A time-resolved atlas of histone modifications during mitotic entry

ABSTRACT: Mitotic chromosome formation is essential for faithful chromosome segregation in metazoans. While condensin complexes are critical for the formation of rod-shaped mitotic chromosomes, additional mechanisms—particularly those involving phosphorylation and deacetylation of specific histone residues—have been proposed to contribute a further 2- to 4-fold reduction in mitotic chromatin volume. In this study, we employ high-resolution mass spectrometry to determine the kinetics of histone modifications in cell cultures undergoing a highly synchronous mitotic entry at 2.5-minute resolution. Our analysis reveals three different programmes of histone H3 phosphorylation on T3, S10 and S28. These modifications are consistent with methyl-phos switches regulating the association of readers with chromatin other than at promoters. Mass spectrometry and quantitative ChIP-Seq reveal that H3 T3 phosphorylation is a general marker of heterochromatin and not specifically centromeres as previously suggested. Finally, we show that histone acetylation undergoes only modest changes as rod-shaped chromosomes form during unperturbed mitotic entry. Thus, previously reported reductions in acetylation associated with chromosome formation were apparently attributable to delays in mitotic exit used as part of mitotic synchronisation protocols. The mechanism of condensin-independent chromatin compaction in mitosis remains unexplained.

Rules of engagement for condensins and cohesins guide mitotic chromosome formation.

Project description:During mitosis, interphase chromatin is rapidly converted into rod-shaped mitotic chromosomes. Using Hi-C, imaging, proteomics and polymer modeling, we determine how the activity and interplay between loop-extruding SMC motors accomplishes this dramatic transition. Our work reveals rules of engagement for SMC complexes that are critical for allowing cells to refold interphase chromatin into mitotic chromosomes. We find that condensin disassembles interphase chromatin loop organization by evicting or displacing extrusive cohesin. In contrast, condensin bypasses cohesive cohesins, thereby maintaining sister chromatid cohesion while separating the sisters. Studies of mitotic chromosomes formed by cohesin, condensin II and condensin I alone or in combination allow us to develop new models of mitotic chromosome conformation. In these models, loops are consecutive and not overlapping, implying that condensins do not freely pass one another but stall upon encountering each other. The dynamics of Hi-C interactions and chromosome morphology reveal that during prophase loops are extruded in vivo at ~1-3 kb/sec by condensins as they form a disordered discontinuous helical scaffold within individual chromatids.

M18BP1 is a determinant of Condensin II activation

Project description:Condensin I and Condensin II promote drastic spatial compaction (condensation) of the genome upon mitotic entry. Condensin I binds chromatin only after dissolution of the nuclear envelope in prophase. Conversely, Condensin II is nuclear throughout the cell cycle and initiates chromosome condensation. Previous studies demonstrated that MCPH1 inhibits Condensin II to prevent chromosome condensation during interphase. Mechanisms that promote Condensin II activation in early mitosis likely exist but are currently unknown. Through genetic and proteomic approaches, we identify M18BP1, a protein previously associated with centromere identity, as a factor required for Condensin II localization to chromatin during mitosis. To activate and localize Condensin II, M18BP1 directly binds the CAP-G2 subunit. M18BP1 and MCPH1 compete for CAP-G2 binding, and CDK1 phosphorylation promotes replacement of MCPH1 with M18BP1 to activate Condensin II upon mitotic entry. Our results identify a fundamental and evolutionarily conserved mechanism of Condensin II activation

Rules of engagement for cohesin and condensin complexes during mitotic chromosome formation

Project description:During mitosis interphase chromatin is rapidly converted into rod-shaped mitotic chromosomes. Using Hi-C, imaging, proteomics, and polymer modeling we determine how the interplay between loop-extruding SMC motors accomplishes this dramatic transition. We find that condensin disassembles interphase chromatin loop organization by evicting or displacing extrusive cohesin. In contrast, condensins bypass cohesive cohesins, thereby maintaining sister chromatid cohesion while separating the sisters. We also estimate a speed of loop extrusion in vivo ~1-3 kb/sec. Our new models of mitotic chromosome conformation reveal that the loop organization by a discontinuous helical condensin II scaffold can vary greatly between chromosomes. We define a small set of rules of engagement for SMC complexes that together explain how cells refold interphase chromatin into mitotic chromosomes.

Large domains of heterochromatin direct the formation of short mitotic chromosome loops

Project description:During mitosis chromosomes reorganise into highly compact, rod-shaped forms, thought to consist of consecutive chromatin loops around a central protein scaffold. Condensin complexes are involved in chromatin compaction, but the contribution of other chromatin proteins, DNA sequence and histone modifications is less understood. A large region of fission yeast DNA inserted into a mouse chromosome was previously observed to adopt a mitotic organisation distinct from that of surrounding mouse DNA. Here we show that a similar distinct structure is common to a large subset of insertion events in both mouse and human cells and is coincident with the presence of high levels of heterochromatic H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3). Hi-C and microscopy indicate that the heterochromatinised fission yeast DNA is organised into smaller chromatin loops than flanking euchromatic mouse chromatin. We conclude that heterochromatin alters chromatin loop size, thus contributing to the distinct appearance of heterochromatin on mitotic chromosomes, such as at centromeres.

Condensin chromatin association is regulated by the combined actions of SMC head and hinge engagement and phosphorylation

Project description:The SMC condensin complex is essential for normal mitotic chromosome structure in eukaryotes. Here we undertake a comprehensive analysis of the importance of the condensin ATP binding and hydrolysis, SMC hinge stability and condensin subunit phosphorylation for chromatin association in budding yeast. We demonstrate that ATP binding is required for condensin chromatin association by both promoting stable binding of Smc4 and enabling head-head engagement. In contrast destabilizing the hinge domain of condensin facilitates chromatin association. Phosphorylation of condensin is enriched in enzymatic states with elevated chromatin association. Furthermore, condensin phosphorylation and Aurora/Ipl1 kinase function are required to maintain mitotic chromatin association. We find that Ipl1 activity stabilizes Smc4 interaction within the complex in a similar manner to ATP binding, illustrating a novel pathway of regulation of condensin activity by phosphorylation. In summary condensin’s chromatin association is positively regulated by phosphorylation and SMC ATP binding dependent head engagement and negatively regulated by hinge engagement. Our data argues that control of chromatin association by phosphorylation is through regulation of specific steps of its enzymatic cycle.

Quantitative Phosphoproteomics reveals new roles for PP6 in chromosome condensation and segregation

Project description:Protein phosphorylation by protein kinases and phosphatases is an important regulatory mechanism that controls mitotic progression. Protein Phosphatase 6 (PP6) is an essential enzyme with conserved roles in chromosome segregation and spindle assembly from yeast to humans. Here, we develop a baculovirus-mediated gene silencing approach and combine it with mass spectrometry-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to overcome the lack of PP6-specific inhibitors and comprehensively determine changes in phosphorylation and protein abundance upon depletion of the catalytic subunit of PP6 (PP6c). We identify 400 phosphopeptides on 267 proteins that increase in phosphorylation occupancy upon PP6c depletion in mitosis and reveal new PP6c-dependent regulatory pathways. We demonstrate that PP6c directly opposes casein kinase 2-dependent phosphorylation of the condensin I subunit NCAP-G and show that depletion of PP6c results in defects in chromosome and condensation and segregation in anaphase, consistent with deregulation of condensin I function.

Chip-chip of condensin subunits Brn1 and Smc4 and Scc2/4 and cohesin and Tfc3 (TFIIIC) on budding yeast chromosomes

Project description:Eukaryotic chromosomes reach their stable rod-shaped appearance in mitosis in a reaction dependent on the evolutionarily conserved condensin complex. Little is known about how and where condensin associates with chromosomes. Here, we analyse condensin binding to budding yeast chromosomes using high resolution oligonucleotide tiling arrays. Condensin binding sites coincide with those of the loading factor Scc2/4 of the related cohesin complex. The sites map to tRNA genes, ribosomal protein genes, and other places characterised by the RNA polymerase III transcription factor TFIIIC. An ectopic B-Box element, recognised by TFIIIC, constitutes a minimal condensin binding site, and TFIIIC and the Scc2/4 complex promote productive condensin association with chromosomes. A similar pattern of condensin binding is conserved along fission yeast chromosomes. This reveals that TFIIIC binding sites, including tRNA genes, constitute a hitherto unknown chromosomal feature with important implications for chromosome architecture during both interphase and mitosis.

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.
