Project description:Study to investigate the role of histone residues H3K4 and H3K36 for gene expression, histone localization and neuronal lineage specification by mutation of K4 and K36 in H3.3 to alanine. Histone variant H3.3 differs from the canonical H3.1/H3.2 by only 4 to 5 amino acids, which are necessary for nucleosome assembly independent of DNA replication, and is encoded by two gene copies. Complete loss of the two H3.3 genes (H3f3a and H3f3b) leads to embryonic lethality while single gene knockout yields viable mice. We used CRISPR-Cas9 to delete H3f3a and introduce homozygous point-mutations into H3f3b, thus ensuring that the entire pool of H3.3 protein carries the mutation of interest. We differentiated H3.3ctrl (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b wild type), H3.3K4A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K4A) and H3.3K36A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K36A) ESCs into glutamatergic neurons. Genomic localization of H3.3 protein was determined by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0). Histone modifications patterns of H3K4me1, H3K4me3 and H3K27ac were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0) to assess the impact of the H3.3K4A mutation on the epigenetic landscape. Levels of H3K36me3 were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in WT and H3.3K36A mutant ESCs (D0), NPCs (D8) and neurons (D12) to assess the impact of the H3.3K36A mutation on H3K36me3 levels in development.

Project description:Replication of the eukaryotic genome occurs in the context of chromatin, a nucleoprotein packaging state consisting of repeating nucleosomes. Chromatin is commonly thought to carry epigenetic information from one generation to the next, although it is unclear how such information survives the disruptions of nucleosomal architecture that occur during genomic replication. Here, we sought to directly measure a key aspect of chromatin structure dynamics during replication â how rapidly nucleosome positions are established on the newly-replicated daughter genomes. By isolating newly-synthesized DNA marked with the nucleotide analogue EdU, we characterize nucleosome positions on both daughter genomes of budding yeast during a time course of chromatin maturation. We find that nucleosomes rapidly adopt their mid log positions at highly-transcribed genes, and that this process was impaired upon treatment with the transcription inhibitor thiolutin, consistent with a role for transcription in positioning nucleosomes in vivo. Additionally, experiments in the Hir1Î background reveal a role for HIR in nucleosome spacing. Using strand-specific EdU libraries, we characterize nucleosome positions on the leading and lagging strand daughter genomes, uncovering differences in chromatin maturation dynamics between the two daughter genomes at hundreds of genes. Our data define the maturation dynamics of newly-replicated chromatin, and support a role for transcription in sculpting the chromatin template. We have mapped changes in nucleosome positions on newly replicated DNA in a timecourse after genome replication. We have used Micrococcal Nuclease footprinting of cross linked chromatin to determine nucleosome positions and EdU (ethylene deoxy uridine) to mark nascent DNA strands. EdU incorporated into nascent DNA strands was biotinylated with Click chemistry and nascent DNA strand fragments were subsequently isolated using Streptavidin coated magnetic beads.

Project description:Chemical modification of histone proteins by methylation plays a central role in chromatin regulation by recruiting epigenetic ‘readers’ via specialized binding domains. Depending on the degree of methylation, the exact modified amino acid, and the associated reader proteins histone methylations are involved in the regulation of all DNA-based processes, such as transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair. We have previously established a method that allows the unbiased identification of nuclear proteins which binding to nucleosomes is regulated by the presence of specific histone modifications (1,2). The method is based on an in-vitro reconstitution of semi-synthetic nucleosomes bearing a predefined set of histone modifications which are subsequently used as baits for affinity purification pull-down experiments with nuclear extracts followed by identification and quantification of nucleosome-interacting proteins using LC-MS/MS. Here we provide a representative set of label-free MS results for nucleosome pull-down affinity purification experiments performed using unmodified as well as H3K4me3- and H3K9me3-modified di-nucleosomes and nuclear extract obtained from HeLa S3 cells. 1.

Project description:In animals, replication coupled histone H3.1 can be distinguished from replication independent histone H3.3. H3.3 variants are enriched at active genes and their promoters. Furthermore, H3.3 is specifically incorporated upon gene activation. Histone H3 variants evolved independently in plants and animals and it is unclear whether different replication independent H3.3 variants developed similar properties in both phyla. We studied Arabidopsis H3 variants in order to find core properties of this class of histones. Here we present genome-wide maps of H3.3 and H3.1 enrichment and the dynamic changes of their profiles upon cell division arrest. We find H3.3 enrichment to positively correlate with gene expression and to be biased towards the transcription termination site. While heterochromatic regions are mostly depleted of H3.3, H3.1 shows a more even distribution along the genome. We report that in planta, dynamic changes in H3.3 profiles are associated with the extensive remodeling of the transcriptome that occurs during cell differentiation. We propose that H3.3 dynamics are linked to transcription and are involved in resetting covalent histone marks at a genomic scale during plant development. Similarities between plant and animal H3.3 deposition profiles indicate that H3 variants likely result from functionally convergent evolution. Analysis of 2 different histone H3 variants and transcriptome in 2 conditions.

Project description:Nucleosomes package eukaryotic DNA and are composed of four different histone proteins, H3, H4, H2A and H2B. Histone H3 has two main variants, H3.1 and H3.3, which show different genomic localization patterns in animals. We profiled H3.1 and H3.3 variants in the genome of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and show that the localization of these variants shows broad similarity in plants and animals, in addition to some unique features. H3.1 was enriched in silent areas of the genome including regions containing the repressive chromatin modifications H3 lysine 27 methylation, H3 lysine 9 methylation, and DNA methylation. In contrast, H3.3 was enriched in actively transcribed genes, especially peaking at the 3’ end of genes, and correlated with histone modifications associated with gene activation such as histone H3 lysine 4 methylation, and H2B ubiquitylation, as well as by RNA Pol II occupancy. Surprisingly, both H3.1 and H3.3 were enriched on defined origins of replication, as was overall nucleosome density, suggesting a novel characteristic of plant origins. Our results are broadly consistent with the hypothesis that H3.1 acts as the canonical histone that is incorporated during DNA replication, whereas H3.3 acts as the replacement histone that can be incorporated outside of S-phase during chromatin disrupting processes like transcription.

Project description:Replication-independent deposition of histone variant H3.3 into chromatin is essential for many biological processes, including development, oogenesis and nuclear reprogramming. Unlike replication-dependent H3.1/2 isoforms, H3.3 is expressed throughout the cell cycle and becomes enriched in postmitotic cells with age. However, lifelong dynamics of H3 variant replacement and the impact of this process on chromatin organization remain largely undefined. To address this, we investigated genome-wide changes in histone H3 variants composition and H3 modification abundances throughout the lifespan in mice using quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) – based middle-down proteomics strategy. Using middle-down MS we demonstrate that H3.3 accumulates in the chromatin of various somatic mouse tissues throughout life, resulting in near complete replacement of H3.1/2 isoforms by the late adulthood. Accumulation of H3.3 is associated with profound changes in the global level of H3 methylation. H3.3-containing chromatin exhibits distinct stable levels of H3R17me2 and H3K36me2, different from those on H3.1/H3.2-containing chromatin, indicating a direct link between H3 variant exchange and histone methylation dynamics with age. In summary, our study provides the first time comprehensive characterization of dynamic changes in the H3 modification landscape during mouse lifespan and links these changes to the age-dependent accumulation of histone variant H3.3.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest that suppresses tumorigenesis. Histone chaperone HIRA deposits nucleosome-destabilizing histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. Histone H3.3 and a subset of other typically M-bM-^@M-^\replication-dependentM-bM-^@M-^] core histones were expressed in non-proliferating senescent cells, the latter linked to alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation. Senescent cells incorporated newly-synthesized histones into chromatin, partially dependent on HIRA. HIRA and newly-deposited histone H3.3 co-localized at promoters of expressed genes, and their distribution shifted between proliferating and senescent cells, paralleling changes in gene expression. In senescent cells, gene promoters showed exceptional enrichment of a histone acetylation linked to open and dynamic chromatin, H4K16ac. Abundance of H4K16ac depended on HIRA. In the mouse, inactivation of HIRA downregulated H4K16ac and dramatically enhanced oncogene-induced hyperplasia. To conclude, HIRA controls a previously undefined dynamic non-canonical H4K16ac-decorated chromatin landscape in senescence, and also plays an unanticipated role in suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia.

Genomic localization of H3.3 protein was determined by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0). Distribution patterns of RNA Polymerase II Phosphorylated on Serine 5 (RNA Pol II Ser5P), of histone modification H3K27me3 and chromatin remodeler components Brg1/Smarca4 (Swi/Snf) and Chd4 (NuRD) were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0) to assess the impact of the H3.3K4A mutation on the epigenetic landscape. Distribution patterns of H3.3 were assessed by ChIP-Sequencing in HEK293T cells after depletion of Brg1/Smarca4 (Swi/Snf) and Chd4 (NuRD).
