Project description:Condensins are multi-subunit protein complexes that regulate chromosome structure throughout cell-cycle. Metazoans contain two types of condensin complexes (I and II) with essential and distinct functions. In C. elegans a third type of condensin (IDC) functions as part of the X chromosome dosage compensation complex1,2. We mapped genome-wide binding sites of the three condensin types in C. elegans embryos. Characteristics of condensin binding are similar between condensin types.

ChIP-seq profiles of C. elegans subunits of the three condensins in 3-6 replicates from mixed stage embryos, controls are included, and RNA-Seq profiles of C. elegans in 5 replicates from mixed staged embryos. Additionally, ChIP-seq profiles of the condensin II subunit KLE-2 in 6 replicates from L3 with controls, and RNA-Seq profiles of KLE-2 mutants in 3 replicates each from L3.

Project description:Deposition of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation at promoter regions by the SET1/COMPASS complex is associated with context-dependent effects on gene expression. Transcription-independent functions have also been attributed to this highly conserved complex, but whether these contribute to higher-order chromosome organization has not been explored. Using a quantitative FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer)-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) approach to assay nanometer scale chromatin compaction in live animals, we reveal an unexpected role for SET1/COMPASS in structuring meiotic chromosomes in the germline of C. elegans. Inactivation of SET-2, the C. elegans homologue of the catalytic subunit SET1, strongly enhanced chromosome organization defects and loss of fertility resulting from partial depletion of condensin-II. Loss of CFP-1, the chromatin targeting subunit of COMPASS, similarly affected germline chromatin compaction measured by FLIM-FRET and enhanced condensin-II knock-down phenotypes. Defects in chromosome morphology following conditional inactivation of topoisomerase II, another structural component of chromosomes, were also aggravated in the absence of set-2. Our results are consistent with a role of SET1/COMPASS in shaping meiotic chromosomes in the C. elegans germline, and have important implications for how chromatin-modifying complexes and histone modifications may cooperate with non histone-proteins to achieve proper chromosome organization, not only in meiosis, but also in mitosis.

Project description:Structural Maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes, cohesin and condensins, have been named after their roles during meiosis and mitosis. Recent data in mammalian cells and Drosophila have described the additional role of cohesin for genome folding into loops and domains during interphase. However, determinants of genome folding in holocentric species remain unclear. Using high resolution chromosome conformation capture, we show that overlapping large-scale nuclear localization and small-scale epigenomic states compartmentalize the C. elegans genome. By systematically and acutely inactivating each SMC complex, we observe that in contrast to other studied systems, cohesin creates small loops, while condensin I has a major role in genome folding: its inactivation causes genome-wide decompaction, chromosome mixing, loss of loops and TAD structures and reinforcement of fine-scale epigenomic compartments. Counter-intuitively, removal of condensin I and its X-specific variant condensin IDC from the X chromosomes led to the formation of a loop compartment coinciding with a subset of previously characterized loading sites for condensin IDC and bound by the X-targeting complex SDC. While transcriptional changes were limited for all autosomes upon cohesin and condensin II inactivation, removal of condensin I/IDC from the X chromosome led to transcriptional up-regulation of X-linked genes demonstrating that a sustained role for condensin IDC in gene regulation. Finally, while condensin I inactivation leads to reduced lifespan, we show that this reduction is due to X-specific gene upregulation rather than global genome decompaction.

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is often used as a model organism to study cell and developmental biology. Quantitative mass spectrometry has only recently been performed in C. elegans and, so far, most studies have been done on adult worm samples. Here we use quantitative mass spectrometry to characterise protein level changes across the four larval developmental stages (L1-L4) of C. elegans, in biological triplicate. In total, we identify 4,130 proteins and quantify 1,541 proteins that were identified across all four stages in all three biological repeats with at least 2 unique peptides per protein. Using hierarchical clustering and functional ontological analyses, we identify 21 protein groups containing proteins with similar protein profiles across the four stages, and highlight the most overrepresented biological functions in each of these protein clusters. In addition, we use the dataset to identify putative larval stage specific proteins in each individual developmental stage, as well as in the early and late developmental stages. In summary, this dataset provides a system-wide analysis of protein level changes across the four C. elegans larval developmental stages, which serves as a useful resource for the worm development research community.
