Inactive or moderately active human promoters are enriched for inter-individual epialleles [Seq]

ABSTRACT: We first demonstrate that non-genetically determined inter-individual differentially methylated regions (iiDMRs) can be temporally stable for at least two years. Then, we show that iiDMRS are associated with concomitant changes in chromatin state as measured by inter-individual differences in the levels of the histone variant H2A.Z. However, the correlation of promoter iiDMRs with gene expression is negligible and this correlation is not improved even by integrating H2A.Z information. We find that most promoter epialleles, whether genetically or non-genetically determined, are associated with low levels of transcriptional activity, depleted for house keeping genes, and either depleted for H3K4me3/enriched for H3K27me3, or lacking both these marks in human embryonic stem cells. These findings validate in an independent cohort. Interestingly, the key features of iiDMRs are reminiscent of those previously observed for promoters that undergo hyper-methylation in various cancers, in vitro cell culture, and human chronological ageing. H2A.z ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and DNA methylation data (submitted separately) were collected for five normal individuals. T21/T22 and T31/T32 are monozygotic twins.

DNA Methylation, H2A.z ChIP-seq, RNA-seq (submitted) separately were collected for five normal individuals (samples with "T" prefixes). T21/T22 and T31/T32 are monozygotic twins. Further DNA methylation data was collected from and additional two pairs of MZ twins with technical replication (samples with "C" prefixes - the three digits are pair number, individual number, and replicate number). Bisulphite converted DNA was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Histone variant H2A.Bbd is associated with active transcription and mRNA processing in human cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Variation in chromatin composition and organization often reflects differences in genome function. Histone variants, for example, replace canonical histones to contribute to regulation of numerous nuclear processes including transcription, DNA repair and chromosome segregation. Here we focus on H2A.Bbd, a rapidly evolving variant found in mammals but not in invertebrates. We report that in human cells, nucleosomes bearing H2A.Bbd form unconventional chromatin structures enriched within actively transcribed genes and characterized by shorter DNA protection and nucleosome spacing. Analysis of transcriptional profiles from cells depleted for H2A.Bbd demonstrated widespread changes in gene expression with a net down-regulation of transcription and disruption of normal mRNA splicing patterns. In particular, we observed changes in exon inclusion rates and increased presence of intronic sequences in mRNA products upon H2A.Bbd depletion. Taken together, our results indicate that H2A.Bbd is involved in formation of a specific chromatin structure that facilitates both transcription and initial mRNA processing. RNA-seq was used to examine changes in gene expression upon shRNA-assisted depletion of H2A.Bbd and H2A.Z histone variants in HeLa cells. The cells treated with shRNA with no homology to the human genome were used as control.

Genomic maps of homotypic H2Av, heterotypic H2Av, input and 80mM salt soluble chromatin from Drosophila S2 cells

Project description:Nucleosomes that contain the histone variant H2A.Z are enriched around transcriptional start sites in many organisms. A single octameric nucleosome can contain two H2A.Z histones (homotypic) or one H2A.Z and one canonical H2A (heterotype). We generated high-resolution maps of homotypic and heterotypic Drosophila H2A.Z (H2Av) nucleosomes. Although homotypic and heterotypic H2Av nucleosomes map throughout most of the genome, homotypic nucleosomes are enriched and heterotypic nucleosomes are depleted downstream of active promoters and intron/exon boundaries. The distribution of homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes resembles that of salt-soluble nucleosomes and shows evidence of displacement during transcriptional elongation. Homotypic nucleosomes are also depleted downstream of paused polymerases, where salt-soluble nucleosomes are conspicuously depleted. Our results suggest a model whereby H2A.Z enrichment patterns result from different structural interactions within the core of heterotypic and homotypic nucleosomes following disruption during transcriptional elongation. We analyzed two replicates for input, heterotypic and homotypic purifications. We sequenced one library for each of the single H2Av pulldown and 80mM salt soluble samples.

Anp32e is a histone chaperone that removes H2A.Z from chromatin

Project description:We report a genome wide enrichment, redistribution and accumulation of H2A.Z at specific chromatin control regions, in particular at enhancers and insulators, in mouse embryonic fibroblasts depleted for Anp32e (MEFs Anp32e-/-). H2A.Z ChIP-seq in MEFs WT (+/+) or KO (-/-) for Anp32e.

H2A.Z Facilitates Access of Active and Repressive Complexes to Chromatin in Embryonic Stem Cell Self-renewal and Differentiation

Project description:Chromatin modifications have been implicated in the self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the function of histone variant H2A.Z in ESCs remains unclear. We show that H2A.Z is highly enriched at promoters and enhancers and is required for both efficient self-renewal and differentiation of murine ESCs. H2A.Z deposition leads to an abnormal nucleosome structure, decreased nucleosome occupancy and increased chromatin accessibility. In self-renewing ESCs, knockdown of H2A.Z compromises OCT4 binding to its target genes and leads to decreased binding of MLL complexes to active genes and of PRC2 complex to repressed genes in self-renewal of ESCs. During differentiation of ESCs, inhibition of H2A.Z also compromises RA-induced RARα binding, activation of differentiation markers and the repression of pluripotency genes. We propose that H2A.Z mediates such contrasting activities by acting as a 'general facilitator' that generates access for a variety of complexes both activating and repressive. ChIP-Seq in murine embryonic stem (mES) cells for H2A.Z and acetylated H2A.Z. ChIP-Seq of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, RbBP5, SUZ12 and OCT4 for mES cells of both H2A.Z RNAi knockdown and shLuc control. ChIP-Seq of RARalpha in H2A.Z knockdown (withdraw of LIF and exposure to RA for 3h) and control cells. MNase-Seq and chromatin accessibility assay using Benzonase digestion followed by next-generation sequencing for mES cells of both H2A.Z RNAi knockdown and shLuc control. ChIP-Seq of H2A.Z and H3K4me3 for mES cells of both MLL4 RNAi knockdown and shLuc control. RNA-Seq for mES cells of H2A.Z knockdown and shluc control. RNA-Seq for embryonic bodies derived from mES cells (H2A.Z knockdown and shLuc control) at day 3 and day 7.

Global changes in the nuclear positioning of chromatin domains and genomic interactions that orchestrate B cell fate

Project description:The genome is folded into domains that are located in either transcriptionally inert or permissive compartments. Here we used genome-wide strategies to characterize domains during B cell development. Structured Interaction Matrix Analysis revealed that CTCF occupancy was primarily associated with intra-domain interactions, whereas p300, E2A, Pax5 and PU.1 were involved with intra- and inter-domain interactions that are developmentally regulated. We identified a spectrum of genes that switched nuclear location during early B cell development. In progenitors the transcriptionally inactive Ebf1 locus was sequestered at the nuclear lamina, thereby preserving multipotency, however upon development into the pro-B cell stage Ebf1 and other genes switched compartments to establish de novo intra- and inter-domain interactions that were associated with B lineage specific transcription signatures. Performed Hi-C, GRO-seq, and ChIP-seq to pinpoint the underlying molecular mechanisms that link transcriptional regulation to genomic structure and architecture in lymphocyte development

ncRNA termination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Nuclear depletion of the essential transcription termination factor Nrd1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied using a combination of RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq of Pol II and PAR-CLIP of Nrd1. The drug rapamycin induces the formation of a ternary complex between a protein of interest, the drug and the small subunit of the ribosome (both proteins are genetically engineered). The small ribosome subunit is transported out of the nucleus. therefore the protein of interest can be depleted from nucleus upon treatment with rapamycin.
