Project description:Smc5/6 is essential for genome structural integrity by yet unknown mechanisms. Here we find that Smc5/6 co-localizes with the DNA crossed-strand processing complex Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 (STR) at genomic regions known as natural pausing sites (NPSs) where it facilitates Top3 retention. Individual depletions of STR subunits and Smc5/6 cause similar accumulation of joint molecules (JMs) composed of reversed forks, double Holliday Junctions and hemicatenanes, indicative of Smc5/6 regulating Sgs1 and Top3 DNA processing activities. We isolate an intra-allelic suppressor of smc6-56 proficient in Top3 retention but affected in pathways that act complementarily with Sgs1 and Top3 to resolve JMs arising at replication termination. Upon replication stress, the smc6-56 suppressor requires STR and Mus81-Mms4 functions for recovery, but not Srs2 and Mph1 helicases that prevent maturation of recombination intermediates. Thus, Smc5/6 functions jointly with Top3 and STR to mediate replication completion and influences the function of other DNA crossed-strand processing enzymes at NPSs.

Project description:HIV-1 accessory protein, Vpr, is required for efficient HIV-1 infection of macrophages. Here we show that Vpr reprograms macrophage gene expression by altering the activity of master transcriptional regulator, PU.1, which is responsible for regulating the expression of host immune response genes and is necessary for normal hematopoiesis. In HIV-infected primary macrophages, Vpr-dependent changes in PU.1 levels result in suppression of known anti-viral targets of Vpr including IFITM3 and MRC1. Moreover, we find that PU.1 and its co-factor TET2 are co-recruited to DCAF1 by Vpr and targeted for accelerated degradation. Downmodulation of PU.1 is a highly conserved function of Vpr that is maintained across primate lentiviruses including HIV-2 and several SIVs. In contrast, this activity is not shared by the evolutionarily related accessory protein Vpx. Our findings demonstrate how Vpr dramatically enhances HIV spread in macrophages by targeting a myeloid-specific transcription factor needed for expression of multiple viral restriction factors.

Project description:The human SMC5-SMC6 complex (SMC5/6) is a conserved guardian of genome stability and an emerging component of the antiviral response in animals and plants. In yeast, Smc5/6 is recruited to and loaded on chromatin by the poorly conserved Nse5-Nse6 heterodimer (Nse5/6), which remains largely undefined in humans. Here we report that SIMC1 is an Nse5 orthologue and novel subunit of the human SMC5/6 complex. SIMC1 binds to SLF2, the proposed Nse6 orthologue, forming a stable complex structurally similar to yeast Nse5/6. SIMC1 localizes SMC5/6 to polyomavirus replication centers in a SUMO interaction-dependent manner. Further structure prediction analyses indicate that SLF1, a putative Nse5 counterpart that recruits SMC5/6 to DNA lesions, interacts with SLF2 in a very similar manner as SIMC1. Consistently, SIMC1 and SLF1 form mutually exclusive complexes with SLF2. Thus, both SIMC1 and SLF1 act as orthologues of yeast Nse5 to independently direct the functions of SMC5/6.

Project description:The SMC protein complexes safeguard genomic integrity through their functions in chromosome segregation and repair. The chromosomal localization of the budding yeast Smc5/6 complex here determined reveals that the complex works specifically on the duplicated genome in differently regulated pathways. One controls the association to centromeres and chromosome arms in unchallenged cells, the second regulates the association to DNA breaks, and the third directs the complex to the chromosome arm that harbors the ribosomal DNA arrays. The chromosomal interaction pattern predicts a function that becomes more important with increasing chromosome length, and that the complex's role in unchallenged cells is independent of DNA damage. Additionally, localization of Smc6 to collapsed replication forks indicates an involvement in their rescue. Altogether this shows that the complex maintains genomic integrity in multiple ways, and evidence is presented that the Smc5/6 complex is needed during replication to prevent the accumulation of branched chromosome structures.

Distribution was analyzed on Chromosome VI and/or whole genome arrays. Cells were grown in rich yeast cell extract media. All experiments were performed in cells with the same genetic background (Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303; ade2-1, trp1-1, can1-100, leu2-3, 112, his3-11, 15, ura3 RAD5) ⢠Experimental design ChIP analysis: In all cases, hybridization data for ChIP fraction was compared with that of SUP (supernatant) fraction. Cerevisiae chromosome VI array or Whole genome arrays were used. Total number of hybridization was 69. All description about hybridized samples is attached as the separate sheet. ⢠Quality control steps taken Duplication, confirmation using different tags, different subunits of the same complex, and time course after double-strand break induction.

For synchronization in G1, alpha factor was added (Zymo research and Innovagen AB) at 3 µg/ml final concentrations to logarithmically growing cells, and G1 arrest was obtained at indicated temperatures for 2.5 h. For S-phase arrest, cells were grown to log phase and arrested in G1 with alpha factor for 2 h, and then incubated in the presence of 200 mM hydroxyurea (HU) (Sigma) for 30 min. Cells were then washed twice with rich medium containing 100µg/ml pronase (Calbiochem). Finally cells were resuspended in medium containing HU and pronase, and growth continued for indicated time periods. G2/M arrest was achieved 2.5 h after addition of benomyl (Sigma, 80µg/ml), to logarithmically growing cells. G1, S and G2/M arrests were checked microscopically and by FACS. DSBs were induced by activation of the HO endonuclease from the GAL1-10-promoter by addition of 2% galactose to cell cultures initially grown in 2% raffinose. ⢠Technical protocols for preparing the hybridization extract Extract preparation was processed following the Shirahige lab protocol (http://chromosomedynamics.bio.titech.ac.jp ). 5x108 cells were disrupted using Multi-Beads Shocker (MB400U, YASUI KIKAI, Osaka). Whole cell extract was sonicated to obtain 400-600 bp genomic DNA fragments. Anti-Flag monoclonal antibody M2 (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO) coupled to Dynabeads (Dynal, protein A Dynabeads) were used for chromatin immunoprecipitation. The immunprecipates were eluted and incubated over night at 65ºC to reverse the cross-link. Immunoprecipitated genomic DNA was incubated with proteinase K, extracted 2 times with phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol, precipitated, resuspended in TE and incubated with RnaseA. The DNA was then purified using the Qiagen PCR purification kit, and concentrated by ethanol precipitation. The DNA was amplified by PCR after random priming. 10 ug of amplified DNA was digested with Dnase I to a mean size of 100 bp. After Dnase I inactivation at 95ºC. DNA fragments were end-labeled by addition of 25 U of Terminal Transferase and 1 nmol Biotin-N6ddATP (NEN) for 1 hour at 37ºC as previously described by Winzeler et al. (Science. 281, 1194-1197, 1998). The entire sample was used for hybridization. ⢠Hybridization procedures and parameters: Hybridization, blocking and washing were carried out as previously described (http://chromosomedynamics.bio.titech.ac.jp). Each sample was hybridized to the array in 150 ul containing 6xSSPE; 0.005% TritonX-100; 15 ug fragmented denatured salmon sperm DNA (Gibco-BRL); 1 nmole 3'biotin labelled control oligonucleotide (oligo B2, Affymetrix). Samples were denatured at 100ºC for 10 minutes, and then put on ice before being hybridized for 16 hours at 42ºC in a hybridization oven (GeneChip Hybridization Oven 640, Affymetrix). Washing and scanning protocol provided by Affymetrix was performed automatically on a fluidics station (GeneChip fluidics station 450, Affymetrix). ⢠Measurement data and specifications: S. cerevisiae arrays were scanned using the Genechip Scanner3000 7G following the library array description. All the cel files data and processed data files can be downloaded from GEO database or from our Web sites. The primary analysis of tiling chip data was performed following exactly the statistical algorithm used for Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS). The detailed information for the algorithm used can be downloaded from the Affymetrix web site at http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/technotes/statistical_reference_guide.pdf. The analysis is available from K.S. on request. For the ChrVI array, one unit for analysis (locus) was set to 300bp and for whole genome arrays to 100bp. Fold change value, change p-value, and detection p-value for each locus were obtained by primary analysis. For the discrimination of positive and negative signals for the binding, we used three criteria as follows. First, the reliability of the signal strength was judged by detection p-value of each locus (p-value<=0.01 for chromosome VI and pvalue?0.0025 for whole genome array). Secondly, reliability of binding ratio was judged by change p-value (p-value<=0.01 for chromosome VI and p-value<=0.0025 for whole genome array). Thirdly, clusters consisting of at least 500bp contiguous loci that satisfied the above two criteria were selected, because it is known that a single site of protein-DNA interaction resulted in immuno-precipitation of DNA fragments that hybridized not only to the locus of the actual binding site but also to its neighbors. Under these conditions both types of arrays give essentially the same results for the binding profile. Repeated sequences were masked out and not included in the calculation of protein binding profile. The correlation coefficient of Smc6 binding profiles in G2/M from two independent experiments was 0.955, showing that the whole genome ChIP on chip data was reproducible. For comparison of the localization of Smc6 in different experiments and that of Smc6 and Scc1 on whole genome maps, peaks with signal to log ratio higher than 0.6 were chosen, and peaks which were distributed within a 5kb region was recognized as one peak. In the analysis of the number of Smc6 localization sites on each chromosome a 40 kb region spanning all centromeres were excluded. This region in addition to that downstream the rDNA repeats was also excluded from the analysis when comparing Smc6 localization in wild type, scc2-4 and scc1-73 cells. ⢠Array Design: General array design: in situ synthesized arrays by Affymetrix Chromosome VI S.cerevisiae: rikDACF, P/N# 510636 Whole Genome Array S.cerevisiae: S.cerevisiae Tiling1.0F Arrays, Part#520286 and Part#520280

Project description:Studies have shown that HIV-infected patients develop neurocognitive disorders characterized by neuronal dysfunction. The lack of productive infection of neurons by HIV suggests that viral and cellular proteins, with neurotoxic activities, released from HIV-1-infected target cells can cause this neuronal deregulation. The viral protein R (Vpr), a protein encoded by HIV-1, has been shown to alter the expression of various important cytokines and inflammatory proteins in infected and uninfected cells; however the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Using a human neuronal cell line, we found that Vpr can be taken up by neurons causing: (i) deregulation of calcium homeostasis, (ii) endoplasmic reticulum-calcium release, (iii) activation of the oxidative stress pathway, (iv) mitochondrial dysfunction and v- synaptic retraction. In search for the cellular factors involved, we performed microRNAs and gene array assays using human neurons (primary cultures or cell line, SH-SY5Y) that we treated with recombinant Vpr proteins. Interestingly, Vpr deregulates the levels of several microRNAs (e.g. miR-34a) and their target genes (e.g. CREB), which could lead to neuronal dysfunctions. Therefore, we conclude that Vpr plays a major role in neuronal dysfunction through deregulating microRNAs and their target genes, a phenomenon that could lead to the development of neurocognitive disorders. Using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Vpr) on the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs.

Project description:During meiosis, Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes underpin two fundamental features of meiosis: homologous recombination and chromosome segregation. While meiotic functions of the cohesin and condensin complexes have been delineated, the role of the third SMC complex, Smc5/6, remains enigmatic. Diminished Smc5/6 function causes severe defects in nuclear division, but the underlying causes of these defects remain unclear. Here we identify specific, essential meiotic functions for the Smc5/6 complex in homologous recombination and regulation of cohesin. We show that Smc5/6 is enriched at centromeres and cohesin-association sites where it regulates sister-chromatid cohesion and the timely removal of cohesin from chromosomal arms, respectively. Smc5/6 also localizes to recombination hotspots, where it promotes normal formation and resolution of joint-molecule intermediates. Furthermore, we find that Smc5/6 specifically promotes resolution of joint molecules via the XPF-family endonuclease, Mus81-Mms4Eme1. We propose that Smc5/6 acts as a chaperone for M-bM-^@M-^XmitoticM-bM-^@M-^Y-like recombination processes during meiosis. ChIP-chip was used to compare Smc5 localization in wild-type and spo11 strains

Project description:The accessory viral protein R (Vpr) is encoded by all primate lentiviruses. Vpr counteracts DNA repair pathways, modulates viral immune sensing, and induces cell-cycle arrest in cell culture. However, its impact in vivo is controversial. Here, we show that deletion of vpr is associated with delayed viral replication kinetics, rapid innate immune activation, development and maintenance of strong B cell responses, and generation of higher avidity p27 Gag antibodies in rhesus macaques. All wild-type SIVmac239 infected animals maintained high viral loads and five of six developed fatal immunodeficiency during ~80 weeks of follow-up. Lack of Vpr was associated with better preservation of CD4+ T cells, lower viral loads and an attenuated clinical course of infection in most animals. Our results demonstrate that Vpr contributes to efficient viral immune evasion and the full pathogenic potential of SIVmac in vivo. Inhibition of Vpr may improve humoral immune control of viral replication.
