Project description:Genome function depends on regulated chromosome folding, and loop extrusion by the protein complex cohesin is essential for this multilayered organization. The chromosomal positioning of cohesin is controlled by transcription, and the complex also localizes to stalled replication forks. However, the role of transcription and replication in chromosome looping remains unclear. Here, we show that reduction of chromosome-bound RNA polymerase weakens normal cohesin loop extrusion boundaries, allowing cohesin to form new long-range chromosome cis interactions. Stress response genes activated by transcription inhibition are also shown to act as new loop extrusion boundaries. Furthermore, cohesin loop extrusion during early S-phase is jointly controlled by transcription and replication units. Together, the results reveal that replication and transcription machineries are chromosome folding regulators that block the progression of loop-extruding cohesin, opening for new perspectives on cohesin’s roles in genome function and stability.

Project description:The progression of replication forks (RFs) can be challenged by obstacles of endogenous or exogenous origin. Stalled forks need to be readily stabilized and restarted in order to prevent genomic instability. Replication fork restart requires the recruitment of multiple enzymes and involves different DNA transactions. The MRX (Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2) complex plays a central role in this process. It has been implicated in the nucleolytic degradation of nascent DNA and in the loading of cohesin at stalled forks. However, little is known on how these functions are regulated. Here we show that MRX structural features are predominant on the nuclease activity of Mre11 for DNA resection at stalled replication forks. This results raise the question of the mechanisms by which MRX promotes nascent strand resection. At DNA double strand breaks (DSB) MRX promotes the binding of the chromatin remodeler RSC, from which the activity is required for 5’ end resection. Interestingly, MRX mutants exhibit increased nucleosome occupancy at stalled replication forks. This result suggest that a dynamic chromatin structure promoted by MRX could be required for the processing of stalled replication forks. Strinkingly the absence of two histones modifiers Gcn5 and Set1 recapitulates the phenotype of MRX mutants both on chromatin structure and nascent strand resection at stalled forks even though they are dispensable for its recruitment. Since nucleosomes also represent obstacles for the loading of SMC complexes on DNA, it is coherent that we observed that cohesin is no longer recruited at stalled forks in gcn5 and set1, as in MRX mutants. Together our data suggest that the regulation of chromatin structure at stalled replication forks is essential for their processing and to promote genome stability.

Project description:Topological stress can cause replication forks to stall as they converge upon one another during termination of vertebrate DNA synthesis. However, replication forks ultimately overcome topological stress and complete DNA synthesis, suggesting that alternative mechanisms can overcome topological stress. We performed a proteomic analysis of converging replication forks that were stalled by topological stress induced by loss or inhibition of topoisomerase IIα (TOP2α). Plasmid DNA was replicated in mock- or TOP2α-depleted Xenopus egg extracts as previously described (Heintzman et al. 2019). In parallel, replication was performed in the presence of the TOP2 inhibitor ICRF-193 (‘TOP2-i’) as an alternate means of preventing TOP2 activity (Heintzman et al. 2019). Chromatinized plasmid DNA was recovered 18 minutes after the onset of DNA synthesis, when most forks have normally merged but are stalled when TOP2 activity is prevented (Heintzman et al. 2019). Chromatin-bound proteins were recovered (Larsen et al. 2019) then analyzed by chromatin mass spectrometry and quantified by label free quantification.

Project description:Oncoproteins of the MYC family drive the development of numerous human tumors. In unperturbed cells, MYC proteins bind to virtually all active promoters and control transcription by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII). MYC proteins can also coordinate transcription with DNA replication and promote the repair of transcription-associated DNA damage, but how they exert these mechanistically diverse functions is unknown. Here we show that MYC dissociates from many of its binding sites in active promoters and forms multimeric, often sphere-like structures in response to perturbation of transcription elongation, mRNA splicing or inhibition of the proteasome. Multimerization is accompanied by a global change in the MYC interactome towards proteins involved in transcription termination and RNA processing. MYC multimers accumulate on chromatin immediately adjacent to stalled replication forks and surround FANCD2, ATR and BRCA1 proteins, which are located at stalled forks. MYC multimerization is triggered in a HUWE1 and ubiquitylation-dependent manner. At active promoters, MYC multimers block antisense transcription and stabilize FANCD2 association with chromatin. This limits DNA double-strand break formation during S-phase and allows rapid recovery from replication stress, suggesting that multimerization of MYC enables tumor cells to proliferate under stressful conditions
