Project description:Conserved and unique features of the SAGA complex in plants
| PRJNA678683 | ENA
Project description:The SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) complex is an evolutionarily conserved, multifunctional co-activator complex, which has a critical role in histone acetylation, gene expression, and various developmental processes in eukaryotes. However, little is known about the composition and function of the SAGA complex in plants. Here, we found that the SAGA complex in Arabidopsis thaliana contains not only conserved subunits and but also four plant-specific subunits, including three homologous subunits, SCS1, SCS2A, and SCS2B (SCS1/2A/2B), and a TAF-like subunit, TAFL. We also found that a series of SAGA subunits are shared in yeast and/or metazoans but are absent in Arabidopsis. Mutations in the unique SAGA subunits SCS1/2A/2B lead to defective phenotypes similar to those caused by mutations in the conserved SAGA subunits HAG1 and ADA2B; these defective phenotypes include delayed juvenile-to-adult phase transition, late flowering, and increased trichome density. SCS1/2A/2B function in the SAGA complex to promote the transcription of development-related genes by facilitating histone H3 acetylation. The results suggest that, compared to SAGA complexes in other eukaryotes, the SAGA complex in plants has evolved unique features that are necessary for normal growth and development.

Project description:The SAGA complex is a conserved, multifunctional coactivator that plays broad roles in eukaryotic transcription. Previous studies suggested that Tra1, the largest SAGA component, is required either for SAGA assembly or for recruitment by DNA-bound transcriptional activators. In contrast to S. cerevisiae and mouse, a tra1? mutant is viable in S. pombe, allowing us to test these issues in vivo. We find that, in a tra1? mutant, SAGA assembles and is recruited to some, but not all promoters. Consistent with these findings, Tra1 regulates the expression of only a subset of SAGA-dependent genes. We previously reported that the SAGA subunits Gcn5 and Spt8 have opposing regulatory roles during S. pombe sexual differentiation. We show here that, like Gcn5, Tra1 represses this pathway, although by a distinct mechanism. Thus, our study reveals that Tra1 has specific regulatory roles, rather than global functions, within SAGA.

Project description:TFIID and SAGA complexes play a critical role in RNA Polymerase II dependent activated transcription. Although the two regulatory complexes are recruited to promoters by activation domain-interactions, the contribution of the different subunits or the different domains of the individual subunits is not completely understood. Taf9 is a shared subunit in TFIID and SAGA and has an N-terminal H3-like histone fold domain and a highly conserved C-terminal domain, Taf9-CTD. In this study, we have uncovered an essential role for the Taf9-CTD in transcriptional activation. The Taf9-CTD was not essential for the histone-fold mediated interaction with Taf6, SAGA and TFIID integrity or Gcn4 interaction with SAGA. Transcriptome profiling performed under Gcn4 activating conditions showed that the Taf9-CTD is required for expression of ~17% of the yeast genome and provides a coactivator function to recruit TFIID and SAGA complexes to the promoters in vivo during transcriptional activation. Integrated genome-wide data analysis showed that the Taf9-CTD is required for activation of promoters bound by several transcription factors indicating a broad role for Taf9-CTD in promoter occupancy of TFIID or SAGA complexes. Interestingly, only a subset of the promoters seemed to be dependent on the Taf9-CTD for assembly of the pre-initiation complex indicating redundancy in activator targets to assemble PIC in vivo. Together these results indicate that evolutionarily conserved domains in shared subunits of TFIID and SAGA have a pervasive role in genome-wide transcription. This GEO series consists of 14 microarray hybridizations using the Agilent two-color experiment with the Agilent Custom Saccharomyces cerevisiae 8x15k gene expression array. Four biological replicates each for the wild-type (TAF9), the mutant taf9-tCRD2 strain treated or untreated with SM, and the wild-type (TAF9) versus mutant taf9-tCRD2 treated with SM hybridized as dye-swapped replicates. Two biological replicates for wild-type (SPT20) vs spt20D strains treated with SM, and hybridized as dye-swapped replicates to identify the fraction of SAGA dependent genes under amino-acid starvation conditions. The overall aim was to identify genes dependent on the conserved C-terminal region domain of TAF9 and determine their dependence on the SAGA subunit Spt20 for expression.

Project description:The SAGA complex is a conserved multifunctional coactivator known to play broad roles in eukaryotic transcription. To gain new insights into its functions, we have performed biochemical and genetic analyses of SAGA in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Purification of the S. pombe SAGA complex showed that its subunit composition is identical to that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of S. pombe SAGA mutants revealed that SAGA has two opposing roles regulating sexual differentiation. First, in nutrient rich conditions, the SAGA histone acetyltransferase, Gcn5, represses ste11+, which encodes the master regulator of the mating pathway. In contrast, the SAGA subunit Spt8 is required for the induction of ste11+ upon nutrient starvation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that these regulatory effects are direct, as SAGA is physically associated with the ste11+ promoter independent of nutrient levels. Genetic tests suggest that nutrient levels do cause a switch in SAGA function, as spt8? suppresses gcn5? with respect to ste11+ derepression in rich medium, whereas the opposite relationship, gcn5? suppression of spt8?, occurs during starvation. Thus, SAGA plays distinct roles in the control of the switch from proliferation to differentiation in S. pombe through the dynamic and opposing activities of Gcn5 and Spt8.

Project description:SAGA is a highly conserved transcriptional co-activator complex involved in multiple steps of transcription with activities that function both pre and post initiation. Loss of individual subunits results in developmental defects, suggesting a role in development. To better understand the roles of SAGA functions in developmental gene expression and it's relationship with RNA polymerase II, we examined its composition, binding profile, and the effects of subunit loss on gene expression in two distinct cell types in late stage Drosophila embryos: muscle and neurons. Chromatin IP of FLAG-tagged SAGA subunit Ada2b, and RNA polymerase II (antibody 4H8), was performed in neuronal (elav+) or muscle (mef2+) cells isolated by FACS from late stage embryos, and compared to whole cell extracts (input). The control constists of an IP performed in neuronal cells from a non-tagged strain.
