Genome-wide occupancy of Arabidopsis SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler SPLAYED provides insights into its interplay with its close homolog BRAHMA and Polycomb proteins

ABSTRACT: SPLAYED (SYD) is a SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF)-type chromatin remodeler identified in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). It is believed to play both redundant and differential roles with its closest homolog BRAHMA (BRM) in diverse plant growth and development processes. To better understand how SYD functions, we profiled the genome-wide occupancy of SYD and its impact on the global transcriptome and deposition of trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). To map the global occupancy of SYD, we generated a GFP-tagged transgenic line and used it for ChIP-seq experiments, by which more than 6,000 SYD target genes were identified. Through integrating SYD occupancy and transcriptome profiles, we found that SYD preferentially targets to nucleosome-free regions of expressed genes. Further analysis revealed that SYD occupancy peaks exhibit five distinct patterns, which were also shared by BRM and BAF60, a conserved SWI/SNF complex component, indicating the common target sites of these SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers and the functional relevance of such distinct patterns. To investigate the interplay between SYD and Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins, we performed a genome-wide analysis of H3K27me3 in syd-5. We observed both increases and decreases in H3K27me3 levels at a few hundred genes in syd-5 compared to wild-type (WT). Our results imply that SYD can act antagonistically or synergistically with PcG at specific genes. Together, our SYD genome-wide occupancy data and the transcriptome and H3K27me3 profiles provide a much-needed resource for dissecting SYD’s crucial roles in the regulation of plant growth and development.

Project description:Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit machines that play vital roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. However, how SWI/SNF complexes recognize target loci is still not fully understood. Here, we show that Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing homologous proteins, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13, are core subunits of SWI/SNF complexes that are required for SWI/SNF genomic targeting. The three BRDs directly interact with multiple SWI/SNF subunits, including the BRAHMA (BRM) catalytic subunit. Phenotypic and transcriptome analysis of the brd1 brd2 brd13 triple mutants showed that the BRDs act in large redundancy to control developmental processes and gene expression that are also regulated by BRM. BRDs extensively co-localize with BRM on chromatin. brd1 brd2 brd13 mutation results in the reduced BRM protein levels and genome-wide targeting on chromatin. Finally, we demonstrate that the bromodomain of BRD2 is essential for genomic targeting of BRD2, highlighting the role of this reader domain in the recruitment of BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes to target sites in plants. SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are evolutionarily conserved and is confirmed to use the energy derived from hydrolysis of ATP to alter the density or the position of nucleosomes on the DNA or the composition of histone octamer. Bromodomain, an acetylated histone interaction module, was found in chromatin remodeling factors. During the 29 Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing protein, like GCN5 and GTE4/6, their function has been reported. Here, we reported three BRM-interacting bromodomain-containing protein, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13 are new core subunits of Arabidopsis SWI/SNF complexes. brd1/2/13 displayed a similar phenotype like brm, such as down-ward curled leaves, reduced fertility, shorter silique and root. Moreover, brm brd1/2/13 shows more serious phenotype just like brm-1. Y2H, Co-IP, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq assay reveal that BRDs interact with BRM at both protein and chromatin level. Future more, BRDs are required for BRM genome-wide occupancy and BRM might bind to chromatin via BRDs bromodomain by interacting with their BBC domain.
