Profiling a single-stranded DNA region within an rDNA segment that is a loading site for bacterial condensin

Bacterial condensin preferentially loads to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in vitro and loads onto rDNA in vivo to support proper chromosome compaction. Thus, the actively transcribing rDNA would provide the ssDNA region for the topological loading of bacterial condensin. We attempted to detect the ssDNA region in the rrnI gene in situ. Non-denaturing sodium bisulfite treatment catalyzed the conversion of cytosines to thymines via uracils (CT-conversion) at locally melted DNA of a bacterial genome. Using next-generation sequencing, we generated an average of 11,000 reads covering each cytosine on the PCR-amplified rDNA segment to obtain the actual CT-conversion rate. In principle, the CT-conversion rate is an accurate guide to detect the formation of the ssDNA segment. We expected that an increment of the CT-conversion rate would reflect a trend toward ssDNA accumulation at a given site within the rDNA. We detected multiple ssDNA segments throughout the rDNA. The deletion mutations of the rDNA that affect the bacterial-condensin loading hindered the ssDNA formation only at the 100-500 bp segment downstream of the promoter. These data support the idea that the ssDNA segment plays a crucial role as the bacterial condensin-loading site and suggest the mechanism of condensin loading onto rDNA.
