Native Chromatin Proteomics Reveals a Role for Specific Nucleoporins in Heterochromatin Organization and Maintenance.

ABSTRACT: Spatially and functionally distinct domains of heterochromatin and euchromatin play important roles in the maintenance of chromosome stability and regulation of gene expression, but a comprehensive knowledge of their composition is lacking. Here, we develop a strategy for the isolation of native Schizosaccharomyces pombe heterochromatin and euchromatin fragments and analyze their composition by using quantitative mass spectrometry. The shared and euchromatin-specific proteomes contain proteins involved in DNA and chromatin metabolism and in transcription, respectively. The heterochromatin-specific proteome includes all proteins with known roles in heterochromatin formation and, in addition, is enriched for subsets of nucleoporins and inner nuclear membrane (INM) proteins, which associate with different chromatin domains. While the INM proteins are required for the integrity of the nucleolus, containing ribosomal DNA repeats, the nucleoporins are required for aggregation of heterochromatic foci and epigenetic inheritance. The results provide a comprehensive picture of heterochromatin-associated proteins and suggest a role for specific nucleoporins in heterochromatin function.

Functional interaction of chromatin with nucleoporins in Drosophila

Project description:Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate transport across the nuclear envelope. In yeast, they have also been proposed to interact with active genes, attracting or retaining them at the nuclear periphery. However, some NPC components (nucleoporins) in higher eukaryotes are also found in the nucleoplasm, with so far unknown function. Therefore, we have functionally distinguished between nucleoporin-chromatin interactions at the NPC and within the nucleoplasm in Drosophila. For this we analyzed genomic interactions of full-length nucleoporins Nup98, Nup50 and Nup62 and nucleoplasmic and NPC-tethered forms of Nup98. We found that nucleoporins predominantly interacted with transcriptionally active genes inside the nucleoplasm. A smaller set of non-active genes interacted with the NPC. We identified a direct role for nucleoplasmic Nup98 in stimulating gene expression, as genes downregulated upon Nup98 depletion were activated upon nucleoplasmic Nup98 overexpression and showed strong nucleoplasmic Nup98 interaction. Thus, nucleoporins stimulate gene expression away from the NPC by interacting with genes inside the nucleoplasm.

Nucleoporins facilitate ORC loading onto chromatin

Project description:The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds throughout the genome to initiate DNA replication. In metazoans, it is still unclear how ORC is targeted to specific loci to facilitate helicase loading and replication initiation. Here, we performed immunoprecipitations coupled with mass spectrometry for ORC2 in Drosophila embryos. Surprisingly, we found that ORC2 associates with several subunits of the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the nuclear pore. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that, relative to all modENCODE factors, nucleoporins are among the most enriched factors at ORC2 binding sites. Critically, depletion of the nucleoporin Elys, a member of the Nup107-160 complex, results in decrease ORC2 loading onto chromatin. Depleting Elys also sensitized cells to replication fork stalling, which could reflect a defect in establishing dormant replication origins. Our work reveals a new connection between ORC, replication initiation and nucleoporins, highlighting a previously unrecognized function of nucleoporins in metazoan replication initiation.

XPC and Non-XPC Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Mutation Rate Study

Project description:<p>Base mutations occur at higher frequencies within heterochromatin and late-replicating DNA. In this study, we show that regional differences in mutation frequency are absent in portions of the genome that are not transcribed within cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCCs) with an XPC-\- genetic background. The XPC-\- genetic background predicates a loss of global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER), thus our data shows that regional differences in mutation frequency are a result of differential access of DNA repair protein. Unexpectedly, we also note that greater transcription reduces mutations on both strands of genes in heterochromatin, and only to those levels observed in euchromatin, in a XPC-dependent fashion. Therefore, transcription likely reduces mutation prevalence by increasing access to DNA repair proteins. This tripartite relationship between DNA repair, transcription, and chromatin state shows a new cancer risk factor in human populations.</p>

Genomic and proteomic resolution of heterochromatin and its restriction of alternate fate genes (RNA-seq)

Project description:Heterochromatic regions in mammalian cells suppress recombination, silence transcription, and are crucial for maintaining cell differentiation. Genomic and biochemical characterization of heterochromatin has relied on the associated histone modifications H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, yet these marks are also found in euchromatic regions that permit transcription. We employed a biophysical method to isolate sonication resistant heterochromatin from human somatic cells, mapped its genomic organization compared to histone modifications, and used proteomics to reveal an extensive number of heterochromatin-bound proteins. We discriminate subtypes of H3K9me3- and H3K27me3-marked domains, in sonication-resistant heterochromatin versus euchromatin, and we present a resource of hundreds of proteins that preferentially bind heterochromatin, a set enriched for RNA-binding proteins and proteins that oppose iPS reprogramming. The sonication-resistant heterochromatin landscape includes repressed genes for alternative lineages that are resistant to activation by introduced transcription factors. Depletion of identified heterochromatin-associated proteins reduces this barrier, rendering alternative-lineage genes more competent for transcriptional activation.

Biochemical properties of chromatin domains define their compartmentalization [I]

Project description:Chromatin three-dimensional (3D) organization inside the cell nucleus determines the separation of euchromatin and heterochromatin domains. Their segregation results in the definition of active and inactive chromatin compartments, whereby the local concentration of associated proteins, RNA and DNA results in the formation of distinct subnuclear structures. Thus, chromatin domains spatially confined in a specific 3D nuclear compartment are expected to share similar epigenetic features and biochemical properties, in terms of accessibility and solubility. Based on this rationale, we developed the 4f-SAMMY-seq to map euchromatin and heterochromatin based on their accessibility and solubility, starting from as little as 10,000 cells. Adopting a tailored bioinformatic data analysis approach we reconstruct also their 3D segregation in active and inactive chromatin compartments and sub-compartments, thus recapitulating the characteristic properties of distinct chromatin states. A key novelty of the new method is the capability to map both the linear segmentation of open and closed chromatin domains, as well as their 3D compartmentalization in one single experiment.

Inducible repositioning of mouse gene tethering to the inner nuclear membrane

Project description:Nuclear compartmentalization appears to play an important role in regulating metazoan genes. While studies on immunoglobulin (Ig) and other loci have correlated positioning at the nuclear lamina with gene repression, the functional consequences of this compartmentalization remain untested. We devised an approach for inducible tethering of genes to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and demonstrate with 3D DNA-ImmunoFISH, repositioning of chromosomal regions to the nuclear lamina. Relocalization requires mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown and reformation. Tethering leads to the accumulation of lamin and INM proteins but not to association with pericentromeric heterochromatin or nuclear pore complexes. Recruitment of genes to the INM can result in their transcriptional repression. Using DamID we show that as is the case for our model system, inactive Ig loci at the nuclear periphery are contacted by INM and lamina components. We propose that such molecular interactions are used to compartmentalize and limit the accessibility of Ig loci. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarray to analyze the transcription status of genomic regions are inducibly tethered to the INM
