In differentiated cells, chromosomes are packed inside the cell nucleus in an organised fashion. In contrast, little is known about how chromosomes are packed in undifferentiated cells and how nuclear organization changes during development. To assess changes in nuclear organization during the earliest stages of development, we quantified the mobility of a pair of homologous chromosomal loci in the interphase nuclei of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. The distribution of distances between homologous loci was consistent with a random distribution up to the 8-cell stage but not at later stages. The mobility of the loci was significantly reduced from the 2-cell to the 48-cell stage. Nuclear foci corresponding to epigenetic marks as well as heterochromatin and the nucleolus also appeared around the 8-cell stage. We propose that the earliest global transformation in nuclear organization occurs at the 8-cell stage during C. elegans embryogenesis.

Eukaryotic gene expression is regulated in the context of chromatin. Dynamic changes in post-translational histone modification are thought to play key roles in fundamental cellular functions such as regulation of the cell cycle, development, and differentiation. To elucidate the relationship between histone modifications and cellular functions, it is important to monitor the dynamics of modifications in single living cells. A genetically encoded probe called mintbody (modification-specific intracellular antibody), which is a single-chain variable fragment tagged with a fluorescent protein, has been proposed as a useful visualization tool. However, the efficacy of intracellular expression of antibody fragments has been limited, in part due to different environmental conditions in the cytoplasm compared to the endoplasmic reticulum where secreted proteins such as antibodies are folded. In this study, we have developed a new mintbody specific for histone H4 Lys20 monomethylation (H4K2Ome1). The specificity of the H4K2Ome1-mintbody in living cells was verified using yeast mutants and mammalian cells in which this target modification was diminished. Expression of the H4K20me1-mintbody allowed us to monitor the oscillation of H4K2Ome1 levels during the cell cycle. Moreover, dosage-compensated X chromosomes were visualized using the H4K20me1-mintbody in mouse and nematode cells. Using X-ray crystallography and mutational analyses, we identified critical amino acids that contributed to stabilization and/or proper folding of the mintbody. Taken together, these data provide important implications for future studies aimed at developing functional intracellular antibodies. Specifically, the H4K2Ome1-mintbody provides a powerful tool to track this particular histone modification in living cells and organisms. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

We exposed Schizosaccharomyces pombe to high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HPT) of 75MPa at 28 degrees C for 30min and then observed that the DAPI-stained chromosomal DNA had shrunk compactly. We termed this phenomenon HPT-induced chromosome condensation (HPT-CC). HPT did not significantly decrease viability. The condensed state was released when HPT cells were cultured at 28 degrees C for 30min. The condensation was not caused by shrinking of the nuclear envelope, which was visualized by YFP-tagged importin alpha. RPT-CC was cell cycle independent, because it was observed in almost all randomly cultured cells. The condensin complex (Cut3, Cut14, and three other proteins) is responsible for cell cycle dependent CC. Studies with Cut3-YFP and ts mutants of Cut3 and Cut14 confirmed that HPT-CC was independent of condensin molecules. HPT-CC was also observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HPT-CC appears likely to be a temporal stress response to high hydrostatic pressure found at least in yeasts.

高等生物の新規遺伝子の機能予測を目的としたゲノム塩基配列の相同性解析のための極めて優れたモデル生物である分裂酵母Schizosaccharomyces pombeについて、過剰発現による増殖阻害を指標としたゲノム全体にわたる機能遺伝子の網羅的な探索手法を試みた。チアミンにより制御可能なプロモーターを用て構築された遺伝子過剰発現株169株を用いて、固体培地上における遺伝子過剰発現状態のコロニー形成能を調べた結果、20株がコロニーを全く形成しなかった。次に、この20株について、遺伝子強制発現のシャットオフによる生育回復試験を行った。その結果、20株すべてが正常細胞と同程度に生育を回復した。従って、遺伝子過剰発現状態において全くコロニー形成しなかった20株は、死滅状態ではなく、増殖停止状態の細胞であると考えられた。次に、この20株について、細胞形態および細胞小器官（核、隔壁、アクチン）の形態と局在を調べた結果、種々の形態異常が観察された。このうち4遺伝子の機能については劣性変異株を用いて既に明らかにされている。これらの遺伝子機能は、本研究において遺伝子過剰発現により誘導された表現型から推測可能である。従って、過剰発現株を用いたゲノムワイドな網羅的探索手法は、従来の劣性変異株の表現型解析による機能遺伝子解析の代替手法となり得ると考えられる。実際、劣性変異で解析可能な遺伝子は、細胞増殖に必須とは限らない。以上の結果より、遺伝子過剰発現株を用いた優性遺伝学的な手法は、分裂酵母の機能遺伝子の網羅的探索手法として極めて有用であると考えられた。

SDS-PAGE is a basic method that has long been used for separation of proteins according to their molecular sizes. Despite its simplicity, it provides information on characteristics of proteins beyond their molecular masses because gel mobility of proteins often reflects their physicochemical properties and post-translational modifications. Here we report on a global analysis of gel mobility of the proteome, which we term the "mobilitome," covering 93.4% of the fission yeast proteome. To our surprise, more than 40% of proteins did not migrate to their calculated positions. Statistical analyses revealed that the discrepancy was largely dependent on the hydrophobicity of proteins. This experimental data set, with a high coverage rate of real mobility, made it feasible to identify proteins detected on the gel without using any specialized techniques. This approach enabled us to detect previously unknown post-translational modifications of a protein; for example, we revealed that eIF5A is novel substrate of a Sir2-related deacetylase Hst2. Furthermore, we concomitantly identified twelve acetylated and eight methylated proteins using specific anti-acetylated and anti-methylated lysine antibodies, most of which had not been known to be subject to the modifications. Thus, we propose the general usefulness of the mobilitome and electrophoresis-based methodology for the identification and characterization of proteins detected on the gel.

On the basis of our previous study concerning the effect of high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HPT) on Escherichia coli FtsZ ring (bacterial cytoskeleton) formation, we aimed to determine the effect of HPT on the growth properties of a representative eukaryotic microbe, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in relation to the behavior of genuine cytoskeletons. Microtubules were visualized with GFP-linked alpha-tubulin. Actin-related cytoskeletons were fluorescently stained with rhodamine-phalloidin. We observed growth retardation of about 10 h in post growth after HPT (75 MPa, 30 min, 28 degrees C), which caused only a little loss of viable cells. In accordance with the period of growth retardation, cessation of cytokinesis and disappearance of the contractile ring (composed of actin, myosin II, and other proteins), directly participates in cytokinesis, continued for 18 h after HPT. On the other hand, the microtubules disappeared only for 6 h after HPT. Based on these observations, the contractile ring was the site most sensitive to HPT resulting in the cessation of cytokinesis.

Cloning of the entire set of an organism's protein-coding open reading frames (ORFs), or 'ORFeome', is a means of connecting the genome to downstream 'omics' applications. Here we report a proteome-scale study of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe based on cloning of the ORFeome. Taking advantage of a recombination-based cloning system, we obtained 4,910 ORFs in a form that is readily usable in various analyses. First, we evaluated ORF prediction in the fission yeast genome project by expressing each ORF tagged at the 3' terminus. Next, we determined the localization of 4,431 proteins, corresponding to similar to 90% of the fission yeast proteome, by tagging each ORF with the yellow fluorescent protein. Furthermore, using leptomycin B, an inhibitor of the nuclear export protein Crm1, we identified 285 proteins whose localization is regulated by Crm1.

The small GTPase Rho1 plays an essential role in controlling the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and synthesis of the cell wall in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Here we studied the role of Rho5 whose primary structure is very similar to that of Rho1. It was found that elevated expression of Rho5 was able to compensate for the lethality of cells lacking Rho1. Rho5 was localized to the ends of interphase cells and the mid-region of mitotic cells. Overexpression of Rho5 caused depollarization of F-actin patches and abnormal formation of the cell wall, as did Rho1. Although rho5(+) was not essential for maintaining the cell shape, rho1 rho5-double null cells showed more severe defects in cell viability than rho1-null cells. Thus, it is likely that Rho5 has an overlapping function with Rho1 in controlling cell growth and division in S. pombe. (c) 2005 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.

Longitudinal F- actin cables are thought to be important for transporting materials for polarized cell growth in fission yeast. We show that most F- actin in the cables is oriented such that the barbed end faces the nearest cell tip during interphase; however, this directionality is reversed during mitosis. These orientations of F- actin ensure proper transport of materials to growing sites during these cell- cycle stages.

Background: Rho family small GTPases have been shown to be involved in various cellular activities, including the organization of actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. There are six rho genes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Cdc42 is known to control the polarity of the cell. Rho1, Rho2 and Rho3 play important roles in controlling cell shape and septation. On the other hand, Rho4 and Rho5 have not yet been characterized. Here we report the function of rho4+ in fission yeast. Results: Gene disruption revealed that rho4+ is not essential for cell growth. However, rho4-null cells were abnormally elongated and had multiple septa of irregular shape at 37 °C. In these cells, F-actin patches were randomly localized all over the cell periphery, and cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) were misoriented. On the other hand, the exogenous expression of a constitutively active Rho4-G23V or Rho4-Q74L in wild-type cells induced depolarization of F-actin patches and cytoplasmic MTs. Rho4 was localized to the cell periphery during interphase and septum during mitosis. Both the binding of GTP and isoprenylation of its C-terminus were necessary for the localization. Furthermore, the localization of Rho4 was likely to be controlled by Rho GAP and Rho GDI. Conclusion: Rho4 may control cell morphogenesis and septation by regulating both the actin cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic MTs.

We identified a novel Rho gene rho3(+) and studied its interaction with diaphanous/formin for3(+) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Both rho3 null cells and for3 null cells showed defects in organization of not only actin cytoskeleton but also cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs). rho3 for3 double null cells had defects that were more severe than each single null cell: polarized growth was deficient in the double null cells. Function of For3 needed the highly conserved FH1 and F112 domains, an N-terminal region containing a Rho-binding domain, and the C-terminal region. For3 bound to active forms of both Rho3 and Cdc42 but not to that of Rho1. For3 was localized as dots to the ends of interphase cells and to the mid-region in dividing cells. This localization was probably dependent on its interaction with Rho proteins. Overexpression of For3 produced huge swollen cells containing depolarized F-actin patches and thick cytoplasmic NIT bundles. In addition, overexpression of a constitutively active Rho3Q71L induced a strong defect in cytokinesis. In conclusion, we propose that the Rho3-For3 signaling system functions in the polarized cell growth of fission yeast by controlling both actin cytoskeleton and MTs.

Cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divide by the contraction of the F-actin ring formed at the medial region of the cell. We investigated the process of F-actin ring formation in detail using optical sectioning and three-dimensional reconstruction fluorescence microscopy. In wild-type cells, formation of an aster-like structure composed of F-actin cables and accumulation of F-actin cables were recognized at the medial cortex of the cell during prophase to metaphase. The formation of the aster-like structure seemed to initiate from branching of the longitudinal F-actin cables at a site near the spindle pole bodies, which had been duplicated but not yet separated. A single cable extended from the aster and encircled the cell at the equator to form a primary F-actin ring during metaphase. During anaphase, the accumulated F-actin cables were linked to the primary F-actin ring, and then all of these structures seemed to be packed to form the F-actin ring. These observations suggest that formation of the aster-like structure and the accumulation of the F-actin cables at the medial region of the cell during metaphase may be required to initiate the F-actin ring formation. In the nda3 mutant, which has a mutation in beta-tubulin and has been thought to be arrested at prophase, an F-actin ring with accumulated F-actin cables similar to that of anaphase wild-type cells was formed at a restrictive temperature. Immediately after shifting to a permissive temperature, this structure changed into a tightly packed ring. This suggests that the F-actin ring formation progresses beyond prophase in the nda3 cells once the cells enter prophase. We further examined F-actin structures in both cdc12 and cdc15 early cytokinesis mutants. As a result, Cdc12 seemed to be required for the primary F-actin ring formation during prophase, whereas Cdc15 may be involved in both packing the F-actin cables to form the F-actin ring and rearrangement of the F-actin after anaphase. In spg1, cdc7 and sid2 septum initiation mutants, the F-actin ring seemed to be formed in order.

The acquisition of drug-resistance is a major problem for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. To clarify genetic alterations in cancer cells that develop drug-resistance, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was applied to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (SH-IV1, SH-1V2, SH-1V4 and SH-1V8) and chemoresistance-related genes in altered chromosomal regions were evaluated. These cell lines were derived from the parental SH-1 cell line, after multiple steps of selection by an increasing exposure to vindesine. SH-1V8 cells were strongly resistant to vindesine. DNA copy number at 16p which includes the MRP (multidrug resistance related protein) gene was markedly increased in all cell lines examined. Increased DNA copy numbers were found at the regions of 5q31-32, 10q11.1-23, and 14q32-qter in SH-1V8 cells that acquired resistance to other drugs as well. Both SH-1V4 and SH-1V8 showed increased DNA copy numbers at 7q 11. 1-22, 16q12.1-qter, 19p13.2-13.3, 19q11-13.2 and 20q13.1-qter. The chromosomal region of 7q11.1-22 including MDR-1 (multidrug resistance-1) gene was highly amplified in SH-1V4 and SH-1V8. Amplification of the MRP region suggests the prerequisite of developing resistance to vindesine, and further amplification of MDR-1 may play a critical role in acquiring drug-resistance. Several unknown genes related to the induction of chemoresistance might be concealed in other altered chromosomal regions.

How actin filaments (F-actin) and myosin 11 (myosin) assemble to form the contractile ring was investigated with fission yeast and Xenopus egg. In fission yeast cells, an aster-like structure composed of F-actin cables is formed at the medial cortex of the cell during prophase to metaphase, and a single F-actin cable(s) extends from this structure, which seems to be a structural basis of the contractile ring. In early mitosis, myosin localizes as dots in the medial cortex independently of F-actin. Then they fuse with each other and are packed into a thin contractile ring.
At the growing ends of the cleavage furrow of Xenopus eggs, F-actin at first assembles to form patches. Next they fuse with each other to form short F-actin bundles. The short bundles then form long bundles. Myosin seems to be transported by the cortical movement to the growing end and assembles there as spots earlier than F-actin. Actin polymerization into the patches is likely to occur after accumulation of myosin. The myosin spots and the F-actin patches are simultaneously reorganized to form the contractile ring bundles.
The idea that a Ca signal triggers cleavage furrow formation was tested with Xenopus eggs during the first cleavage. We could not detect any Ca signals such as a Ca wave, Ca puffs or even Ca blips at the growing end of the cleavage furrow. Furthermore, cleavages are not affected by Ca-chelators injected into the eggs at concentrations sufficient to suppress the Ca waves. Thus we conclude that formation of the contractile ring is not induced by a Ca signal at the growing end of the cleavage furrow.

We characterized the novel Schizosaccharomyces pombe genes myo4(+) and myo5(+), both of which encode myosin-V heavy chains. Disruption of myo4 caused a defect in cell growth and led to an abnormal accumulation of secretory vesicles throughout the cytoplasm. The mutant cells were rounder than normal, although the sites for cell polarization were still established. Elongation of the cell ends and completion of septation required more time than in wild-type cells, indicating that Myo4 functions in polarized growth both at the cell ends and during septation. Consistent with this conclusion, Myo4 was localized around the growing cell ends, the medial F-actin ring, and the septum as a cluster of dot structures. In living cells, the dots of green fluorescent protein-tagged Myo4 moved rapidly around these regions. The localization and movement of Myo4 were dependent on both F-actin cables and its motor activity but seemed to be independent of microtubules. Moreover, the motor activity of Myo4 was essential for its function. These results suggest that Myo4 is involved in polarized cell growth by moving with a secretory vesicle along the F-actin cables around the sites for polarization. In contrast, the phenotype of myo5 null cells was indistinguishable from that of wild-type cells. This and other data suggest that Myo5 has a role distinct from that of Myo4.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe rho1(+) and rho2(+) genes are involved in the control of cell morphogenesis, cell integrity, and polarization of the actin cytoskeleton. Although both GTPases interact with each of the two S. pombe protein kinase C homologues, Pck1p and Pck2p, their functions are distinct from each other. It is known that Rho1p regulates (1,3)beta -D-glucan synthesis both directly and through Pck2p. In this paper, we have investigated Rho2p signaling and show that pck2 Delta and rho2 Delta strains display similar defects with regard to cell wall integrity, indicating that they might be in the same signaling pathway. We also show that Rho2 GTPase regulates the synthesis of alpha -D-glucan, the other main structural polymer of the S. pombe cell wall, primarily through Pck2p. Although overexpression of rho2(+) in wild-type or pck1 Delta cells is lethal and causes morphological alterations, actin depolarization, and an increase in alpha -D-glucan biosynthesis, all of these effects are suppressed in a pck2 Delta strain. In addition, genetic interactions suggest that Rho2p and Pck2p are important for the regulation of Mok1p, the major (la)alpha -D-glucan synthase. Thus, a rho2 Delta mutation, like pck2 Delta, is synthetically lethal with mok1-664, and the mutant partially fails to localize Mok1p to the growing areas. Moreover, overexpression of mok1(+) in rho2 Delta cells causes a lethal phenotype that is completely different from that of mok1(+) overexpression in wild-type cells, and the increase in alpha -glucan is considerably lower. Taken together, all of these results indicate the presence of a signaling pathway regulating alpha -glucan biosynthesis in which the Rho2p GTPase activates Pck2p, and this kinase in turn controls Mok1(+).

Background: Elongation factor lo (EF1 alpha), an essential component of the eukaryotic translational machinery, has been shown to possess various biochemical and biological activities, including F-actin-binding and -bundling, microtubule-severing, and the activity of making fibroblasts highly susceptible to transformation. However, our understanding of the biological significance of EF1 alpha with respect to these various biochemical or biological activities remains Limited. Here we report the identification of EF1 alpha-encoding genes as genes whose over-expression causes aberrant cell morphology in fission yeast.
Results: Overproduction of EF1 alpha caused aberrant cell morphology-elliptic, curved or branched-and growth defects in yeast cells at high temperatures. EF1 alpha-overproducing cells showed a supersensitivity to the actin inhibitor cytochalasin D and to the tubulin inhibitor thiabendazole. Genetic analyses using cdc mutants suggested that excess EF1 alpha disturbed the establishment and the maintenance of growth polarity in the G1 phase by preventing the localization of F-actin to the polarized growing site and the organization of microtubules. Results from DNase I column chromatography indicated that EF1 alpha was bound to G-actin. Indeed, the fission yeast actin was immunoprecipitated along with EF1 alpha. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity caused by the overproduction of EF1 alpha was restored by co-overproduction of actin.
Conclusions: Fission yeast EF1 alpha has the ability to alter the cell morphology of yeast by affecting the control of actin and microtubule cytoskeletons.

We investigated subcellular localizations and interactions of actin and two actin cytoskeleton-related proteins, Cdc8 tropomyosin and actin-related protein 3, Arp3, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using specific antibodies and by gene disruption. Actin was localized to the medial microfilamentous ring in the region of the septum during cytokinesis and to cortical patches by immunoelectron microscopy. F-actin cables were detected throughout the cell cycle by fluorescent staining with Bodipy-phallacidin. Cables were often linked to the patches and to the medial ring during its formation. Tropomyosin was localized to the medial ring and the cables. It was also distributed in the cell as patches, although co-localization with F-actin was not frequent. In cdc8(ts) mutant cells, F-actin cables were not observed although the F-actin patches were detected and cell polarity was maintained. These observations suggest that the F-actin cables may be involved in the formation of the medial ring, and that tropomyosin plays an important role in organizing both the ring and the cable, but is not involved in the F-actin patch formation or maintenance of cell polarity.
Binding of Arp3 to actin was revealed by immunoprecipitation as well as by DNase I column chromatography. Arp3 seemed to form a complex with several proteins in the cell extracts, as previously reported for other organisms. Contrary to a previous report (McCollum et al., EMBO J. 15, 6438-6446, 1996), Arp3 was found to be concentrated in the medial region from early anaphase to late cytokinesis. Following arp3 gene disruption, F-actin patches were delocalized throughout the cell and cells did not undergo polarized growth, suggesting that Arp3 influences the proper localization of the actin patches in the cell and thereby controls the polarized growth of the cell.

Background: The small GTP-binding protein Rho has been shown to regulate the formation of the actin cytoskeleton in animal cells. We have previously isolated two rho genes, rho1(+) and rho2(+), from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe in order to investigate the function of Rho using genetic techniques. In this paper, we report the cellular function of Rho1.
Results: We found that Rho1 is essential for cell viability and cell polarity using gene disruption and by exogenous expression of botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase. In cells expressing either a constitutively active Rho1 or a dominant-negative Rho1, actin patches were delocalized. Both the cell wall and secondary septum were thick and stratified in cells expressing the constitutively active Rho1, while the cell wall of cells expressing the dominant-negative Rho1 seemed to be loosely organized. Furthermore, inactivation of Rho1 is apparently required for the separation of daughter cells. Cell fractionation studies suggested that Rho1 is predominantly membrane-bound. Moreover, we observed that Rho1 is localized to the cell periphery and to the septum.
Conclusions: Rho1 is involved in actin patch localization, the control of cell polarity, the regulation of septation, and cell wall synthesis.
