Project description:Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. mRNA species bound to membrane-associated polysomes were separated from other mRNAs by sedimentation equilibrium or sedimentation velocity. The distribution of individual transcripts in the 'membrane-bound' and 'cytosolic' fractions was quantitated for thousands of genes by hybridization to DNA microarrays. Transcripts known to encode secreted or membrane proteins were enriched in the membrane-bound fractions, whereas those known to encode cytoplasmic proteins were enriched in the fractions containing mRNAs associated with free and cytoplasmic ribosomes. On this basis, we identified over 275 human genes and 285 yeast genes that are likely to encode previously unrecognized secreted or membrane proteins. Computed

Project description:H1 linker histones are the most abundant chromatin binding proteins. Their association with chromatin determines the spacing between nucleosomes and enables arrays of nucleosomes to fold into more compact chromatin structures. Mammals express multiple H1 proteins and are able to compensate for the loss of one or even two members by increasing synthesis of other members to maintain a constant H1 to nucleosome stoichiometry. To study the role of H1 in mammalian development, we generated a conditional triple H1 knockout (H1cTKO) mouse strain that enables depletion of H1 in specific cell types. Here, we report on the effects of depleting H1 in adult hematopoietic cells. Deletion of the genes encoding three widely expressed H1 subtypes (H1c, H1d, and H1e) has particularly profound effects on B- and T- lymphocyte development. H1 depletion leads to de-repression of T-cell activation genes, and a shift in T-cells towards effector functions, a process that mimics normal T-cell activation. Comparison of chromatin structure in normal and H1-depleted CD8+ T-cells revealed that H1 binding produces localized chromatin compaction within spatially defined chromatin domains containing above average levels of H1. Reduction of H1 stoichiometry in these regions leads to decreases in H3K27 methylation and increases in H3K36 methylation. In vitro, H1 promotes PRC2-mediated H3K27 methylation and inhibits NSD2-mediated H3K36 methylation. Mechanistically, H1 mediates these opposite effects by promoting physical compaction of the chromatin substrate. These findings identify H1 as a critical regulator of the epigenetic landscape in mammalian cells.

Project description:Polycomb group proteins play a critical role in silencing transcription during development. It is commonly proposed that Polycomb dependent changes in genome folding, which compact chromatin, contribute directly to repression by blocking binding of activating complexes. Recently, it has also been argued that liquid-liquid demixing of Polycomb proteins facilitates this compaction and repression by phase-separating target genes into a membraneless compartment. To test these models, we utilized Optical Reconstruction of Chromatin Architecture (ORCA) to trace the Hoxa gene cluster, a canonical Polycomb target, in thousands of single cells. Across multiple cell types, we find that Polycomb-bound chromatin frequently explores decompact states and partial mixing with neighboring chromatin, while remaining uniformly repressed, challenging the repression-by-compaction or phase-separation models. Using polymer simulations, we show that these observed flexible ensembles can be explained by “spatial feedback”: transient contacts that contribute to propagation of the epigenetic state, (epigenetic memory) without inducing a globular organization.

Project description:The Microrchidia (MORC) family proteins are evolutionarily conserved GHKL type ATPases involved in chromatin compaction and gene silencing. Arabidopsis MORC proteins act in the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway where they act as molecular tethers to ensure the efficient establishment of RdDM and de novo gene silencing. However, they also have RdDM independent functions in which the underlying mechanism is unknown. In this study, we examined MORC binding regions that are devoid of RdDM to shed light on MORCs RdDM independent functions. We found that MORC proteins can compact chromatin, exclude the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors (TFs) and thereby repress gene expression. We also found that MORC-mediated repression is particularly important under stress conditions. In addition, we showed that MORC proteins may regulate TFs through direct or indirect interactions. These TFs in turn regulate their own transcription, indicating a feedforward loop. Our findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of MORC-mediated chromatin compaction and transcription regulation.
