    Chromatin Dynamics in the Fission Yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, spatial organization and dynamics of the genome is important in the regulation of gene expression. This thesis describes the use of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, to study chromatin regulation and dynamics. We used nitrogen starvation to induce transcription of genes in fission yeast cells. In induced genes, nucleosomes get evicted in both the promoter and in the open reading frame (ORF). In the genes with the highest expression more nucleosomes get evicted from the ORF than from the promoter. This indicates that large rearrangements of the chromatin are occurring during a drastic gene induction. Many of the genes that become expressed early after nitrogen starvation are located together in clusters. In a cell where nitrogen is present in the surrounding media the gene clusters locate close to the nuclear periphery. When the nitrogen source is removed from the media, the clusters move to a more internal position. Thus rearrangement of chromatin due to gene induction, described in the first study, is accompanied by subnuclear changes of localization. Another type of regulation is the silencing of genes. We have studied a factor necessary for correct repression of genes located in silent chromatin, in S. pombe. The protein, Clr2, is part of the SHREC complex containing a remodeler (Mit1) and a histone deacetylase (Clr3). By bioinformatic analysis of Clr2 and newly sequenced fungi genomes, three motifs were identified. To gather more information about important parts of the Clr2 protein, deletions were made. When removing from about 20 to 100 amino acids in the middle of the protein, silencing of a reporter gene inserted at the mating-type region, inner repeats of centromere 1 and at the central core of centromere 2, failed. This indicates that Clr2 has an important role in establishing silent chromatin

    Microtoponyms in Late 17th Century Maps of Vidzeme: The Case of Sāviena (Sawensee) and Aburti (Lüggen) Estates

    Get PDF
    Vidzeme, one of the cultural and historical regions of Latvia, became a part of the kingdom of Sweden during the 17th century. Subsequently, Swedish cartographers mapped the estates of Vidzeme and then compiled maps of larger territories then called castle districts. The present research inspects 11 of these late 17th century maps and analyzes the microtoponyms found there. For an illustration, the maps of Sāviena (Sawensee) and Aburti (Lüggen) estates are chosen. This paper consider as microtoponyms not only the names of meadows, forests, swamps and hills, but also some hydronyms denoting smaller rivers and lakes that had not yet been academically analyzed, in total names of 26 objects. The majority of these microtoponyms denote what was then called streijgabali – remote parts of agricultural land that belonged to a central property but did not have a direct border with it. These maps depict some no longer existing lakes and swamps (e.g. Linn Siöö, Linne Purwe, Werdig purw), contain some almost unintelligible names of forests no longer known (e.g. Ewaete Sille), and testify about the ancient status of some place names (e.g. Pillis Kalln). The remote parts of land properties are often defined in map legends in Swedish as buskland i bruk, i.e. woodlands and scrublands. In most cases the names of these properties contain the generic element gabals ‘piece’. These placenames are often related to objects in the area. Four of them – Kanger, Pargull, Pasʃele and Saulleskaln – became farmhouse names during the following centuries. The number of these placenames is not sufficient to reconstruct the linguistic landscape of the 17th century estates. Nevertheless, they give an insight into the concepts of centre and periphery of that time and their denominations, into the perception of reference points of a landscape, and into the creative mind of the 17th century people

    Silencing Motifs in the Clr2 Protein from Fission Yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    No full text
    The fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is a well-established model for heterochromatin formation, but the exact sequence of events for initiation remains to be elucidated. The essential factors involved include RNA transcribed from repeated sequences together with the methyltransferase Clr4. In addition, histone deacetylases, like Clr3, found in the SHREC complex are also necessary for transcriptional silencing. Clr2 is another crucial factor required for heterochromatin formation found in the SHREC complex. The function of Clr2 has been difficult to establish due to the lack of conserved domains or homology to proteins of known molecular function. Using a bioinformatics approach, three conserved motifs in Clr2 were identified, which contained amino acids important for transcriptional repression. Analysis of clr2 mutant strains revealed a major role for Clr2 in mating-type and rDNA silencing, and weaker effects on centromeric silencing. The effect on mating-type silencing showed variegation in several of the strains with mutated versions of Clr2 indicating an establishment or maintenance defect. Moreover, the critical amino acids in Clr2 were also necessary for transcriptional repression in a minimal system, by the tethering of Clr4 upstream of a reporter gene, inserted into the euchromatic part of the genome. Finally, in silico modeling suggested that the mutations in Clr2 cause disruption of secondary structures in the Clr2 protein. Identification of these critical amino acids in the protein provides a useful tool to explore the molecular mechanism behind the role of Clr2 in heterochromatin formation
