Genome-wide localization of Swi6 and H3-Lys9-me2 in wt and mutant starins of S. pombe

ABSTRACT: ChIP-on-ChIP experiments were performed to quantitate the genome-wide localization of heterochromatin proteins Swi6 and H3-Lys9-me2 in wild type versus polalpha mutant swi7H4, Pol delta mutant, dts2 and cut4 mutant cut4-993. Our results indicate that the localization of Swi6 and H3-Lys7-me2 at heterochromaitn regions, like centromere, telomere and mating-type is abrogated in the swi7H4, dts2 and cut4 mutants.

Small RNA profiles in wt and swi6 deletion strains

Project description:Proteins of the conserved HP1 family are elementary components of heterochromatin and are generally assumed to play a central role in creating a rigid heterochromatic network that is densely packed and inaccessible to the transcription machinery. In this study we demonstrate that the fission yeast HP1 protein Swi6 exists as a single highly dynamic population and rapidly exchanges in cis and in trans between different heterochromatic regions. Binding to methylated H3K9 or to heterochromatic RNA decelerates Swi6 mobility. We further show that Swi6 is largely dispensable to maintain heterochromatin domains. In contrast, our results disclose an unexpected role of Swi6 in demarcating constitutive heterochromatin from neighboring euchromatin. Our results are consistent with a stochastic model of heterochromatin and imply that heterochromatin is permissive for transcription throughout the cell cycle. Rather than promoting maintenance and spreading of heterochromatin, Swi6 appears to limit these processes to ensure that heterochromatin is appropriately confined.

Gene expression and distribution of Swi6 in partial aneuploids of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Project description:Imbalances of gene expression in aneuploids containing an abnormal number of chromosomes cause a variety of growth and developmental defects. Aneuploid cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are inviable, or very unstable, during mitotic growth. However, S. pombe haploid cells bearing a small portion (less than 20%) of the third chromosome can grow stably as a partial aneuploid. We compared the gene expression profiles of partial aneuploid strains with those of the normal haploid strain using DNA microarray analysis. The expression of genes in disomic or trisomic cells was found to increase approximately in proportion to their copy number. We also found that some genes in the monosomic regions of partial aneuploid strains changed their expression level despite there being no change in copy number. We initially speculated that this change in gene expression was a secondary effect resulting from increased expression of the genes in the disomic or trisomic regions. However, even in an aneuploid strain that bears a minichromosome containing no protein coding genes, genes located within about 50kb of the telomere showed similar increases in expression. This result indicates that the change in expression of the genes in the telomere-adjacent region is not a secondary effect of the increased gene dosage. Examining the distribution of the heterochromoatin protein Swi6 using DNA microarray analysis, we found that binding of Swi6 within ~50kb from the telomere occurred less in partial aneuploid strains compared to euploid strains. These results suggest that additional chromosomes in aneuploid strains could lead to imbalances in gene expression through derepression of heterochromatin. Keywords: Type of experiment: Comparing between partial aneuploid strains and normal haploid strains.

Identification of a novel, tunable interface in the S.pombe HP1 protein, Swi6, that underpins epigenetic inheritance.

Project description:HP1 proteins bind dynamically to H3K9 methylation and are essential for establishing and maintaining transcriptionally silent epigenetic states, known as heterochromatin. HP1 proteins can dimerize, forming a binding interface that interacts with and recruits diverse chromatin-associated factors. HP1 proteins rapidly evolve through sequence changes and gene duplications, but the extent of variation required to achieve functional specialization is unknown. To investigate how changes in amino acid sequence impact epigenetic inheritance, we performed a targeted mutagenesis screen of the dimerization and protein interaction domain of the S.pombe HP1 homolog Swi6. We discovered that substitutions mapping to an auxiliary motif in Swi6 outside the dimerization interface can lead to complete functional divergence. Specifically, we identified point mutations at a single amino acid residue that resulted in either persistent gain or loss of function in epigenetic inheritance without affecting heterochromatin establishment. These substitutions increase Swi6 chromatin occupancy in vivo and alter Swi6-protein interactions that selectively affect H3K9me inheritance. Based on our findings, we propose that relatively minor changes in Swi6 amino acid composition can lead to profound changes in epigenetic inheritance, underscoring the remarkable plasticity associated with HP1 proteins and their ability to evolve new functions.
