ParBF DNA binding profiles from variants of the CTP binding motif

ABSTRACT: We report the genome-wide analysis from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA (ChIP-sequencing) of the DNA binding pattern of ParBF (SopB) of plasmid F. This study, performed in E. coli, investigates the impact of mutations in the CTP binding motif BoxIII on ParBF DNA binding profiles in vivo. We found that ParBF-N153A allele binds to parS as WT but is impaired in clamp formation thus abolishing the long distance DNA binding on parS-proximal DNA. By contrast, ParBF-R156A DNA binding profile reveals that it binds to parS, converts to clamps that diffuse over several Kb and unbinds non-specific DNA in a similar way as WT. However, the reduction in ParB binding at proximity of parS revealed that ParBF-R156A is impaired in ParB-ParB interaction, thus preventing the assembly of ParB condensates.

A CTP-dependent gating mechanism enables ParB spreading on DNA

Project description:Proper chromosome segregation is essential in all living organisms. The ParA-ParB-parS system is widely employed for chromosome segregation in bacteria. Previously, we showed that Caulobacter crescentus ParB requires cytidine triphosphate to escape the nucleation site parS to spread by sliding to the neighboring DNA. Here, we provide the structural basis for this transition from nucleation to spreading by solving co-crystal structures of a C-terminal domain truncated C. crescentus ParB with parS and with a CTP analog. Nucleating ParB is an open clamp, in which parS is captured at the DNA-binding domain (the DNA-gate). Upon binding CTP, the N-terminal domain (NTD) self-dimerizes to close the NTD-gate of the clamp. The DNA-gate also closes, thus driving parS into a compartment between the DNA-gate and the C-terminal domain. CTP hydrolysis and/or the release of hydrolytic products may re-open the gates. Overall, we suggest a CTP-operated gating mechanism that regulates ParB nucleation and spreading.

The CTPase activity of ParB acts as a timing mechanism to control the dynamics and function of prokaryotic DNA partition complexes

Project description:DNA partitioning CTPases of the ParB family mediate the segregation of bacterial chromosomes and low-copy number plasmids. They act as DNA-sliding clamps that are loaded at parS motifs in the centro-meric region of target DNA molecules and then spread laterally to form large nucleoprotein complexes that serve as docking points for the DNA segregation machinery. Here, we identify conformational changes that underlie the CTP- and parS-dependent closure of ParB clamps. Moreover, we solve crystal structures of ParB in the pre- and post-hydrolysis state and provide insight into the catalytic mechanism underlying nucleotide hydrolysis. The characterization of CTPase-deficient ParB variants reveals that CTP hydrolysis serves as a timing mechanism to control the sliding time of ParB. Hyperstable clamps are trapped on the DNA, leading to excessing spreading and severe chromosome segregation defects in vivo. These findings clarify the role of the ParB CTPase cycle in partition complex dynamics and function and thus complete our understanding of this prototypic CTP-dependent molecular switch.

Effect of Smc and interaction with ParA on ParB binding to DNA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:In the majority of bacterial species, the tripartite ParAB-parS system, composed of an ATPase (ParA), a DNA-binding protein (ParB), and its target parS sequence(s), assists in the chromosome partitioning. ParB forms large nucleoprotein complexes at parS(s), located in the vicinity of oriC, which after replication are subsequently relocated by ParA to polar positions. It was shown that ParB-parS complexes are loading platforms for structural maintenance of chromosome (Smc) proteins, which juxtapose the two arms of the circular chromosome. In this work, we characterized the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ParB interactions with DNA in the absence of Smc and interaction with the cognate ParA using chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIPseq). We show that in strains lacking Smc or strains with disturbed ParB-ParA interactions (ParA L84K or ParB G11A mutations) ParB is able to bind and spread around parS1-4 cluster and still binds to half-parS sites. Comparison of the ratio between the number of ChIP-seq reads mapping to region around parS1-4 with those mapping to ChIPseq peaks containing half-parSs indicate no major effect of the twod factors on the extent of ParB spreading, thus suggesting that the mechanisms controlling ParB association with the DNA do not involve interaction with cognate ParA partner and Smc.

Genome-wide identification of ParB binding sites in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:ParA and ParB homologs are involved in accurate chromosome segregation in bacteria. ParBs participate in proper folding and initial separation of ori domains by binding to specific parS sites (palindromic centromere-like sequences), mainly localized close to oriC. Bioinformatic analyses identified 10 parS sequences in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genome. One parS from the parS1-parS4 cluster is required for ParB mediated chromosome segregation. To verify the binding of ParB to all known parSs in vivo as well as to identify additional ParB binding sites we performed chromation immunoprecipitation (ChIP) using polyclonal anti-ParB antibodies followed by high throughput sequencing. ChIP was performed with P. aeruginosa PAO1161 (WT) cells, PAO1161 pKB9 (ParB+++) cells with a slight, non-toxic ParB overproduction as well as with 3 strains containing parS modifications impairing ParB binding to these sites. The data confirmed ParB binding to all known parS sequences with the exception of parS5. Moreover, we identified more than a 1000 of new ParB-bound regions, majority of which contained a DNA motif corresponding to inner 7 nt from one arm of the parS palindrome. ParB interactions with these numerous sites could affect chromosome topology, compaction and gene expression classifying P. aeruginosa ParB as a Nucleoid Associated Protein (NAP).

Identification of ParB binding sites in vivo in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:To identify ParB binding sites in vivo, we performed ChIP experiments followed by high throughput sequencing using a 3xflag tagged version of ParB, in different genetic backgrounds. This allowed us to show that ParB binds in vivo mostly to 4 parS sites, located within 15 kb of oriC. We also identify 9 secondary ParB binding sites.

Ancestral (bi-)polarization control module in free-living and obligate intracellular bacteria

Project description:We report here the zitS DNA binding by ZitP and PopZ in Caulobacter crescentus. Also the parS site bound by ParB are showed. From chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of ParB, ZitP and PopZ DNA binding. We find that ZitP and PopZ binds DNA close to the parS site. This study provides evidence that PopZ and ZitP participates in DNA segregation in C. crescentus.

Expanding the diversity of bacterial DNA partitioning: A CTP-independent ParABS system for plasmid partitioning in Streptomyces

Project description:The ATP- and CTP-dependent ParA-ParB-parS segrosome is a macromolecular complex that segregates chromosomes/plasmids in most bacterial species. CTP binding and hydrolysis enable ParB to slide along DNA and to bridge and condense DNA, thereby dictating the size and dynamics of the tripartite ParABS complex. Several other evolutionarily distinct systems can also segregate DNA, although the full diversity of bacterial DNA partition systems remains unknown. Here, we identify a CTP-independent ParABS system that maintains the conjugative plasmid SCP2 in the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. We demonstrate that an SCP2 ParB-like protein, ParT, loads onto DNA at an 18-bp parS site and diffuses away to the adjacent DNA despite lacking an apparent CTPase domain and detectable NTPase activity. We further show that parS DNA facilitates ParT transition from loading to a diffusing state, allowing ParT to accumulate on DNA, and that ParT activates the ATPase activity of its cognate partner protein, ParA. Additionally, we identify numerous structural homologs of ParT, suggesting that CTP-independent diffusion on DNA might be more common than previously recognized. Overall, our findings reveal a CTP-independent DNA translocation as an alternative and unexpected mechanism for assembling a bacterial DNA segregation complex and suggest that CTP binding and hydrolysis are not universal features of ParABS-like systems.

ParBF DNA binding profiles over various supercoiling level and on linear DNA

Project description:We report the genome-wide analysis from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA (ChIP-sequencing) of the DNA binding pattern of ParBF (SopB) of plasmid F. This study, performed in E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium, investigates the impact of DNA supercoiling on ParBF DNA binding profiles in vivo. We found that variation in DNA supercoiling does not significantly affect the ParB DNA binding profiles even on linear DNA.

Impact of culture conditions on ParB distribution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and analysis of ParB distribution in spreading deficient strains as well as half-parS25 strain

Project description:Chromosome segregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is assisted by the tripartite ParAB-parS system, composed of an ATPase (ParA), a DNA-binding protein (ParB), and its target parS sequence(s). ParB forms a nucleoprotein complex around four parSs (parS1-parS4), which is positioned within the cell by ParA. Remarkably, ParB of P. aeruginosa binds to multiple heptanucleotides (half-parSs) scattered in the genome. In this work we analysed the influence of culturing conditions on ParB binding to DNA. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq), we analysed patterns of genome occupancy by ParB in cells, with either coupling or uncoupling between replication and cell division. Our data indicated no altered preference of ParB to bind to individual half-parS sites under varying growth conditions, however a shift from parSs to half-parSs was evident in response to extended cell division time. The ChIP-seq analysis of strains expressing ParB variants unable to dislocate from parSs showed that ParB spreading ability is not required for ParB binding to half-parSs. Finally, a P. aeruginosa strain with mutated 27 half-parSs forming the strongest ParB ChIP-seq peaks was constructed and analysed showing changes in the ParB coverage of oriC region. Overall this work suggests the role of half-parSs in retaining ParB on the nucleoid within P. aeruginosa cells.
