Determine the repertoire of chromosome movement in segregation, repair and recombination Identify forces responsible for chromosome movement Is chromosome movement integral for DNA repair? What is the cellular response, including chromosome reorganization to DNA damage?

Centromeres separate prior to the chromosome arms Rate of separation of chromosome arms exceeds rate of centromere separation Mechanisms of cohesion and separation are likely to differ along the chromatin fiber Centromeres on the same chromatid attach to opposite poles: Chromosome Breakage Centromeres on the same chromatid attach to same poles: NO Chromosome Breakage Chromosome rearrangements visualized in time course from galactose to glucose Gal Glu Gal Glu 1100bp 865bp RAD+ Repair mutant rad52- or rad1- Single strand excision Repair via Single strand annealing Revealed by 1100 bp repair product Activate Dicentric Chromosome Does mid-anaphase delay precede break ? or mid-anaphase delay follows break Mid-anaphase pause is dependent upon RAD9 checkpoint gene Mid-anaphase pause is not dependent upon the spindle assembly checkpoint genes, MAD2 or BUB1 RAD9 recognizes DNA damage and/or chromatin alterations Does RAD9 “mobilize” chromosomes/repair machinery in response to DNA damage Viability % 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 ka r9 p3 ki dy ne in u7 0 yk ra d1 ra d5 2 ra d9 W ild ty pe Viability % Viability of cells upon activation of the dicentric chromosome Repair mutants (rad1, rad52 and Yku70), rad9 checkpoint and mt based motility mutants (dynein, kip3, kar9) The mid-anaphase pause is “longer” in the absence of cytoplasmic dynein or kip3 Cytoplasmic microtubule-based motor proteins contribute to the fidelity of chromosome repair Mt based motor proteins effect the DNA damage response How do “repair mutants” effect chromosome organization Ku- Non-homologous end-joining Physiological functions of Ku • Ku70, Ku80 knockouts in mice have similar phenotype to SCID – V(D)J defects arrest lymphocyte development • Ku70, Ku80 -/- mice are runts compared to +/littermates – Number of cell divisions in development limited by impaired ability to repair endogenously generated DNA damage – Ku-deficient cells might take longer to repair this damage • Ku80 -/- dams fail to nurture their pups Yeast Ku in telomere maintenance • Disruption of yKu70p and yKu80p genes affect telomeric silencing, telomere length maintenance and viability of cells containing dicentric chromosomes – inactivate Ku, lose telomeric silencing – inactivate Ku, shorten telomeres – inactivate Ku, decrease viability of cells containing dicentric plasmids • Ku clusters yeast telomeres to peripheral sites in nucleus – In diploids, telomeres usually found in 6-7 clusters around nuclear periphery – In Ku subunit mutants, more clusters in random locations Featherstone, C., and Jackson, S.
