Project description:Condensins are genome organisers that shape chromosomes and promote their accurate transmission. Several studies have also implicated condensins in gene expression, although the mechanisms have remained enigmatic. Here, we report on the role of condensin in gene expression in fission and budding yeasts. In contrast to previous studies, we provide compelling evidence that condensin plays no direct role in the maintenance of the transcriptome, neither during interphase nor during mitosis. We further show that the changes in gene expression in post-mitotic fission yeast cells that result from condensin inactivation are largely a consequence of chromosome missegregation during anaphase, which notably depletes the RNA-exosome from daughter cells. Crucially, preventing karyotype abnormalities in daughter cells restores a normal transcriptome despite condensin inactivation. Thus, chromosome instability, rather than a direct role of condensin in the transcription process, changes gene expression. This knowledge challenges the concept of gene regulation by canonical condensin complexes.

Project description:Genome/chromosome organization is highly ordered and controls nuclear events. Here, we show that the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the Cnd2 kleisin subunit of condensin to mediate interphase and mitotic chromosome organization in fission yeast. TBP recruits condensin onto RNA polymerase III-transcribed (Pol III) genes and highly transcribed Pol II genes; condensin in turn associates these genes with centromeres. Inhibition of the Cnd2-TBP interaction disrupts condensin localization across the genome and the proper assembly of mitotic chromosomes, leading to severe defects in chromosome segregation and eventually causing cellular lethality. We propose that the Cnd2-TBP interaction coordinates transcription with chromosomal architecture by linking dispersed gene loci with centromeres. This chromosome arrangement can contribute to the efficient transmission of physical force at the kinetochore to chromosomal arms, thereby supporting the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Genome-wide distributions of condensin and Pol III factors in fission yeast.

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.

Project description:Yeast chromosome organization is dominated by the SMC complexes cohesin and condensin. Yeast cohesin has a dual function on metaphase chromosomes, holding sister chromatids together and organising individual chromatids into loops. After metaphase, most of the cohesin is cleaved and the condensin complex takes over the main role of organizing chromosomes. Condensin organized chromosomes into larger loops, producing chromosome condensation. How chromosome organization transits from a cohesin centric environment to a condensin centric environment is not well understood. Here we show that there is a crosstalk between cohesin and condensin through the Cdc5 kinase. Cohesin bound Cdc5 is released upon cohesin s Scc1 cleavage. Released Cdc5, in turn, hyperphosphorylates multiple condensin subunits, leading to a fine-tuned condensin activation. Failure in condensin fine-tuning activation leads to condensin impairment and chromosome missegregation.

Project description:The localization of condensin along chromosomes is crucial for their accurate segregation in anaphase. Condensin is enriched at telomeres but how and for what purpose had remained elusive. Here we show that fission yeast condensin accumulates at telomere repeats through the balancing acts of Taz1, a core component of the shelterin complex that ensures telomeric functions, and Mit1, a nucleosome-remodeler associated with shelterin. We further show that condensin takes part in sister-telomere separation in anaphase, and that this event can be uncoupled from the prior separation of chromosomes arms, implying a telomere-specific separation mechanism. Consistent with a cis-acting process, increasing or decreasing condensin occupancy specifically at telomeres modifies accordingly the efficiency of their separation in anaphase. Genetic evidence suggests that condensin promotes sister-telomere separation by counteracting cohesin. Thus, our results reveal a shelterin-based mechanism that enriches condensin at telomeres to drive in cis their separation during mitosis.

Project description:During mitosis, condensin activity is thought to disrupt interphase chromatin structures. Here, we utilize condensin-deficient mitotic chromosomes as a unique architectural platform to further investigate genome folding principles. Upon condensin loss, compartments progressively emerge in mitotic chromosomes. Euchromatin diverges into two different compartments A1 and A2, the former of which shows strong homotypic interactions while the latter exhibit reduced self-aggregation. Constitutive heterochromatin (B1) displays reduced level of compartmentalization and the normally inert facultative heterochromatin (B2) participates to compartmentalize the genome. Dynamically, A1 compartment is established remarkably fast with similarly efficient separation from B1 while reformation of B1 is delayed, implying that A1 self-attraction is the engine to compartmentalizalize the condensin-depleted mitotic chromosomes. Notified by the mitotic compartmentalization of B1 which lacks HP1 binding, we sought to explore the role of HP1 proteins in genome folding and demonstrat that HP1& are dispensible for chromatin structural restoration during cell divison. Our observations unveil delicate patterns and novel principles of genome compartmentalization that are otherwise hidden in interphase cells.
