The lane-switch mechanism for nucleosome repositioning by DNA translocase.

ABSTRACT: Translocases such as DNA/RNA polymerases, replicative helicases, and exonucleases are involved in eukaryotic DNA transcription, replication, and repair. Since eukaryotic genomic DNA wraps around histone octamers and forms nucleosomes, translocases inevitably encounter nucleosomes. A previous study has shown that a nucleosome repositions downstream when a translocase collides with the nucleosome. However, the molecular mechanism of the downstream repositioning remains unclear. In this study, we identified the lane-switch mechanism for downstream repositioning with molecular dynamics simulations and validated it with restriction enzyme digestion assays and deep sequencing assays. In this mechanism, after a translocase unwraps nucleosomal DNA up to the site proximal to the dyad, the remaining wrapped DNA switches its binding lane to that vacated by the unwrapping, and the downstream DNA rewraps, completing downstream repositioning. This mechanism may have broad implications for transcription through nucleosomes, histone recycling, and nucleosome remodeling.

Nucleosome Repositioning: Nicotine- and Cocaine-induced Changes

Project description:SH-SY5Y, neuroblastoma cells, were exposed to nicotine for 10, 60, and 90 minutes or cocaine for 5, 20, 40, and 60 minutes. Drugs of abuse modify behavior by altering gene expression in the brain. Gene expression can be regulated by changes in DNA methylation as well as by histone modifications, which alter chromatin structure, DNA compaction and DNA accessibility. In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms directing drug-induced changes in chromatin structure, we examined DNA-nucleosome interactions within promoter regions of 858 genes in human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) exposed to nicotine or cocaine. Widespread, drug- and time-resolved repositioning of nucleosomes was identified at the transcription start site and promoter region of multiple genes. Nicotine and cocaine produced unique and shared changes in terms of the numbers and types of genes affected, as well as repositioning of nucleosomes at sites which could increase or decrease the probability of gene expression based on DNA accessibility. Half of the drug-induced nucleosome positions approximated a theoretical model of nucleosome occupancy based on physical and chemical characteristics of the DNA sequence, whereas the basal or drug-naive positions were generally DNA sequence independent. Thus we suggest that nucleosome repositioning represents an initial dynamic genome-wide alteration of the transcriptional landscape preceding more selective downstream transcriptional reprogramming, which ultimately characterizes the cell- and tissue-specific responses to drugs of abuse. SH-SY5Y, neuroblastoma cells, were exposed to nicotine for 10, 60, and 90 minutes or cocaine for 5, 20, 40, and 60 minutes. Two independently grown biological replicates for each time point and condition, and two controls were processed.

Nucleosome repositioning in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Project description:The location of nucleosomes in the human genome determines the primary chromatin structure and regulates access to regulatory regions. However, genome-wide information on deregulated nucleosome occupancy and its implications in primary cancer cells is scarce. Here, we conducted a genome-wide comparison of high-resolution nucleosome maps in peripheral-blood B cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and healthy individuals at single base pair resolution. Our investigation uncovered significant changes of nucleosome positioning in CLL. Globally, the spacing between nucleosomes – the nucleosome repeat length (NRL) – was shortened in CLL. This effect was stronger in the more aggressive IGHV-unmutated than in the IGHV-mutated CLL subtype. Changes in nucleosome occupancy at specific sites were linked to active chromatin remodelling and reduced DNA methylation. Nucleosomes lost or gained in CLL marked differential binding of 3D chromatin organisers such as CTCF as well as immune response-related transcription factors and delineated mechanisms of epigenetic deregulation. The principal component analysis of nucleosome occupancy in cancer-specific regions allowed classification of samples between cancer subtypes and normal controls. Furthermore, patients could be better assigned to CLL subtypes according to differential nucleosome occupancy than based on DNA methylation or gene expression. Thus, nucleosome positioning constitutes a novel readout to dissect molecular mechanisms of disease progression and to stratify patients. Furthermore, we anticipate that the global nucleosome repositioning detected in our study, such as changes in the NRL, can be exploited for liquid biopsy applications based on cell-free DNA to monitor disease progression.
