Cooperation between Caenorhabditis elegans COMPASS and condensin in germline chromatin organization

ABSTRACT: Deposition of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation at promoter regions by the SET1/COMPASS complex is associated with context-dependent effects on gene expression. Transcription-independent functions have also been attributed to this highly conserved complex, but whether these contribute to higher-order chromosome organization has not been explored. Using a quantitative FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer)-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) approach to assay nanometer scale chromatin compaction in live animals, we reveal an unexpected role for SET1/COMPASS in structuring meiotic chromosomes in the germline of C. elegans. Inactivation of SET-2, the C. elegans homologue of the catalytic subunit SET1, strongly enhanced chromosome organization defects and loss of fertility resulting from partial depletion of condensin-II. Loss of CFP-1, the chromatin targeting subunit of COMPASS, similarly affected germline chromatin compaction measured by FLIM-FRET and enhanced condensin-II knock-down phenotypes. Defects in chromosome morphology following conditional inactivation of topoisomerase II, another structural component of chromosomes, were also aggravated in the absence of set-2. Our results are consistent with a role of SET1/COMPASS in shaping meiotic chromosomes in the C. elegans germline, and have important implications for how chromatin-modifying complexes and histone modifications may cooperate with non histone-proteins to achieve proper chromosome organization, not only in meiosis, but also in mitosis.

Interaction between TBP and condensing drives the organization and faithful segregation of mitotic chromosomes

Project description:Genome/chromosome organization is highly ordered and controls nuclear events. Here, we show that the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the Cnd2 kleisin subunit of condensin to mediate interphase and mitotic chromosome organization in fission yeast. TBP recruits condensin onto RNA polymerase III-transcribed (Pol III) genes and highly transcribed Pol II genes; condensin in turn associates these genes with centromeres. Inhibition of the Cnd2-TBP interaction disrupts condensin localization across the genome and the proper assembly of mitotic chromosomes, leading to severe defects in chromosome segregation and eventually causing cellular lethality. We propose that the Cnd2-TBP interaction coordinates transcription with chromosomal architecture by linking dispersed gene loci with centromeres. This chromosome arrangement can contribute to the efficient transmission of physical force at the kinetochore to chromosomal arms, thereby supporting the fidelity of chromosome segregation.

The length and strength of compartmental interactions are modulated by condensin II activity [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Condensin II plays a crucial role in shaping chromosome structure throughout the cell cycle, but its specific functions during interphase have remained unclear. In this study, we utilized Oligopaints and Hi-C techniques to investigate how changes in condensin II levels affect chromosome organization across various length scales. Our findings reveal that condensin II has a significant impact on long-range interactions within chromosomes, which are essential for the organization of intrachromosomal compartments. Importantly, these effects occur independently of the chromatin state. Furthermore, overexpression of condensin II during interphase leads to the formation of "peri-centric super stripes" observed through Hi-C analysis, indicating a disruption of the boundary between heterochromatin and euchromatin on Drosophila chromosomes. Collectively, our results challenge the existing belief that compartments form without the involvement of a loop extruder and suggest that condensin II activity is a prerequisite for driving proximity between distal compartmental domains within chromosomes.

Acute condensin depletion causes genome decompaction without altering the level of global gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Condensins are broadly conserved chromosome organizers that function in chromatin compaction and transcriptional regulation, but to what extent these two functions are linked has remained unclear. Here, we analyzed the effect of condensin inactivation on genome compaction and global gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Spike-in-controlled 3C-seq analysis revealed that acute condensin inactivation led to a global decrease in close-range chromosomal interactions as well as more specific losses of homotypic tRNA gene clustering. In addition, we identified a condensin-rich topologically associated domain between the ribosomal DNA and the centromere on chromosome XII that is lost upon condensin inactivation. Unexpectedly, these large-scale changes in chromosome architecture were not associated with global changes in transcript levels as determined by spike-in-controlled mRNA-seq analysis. Our data suggest that the global transcriptional program of S. cerevisiae is resistant to condensin inactivation and the associated profound changes in genome organization.

Condensin association with chromosomes depends on a DNA binding domain formed by its HEAT-repeat subunits

Project description:Condensin protein complexes play central roles in the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. How condensin interacts with its chromatin substrates to promote sister chromatid decatenation and segregation is largely unknown. Previous work suggested that condensin, in addition to encircling chromatin fibers topologically within the large ring-shaped structure formed by its structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) and kleisin subunits, contacts DNA directly. Here we describe the discovery of a binding domain for double-stranded DNA helices formed by condensinM-bM-^@M-^Ys HEAT-repeat subunits. Using detailed mapping data of the interfaces between the HEAT-repeat and the kleisin subunits, we generated mutant complexes that lack the Ycg1/CAP-G HEAT-repeat subunit. These tetrameric condensin complexes fail to associate stably with chromosomes in yeast and human cells. We suggest that condensin controls chromosome architecture by stabilizing chromatin loops of chromatin fibers through interaction with its unconventional HEAT-repeat DNA binding domain.

Genome-wide binding of condensin II and TFIIIC in human HEK293 cells

Project description:Condensin complexes are highly conserved for chromosome compaction to ensure their faithful segregation in mitosis. However, little is known about the role of condensin complexes in interphase. Condensins exists in two complexes, condensins I and II, in higher eukayotic cells. During interphase, condensin II is predominantly localized in the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, whereas condensin I is localized at the cytoplasm in interphase. The distinct localization patterns suggest that condensin II, but not condensin I, may contribute to genome organization in interphase. Our results suggest that condensin II is associated with TFIIIC complex in humans.

Fission yeast condensin contributes to interphase chromatin organization and prevents transcription-coupled DNA damage

Project description:Background: Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes are central organizers of chromatin architecture throughout the cell cycle. The SMC family member condensin is best known for establishing long-range chromatin interactions in mitosis. These compact chromatin and create mechanically stable chromosomes. How condensin contributes to chromatin organization in interphase is less well understood. Results: Here, we use efficient conditional depletion of fission yeast condensin to determine its contribution to interphase chromatin organization. We deplete condensin in G2 arrested cells to preempt confounding effects from cell cycle progression without condensin. Genome-wide chromatin interaction mapping, using Hi-C, reveals condensin-mediated chromatin interactions in interphase that are qualitatively similar to those observed in mitosis, but quantitatively far less prevalent. Despite its low abundance, chromatin mobility tracking shows that condensin markedly confines interphase chromatin movements. Without condensin, chromatin behaves as an unconstrained Rouse polymer with excluded volume, while condensin constrains its mobility. Unexpectedly, we find that condensin is required during interphase to prevent ongoing transcription from eliciting a DNA damage response. Conclusions: In addition to establishing mitotic chromosome architecture, condensin-mediated long-range chromatin interactions contribute to shaping chromatin organization in interphase. The resulting structure confines chromatin mobility and protects the genome from transcription-induced DNA damage. This adds to the important roles of condensin in maintaining chromosome stability.
