Project description:4C procedure was used for analysis of genomic contacts of rDNA units in HEK 293T cells. The primers for 4C were selected inside IGS. Our data indicate that mostly rDNA units exhibit close proximity with pericentromeric regions in different chromosomes. We also detected the contacts within a rDNA unit and between rDNA units. Examination of rDNA genome-wide contacts in HEK 293T cells using 4C approach.

Project description:Transcription of the several hundred of mouse and human Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes accounts for the majority of RNA synthesis in the cell nucleus and is the determinant of cytoplasmic ribosome abundance, a key factor in regulating gene expression. The rRNA genes, referred to globally as the rDNA, are clustered as direct repeats at the Nucleolar Organiser Regions, NORs, of several chromosomes, and in many cells the active repeats are transcribed at near saturation levels. The rDNA is also a hotspot of recombination and chromosome breakage, and hence understanding its control has broad importance. Despite the need for a high level of rDNA transcription, typically only a fraction of the rDNA is transcriptionally active, and some NORs are permanently silenced by CpG methylation. Various chromatin-remodelling complexes have been implicated in counteracting silencing to maintain rDNA activity. However, the chromatin structure of the active rDNA fraction is still far from clear. Here we have combined a high-resolution ChIP-Seq protocol with conditional inactivation of key basal factors to better understand what determines active rDNA chromatin. The data resolve questions concerning the interdependence of the basal transcription factors, show that preinitiation complex formation is driven by the architectural factor UBF (UBTF) independently of transcription, and exclude a significant role for termination by a torpedomechanism. They further reveal the existence of an asymmetric Boundary Complex formed by CTCF, Cohesin and three phased nucleosomes lying adjacent to the rDNA Enhancer and an arrested RNA Polymerase I complex. We find that this complex is the only site of active histone modification in the whole 45kbp rDNA repeat. Strikingly, the Enhancer Boundary Complex not only delimits each functional rRNA gene, but also is stably maintained after gene inactivation and the re-establishment of surrounding repressive chromatin. Our data define the poised state of rDNA chromatin and place the Enhancer Boundary Complex as the likely entry point for the chromatin remodelling complexes.

Project description:Transcription of the >200 rRNA genes (rDNA) by RNA Polymerase I (RPI) determines as much as 35% of total nuclear RNA synthesis and is a major determinant of cell growth implicated in a range of hypertrophic and developmental disorders. Activation of the rDNA involves the formation of an extended nucleosome free region (NFR) by the multi-HMGbox factor UBTF, which is also implicated with the RPI specific TBP-TAFI factor SL1 in preinitiation complex formation. However, neither factor alone displays significant DNA sequence binding specificity. Here we show that in cell cooperation between SL1 and the UBTF1 splice variant creates the sequence specificity required for promoter recognition. While both UBTF1 and UBTF2 splice variants bind throughout the rDNA NFR, only UBTF1 binds at the rDNA promoters. Conditional deletion of the Taf1b subunit of SL1 depleted UBTF1 from the rDNA promoters but not from elsewhere across the rDNA NFR. We show RPI promoters are particularly poor binding sites for UBTF and suggest an induced-fit model in which promoter-specific remodelling by UBTF1 creates high affinity sites for SL1 binding. A mouse model of the UBTF-E210K pediatric neurodegeneration syndrome suggests this mutation affects cooperativity of UBTF-SL1 promoter recruitment and further supports the induced-fit model.

Project description:Ribosome is the most abundant RNA-protein complex in a cell and many copies of the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) have to be maintained. However, arrays of tandemly repeated rDNA genes can lose the copies by intra-repeat recombination. Loss of the rDNA copies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is counteracted by gene amplification whereby the number of rDNA repeats stabilizes around 150 copies, suggesting the presence of a monitoring mechanism that counts and adjusts the number. Here, we report that in response to rDNA copy loss, the upstream activating factor (UAF) for RNA polymerase I which transcribes the rDNA is released and directly bind to a RNA polymerase II transcribed gene, SIR2 to repress, whose gene products silence rDNA recombination. We show that the amount of UAF determines rDNA copies number that is stably maintained. UAF ensures rDNA production not only by rDNA transcription activation but also by its copy number maintenance.

Project description:Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is organized as large arrays of tandem repeats that vary in copy number from a few dozen to hundreds. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, each rDNA repeat includes a potential origin of replication. Previous work has led to the model that the rDNA replication origins compete for limiting replication initiation factors with origins in the rest of the genome, suggesting that reduction in rDNA copy number would reduce competition for these limiting factors and therefore promote origin usage in the rest of the genome. To test this hypothesis, we compared genome-wide replication in strains with either wild type rDNA copy number of ~180 (“180 rDNA”) or just ~35 copies (“35 rDNA”) by performing dense-to-light isotope transfer experiments to physically separate replicated, hybrid-density (HL or heavy-light) DNA from unreplicated, HH (heavy-heavy) DNA in cell samples collected at different times in S phase. Contrary to our expectations, we find that although there are no apparent differences in non-rDNA origin activity between the two strains, the 35 rDNA strain shows a genome-wide delay in progression through S phase compared to the 180 rDNA strain.

Project description:To sustain growth, budding yeast actively transcribes its ribosomal gene array (rDNA) in the nucoleolus to produce ribosomes and proteins. However, intense transcription during rDNA replication may provoke collisions between RNA polymerase I (Pol I) and the replisome, may cause replication fork instability, double-strand breaks, local recombinations and rDNA instability. The latter is manifested by rDNA array expansion or reduction and the formation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles, anomalies that accelerate aging in yeast. Transcription also interferes with the resolution, condensation and segregation of the sister chromatid rDNA arrays. As a consequence, rDNA segregation lags behind the rest of the yeast genome and occurs in late anaphase when rDNA transcription is temporarily shut off. How yeast promotes the stability and transmission of its rDNA array while satisfying a constant need for ribosomes remains unclear. Here we show that the downregulation of Pol I by the conserved cell cycle kinase Rio1 spatiotemporally coordinates rDNA transcription, replication and segregation. More specifically, Rio1 activity promotes copy-number stability of the replicating rDNA array by curtailing Pol I activity and by localising the histone deacetylase Sir2, which establishes a heterochromatic state that silences rDNA transcription. At anaphase entry, Rio1 and the Cdc14 phosphatase target Pol I subunit Rpa43 to dissociate Pol I from the 35S rDNA promoter. The rDNA locus then condensates and segregates, thereby concluding the genome transmission process. Rio1 is involved in ribosome maturation in the cytoplasm of budding yeast and human cells. Additional engagements in the cytoplasm or roles in the nucleus are unknown. Our study describes its first nuclear engagement as a Pol I silencing kinase. This activity may prove highly relevant as dysregulated RNA polymerase I activity has been associated with cancer initiation and proliferation.
