Biochemical analysis of chromatin targeting by Tn5 transposase

ABSTRACT: Tn5 transposase is used as a tool for detecting nucleosome-free regions of genomic DNA in eukaryotes, but its DNA target site in chromatin has not been understood. In the present study, the well-positioned dinucleosomes were reconstituted, and the Tn5 transposase target sites were mapped in the dinucleosomes in vitro. We found that Tn5 transposase preferentially targets near the entry-exit DNA region within the nucleosome, if the linker DNA exists between two nucleosomes. This specific DNA targeting by Tn5 did not depend on the linker DNA length and DNA sequence. Tn5 transposase becomes to target the middle of the linker DNA, in addition to the entry-exit site of the nucleosome, if the linker DNA length extends to 30 base pairs. These in vitro data provide direct evidence for the Tn5 target sites in the nucleosome, resulting important information for interpretation of the Tn5-transposase-based genomics methods, which have been interpreted as linker or nucleosome-free DNA regions in genomes.

Tn5 transposase-mediated library preparation of single-cell cDNAs for RNA-seq

Project description:Deep sequencing of single cell-derived genomic DNA and/or cDNAs brings novel insights into oncogenesis and embryogenesis. However, traditional library preparation for RNA-Seq requires multiple steps, including shearing the target DNA/RNA and following sequential enzymatic reactions, which result in consequent sample loss and stochastic variation at each step. Such variation may significantly affect the output from sequencing. We have found that a new technique of library preparation using hyperactive Tn5 transposase for the next-generation sequencer of Illumina's platform provided high-quality libraries from 100ng of short-length (average 700~800 bp) single-cell level cDNA. This new method reduced the number of steps in the protocol, which resulted in improved reproducibility and reduced variation among the specimens. Two methods of library preparation (sonication, tagmentation with hyperactive Tn5 transposase) were compared in the case of RNA-Seq for single-cell level cDNA. Technical triplicates were used.

Large-scale low-cost NGS library preparation using a robust Tn5 purification and tagmentation protocol [polyA]

Project description:In recent years, tagmentation-based library preparation using a hyperactive version of the Tn5 transposase gained more and more popularity. The limited hands-on time, robustness and high efficiency of the method are essential for the processing of next-generation sequencing libraries form little input material like single cells or the processing of hundreds of samples simultaneously. The hyperactive Tn5 is commercially available (Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit), however, high-throughput experiments with hundreds of samples are costly. Here, we present a highly reproducible Tn5 transposase purification strategy via an N-terminal His6-Sumo3 tag and the workflow for the tagmentation-based NGS library preparation. We demonstrate that NGS libraries processed with the in-house produced Tn5 are of the same quality like those processed with the Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit and that the purification of the transposase is reproducible across institutes. Producing the Tn5 transposase in-house allows for customized experimental design and reduces costs of large-scale experiments dramatically. We describe a novel single cell polyadenylation site mapping protocol that benefits from the fact that the in-house produced Tn5 can be loaded with any desired linker oligonucleotide for tagmentation.

Dissecting the effect of a long linker DNA on protein binding to di-nucleosomes decorated with promoter-associated PTMs

Project description:Characteristic features of chromatin states are not limited to particular epigenetic modifications but include other regulatory cues, such as linker DNA length, typically ranging from around 35-55 bp in most eu- and heterochromatin domains (Valouev et al, 2011; Voong et al., 2016, Cell) to over 200 bp in nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) found at active enhancers and promoters (Schones et al, 2008; Hansen He et al, 2010). To investigate whether and how the nucleosome linker DNA affects chromatin recognition by nuclear proteins we performed a set of affinity purifications using di-nucleosomes incorporating different DNA linkers. Here, we investigated the effect of a 200 bp di-nucleosome linker DNA represented by scrambled DNA or SV40 promoter DNA sequence on the nuclear protein binding to di-nucleosome decorated with promoter-associated modifications, including H3K4me3K9acK14acK18acK23acK27ac, H4K5acK8acK12acK16acK20me2 and histone variant H2A.Z Below is a description (modifications and linker) of di-nucleosomes used in pull-downs with HeLa nuclear extracts followed by label-free MS: 1.

The nucleosome DNA entry-exit site is important for transcription termination and prevention of pervasive transcription

Project description:Compared to the initiation and elongation stages of transcription, the role of chromatin in transcription termination is poorly understood. Through a yeast genetic screen, we identified histone H3 and H4 substitutions that cause transcription to read through the terminator of a small noncoding gene. The substitutions map to the nucleosome DNA entry-exit site, a region that controls nucleosome stability and certain histone modifications. Genome-wide studies on the strongest mutants revealed evidence of transcription read-through of noncoding and coding genes and reduced nucleosome occupancy. Replacement of the native sequence downstream of a gene with a “superbinder” sequence that increases nucleosome occupancy in vivo increased termination efficiency and suppressed the effect of a DNA entry-exit site substitution at this locus. Our results highlight the importance of the DNA entry-exit site in maintaining the integrity of the transcriptome and suggest that nucleosomes can facilitate termination by serving as a barrier to RNA polymerase.

The esBAF and ISWI nucleosome remodeling complexes influence occupancy of overlapping dinucleosomes and fragile nucleosomes in murine embryonic stem cells

Project description:Nucleosome remodeling factors regulate the occupancy and positioning of nucleosomes genome-wide through ATP-driven DNA translocation. While many nucleosomes are well- and consistently positioned, some nucleosomes and nucleosome-like structures are more sensitive to nuclease digestion or transitory in nature. To better understand the role of nucleosome remodeling factors in generating and clearing these alternative nucleosome structures, we depleted murine embryonic stem cells of the remodeler ATPases BRG1 and SNF2H then performed MNase-seq in murine embryonic stem cells. We performed MNase-seq under high- and low-MNase conditions to assess the effects of nucleosome remodeling factors on nuclease-sensitive or “fragile” nucleosome occupancy. In parallel, we gel-extracted MNase-digested fragments to enrich for another alternative nucleosome structure, the overlapping dinucleosome. Overlapping dinucleosomes are composed of two canonical nucleosomes, asymmetrically lacking one H2A:H2B dimer and wrapped by ~250 bp of DNA. In vitro studies of nucleosome remodeling have suggested that the collision of adjacent nucleosomes by nucleosome sliding can stimulate formation of overlapping dinucleosomes. Using these methods, we were able to identify fragile nucleosomes and overlapping dinucleosomes near transcription start sites and gene-distal DNaseI hypersensitive sites in mouse embryonic stem cells, among other loci. We find that BRG1 consistently stimulates occupancy of fragile nucleosomes but represses occupancy of overlapping dinucleosomes through its nucleosome remodeling function, while SNF2H expression slightly increases fragile nucleosome occupancy.

BAT Hi-C maps global chromatin interactions in an efficient and economical way

Project description:We describe the Bridge linker-Alul-Tn5 Hi-C (BAT Hi-C) method, which is a simple and efficient method for delineating chromatin conformational features of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells and uncover DNA loops. This protocol combines Alul fragmentation and biotinylated linker-mediated proximity ligation to obtain kilobase (kb) resolution with a marked increase in the amount of unique read pairs. The protocol also includes chromatin isolation to reduce background noise and Tn5 tagmentation to cut down on preparation time.

Enhancing sensitivity and versatility of Tn5-based single cell omics VI

Project description:The analysis of chromatin features in single cells centers around the use of Tn5 transposase and exploits its activity to simultaneously fragment target DNA and integrate adapter sequences of choice. This reaction provides a direct readout in the transposase-accessible chromatin in single cells (scATAC-seq) assay to map open chromatin regions. Furthermore, by targeting Tn5 to antibody-bound chromatin epitopes, features like histone modifications can be mapped in single cells. Thus, enhancing Tn5 activity to improve genomic coverage for scATAC-seq or facilitating multi-omics readout of chromatin features via Tn5 together with the transcriptome is of great interest. Here, we address these issues by optimizing scATAC-seq for an increased number of integrations per cell. In addition, we provide a protocol that combines mapping of histone modification with scRNA-seq from the same cell. Our experimental workflows improve the results obtained from the downstream data analysis and serve to better resolve epigenetic heterogeneity and transcription regulation in single cells.
