MNase-seq analysis of Col-0 and chr11-1 chr17-1

ABSTRACT: Chromatin has a highly organized structure with the repeating nucleosome subunits. The position of nucleosomes on the chromatin is dynamically regulated by ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors (remodelers), therefore providing specific epigenetic information. However, the in vivo nucleosome distribution pattern in plants and how plant remodelers control the pattern formation are not yet clear. Here we use the Micrococcal Nuclease digestion followed by deep sequencing (MNase-seq) assay to show the genome-wide nucleosome pattern in plants and the role of the Arabidopsis thaliana Imitation Switch (AtISWI) subfamily remodelers in the pattern formation. Our data revealed three patterns in wild-type plants: 1) Promoters have a relative low nucleosome density compared with gene bodies; 2) Nucleosome density is negatively associated with gene expression levels; 3) The evenly and periodically spaced nucleosomes in gene bodies are positively associated with gene expression levels. Double mutations in the AtISWI genes CHROMATIN REMODELING 11 (CHR11) and CHR17 resulted in loss of the evenly-spaced-nucleosome pattern in gene bodies, but did not affect nucleosome density, suggesting that the primary role of AtISWI is to slide nucleosomes in gene bodies for promotion of transcription. The overall design of the experiment: (1) Nuclear extraction from Col-0 and chr11-1 chr17-1. (2) MNase treatment. (3) DNA purification. (4) Library construction. (5) Deep sequencing. (6) Data analysis.

Project description:Proper chromatin organization is essential for defining transcription units and maintaining genomic integrity in eukaryotes. Mutations affecting the chromatin structure can lead to increased cryptic transcription and genomic instability. In this study we found that deletion of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Chd1-type chromatin remodelers, hrp1 and hrp3, causes strong, genome-wide accumulation of antisense transcripts, while the amount of coding mRNA transcripts is mostly unaffected. Nucleosome mapping revealed a specific role for Chd1-remodelers in the positioning of nucleosomes in gene coding regions. While the arrangement of nucleosomes in promoter regions was similar to WT, nucleosome organization within coding regions was remarkably irregular in hrp1M-bM-^HM-^Fhrp3M-bM-^HM-^F strain. We extended our analysis to other mutations associated with enhanced cryptic transcription activity, such as set2M-bM-^HM-^F, alp13M-bM-^HM-^F, and FACT complex subunit pob3M-bM-^HM-^F. While nucleosomes were severely depleted in the pob3M-bM-^HM-^F strain, nucleosome positioning was less affected. In sharp contrast, nucleosome organization in the alp13M-bM-^HM-^F and set2M-bM-^HM-^F strains was indistinguishable from WT. These data indicate multiple mechanisms in the repression of cryptic promoter activity in eukaryotic cells. Genome-wide profiling of H3K9/K14 acetylation Genome-wide expression analysis of either Alp13-, Set2-, Hrp3 or Hrp1 and Hrp3-deficient cells Genome-wide expression analysis of either Hrp1, Hrp3, or Hrp1 and Hrp3-deficient cells Nucleosome mapping experiments ChIP for the detection of the genome-wide acetylation profile of H3K9/K14 was performed for a wildtype strain and the deletion strains of Set2, Alp13 and the double knock-out of Hrp1 and Hrp3. Each experiment was performed twice in biological replicates All experiments were performed twice in biological replicates, except for the expression array of set2M-NM-^T. The replicates of hrp3M-NM-^T and hrp1M-NM-^Thrp3M-NM-^T were performed with a slightly different array design All experiments were performed twice in biological replicates. The replicates of hrp3M-NM-^T and hrp1M-NM-^Thrp3M-NM-^T were performed with a slightly different array design MNase treated sample were comparatively hybridized with genomic DNA of corresponding strain, WT, hrp1d hrp3d, pob3d in biological duplicates, set2d, alp13d, mit1d, hrp1d, hrp3d analysis was performed once

Project description:Nucleosomes in all eukaryotes examined to date adopt a characteristic architecture within genes and play fundamental roles in regulating transcription, yet the identity and precise roles of many of the trans-acting factors responsible for the establishment and maintenance of this organization remain to be identified. We profiled a compendium of 50 yeast strains carrying conditional alleles or complete deletions of genes involved in transcriptional regulation, histone biology and chromatin remodeling, as well as compounds that target transcription and histone deacetylases, to assess their respective roles in nucleosome positioning and transcription. We find that nucleosome patterning in genes is affected by many factors including the CAF-1 complex, Spt10 and Spt21, in addition to previously reported remodeler ATPases and histone chaperones. Disruption of these factors or reductions in histone levels led genic nucleosomes to assume positions more consistent with their intrinsic sequence preferences, with pronounced and specific shifts of the +1 nucleosome relative to the transcription start site. These shifts of +1 nucleosomes appear to have functional consequences, as several affected genes in Ino80 mutants exhibited altered expression responses. Our parallel expression profiling compendium revealed extensive transcription changes in intergenic and antisense regions, most of which occur in regions with altered nucleosome occupancy and positioning. We show that the nucleosome-excluding transcription factors Reb1, Abf1, Tbf1, and Rsc3 suppress cryptic transcripts at their target promoters, while a combined analysis of nucleosome and expression profiles identified 36 novel transcripts that are normally repressed by Tup1/Cyc8. Our data confirm and extend the roles of chromatin remodelers and chaperones as major determinants of genic nucleosome positioning and these data provide a valuable resource for future studies. We examined 50 single-gene loss-of-function strains, comprised of gene deletions (del) and temperature-sensitive (ts) or tetracycline promoter-shutoff (tet) alleles. These genes were selected based on their known or potential role in nucleosome biology and include remodeler ATPases and chaperones, histones and histone modifiers, transcription and elongation factors, and components of RNA polymerase I and II. The compendium also includes 4 compounds targeting transcription and histone deacetylases, as well as a histone depletion time course performed with a strain in which H4 gene expression is exclusively under the control of a GAL1 promoter. Genome-wide nucleosome occupancy profiles were generated using Affymetrix Tiling arrays with probes spaced every 4 bp [PMID:16569694], or next-generation sequencing. Identically prepared samples for each strain and treatment were analyzed on the same tiling arrays for strand-specific expression differences. Each compendium condition was compared to a matched wild-type (WT) reference grown in parallel.
