryogenesis when the finely tuned expression of a TF, Ovo/Shavenbaby (Svb), triggers the morphological differentiation of epidermal trichomes. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray profiling to identify Svb downstream target genes and show that Svb directly regulates a large set of terminal effectors of trichome formation. Functional assays delineated 18 Svb bound sequences driving specific expression of trichome effectors, with highly similar pattern and dynamics. Coupling computational modeling to functional dissection, we further investigated the regulatory logic of these enhancers. We find that these “terminal” enhancers harbor remarkable features with respect to their functional architectures. Trichome enhancers display weak if any clustering of Svb binding sites. Moreover, the in vivo function of each site relies on its intimate context, with a critical importance of the nucleotides flanking Svb binding sites. Finally, we identify additional cis-regulatory motifs, showing a broad diversity of positioning among trichome enhancers, and that critically contribute to their activity. Taken together, these results show that trichome formation is underpinned by unexpectedly diverse modes of regulation, and shed light on the functional architecture of enhancers governing a terminal differentiation program. Chromatin from 12-14 hour old embryos expressing svb tagged with GFP (Kondo T, Plaza S, Zanet J, Benrabah E, Valenti P, Hashimoto Y, Kobayashi S, Payre F, Kageyama Y: Small peptides switch the transcriptional activity of Shavenbaby during Drosophila embryogenesis.

Project description:We solved the crystal structure of human ARGONAUTE1 (hAGO1) bound to endogenous 5'-phosphorylated guide RNAs. To identify structural changes that evolutionarily rendered hAGO1 inactive, we compared our structure with published structures of guide-RNA-containing and cleavage-active hAGO2. Aside from mutation of a catalytic tetrad residue, proline residues at positions 670 and 675 in hAGO1 introduce a kink in the cS7 loop and thereby forming a convex surface within the hAGO1 nucleic-acid-binding channel near the inactive catalytic site. We predicted that even upon restoration of the catalytic tetrad, hAGO1-cS7 sterically hinders the placement of a fully-paired guide-target RNA duplex into the endonuclease active site. Consistent with this hypothesis, reconstitution of the catalytic tetrad (R805H) led to low level hAGO1 cleavage activity, whereas combining R805H with cS7 substitutions (P670S and P675Q) substantially augmented hAGO1 activity. Evolutionary changes to hAGO1 were subtle and readily reversible, suggesting that loading of guide RNA and seed-based miRNA-target RNA pairing constrain its sequence drift.
