Spreading-dependent or independentSir2-mediated gene silencing in budding yeast

ABSTRACT: purpose: investigation the global insights into Sir2-dependent gene silencing on all silent chromatin regions in budding yeast Method: RNA-sequencing Results: the Sir2 binding domain length caused by Sir2 spreading from the chromosomal end is different in each telomere in budding yeast. Expression of most subtelomeric genes increased in the ∆sir2 strain. Some Sir2-regulated subtelomeric genes were positioned within the telomeric Sir2-binding domain, while the others were outside the Sir2-binding domain. In addition, Sir2 was bound to the mating-type loci and rDNA region, and gene expression increased in the ∆sir2 strain. Conclusion: that S. cerevisiae has two modes of Sir2-mediated gene silencing: One is dependent on chromatin binding and spreading of Sir2, and the other is independent of spreading of Sir2

Project description:Subtelomeric chromatin is subject to evolutionarily conserved complex epigenetic regulation and is implicated in numerous aspects of cellular function including formation of heterochromatin, regulation of different stress response pathways, and control of lifespan. Subtelomeric DNA is characterized by the presence of specific repeated segments that serve to propagate silencing activities or to protect chromosomal regions from spreading epigenetic control. Using condition-specific genome wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and expression data, we show that several yeast transcription factors regulate subtelomeric silencing in response to various environmental stimuli through conditional association with proto-silencing regions called X elements. In this context, some factors control the propagation of silencing toward centromeres in response to stimuli affecting stress responses and metabolism, whereas others appear to influence boundaries of silencing, regulating telomere-proximal genes in Y’ elements. The factors implicated here have previously been shown to control adjacent genes at intrachromosomal positions, suggesting dual functionality of the factors and a possible mechanism of coordinating intrachromosomal gene expression with subtelomeric silencing. These data suggest a fundamental mechanism to coordinate telomere biology related to aging and adaptation with cellular environment and the activities of other cellular processes. These are Chip-CHIP data for myc tagged Oaf1p transcription factor from S. cerevisiae grown in the presence or absence of the fatty acid oleate. ChIP-CHIP analysis was performed to determine the genomic distribution of Oaf1p transcription factor in the BY4742 yeast strain after growth in 0.1% glucose, or in the presence of the fatty acid oleate. Three biological replicates for each growth condition (in the presence of low glucose or 5 h after a shift to medium containing oleate as a carbon source). ChIP samples were amplified by PCR, labelled and hybridized to 50-mer tiling arrays covering both strands of the entire yeast genome at a 64 bp resolution.
