Nanopore and Illumina sequencing of limited MNase digests to map chromatin regularity and linker length

ABSTRACT: The nature of chromatin as regular succession of nucleosomes has gained iconic status. However, since most nucleosomes in metazoans are poorly positioned it is unknown to which extent the bulk genomic nucleosome repeat length (NRL) reflects the regularity and spacing of nucleosome arrays at individual loci. We describe a new approach to map nucleosome fiber regularity and spacing through sequencing oligonucleosome-derived DNA by classical as well as emergent nanopore-technology. This revealed modulation of chromatin regularity and NRL depending on functional chromatin states independently of nucleosome positioning and even in unmappable regions. We also found that that nucleosome arrays downstream of silent promoters are considerably more regular than those downstream of highly expressed ones, despite most extensive nucleosome phasing of the latter. Our approach is generally applicable and provides an important parameter of chromatin organisation that so far had been missing.

ACF1 regulates nucleosome spacing in Drosophila euchromatin [MNase-seq BG3]

Project description:The nature of chromatin as regular succession of nucleosomes has gained iconic status. The average nucleosome repeat length (NRL) determined by classical means serves as index for bulk chromatin of a given specimen. However, this value is dominated by regular heterochromatin since nucleosomal arrays are often not regular at individual single copy sequences. To obtain a measure for nucleosome regularity in euchromatin we subjected nucleosome dyad profiles to autocorrelation and spectral density analyses. This revealed variation in nucleosome regularity and NRL at different types of euchromatin and yielded a comprehensive catalog of regular phased nucleosome arrays (PNA). The absence of the nucleosome sliding factor ACF1 correlated with global loss of regularity in euchromatin and increased NRL and compromised phasing at a novel type of PNA. Our approach is generally applicable to characterize hallmarks of euchromatin organization.

Hrp3-TAP_Purification from Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Project description:Hrp3_Purification from Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- Eukaryotic genome is composed of repeating units of nucleosomes to form chromatin arrays. A canonical gene is marked by nucleosome free region (NFR) at its 5’ end followed by uniformly spaced arrays of nucleosomes. In fission yeast we show both biochemically and in vivo that both Hrp1 and Hrp3 are key determinants of uniform spacing of genic arrays.

Insights into promoter chromatin remodeling from the structure of ISW1a complex bound to the dinucleosome

Project description:Nucleosomes, the basic repeating units of chromatin, form evenly spaced arrays inside the cell. Chromatin remodelers alter the positions of nucleosomes, and are vital in regulating chromatin organization and gene expression. Here we report the cryoEM structure of the chromatin remodeler ISW1a complex bound to the dinucleosome. Both subunits of the complex recognize one nucleosome. The motor subunit binds at the canonical position of the nucleosome, with two arginine anchors recognizing the acidic patch. The DNA-binding module interacts with the entry linker DNA at the nucleosome edge, consistent with the protein ruler model in nucleosome spacing. The Ioc3 subunit recognizes the disk face of the adjacent nucleosome, being important for the spacing activity in vitro, and for chromatin organization in vivo. Together, our findings illustrate a new mode of chromatin remodeling in the context of higher-order chromatin

Nucleosome Mapping in S. pombe Centromeres

Project description:A key element for defining the centromere identity is the incorporation of a specific histone H3, CENP-A, known as Cnp1p in S. pombe. Previous studies have suggested that functional S. pombe centromeres lack nucleosome arrays and may involve chromatin remodeling as a key step of kinetochore assembly. We used tiling microarrays to show that nucleosomes are in fact positioned in regular intervals in the core of centromere 2, providing the first high resolution map of regional centromere chromatin. Nucleosome locations are not disrupted by mutations in kinetochore proteins cnp1, mis18, mis12, nuf2, mal2, overexpression of Cnp1p, or deletion of ams2. Bioinformatic analysis of the centromere sequence indicates certain enriched motifs in linker regions between nucleosomes and reveals a sequence-bias in nucleosome positioning. We conclude that centromeric nucleosome positions are stable and may be derived from the underlying DNA sequence. In addition, sequence analysis of nucleosome-free regions identifies novel binding sites for the GATA-like protein Ams2p, which participates in CENP-A incorporation. Keywords: Nucleosome Mapping Study Entire cnt regions and histone-related genes were tiled at 1-5 bp spacing using 60-mer probes.

A single fiber view of the nucleosome organization of eukaryotic chromatin

Project description:Nucleosomes arrange into extended arrays, much like beads on a string. They are often phased at genomic landmarks and are thought to be evenly spaced. Here we tested to what extent this stereotypic organization describes the nucleosome landscape in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a long-read nucleosome-sequencing technique called Fiber-Seq. Fiber-Seq maps the nucleosome pattern on individual chromatin fibers. As such, it is ideally suited to measure the density of nucleosomes per read and quantitate the nucleosome occupancy throughout the genome. We document substantial deviations from the stereotypical nucleosome organization, with unexpectedly long linker DNAs between individual nucleosomes, genomic regions lacking entire nucleosomes, heterogeneous phasing of arrays, truly irregular spacing of arrays and read-to-read variation in nucleosome densities. We exploited the technology to test mechanistic models for the biogenesis of nucleosome arrays. We can rule out transcription elongation playing a decisive role in array formation and detect signatures for a clamping activity of remodelers of the ISWI and CHD1 families after acute nucleosome depletion in vivo. Given that nucleosomes are cis-regulatory elements, the cell-to-cell heterogeneity that Fiber-Seq uncovers provides much needed information to understand chromatin structure and function.

Ruler elements in chromatin remodelers set nucleosome array spacing and phasing

Project description:Arrays of regularly spaced nucleosomes dominate chromatin and are often phased, i.e., aligned at reference sites like active promoters. How distances between nucleosomes and distances between phasing sites and nucleosomes are determined remained unclear, specifically, the role of ATP dependent chromatin remodelers in it. Here, we used a genome-wide reconstitution system to probe how yeast remodelers generate phased nucleosome arrays. We find that remodelers bear a structural element named the ‘ruler’ that sets nucleosome spacing, in the order Chd1 < ISW1a < ISW2 < INO80. Structure-based mutagenesis confirmed the functional significance of the ruler element in INO80. Differences in the ruler elements of different remodelers explain the observed nucleosome array features. More generally, we propose that remodelers use their rulers to regulate the direction of nucleosome sliding in response to nucleosome density and environment, leading to nucleosome positioning relative to other nucleosomes, DNA bound factors or DNA sequence elements.

Differential Nucleosome Spacing in Neurons and Glia [RNA-seq]

Project description:Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of chromatin, in which regularly spaced nucleosomes containing ~147 bp of DNA are separated by linker DNA. Most eukaryotic cells have a characteristic average nucleosome spacing of ~190 bp, corresponding to a ~45 bp linker. However, cortical neurons have a shorter average spacing of ~165 bp. The significance of this atypical global chromatin organization is unclear. We have compared the chromatin structures of purified mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons, cortical oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and cortical astrocytes. DRG neurons have short average spacing (~165 bp), whereas OPCs (~182 bp) and astrocytes (~183 bp) have longer spacing. We measured nucleosome positions by MNase-seq and gene expression by RNA-seq. Most genes in all three cell types have a promoter chromatin organization typical of active genes: a nucleosome-depleted region at the promoter flanked by regularly spaced nucleosomes phased relative to the transcription start site. In DRG neurons, the spacing of phased nucleosomes downstream of promoters (~178 bp) is longer than expected from the genomic average, whereas phased nucleosome spacing in OPCs and astrocytes is similar to the global average (~183 bp). Thus, the atypical nucleosome spacing of neuronal chromatin does not extend to promoter-proximal regions.
