The deposition of CENH3 is stringently regulated in Maize

ABSTRACT: The centromere, as an essential element to control chromosome segregation, is epigenetically determined by CENH3-containing nucleosomes as a functional marker, therefore the accurate deposition of CENH3 is crucial to chromosome transmission. We characterized the deposition of CENH3 in maize by over-expression and mutational analysis. Our results revealed that over-expressing CENH3 in callus is lethal while over-expressing GFP-CENH3 and CENH3-YFP in callus and plants is not and can be partly deposited normally. Different mutations of GFP-CENH3 demonstrated that CENH3-Thr4 in the N terminus was needed for the deposition as a positive phosphorylation site and the last five amino acids in the C terminus are necessary for deposition. The C terminal tail of CENH3 is confirmed to be responsible for the interaction of CENH3 and histone H4, which indicates that CENH3 maintains deposition in centromeres via interacting with H4 to form stable nucleosomes. For GFP-CENH3 and CENH3-YFP, the fused tags at the termini probably affect the structure of CENH3 and reduce its interaction with other proteins, which in turn could decrease proper deposition. Taken together, multiple amino acids or motifs were shown to play essential roles in CENH3 deposition, which is suggested to be affected by numerous factors in maize.

Analysis of gene expression by RNA Seq in mutants of Psh1, Cac2, or the double mutant relative to WT upon overexpression of Cse4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Correct localization of the centromeric histone variant CenH3/CENP-A/Cse4 is an important part of faithful chromosome segregation. Mislocalization of CenH3 could lead to ectopic centromere formation and missegregation, and could affect DNA replication and transcription. CENP-A is often overexpressed and mislocalized in cancer genomes, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. One major regulator of Cse4 deposition is Psh1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls levels of Cse4 to prevent deposition into noncentromeric regions. We present evidence that Chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1), an evolutionarily conserved histone H3/H4 chaperone shown previously to interact with CenH3 in flies and human cells, regulates Cse4 deposition in budding yeast. Yeast CAF-1 (yCAF-1) is a heterotrimeric protein complex consisting of CAC1, CAC2, and CAC3, which interacts with Cse4, and can assemble Cse4 nucleosomes in vitro. yCAF-1 regulates the stability of both soluble and chromatin associated Cse4. Loss of yCAF-1 can rescue growth defects and changes in gene expression associated with Cse4 deposition that occur in the absence of Psh1-mediated proteolysis. Incorporation of Cse4 into promoter nucleosomes at transcriptionally active genes depends on yCAF-1. Overall our findings suggest CAF-1 can act as a CenH3 chaperone, regulating levels and incorporation of CenH3 in chromatin. Furthermore, the misincorporation of CenH3 at promoter regions may have negative consequences for gene expression.

Structure, composition and evolution of the nonvital B chromosome of maize

Project description:To determine the centromere of the maize B chromosome, we used previously published anti-CENH3-ChIP-seq data from TB-9Sb, which contain a complete functional B centromere. Distribution of centromere-specific DNA repeats, including CentC, CRM element and B-repeat, were observed in the proximal end of the assembled maize B chromosome, and this region was shown to be associated with CENH3 nucleosomes. Furthermore, six small scaffolds with sizes ranging from 10 to 174 kilobase display CENH3 enrichment, also with the distribution of these repeat sequences. These results were consistent with previously cytogenetic observation. Therefore, approximately 520 kb centromeric regions were determined in the assembled maize B chromosome.

Genome-wide maps of WT and over-expressing CenH3/CENP-A in Human HeLa S3 cells

Project description:Centromeres are essential to ensure proper chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Their definition relies on the presence of a centromere-specific H3 histone variant CenH3, known as CENP-A in mammals. Its overexpression in aggressive cancers raises questions concerning its effect on chromatin dynamics and contribution to tumorigenesis. We find that CenH3 overexpression in human cells leads to ectopic enrichment at sites of active histone turnover. Furthermore, in over-expressing conditions, we see the formation of a novel heterotypic particle (CenH3-H4/H3.3-H4) that occludes CTCF binding, but this occlusion has only a minor effect on gene expression. Ectopic localization and CTCF occlusion depends on the H3.3 chaperone DAXX, rather than its dedicated chaperone HJURP. This DAXX-dependent occlusion also occurs in naturally overexpressing cancer cells. Furthermore, our cellular model reveals a DAXX-dependent survival advantage when challenged by DNA damage. Our findings illustrate how changes in histone variant levels can disrupt chromatin dynamics in disease and provides a possible mechanism for cell resistance to anti-cancer treatments. Examination of CenH3 ChIP-seq and RNA-seq transcriptional programs in two conditions - WT and CenH3 over-expressing.

The CentO satellite confers translational and rotational phasing on cenH3 nucleosomes in rice centromeres

Project description:Plant and animal centromeres comprise megabases of highly repeated satellite sequences, yet centromere function can be specified epigenetically on single-copy DNA by the presence of nucleosomes containing a centromere-specific variant of histone H3 (cenH3). We determined the positions of cenH3 nucleosomes in rice (Oryza sativa), which has centromeres composed of both the 155-bp CentO repeat and single-copy non-CentO sequences. We find that cenH3 nucleosomes protect 90-100 bp of DNA from micrococcal nuclease digestion, sufficient for only a single wrap of DNA around the cenH3 nucleosome core. cenH3 nucleosomes are translationally phased with 155-bp periodicity on CentO repeats, but not on non-CentO sequences. CentO repeats have a ~10-bp periodicity in WW dinucleotides and in micrococcal nuclease cleavage, providing evidence for rotational phasing of cenH3 nucleosomes on CentO, and suggesting that satellites evolve for translational and rotational stabilization of centromeric nucleosomes.

Control pull-downs testing the effect of histone native chemical ligation on protein binding to di-nucleosomes

Project description:Here we examined whether histones H3 and H4 produced using native chemical ligation reaction affect protein binding to di-nucleosomes. To test this we performed a set of affinity purification pull-downs using di-nucleosomes containing the following histones H3 and H4: 1. ligated unmodified histone H3 and recombinant wild type histone H4 (unmod. H3), 2. recombinant wild type histone H3 and ligated unmodified histone H4 (unmod. H4) 3. ligated unmodified histones H3 and H4 (unmod. H3&H4). 4. recombinant wild type histones H3 and H4 (WT) Each pull-down was performed in three replicates. Co-purified proteins were quantified using label-free MS. Note that ligated histones H3 and H4 contain T32C or I29C single amino acid substitutions, respectively, that are introduced by the native chemical ligation procedure. In addition, ligated histone H4 is N-terminally acetylated to mimic its naturally blocked N-terminus.

Tripartite organization of centromeric chromatin in budding yeast

Project description:The centromere is the genetic locus that organizes the proteinaceous kinetochore and is responsible for attachment of the chromosome to the spindle at mitosis and meiosis. In most eukaryotes, the centromere consists of highly repetitive DNA sequences that are occupied by nucleosomes containing the CenH3 histone variant, whereas in budding yeast, an ~120-bp Centromere DNA Element (CDE) that is sufficient for centromere function is occupied by a single right-handed CenH3 (Cse4) nucleosome. However, these in vivo observations are inconsistent with in vitro evidence for left-handed octameric CenH3 nucleosomes. To help resolve these inconsistencies, we characterized yeast centromeric chromatin at single base-pair resolution. Intact particles containing both Cse4 and H2A are precisely protected from micrococcal nuclease over the entire CDE of all 16 yeast centromeres in both solubilized chromatin and the insoluble kinetochore. Small DNA-binding proteins protect CDEI and CDEIII and delimit the centromeric nucleosome to the ~80-bp CDEII, only enough for a single DNA wrap. As expected for a tripartite organization of centromeric chromatin, loss of Cbf1 protein, which binds to CDEI, both reduces the size of the centromere-protected region and shifts its location towards CDEIII. Surprisingly, Cse4 overproduction caused genome-wide misincorporation of non-functional CenH3-containing nucleosomes that protect ~135 base pairs and are preferentially enriched at sites of high nucleosome turnover. Our detection of two forms of CenH3 nucleosomes in the yeast genome, a singly wrapped particle at the functional centromere and octamer-sized particles on chromosome arms, reconcile seemingly conflicting in vivo and in vitro observations. We used micrococcal nuclease mapping, chromatin immunoprecipitation and paired-end sequencing to determine the structure of yeast centromeres at single base-pair resolution.
