抗原变异使布氏锥虫能够通过切换约15个端粒变异表面糖蛋白(VSG)表达位点(ESs)中的1个的表达来逃避宿主免疫反应。VSG ES转录由RNA聚合酶I在一个名为ES小体(ESB)的离散核位点介导。然而,对于单等位基因VSG ES转录状态如何在世代间维持,人们一无所知。在这项研究中,我们表明在S期和G2期以及有丝分裂早期,活跃的VSG ES基因座仍然与单个ESB相关联,并且相对于对照基因座,姐妹染色单体的分离出现延迟。这种延迟依赖于黏连蛋白复合物,因为黏连蛋白亚基的部分敲低导致活跃的VSG ES的姐妹染色单体过早分离。黏连蛋白的缺失也促使转录从活跃的VSG ES切换到先前不活跃的VSG ES。因此,除了在有丝分裂期间维持姐妹染色单体的黏连外,黏连蛋白复合物在活跃转录的VSG ES状态的正确表观遗传遗传中起着至关重要的作用。
Antigenic variation allows Trypanosoma brucei to evade the host immune response by switching the expression of 1 out of ∼15 telomeric variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) expression sites (ESs). VSG ES transcription is mediated by RNA polymerase I in a discrete nuclear site named the ES body (ESB). However, nothing is known about how the monoallelic VSG ES transcriptional state is maintained over generations. In this study, we show that during S and G2 phases and early mitosis, the active VSG ES locus remains associated with the single ESB and exhibits a delay in the separation of sister chromatids relative to control loci. This delay is dependent on the cohesin complex, as partial knockdown of cohesin subunits resulted in premature separation of sister chromatids of the active VSG ES. Cohesin depletion also prompted transcriptional switching from the active to previously inactive VSG ESs. Thus, in addition to maintaining sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis, the cohesin complex plays an essential role in the correct epigenetic inheritance of the active transcriptional VSG ES state.
