Project description:Spt6 is a highly conserved histone chaperone that interacts directly with both RNA polymerase II and histones to regulate gene expression. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for this critical factor, we have performed genome-wide analyses of transcription, chromatin structure, and histone modifications in an S. pombe spt6 mutant. Our results demonstrate several dramatic changes to transcription and chromatin structure in the spt6 mutant, including an elevation of antisense transcripts at over 70 percent of all genes and general loss of the +1 nucleosome. Furthermore, Spt6 is required for the trimethylation of histone H3 on lysines 4 and 36, marks associated with active transcription. Taken together, our results indicate that Spt6 is critical for the accuracy of transcription and the integrity of chromatin, likely via its direct interactions with RNA polymerase II and histones. MNase-seq experiments were performed on wild type and spt6-1 strains in replicate at two different MNase concentrations

Project description:DSBs were mapped genome-wide by ssDNA enrichment in cdc6-mn replication comprimsied strains. We mapped DSB sites by detecting DSB-associated ssDNA enrichment on microarrays. To test the role of DNA replication in DSB formation, we mapped ssDNA in a cdc6-mn replication depleted strain. ssDNA was isolated from cells after 5 hours in sporulation medium. As a reference, ssDNA isolated from cells at 0 hrs in sporulation medium prior to DSB formation was differentially labeled and co-hybridized to the same array. For each experiment, we have submitted biological replicates that were hybridized to separate arrays. For each experiment a dye swap was performed and shown to have no effect on the data observed, although not all experiments in this series include the dye swap sample (we have included only two representative experiments for each strain).

Project description:The chromatin architecture of eukaryotic gene promoters is generally characterized by a nucleosome-free region (NFR) flanked by at least one H2A.Z variant nucleosome. Computational predictions of nucleosome positions based on thermodynamic properties of DNA-histone interactions have met with limited success. Here we show that the action of the essential RSC remodeling complex in S. cerevisiae helps explain the discrepancy between theory and experiment. In RSC-depleted cells, NFRs shrink such that the average positions of flanking nucleosomes move toward predicted sites. Nucleosome positioning at distinct subsets of promoters additionally requires the essential Myb family proteins Abf1 and Reb1, whose binding sites are enriched in NFRs. In contrast, H2A.Z deposition is dispensable for nucleosome positioning. By regulating H2A.Z deposition using a steroid-inducible protein splicing strategy, we show that NFR establishment is necessary for H2A.Z deposition. These studies suggest an ordered pathway for the assembly of promoter chromatin architecture. Nucleosome positions were mapped in a variety of strains under a variety of conditions to determine how several proteins are involved in nucleosome positioning. All replicates are biological replicates. Each set of replicates is balanced in terms of Cy3:Cy5 such that there are equal numbers of Cy3:Cy5 and Cy5:Cy3 arrays (format: mononucleosomal DNA:reference DNA). Changes in gene expression in a strain carrying either the Sth1-degron or Abf1-Reb1-degron under degron-inducing conditions were profiled by hybridizing labeled cDNA derived from the degron strain against labeled cDNA derived from a control strain lacking the degron, but grown under the same conditions. Four biological replicates for each experiment were done using a balanced dye-swap design.

Project description:We determined nucleosome positions throughout the genome in diploid S. cerevisiae undergoing early stages of synchronous meiosis. This study sought to assess if systematic reorganization of nucleosomes occurs during meiotic prophase at or near sites of DNA double strand break formation. Six samples were sequenced, each a separate time point from either of two meiotic time courses. Dataset N1 consists of samples collected at 0, 1, 2, and 3 hr in meiosis; Dataset N2 consists of samples collected at 0 and 4 hr. Time courses, sample preparation, and sequencing were carried out in separate laboratories for the two datasets: Hochwagen lab (Whitehead Institute) for Dataset N1; Keeney lab (Howard Hughes Medical Institute; Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) for Dataset N2.

Project description:Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) has been instrumental to our current view of chromatin structure and function. It allows genome-wide mapping of histone marks, which demarcate biologically relevant domains. However, ChIP-seq is an ensemble measurement reporting the average occupancy of individual marks in a cell population. Consequently, our understanding of the combinatorial nature of chromatin states relies almost exclusively on correlation between the genomic distributions of individual marks. Here, we report the development of Combinatorial-iChIP to determine the genome-wide co-occurrence of histone marks at single nucleosome resolution. By comparing to null model, we show that certain combinations of overlapping marks (H3K36me3 and H3K79me3) co-occur more frequently than expected by chance, while others (H3K4me3 and H3K36me3) do not, reflecting differences in the underlying chromatin pathways. We further use combinatorial-iChIP to illuminate aspects of the Set2-RPD3S pathway. This approach promises to improve our understanding of the combinatorial complexity of chromatin.

Project description:Meiotic chromosomes are highly compacted yet remain transcriptionally active. To understand how chromosome folding accommodates transcription, we investigated the assembly of the axial element, the proteinaceous structure that compacts meiotic chromosomes and promotes recombination and fertility. We found that the axial-element proteins of budding yeast are flexibly anchored to chromatin by the ring-like cohesin complex and biased towards small chromosomes by a separate modulating mechanism that requires the conserved axial element component Hop1. The ubiquitous presence of cohesin at sites of convergent transcription provides well-dispersed points for axis attachment and thus compaction. Axis protein enrichment at these sites directly correlates with the propensity for recombination initiation nearby. Importantly, axis anchoring by cohesin is adjustable and readily displaced in the direction of transcription by the transcriptional machinery. We propose that such robust but flexible tethering allows the highly structured axial element to promote recombination while easily adapting to changes in chromosome activity. Two types of study were undertaken to understand the meiotic chromosomal axes assembly and its importance in DSB regulation in yeast. First, DSBs were mapped using ssDNA enrichment in strains isogenic for a dmc1 mutation, and also including rec8 deletion and pREC8-SCC1 in rec8 deletion. Second, the genome-wide distribution of meiotic or mitotic cohesin in meiosis was measured by ChIP-chip analysis in wild-type and pREC8-SCC1 in rec8 deletion.

Project description:N-terminal acetylation is a conserved protein modification among eukaryotes, and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a valuable model system for studying this modification. The enzymes responsible for the bulk of protein N-terminal acetylation in S. cerevisiae are the N-terminal acetyltransferases NatA, NatB and NatC. Thus far, proteome-wide identification of the in vivo protein substrates of yeast NatA and NatB has been performed by N-terminomics. Here, we used S. cerevisiae deleted for the NatC catalytic subunit Naa30 and identified 57 yeast NatC substrates by N-terminal combined fractional diagonal chromatography (COFRADIC) analysis. Interestingly, in addition to the canonical N-termini starting with ML, MI, MF and MW, yeast NatC substrates also included MY, MK, MM, MA, MV and MS. However, for some of these substrate types, such as MY, MK, MV and MS, we also uncovered (residual) non-NatC NAT activity, most likely due to the previously established redundancy between yeast NatC and NatE/Naa50. Thus, we have revealed a complex interplay between different NATs in targeting methionine-starting N-termini in yeast. Furthermore, our results showed that ectopic expression of human NAA30 rescued known NatC phenotypes in naa30∆ yeast, as well as partially restored the yeast NatC Nt-acetylome. Thus, we demonstrate an evolutionary conservation of NatC from yeast to human thereby underpinning future disease models to study pathogenic NAA30 variants. Overall, this work offers increased biochemical and functional insights into NatC-mediated N-terminal acetylation and provides a basis for future work to pinpoint the specific molecular mechanisms that link lack of NatC-mediated N-terminal acetylation to phenotypes of NatC deletion yeast

Project description:Knowing the exact positions of nucleosomes not only advances our understanding of their role in gene regulation, but also the mechanisms that underlie between-species variation in chromatin structure. We have generated a chemical map of nucleosomes in vivo in Schizosaccharomyces pombe at base pair resolution. This new map reveals that S.pombe genome shares a similar periodic linker length distribution with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but with major distinctions in nucleosomal/linker DNA sequence features. In S.pombe, A/T rich sequences are enriched in the nucleosome core region, particularly +/-20 bp of dyad, while they are disfavored in S.cerevisiae nucleosomes. The poly (dA-dT) tracts only slightly affect the nucleosome occupancy in S.pombe; and they possess preferential rotational positions within the nucleosome core with significant enrichment in the 10-30 bp region from the dyad for longer tracts. S.pombe does not have well-defined nucleosome free region immediately upstream of most transcription start sites (TSS), instead the -1 nucleosome is positioned with regular distance to the +1 nucleosome, and its occupancy is negatively correlated with gene expression. The nucleosomes around TSS show more pronounced bidirectional phasing when the intergenic distance is relatively short, and the downstream nucleosome positioning is strongly correlated with DNA sequence features. We discovered that heterochromatin regions tend to have sparse nucleosome positioning, mixed with both well-positioned and fuzzy nucleosomes. The S.pombe map suggests that some of nucleosome positioning codes, formerly thought to be intrinsic, may largely depend on species-specific extrinsic factors including linker histone, chromatin remodelers and other DNA-binding proteins. 2 samples were analyzed with high throughput paired-end parallel sequencing. Both samples were created using the same chemical mapping protocol
