Project description:Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes shape the genomes of virtually all organisms but how they function remains incompletely understood. Recent studies in bacteria and eukaryotes have led to a unifying model in which these ring-shaped ATPases act along contiguous DNA segments processively enlarging DNA loops. In support of this model, single-molecule imaging experiments indicate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae condensin complexes can extrude DNA loops in an ATP hydrolysis dependent manner in vitro. Here, using time-resolved high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) we investigate the interplay between ATPase activity of the Bacillus subtilis SMC complex and loop formation in vivo. We show that point mutants in the SMC nucleotide binding domain that impair but do not eliminate ATPase activity not only exhibit delays in de novo loop formation but also have reduced rates of processive loop enlargement. These data provide in vivo evidence that SMC complexes function as loop extruders.

Project description:This data is from BS3 crosslinked condensin tetramer How protein complexes of the SMC family fold DNA into the large loops that are fundamental for the 3D organization of genomes is a central unresolved question of chromosome biology. We used electron cryomicroscopy to investigate the reaction cycle of the SMC complex condensin, which is a key determinant of chromosome morphology and behavior during mitosis. Our structures of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae condensin holo complex at different functional stages suggest that ATP binding induces the transition from a folded-rod SMC conformation into an open architecture and triggers the exchange of the two HEAT-repeat subunits at the SMC ATPase head domains. We propose that these steps result in the interconversion of DNA binding sites in the catalytic core that form the basis of the DNA translocation and loop-extrusion activities of condensin.

Project description:Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes play critical roles in chromosome dynamics in virtually all organisms but how they function remains poorly understood. In Bacillus subtilis, SMC condensin complexes are topologically loaded at centromeric sites adjacent to the replication origin. Here we provide evidence that these ring-shaped assemblies tether the left and right chromosome arms together while traveling from the origin to the terminus (>2 Mb) at rates >50kb/min. Condensin movement scales linearly with time arguing for an active transport mechanism. These data support a model in which SMC complexes function by processively enlarging DNA loops. Loop formation followed by processive enlargement provides a mechanism for how condensin complexes compact and resolve sister chromatids in mitosis and how cohesin generates topologically associating domains (TADs) during interphase.

Project description:Smc/ScpAB promotes chromosome segregation in prokaryotes, presumably by compacting and resolving nascent sister chromosomes. The underlying mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the role of the Smc ATPase activity in the recruitment of Smc/ScpAB to the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. We demonstrate that targeting of Smc/ScpAB to ParB/parS loading sites is strictly dependent on engagement of Smc head domains and relies on an open organization of the Smc coiled coils. We find that dimerization of the Smc hinge domain stabilizes closed Smc rods and hinders head engagement as well as chromosomal targeting. Conversely, the ScpAB sub-complex promotes head engagement and Smc rod opening and thereby facilitates recruitment of Smc to parS sites. Upon ATP hydrolysis, Smc/ScpAB is released from loading sites and relocates within the chromosomeâpresumably through translocation along DNA double helices. Our findings define an intermediate state in the process of chromosome organization by Smc. ChIP-Seq experiments were performed on wild type and mutant cells of Bacillus subtilis 1A700.

Project description:Condensin is a conserved SMC complex that uses its ATPase machinery to structure genomes, but how it does so is largely unknown. We show that condensin’s ATPase has a dual role in chromosome condensation. Mutation of one ATPase site impairs condensation, while mutating the second site results in hyperactive condensin that compacts DNA faster than wild type, both in vivo and in vitro. Whereas one site drives loop formation, the second site is involved in the formation of more stable higher-order Z loop structures. Using hyperactive condensin I, we reveal that condensin II is not intrinsically needed for the shortening of mitotic chromosomes. Condensin II rather is required for a straight chromosomal axis and enables faithful chromosome segregation by counteracting the formation of ultrafine DNA bridges. SMC complexes with distinct roles for each ATPase site likely reflect a universal principle that enables these molecular machines to intricately control chromosome architecture.

Project description:SMC condensin complexes play a central role in compacting and resolving replicated chromosomes in virtually all organisms yet how they accomplish this remains elusive. In Bacillus subtilis, condensin is loaded at centromeric parS sites, where it encircles DNA and individualizes newly replicated origins. Using chromosome conformation capture and cytological assays, we show that condensin recruitment to origin-proximal parS sites is required for the juxtaposition of the two chromosome arms. Recruitment to ectopic parS sites promotes alignment of large tracks of DNA flanking these sites. Importantly, insertion of parS sites on opposing arms indicates that these ?zip-up? interactions only occur between adjacent DNA segments. Collectively, our data suggest that condensin resolves replicated origins by promoting the juxtaposition of DNA flanking parS sites drawing sister origins in on themselves and away from each other. These results are consistent with a model in which condensin encircles the DNA flanking its loading site and then slides down, tethering the two arms together. Lengthwise condensation via loop-extrusion could provide a generalizable mechanism by which condensin acts dynamically to individualize origins in B. subtilis and, when loaded along eukaryotic chromosomes, to resolve them during mitosis.

Project description:Condensin complexes are evolutionarily conserved molecular motors from the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family, that use ATPase activity to translocate along DNA and form loops. Condensin and topoisomerase II (TOP-2) are essential for the structure and function of mitotic chromosomes. While condensin-mediated DNA looping is thought to direct TOP-2 chain-passing activity to separate sister chromatids, it is not known if TOP-2 in turn regulates loop formation. Here we used an X chromosome specific condensin that represses transcription for dosage compensation in C.elegans, to determine how DNA topology affects SMC translocation in vivo. We applied auxin-inducible degradation of topoisomerases I and II to determine their effect on condensin DC binding and function. We found that both topoisomerases colocalize with condensin DC and control its movement at different genomic scales. TOP-2 depletion hindered condensin DC spreading over long distances, resulting in accumulation around its X-specific recruitment sites and shorter Hi-C interactions. In contrast, TOP-1 depletion did not affect long-range spreading but resulted in accumulation of condensin DC within gene bodies, specially of highly expressed and long genes. Both TOP-1 and TOP-2 depletion resulted in X chromosome upregulation indicating that condensin DC translocation at both scales is required for its function in transcriptional repression. Together our work reveals distinct DNA topological requirements for two modes of condensin DC association with chromatin: long-range linear translocation that requires decatenation and unknotting of DNA and short-range binding to genes that requires resolution of transcription-induced supercoiling.
