Transcription-associated histone pruning demarcates macroH2A chromatin domains

ABSTRACT: Here, we characterized de novo chromatin deposition of macroH2A2 using temporal genomic profiling in cells devoid of all macroH2A isoforms. We find that macroH2A2 is first pervasively deposited genome-wide and subsequently pruned to establish mature domains. This transient incorporation occurs preferentially at transcribed regions adjacent to future mature macroH2A2 domains and transcriptional inhibition prevents the clearing of promiscuously incorporated macroH2A2. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9-based manipulation of the transcriptional activity at a given locus reveals that transcriptional silencing triggers ectopic macroH2A2 accumulation, while activation depletes pre-existing macroH2A2. We demonstrate that the FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) complex is required for macroH2A2 removal from transcribed chromatin. Taken together, we have identified a transcription-associated pruning mechanism that establishes and maintains the faithful genomic localization of macroH2A variants.

macroH2A histone variants act as a barrier upon reprogramming towards pluripotency

Project description:Here we report that the histone variant macroH2A acts as a barrier to induced pluripotency. Using fibroblasts isolated from macroH2A double knockout mice, we observed enhanced reprogramming efficiency compared to fibroblasts from wild type animals. We further show that macroH2A isoforms act synergistically in this process. Genomic analysis in wild type fibroblasts reveals that macroH2A1 and H3K27me3 domains co-localize and occupy pluripotency genes. While the absence of macroH2A does not affect H3K27me3 in fibroblasts, macroH2A1 is highly enriched at a set of Utx target genes that are reactivated early during iPS reprogramming. Mononucleosomes from Dermal Fibroblasts (from wt and macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 double knockout mice) were isolated and ChIP'd with mH2A1, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac antibodies. DNA from Input and ChIP samples was purified and sequenced on Illumina's Hiseq.

Genome-wide maps of macroH2A and H2B distribution in murine embryonic fibroblasts in dependence of Lsh.

Project description:We report here the distribution of the histone variant macroH2A in murine embryonic fibroblasts derived fom Lsh-/- embryos or Lsh+/+ embryos day 14 gestation using ChIP-seq analysis. We find that macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 deposition are reduced in the absence of Lsh in contrast to H2B deposition. The study identifies Lsh as important regulator of genome wide macroH2A deposition.

Expression data from fasted macroH2A1/2 double knockout adult mouse liver

Project description:MacroH2As core histone variants have a unique structure that includes C-terminal nonhistone domain. MacroH2As are highly conserved in vertebrates, and are thought to regulate gene expression. However the nature of genes regulated by macroH2As and the biological significance of macroH2As for the organism remain unclear. Here we examine macroH2A function in vivo by knocking out both macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 in the mouse. We used microarrays to examine how the absence of macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 histone variants affect gene expression fasted adult mouse liver. Two month old male mice were fasted overnight (~16 hours). Mice were sacrificed between 9:00 and 10:00 AM, livers were collected and snap frozen with liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extract with Trizol (life technologies) following standard protocol.

Wild-type and macroH2A1/2 double knockout pre-implantation embryos were collected, mixed and implanted into wild-type recipient females. Livers were collected from the resultant fetuses at 18.5 days post coitum and snap frozen with liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted from the livers using Trizol.

CTCF demarcates chromatin domains

Project description:Insulators are DNA elements, which prevent inappropriate interactions between the neighboring regions of the genome. They can be functionally classified as either enhancer blockers or domain barriers. CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) is the only known major insulator binding protein in the vertebrates and has been shown to bind many enhancer-blocking elements. However, it is not clear whether it plays a role in chromatin domain barriers between active and repressive domains. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide binding sites of CTCF in three cell types and identified significant binding of CTCF to the boundaries of repressive chromatin domains marked by H3K27me3. Although we find an extensive overlapping of CTCF binding sites across the three cell types, its association with the domain boundaries is cell type-specific. We further show that the nucleosomes flanking CTCF binding sites are well positioned and associated with histone H2AK5 acetylation (H2AK5ac). Interestingly, we found a complementary pattern between the repressive H3K27me3 and the active H2AK5ac regions, which are separated by CTCF. Our findings indicate that CTCF may play important roles in the barrier activity of insulators and provide a resource for further investigation of the CTCF function in organizing chromatin in the human genome. Examination of the role of CTCF in chromatin domain barrier function In addition to the ChIP-seq analysis, two replicates of HeLa expression data were studied.

MacroH2A histone variants maintain nuclear organization and heterochromatin architecture

Project description:Genetic loss-of-function studies in development, cancer and somatic cell reprogramming have suggested that the group of macroH2A histone variants might function through stabilizing the differentiated state by a yet unknown mechanism. Here, we present results demonstrating that macroH2A variants have a major function in maintaining nuclear organization and heterochromatin architecture. Specifically, we find that a substantial amount of macroH2A is associated with heterochromatic repeat sequences. We further identify macroH2A on sites of interstitial heterochromatin decorated by H3K9me3. Loss of macroH2A leads to major defects in nuclear organization including reduced nuclear circularity, disruption of nucleoli and a global loss of dense heterochromatin. Domains formed by repeat sequences when depleted of macroH2A are disorganized, expanded and fragmented and mildly re-expressed. On the molecular level we find that macroH2A is required for the interaction of repeat sequences with the nucleostructural protein Lamin B1. Taken together our results argue that a major function of macroH2A histone variants is to link nucleosome composition to higher order chromatin architecture.
