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.

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.

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.

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-mediated remodeling of the mitotic chromatin landscape in fission yeast

Project description:Chromatin fibres dynamically change their organisation during cell cycle. In interphase nucleus, chromatin fibres are evenly distributed whereas their spatial occupancy are reorganised to form condensed chromosomes in mitosis. This process called chromosome condensation is necessary for an accomplishment of faithful chromosome segregation. One of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes complexes, Condensin, is indispensable for chromosome condensation. It remains, however, unknown how Condensin plays its role in shaping mitotic chromosome. Here we show that chromatin fibres change their interacting partners; short-range contacts in interphase nucleus are converted into long-range interactions to shape condensed chromosomes. This conversion of interactions among chromatin fibres results in the formation of larger domains within mitotic chromosomes. Condensin is solely in charge of the conversion and large domain formation in fission yeast mitosis. Our results show how fission yeast Condensin is involved in shaping mitotic chromosomes.

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.
