MCM2 promotes symmetric inheritance of modified histones during DNA replication

ABSTRACT: During genome replication, parental histones are recycled to newly replicated DNA with their post-translational modifications (PTMs). It remains unknown whether sister chromatids inherit modified histones evenly. Here, we measured histone PTM partition to sister chromatids in embryonic stem cells. We found that parental histones H3-H4 segregate to both daughter DNA strands with a weak leading strand bias, skewing partition at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders and enhancers proximal to replication initiation zones. Segregation of parental histones to the leading strand increased markedly in cells with histone-binding mutations in MCM2, part of the replicative helicase, exacerbating histone PTM sister chromatid asymmetry. This work reveals how histones are inherited to sister chromatids and identifies a mechanism for how symmetric cell division is ensured by the replication machinery.

N-terminus of Spt16 anchors FACT to Mcm2 for parental histone recycling

Project description:Parental histone recycling is essential for the restoration of chromatin-based epigenetic information during chromatin replication; however, the specific mechanisms underlying the local recycling of parental histones remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal an unexpected role of the Spt16-N domain in histone chaperone FACT during parental histone recycling and transfer in budding yeast. We found that depletion of Spt16 or mutations in the Spt16 middle domain leads to defects in both parental histone recycling and new histone deposition, affecting both the leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks, highlighting the essential role of the FACT complex in both parental histone recycling and new histone deposition. Surprisingly, Spt16-N deletion results in an apparent defect in parental histone recycling, with a more pronounced defect on the lagging strand than the corresponding leading strand. Mechanistically, the Spt16-N domain acts as a protective barrier, shielding FACT-bound histone H3-H4 and facilitating its interaction with Mcm2, which ensures efficient local parental histone recycling. Collectively, the Spt16-N domain provides a protein–protein interaction module allowing FACT to act as a shuttle chaperone, cooperate with multiple replisome components, which act as co-chaperones, to form a complex involving the shuttle chaperone, histones, and co-chaperones, during parental histone recycling and transfer.

Quantification of parental and new histones H3, H4 and H2A by mass spectrometry: analysis of their dynamics along cell cycle progression in WT and MCM2-2A mutant mouse ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication parental, nucleosomic histones are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histones and their PTMs. In MCM2 histone-binding mutant ESCs (MCM2-2A), histones are recycled asymmetrically to the leading strand. To evaluate if loss of parental histones contributes to the asymmetry, we tracked new and old histones quantitatively by pulse-Triple-SILAC-MS. The quantification showed no change in dilution and incorporation dynamics in MCM2-2A cells, demonstrating that parental histones are not lost at replication forks but re-routed from the lagging to the leading strand.

Quantification of histone H3 and H4 modifications by mass spectrometry in wildtype and MCM2-2A mutants of mice ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication modified parental histones H3-H4 are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histone PTMs. Whether heritable histone modifications confer epigenetic regulation by maintaining chromatin states and gene expression is unclear. Using MCM2 histone-binding mutant embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mass spectrometry, we show that asymmetric segregation of parental histones to the leading strand causes imbalanced inheritance of histone H3K27 methylations to daughter cells.

The Mcm2-Ctf4-Pola axis facilitates parental histone transfer to lagging strands

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

Cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion resolves sister chromatids in G2 phase

Project description:Genetic information is stored in linear DNA molecules, which fold extensively inside cells. DNA replication along the folded template path yields two sister chromatids that initially occupy the same nuclear region in a highly intertwined arrangement. Dividing cells must disentangle and condense the sister chromatids into separate bodies such that a microtubule-based spindle can move them to opposite poles. While the spindle-mediated transport of sister chromatids has been studied in detail, the chromosome-intrinsic mechanics pre-segregating sister chromatids have remained elusive. Here, we show that human sister chromatids resolve extensively already during interphase, in a process dependent on the loop-extruding activity of cohesin, but not that of condensins. Increasing cohesin’s looping capability increases sister DNA resolution in interphase nuclei to an extent normally seen only during mitosis, despite the presence of abundant arm cohesion. That cohesin can resolve sister chromatids so extensively in the absence of mitosis-specific activities indicates that DNA loop extrusion is a generic mechanism for segregating replicated genomes, shared across different Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes in all kingdoms of life.

Two distinct modes for propagation of histone PTMs across the cell cycle

Project description:Epigenetic states defined by chromatin can be maintained through mitotic cell division. However, it remains unknown how histone-based information is transmitted. Here we combine nascent chromatin capture (NCC) and triple-SILAC labelling to track histone modifications and histone variants during DNA replication and across the cell cycle. We show that post-translational modifications (PTMs) are transmitted with parental histones to newly replicated DNA. Di- and tri-methylation marks are diluted two-fold upon DNA replication, as a consequence of new histone deposition. Importantly, within one cell cycle all PTMs are restored. In general, new histones are modified to mirror the parental histones. However, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 are propagated by continuous modification of parental and new histones, because the establishment of these marks extends over several cell generations. Together, our results reveal how histone marks propagate and demonstrate that chromatin states oscillate within the cell cycle.

Genome-wide ChIP-chip Rad50 in early S-phase in the presence of hydroxyurea

Project description:The Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex is related to SMC complexes that form rings capable of holding two distinct DNA strands together. MRX functions at stalled replication forks and double-strand breaks (DSB). A mutation in the N-terminal OB-fold of the 70-kD subunit of yeast replication protein A, rfa1-t11, abrogates MRX recruitment to both types of damage. The rfa1 mutation is functionally epistatic with loss of any of the MRX subunits for survival of replication fork stress or DSB recovery, although it does not compromise end resection. High resolution imaging shows that either the rfa1-t11 or the rad50 mutation lets stalled replication forks collapse, and allows the separation not only of opposing ends, but of sister chromatids at breaks. Given that cohesin loss does not provoke visible sister separation as long as the RPA -MRX contacts are intact, we conclude that MRX also serves as a structural lynchpin of sister chromatids at breaks. Rad50 is a member of the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex which is known to associate to replication forks under hydroxyurea-stress condition. Using ChIP-chip, we show that MRX recruitment to replication forks partially rely on Rfa1 (RPA) at the genome-wide level.

Recycling of parental histones preserves the epigenetic landscape during embryonic development (ATAC-seq)

Project description:Epigenetic inheritance during DNA replication requires an orchestrated assembly of nucleosomes from parental and newly synthesized histones. We analyzed Drosophila HisC mutant embryos harboring a deletion of all canonical histone genes, in which nucleosome assembly relies on parental histones from cell cycle 14 onwards. Lack of new histone synthesis and parental histone recycling leads to more accessible chromatin and reduced nucleosome occupancy. This leads to upregulated and spurious transcription, whereas the control of the developmental transcriptional program is partially maintained. Importantly, the genomic positions of modified parental H2A, H2B, and H3 are restored during DNA replication. Therefore, the results suggest that parental histones with active or repressive marks are recycled to preserve the epigenetic landscape during DNA replication in vivo.
