Project description:Proteins regulate biological processes by changing their structure or abundance to accomplish a specific function. In response to any perturbation or stimulus, protein structure may be altered by a variety of molecular events, such as post translational modification, protein-protein interaction, aggregation, allostery, or binding to other molecules. The ability to probe these structural changes in thousands of proteins simultaneously in cells or tissues can provide valuable information about the functional state of a variety of biological processes and pathways. Here we present an updated protocol for LiP-MS, a proteomics technique combining limited proteolysis with mass spectrometry, to detect protein structural alterations in complex backgrounds and on a proteome-wide scale (Cappelletti et al., 2021; Piazza et al., 2020; Schopper et al., 2017). We describe advances in the throughput and robustness of the LiP-MS workflow and implementation of data-independent acquisition (DIA) based mass spectrometry, which together achieve high reproducibility and sensitivity, even on large sample sizes. In addition, we introduce MSstatsLiP, an R package dedicated to the analysis of LiP-MS data for the identification of structurally altered peptides and differentially abundant proteins. Altogether, the newly proposed improvements expand the adaptability of the method and allow for its wide use in systematic functional proteomic studies and translational applications.

Project description:Chromosomes must be highly compacted and organized within cells, but how this is achieved in vivo remains poorly understood. We report the first use of Hi-C to map the structure of bacterial chromosomes at a high, unprecedented resolution. Analysis of Hi-C data and polymer modeling indicates that the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome consists of multiple, largely independent spatial domains likely comprised of supercoiled plectonemes arrayed into a bottlebrush-like fiber. These domains are stable throughout the cell cycle and re-established concomitantly with DNA replication. We provide strong evidence that domain boundaries are established by highly-expressed genes and the formation of plectoneme-free regions. Additionally, we use Hi-C to demonstrate that supercoiling, the histone-like protein HU, and SMC act at different length-scales and in complementary ways to organize and structure chromosomes within cells. Hi-C experiments were performed on untreated wild type swarmer cells and drug-treated swarmer cells (Novobiocin or Rifampicin) of Caulobacter crescentus CB15N. Hi-C were also performed on swarmer cells of smc knock-out and hup1hup2 knock-out mutants of Caulobacter crescentus. Time-course Hi-C were performed on a synchronous population of Caulobacter crescentus at 5, 10, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes after synchronization. The progression of DNA replication during the cell cycle was followed by total genomic DNA sequencing.

Project description:The development of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is controlled by coordinated changes in gene expression throughout its complex life cycle, but the corresponding regulatory mechanisms are incompletely understood. To study the relation between genome architecture and gene regulation in Plasmodium, we studied the genome structure of P. falciparum at three time points during its erythrocytic (asexual) cycle. Using chromosome conformation capture coupled with next-generation sequencing technology (Hi-C), we obtained high-resolution chromosomal contact maps, which we then used to construct a consensus three-dimensional genome structure for each time point. We observe strong clustering of centromeres, telomeres, ribosomal DNA and virulence genes, resulting in a complex architecture that cannot be explained by a simple volume exclusion model. Internal virulence gene clusters appear to be an important factor in shaping the genome architecture as they exhibit domain-like structures similar to topological domains in mammalian genomes. Midway during the cell cycle, at the highly transcriptionally active trophozoite stage, the genome adopts a more open chromatin structure with increased chromosomal intermingling. In addition, we observed reduced expression of genes located in spatial proximity to the repressive subtelomeric center, and colocalization of distinct groups of parasite-specific genes with coordinated expression profiles. Overall, our results are indicative of a strong association between the P. falciparum spatial genome organization and gene expression. Understanding the molecular processes involved in genome conformation dynamics could contribute to the discovery of novel antimalarial strategies. Analysis of the spatial organization of the P. falciparum genome at three stages of the erythrocytic cycle using chromosome conformation capture coupled with next generation sequencing (Hi-C). As a control, we included one sample for which chromatin contacts were not preserved by crosslinking of DNA and proteins.

Project description:Mammalian genomes are organized into megabase-scale topologically associated domains (TADs) that have been proposed to represent large regulatory units. Here we demonstrate that disruption of TADs can cause rewiring of long-range regulatory architecture and result in pathogenic phenotypes. We show that distinct human limb malformations are caused by deletions, inversions, or duplications altering the structure of the TAD-spanning WNT6/IHH/EPHA4/PAX3 locus. Using CRISPR/Cas genome editing, we generated mice with corresponding rearrangements. Both in mouse limb tissue and patient-derived fibroblasts, disease-relevant structural changes cause ectopic interactions between promoters and non-coding DNA, and a cluster of limb enhancers normally associated with Epha4 is misplaced relative to TAD boundaries and drives ectopic limb expression of another gene in the locus. Our results demonstrate the functional importance of TADs for orchestrating gene expression via genome architecture and indicate criteria for predicting the pathogenicity of human structural variants, particularly in non-coding regions of the human genome.

Project description:α-Synuclein is an abundant presynaptic protein that when aggregated and dyslocated from the synapse is associated to Parkinson’s disease and dementia. The normal presynaptic function of α-synuclein is unclear as well as the disease triggering mechanism. In order to extend the knowledge of the α-synuclein interactome during normal function and disease, we have used porcine brain synaptosomes as a source of ligands and purified α-synuclein monomers or oligomers as bait in co-immunoprecipitation experiments. The isolated binding synaptosomal proteins were identified with LC-LTQ-orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry and quantified by peak area using the freely-available Windows client application, Skyline Targeted Proteomic Environment. To compare proteins binding to a-synuclein monomer with proteins binding to a-synuclein oligomer, quantifications were log transformed, normalized to buffer-background, and compared by students t-test. Furthermore, to specify the preferential binding an average fold increase was calculated by comparing binding to monomer and oligomer. 10 α-synuclein preferential monomer binding proteins were identified and among those, we successfully validated Abl interactor 1, and myelin proteolipid protein. 76 α-synuclein preferential oligomer binding proteins were found, including glutamate decarboxylase 2, synapsin 1, and glial fibrillary acidic protein, which were positively validated. We identified 92 proteins binding to α-synuclein, for which we were not able to detect any conformational preferences among. This study presents a catalog of proteins interacting with α-synuclein in its non-aggregated and aggregated oligomeric state, which can be used to investigate the normal and pathological roles of α-synuclein.

Project description:Chromatin organisation of trophoblast stem cells (TSC) were compared with that of embryonic stem cells (ESC). The method enriches Hi-C libraries, to detect promoter interactions at restriction fragment level. We prepared Hi-C libraries from TSC and ESC (serum grown) samples and enriched them with a promoter capture bait system that captures ~22.000 promoters. Promoter interactions were then analysed using the GOTHiC pipeline.

Project description:Double-strand breaks (DSBs) can lead to the loss of genetic information and cell death. Consequently, cells in all domains of life have evolved mechanisms to repair DSBs, including through homologous recombination. Although recombination has been well characterized, the spatial organization of this process in living cells remains poorly understood. Here, we introduced site-specific DSBs in Caulobacter crescentus, and then used time-lapse microscopy to visualize the homology search, DSB repair, and the resegregation of chromosomal DNA. Even loci tethered to opposite cell poles can efficiently release, pair to enable recombination-based repair, and then resegregate to their original locations. Resegregation occurs independent of DNA replication and without disrupting global chromosome organization. Origin-proximal regions are resegregated by the same machinery, ParABS, used to segregate undamaged chromosomes following DNA replication. In contrast, origin-distal regions efficiently resegregate after a DSB independent of ParABS, and likely without dedicated segregation proteins. Instead, we propose that a physical, spring-like force drives the resegregation of origin-distal loci after DSB repair. Caulobacter cells were depleted of DnaA for 1.5 h before synchronization. Swarmer cells were then released into DnaA depleting conditions (without IPTG) and double-strand breaks were induced for 1 h by the addition of 500 ?M vanillate. For control sample, no vanillate was added. Formadehyde (Sigma) was then added to the final concentration of 1%. Formadehyde crosslinks protein-DNA and DNA-DNA together, thereby capturing the structure of the chromosome at the time of fixation. Fixation was performed at the cell density of OD600 = 0.2. The crosslinking reactions were allowed to proceed for 30 minutes at 25 °C before quenching with 2.5 M glycine at a final concentration of 0.125 M. Fixed cells were then pelleted by centrifugation and subsequently washed twice with 1x M2 buffer (6.1 mM Na2HPO4, 3.9 mM KH2PO4, 9.3 mM NH4Cl, 0.5 mM MgSO4, 10 ?M FeSO4, 0.5 mM CaCl2) before resuspending in 1x TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 and 1 mM EDTA) to a final concentration of 107 cells per µl. Resuspended cells were then divided into 25 µl aliquots and stored at -80 °C for no more than 2 weeks. Each Hi-C experiment was performed using two of the 25 µL aliquots. Chromosome conformation capture with next-generation seqeuncing (Hi-C) was carried out exactly as described previously (Le et al., 2013 PMID: 24158908)

Project description:GCC was used to determine the structure of E. coli grown in LB or treated with SHX. The bacterial genome is highly condensed into a nucleoid structure. Here we present global analyses of the genome spatial organization for two M-NM-3-proteobacteria: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Genome Conformation Capture. Long distance interactions occurred within the E. coli and P. aeruginosa nucleoids with frequencies that were affected by growth condition and gene dosage. Spatial clustering of genes that are either up or down-regulated depended on the environmental signals, indicating a non-random functional organization of the nucleoid. The largest changes in gene expression upon amino acid starvation occurred in genes that participate in long-range interactions. These genes remained highly spatially clustered when transcript levels decreased. Environment specific interactions were related to DNA motifs but did not correlate with binding sites for nucleoid associated proteins. Overall we identify spatial organization as a significant factor in bacterial gene regulation and suggest that the prokaryotic operon is not simply a linear entity. 4 samples grown in LB; 4 samples treated with SHX. For Genome Conformation Capture (GCC) analyses, E. coli strains were recovered from -80M-BM-0C on LB agar (2%) plates for 24 hours. LB medium (3ml) starter cultures were inoculated and grown (37M-BM-0C, 220rpm, 16h). The Optical Density (OD600) of cultures was measured and used to inoculate LB test cultures to an OD600 of ~0.02. The test cultures were grown (37M-BM-0C, 220rpm) until the OD600 reached ~0.25 and then harvested. For the serine hydroximate (SHX) treated samples the cultures were treated with SHX (500 M-BM-5g/ml, 30 min) before harvesting. E. coli chromatin was prepared according to Rodley et al. (2009)with the following modifications. A total of 5*109 cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde (1% final v/v, 20min, RT) and then quenched with glycine (125mM final, 10min). Cells were collected by centrifugation (4000rpm, 15min, 4M-BM-0C), washed twice (1% PBS, 1% TritonX-100, 5ml/50ml culture) and pelleted (4000rpm, 15min, 4M-BM-0C). Cell pellets were suspended in 800M-NM-<l of B1 lysis buffer (10mM Tris pH 8.0, 50mM NaCl, 10mM EDTA, 20% (w/v) sucrose, 1mg/ml lysozyme) and incubated (37M-BM-0C, 30min). 800M-NM-<l of B2 lysis buffer (200mM Tris pH 8.0, 600mM NaCl, 4% TritonX-100, 1 protease inhibitor tablet (Roche) per 10ml of buffer added just before use) was gently added, mixed by inversion 3-4 times and incubated (37M-BM-0C, 10min). The cell lysate was centrifuged (21,500g, 20min, 4M-BM-0C) and the supernatant decanted. The chromatin was washed once with 1ml of chromatin digestion buffer (10mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1% TritonX-100) by inverting the tube 3-4 times and centrifuged (21,500g, 20min, 4M-BM-0C). The supernatant was decanted and the chromatin pellet was suspended in 500M-NM-<l chromatin digestion buffer. Chromatin samples were aliquoted into 10 sets of 5*108 cells. Samples were digested with HhaI (100U, New England Biolabs). Following digestion a ligation control was added and the samples were ligated with T4 DNA ligase (20U, Invitrogen). Following ligation, cross-links were removed in the presence of proteinase K (0.45U, Fermentas). RNA was removed and pUC19 plasmid (27.4pg/2ml) was added as a sequencing control prior to three extractions with 1:1 Phenol:Chloroform. DNA was column purified (Zymo, DNA clean and concentratorTM-5 kit) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions and eluted in milliQ H2O before combining for sequencing. 3M-NM-<g of purified DNA was sent for pared-end sequencing at the ATC sequencing facility (Rockville, MD, USA) on an Illumina Hi-Seq. External ligation controls were produced by PCR amplification of short regions from the Lambda phage genome and the pRS426. Primers (Table S4 were designed to include an HhaI site at one end of the final product. PCR products were purified using a PCR purification kit (Qiagen), digested with HhaI (4U, 37M-BM-0C, 2h) and purified again. Purified, digested PCR products were introduced into the GCC samples at a 1:1 ratio with the number of genomes prior to the ligation step during GCC preparation. The pRS426 fragment was introduced into the exponential phase (LB grown) samples and resulted in 220 separate ligation events with HhaI restriction fragments on the genome. The Lambda phage fragment was introduced into the SHX treated samples and resulted in 2 ligation events with HhaI fragments on the genome. Network assembly was performed using the Topography suite v1.19. GCC networks were constructed from 100bp (E. coli) paired end Illumina Genome Analyser sequence reads. Topography uses the SOAP algorithm to position PE tags and single ends which contain a HhaI (E. coli) restriction site onto the E. coli (NC_000913) reference genomes, respectively. Each reference genome also contained the pUC19 (SYNPUC19CV) sequence. For the E. coli alignment the sequences of the pRS426 plasmid and Lambda phage ligation controls were also included in the file to which the sequences were aligned. No mismatches or unassigned bases (N) were allowed during positioning. Except where indicated, bioinformatics and statistical analyses were performed on interactions in which the sequence reads were able to be mapped uniquely onto the reference genome and were above the FDR cut-off value (5). All bioinformatics analysis was perfumed using in house Perl scripts.
