Project description:Abstract: In the yeast S. pombe, multiple chromatin-modifying enzymes are required for heterochromatin formation, yet how their actions alter chromatin structure to block access to DNAby the transcriptional machinery is unknown. We constructed high-resolution nucleosome occupancy maps of heterochromatic regions in wild-type strains and in mutants lacking the H3K9 methyltransferase Clr4 or one of the two activities of the silencing effector complex SHREC. Fourier analysis reveals that these enzymes do not increase the regularity of nucleosome spacing. Rather, their principal effect was to induce the elimination of nucleosome-free regions (NFRs). Both NFRs associated with transcription initiation sites as well as those not associated with promoters are affected. As in S. cerevisiae, repressed genes in euchromatin retain their NFRs. Thus, NFR elimination cannot be explained as a secondary consequence of repression. The maps also show that TFIIIC boundary elements have NFRs resistant to silencing, suggesting a potential role in preventing lateral spread of heterochromatin. NFR elimination offers a mechanism by which heterochromatin restricts access of the transcriptional machinery to DNA. Nucleosome positions in either heterochromatin or euchromatin were mapped in various mutants to determine whether chromatin structure is altered upon heterochromatic silencing. Eight strains were assayed for nucleosome positioning in heterochromatin while two strains were assayed for nucleosome positioning in euchromatin. Two biological replicates were assayed for each strain. No dye swaps were done. RNA transcripts were also mapped using the heterochromatin tiling arrays to determine where RNA transcripts accumulate in heterochromatin. Three strains were assayed for transcripts in heterochromatin by hybridizing cy5-labeled cDNA created from total RNA against cy3-labeled cDNA created from RNA synthesized from sonicated genomic DNA. Two biological replicates were assayed for each strain.

Project description:Open chromatin provides access to a wide spectrum of DNA binding proteins for DNA metabolism processes such as transcription, repair, recombination, and replication. In this regard, open chromatin profiling has been widely used to identify the location of regulatory regions, including promoters, enhancers, insulators, silencers, replication origins, and recombination hotspots. Regulatory DNA elements are made accessible by nucleosome-depeleted states. Thus, nucleosome remodelling and modification should be intimately coupled with open chromatin formation and regulation. However, our knowledge of nucleosome regulation is largely limited to promoter regions, which comprise only a subset of all regulatory loci in the genome. In order to examine nucleosome patterns in open chromatin regions, we performed micrococcal nuclease (MNase) sequencing for a laboratory strain of 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

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:Maintenance of the correct level and organization of nucleosomes is crucial for genome function. Here we uncover a role for a conserved bromodomain AAA-ATPase, Abo1, in maintenance of nucleosome architecture in fission yeast. Cells lacking abo1+ experience both a reduction and mis-positioning of nucleosomes at transcribed sequences in addition to increased intragenic transcription, phenotypes that are hallmarks of defective chromatin re-establishment behind RNA polymerase II. Abo1 is recruited to gene sequences and associates with histone H3 and the histone chaperone FACT. Furthermore, the distribution of Abo1 on chromatin is disturbed by impaired FACT function. The role of Abo1 extends to some promoters and also to silent heterochromatin. Abo1 is recruited to pericentromeric heterochromatin independently of the HP1 ortholog, Swi6, where it enforces proper nucleosome occupancy. Consequently, loss of Abo1 alleviates silencing and causes elevated chromosome mis-segregation. We suggest that Abo1 provides a histone chaperone function that maintains nucleosome architecture genome-wide. A chromatin-seq/MNase-seq approach called Chromatin Particle Spectrum Analysis (Kent et al., (2011) Nucleic Acids Res. 39:e26) was used to map and compare nucleosome position in wild-type (strain 972) and isogenic abo1 knock-out (strain HM463) fission yeast cells. For each strain, three independent in vivo MNase digest bio-reps were performed and the purified DNA pooled. CPSA was performed using paired-end mode Illumina technology with pooled samples multiplexed over two HiSeq2000 lanes. Each CPSA paired read describes a microcococcal nuclease (MNase) resistant DNA species from chromatin, with the insert-size equivalent to the size of DNA protection. For each strain type, two analysed data sets are provided here: one listing the genomic distribution of MNase-protected DNAs of 150bp (â150bp CPSA size classâ) and corresponding to mono-nucleosomes; the other listing the genomic distribution of MNase-protected DNAs of 300bp (â300bp CPSA size classâ) and corresponding to di-nucleosomes.

Project description:Nucleosomes are the basic unit of chromatin. Nucleosome positioning (NP) plays a key role in transcriptional regulation and other biological processes. To better understand NP we used MNase-seq to investigate changes that occur as human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) transition to nascent mesoderm and then to smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Compared to differentiated cell derivatives, nucleosome occupancy at promoters and other notable genic sites, such as exon/intron junctions and adjacent regions, in hESCs shows a stronger correlation with transcript abundance and is less influenced by sequence content. Upon hESC differentiation, genes being silenced, but not genes being activated, display a substantial change in nucleosome occupancy at their promoters. Genome-wide, we detected a shift of NP to regions of higher G+C content as hESCs differentiate to SMCs. Notably, genomic regions with higher nucleosome occupancy harbor twice as many G↔C changes but fewer than half A↔T changes, compared to regions with lower nucleosome occupancy. Finally, our analysis indicates that the hESC genome is not rearranged and has a sequence mutation rate resembling normal human genomes. Our study reveals another unique feature of hESC chromatin, and sheds light on the relationship between nucleosome occupancy and sequence G+C content.
