Phase separation directs ubiquitination of gene body nucleosomes

ABSTRACT: The conserved yeast E3 ligase Bre1 and its partner E2 Rad6 monoubiquitinate histone H2B across gene bodies during the transcription cycle. While processive ubiquitination might in principle arise from Bre1/Rad6 traveling with RNA polymerase II, we provide a different explanation. Here we implicate liquid-liquid phase separation as the underlying mechanism. Biochemical reconstitution shows that Bre1 binds the scaffold protein Lge1, whose intrinsically disordered region phase separates via dynamic, multivalent interactions. The resulting condensates comprise a core of Lge1 encapsulated by an outer catalytic shell of Bre1. This layered liquid recruits Rad6 and the nucleosomal substrate, accelerating H2B ubiquitination. In vivo, the condensate-forming region of Lge1 is required to ubiquitinate H2B in gene bodies beyond the +1 nucleosome. Our data suggest that layered condensates of histone modifying enzymes generate chromatin-associated reaction chambers with augmented catalytic activity along gene bodies. Equivalent processes may occur in human cells, causing neurological disease when impaired.

Effect of Rad6 backside beta-turn mutations on the chromatin occupancy of the histone H2B ubiquitin-conjugating complex subunits

Project description:Rad6 E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and Bre1 E3 ubiquitin ligase catalyze histone H2B Lysine-123 monoubiquitination (H2Bub1), which stabilizes nucleosomes and regulates the trans-histone H3K4 and K79 methylation during gene transcription and other nuclear processes. The interaction interfaces within the Rad6-Bre1-containing H2B ubiquitin-conjugating complex has remained unknown. By solving the crystal structure of Rad6 along with a non-RING domain N-terminal region of Bre1, we report a beta-turn in Rad6's so-called backside region away from catalytic pocket as a binding site for a homodimer of Bre1 E3 ligase. Using quantitative ChIP-seq or ChIP-Rx, we further demonstrate that Rad6's backside beta-turn residues also govern the chromatin binding dynamics of the Rad6-Bre1 complex.

The Histone Modification Domain of Paf1 Complex Subunit Rtf1 Promotes H2B Ubiquitylation Through a Direct Interaction with the Ubiquitin Conjugase Rad6

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II is regulated by epigenetic modifications to the chromatin template. The mono-ubiquitylation of H2B is established during transcription elongation and broadly impacts chromatin architecture and gene expression. The Polymerase Associated Factor 1 complex (Paf1C) is required for H2B ubiquitylation through an unknown mechanism. Here, we find that a 66-amino acid histone modification domain (HMD) within the Rtf1 subunit of Paf1C promotes H2B ubiquitylation in cells lacking all Paf1C members and present the crystal structure of this domain. Using site-specific in vivo crosslinking, we show that Rtf1 directly interacts with the ubiquitin conjugase Rad6 through a conserved surface on the HMD. Through ChIP-exo analysis, we observe that enrichment of Paf1C correlates with H2B ubiquitylation, and that the HMD, Rad6 and Bre1 localize to H2B. Finally, we demonstrate that the HMD directly stimulates H2B ubiquitylation in a reconstituted system, arguing that Paf1C functions as a cofactor for Rad6-Bre1 mediated catalysis.

Chromatin recruitment of Rad6 determines H3K4me3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Project abstract : The trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is a crucial factor in defining the promoter regions of active genes in all eukaryotes ranging from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) to humans. In budding yeast, this trimethylation process facilitated by the Set1 complex results in H3K4me3 requiring a prior mono-ubiquitination at the histone H2BK123 residue (H2Bub) by E2 enzyme Rad6 and E3 enzyme Bre1. A previous in vitro study suggested that ubiquitinated H2B directly facilitates H3K4me3. However, even low levels of global H2Bub is sufficient for the required H3K4me3 in yeast cells, thereby indicating that other factors resulting in the H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3 remain unknown. This study revealed the high level of correlation of H3K4me3 with chromatin recruitment of Rad6 at the genome-wide level. Rad6 is confirmd to interact and co-localize with Swd2/Cps35, a key factor for the H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3 in genes with high levels of H3K4me3 and intronic genes rather than non-intronic genes. This study therefore provides a mechanistic insight of the H2Bub-Rad6- Swd2/Cps35-H3K4me3 axis and its potential role in RNA biogenesis.

Context Dependency of Set1/COMPASS Mediated H3 Lysine 4 Trimethylation

Project description:The stimulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) has been widely studied with multiple mechanisms proposed for this form of histone crosstalk. Cps35/Swd2 within COMPASS is considered to bridge these processes. However, a truncated form of Set1 (762-Set1) is reported to function in H3K4 trimethylation without interacting with Cps35/Swd2, and such crosstalk is attributed to the n-SET domain of Set1 and its interaction with the Cps40/Spp1 subunit of COMPASS. Here, we use biochemical, structural, in vivo, and ChIP-seq approaches to demonstrate that Cps40/Spp1 and the n-SET domain of Set1 are required for the stability of Set1 and not the crosstalk. Furthermore, the apparent wild-type levels of H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the 762-Set1 strain is due to rogue methylase activity of this mutant resulting in the mislocalization of H3K4me3 from the promoter-proximal regions to gene bodies and intergenic regions. We have also performed detailed screens and identified yeast strains lacking H2Bub, but containing intact H2Bub enzymes, that have normal levels of H3K4me3, suggesting that ubiquitination may not directly stimulate COMPASS, but rather works in a context of the PAF and Rad6/Bre1 complexes. Our study demonstrates that the ubiquitination machinery and Cps35/Swd2 function to focus COMPASS’ H3K4me3 activity at promoter-proximal regions in a context dependent manner.

Swd2/Cps35 determines H3K4 tri-methylation via interactions with Set1 and Rad6_H3K4me3 ChIPseq in WT and several strains

Project description:Histone H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) catalyzed by Set1/COMPASS, is a prominent epigenetic mark found in promoter-proximal regions of actively transcribed genes. H3K4me3 relies on prior monoubiquitination at the histone H2B (H2Bub) by Rad6 and Bre1. Swd2/Cps35, a Set1/COMPASS component, has been proposed as a key player in facilitating H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3. However, a more comprehensive investigation regarding the relationship among Rad6, Swd2 and Set1 is required to further understand the mechanisms and functions of the H3K4 methylation. We investigated the genome-wide occupancy patterns of Rad6, Swd2 and Set1 under various genetic conditions, aiming to clarify the roles of Set1 and Rad6 for occupancy of Swd2. Swd2 peaks appear on both 5’region and 3’region of genes, which are overlapped with its tightly bound two complexes, Set1 and CPF (Cleavage and Polyadenylation Factor), respectively. In the absence of Rad6/H2Bub, Set1 predominantly localized to the 5ʹ region of genes, while Swd2 lost all the chromatin binding. However, in the absence of Set1, Swd2 occupancy near the 5’region was impared and rather increased in the 3’ region. This study highlights that catalytic activity of Rad6 is essential for all the ways of Swd2’s binding to the transcribed genes and Set1 redistributes the Swd2 to 5’region for accomplishments of H3K4me3 in the genome-wide level.

Co-dependency of H2B monoubiquitination and nucleosome re-assembly on Chd1

Project description:Monoubiquitination of histone H2B on lysine 123 (H2BK123ub) is a transient histone modification considered to be essential for establishing H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation by Set1/COMPASS and Dot1, respectively. Many of the factors such as Rad6/Bre1, the Paf1 complex, and the Bur1/Bur2 complex were identified to be required for proper histone H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation, and were shown to function by regulating H2BK123ub levels. Here, we have identified Chd1 as a factor that is required for proper maintenance of H2B monoubiquitination levels, but not for H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Loss of Chd1 results in a substantial loss of H2BK123ub levels with little to no effect on the genome-wide pattern of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Our data shows that nucleosomal occupancy is reduced in gene bodies in both CHD1 null and K123A backgrounds. We have also demonstrated that Chd1’s function in maintaining H2BK123ub levels is conserved from yeast to human. Our study provides evidence that only small levels of H2BK123ub are necessary for full levels of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation in vivo, and points to a role for Chd1 in positively regulating gene expression through promoting nucleosome re-assembly coupled with H2B monoubiquitination.
