NuA4 and H2A.Z control environmental responses and autotrophic growth in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: The nucleosomal acetyltransferase of H4 (NuA4) is an essential transcriptional coactivator in eukaryotes, though it remains poorly characterized in plants. Here, we describe Arabidopsis homologues of the NuA4 scaffold proteins Enhancer of Polycomb-Like1 (EPL1) and Esa1-Associated Factor1 (EAF1). Loss of AtEAF1 results in inhibition of growth and chloroplast development. These effects are stronger in the Atepl1 mutant and are further enhanced by loss of Golden2-Like (GLK) transcription factors suggesting that NuA4 activates nuclear plastidic genes alongside GLK. We demonstrate that AtEPL1 is necessary for nucleosomal acetylation of histones H4 and H2A.Z by NuA4 in vitro. These chromatin marks are diminished in Atepl1 genome-wide while another active chromatin mark H3K9ac is locally enhanced. Many chloroplast-related genes depend on NuA4 as they are downregulated with loss of H4ac and H2A.Z alone. Finally, we demonstrate that NuA4 promotes deposition of H2A.Z and by doing so prevents spurious activation of stress response genes.

A balancing act: Interactions within NuA4/TIP60 regulate picNuA4 function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans

Project description:The NuA4 lysine acetyltransferase complex acetylates histone and non-histone proteins and functions in transcription regulation, cell cycle progression, and DNA repair. NuA4 harbors an interesting duality in that its catalytic module can function independently and distinctly as picNuA4. At the molecular level, picNuA4 anchors to its bigger brother via physical interactions between the C-terminus of Epl1 and the HSA domain of Eaf1, the NuA4 central scaffolding subunit. This is reflected at the regulatory level, as picNuA4 can be liberated genetically from NuA4 by disrupting the Epl1-Eaf1 interaction. As such, removal of either Eaf1 or the Epl1 C-terminus offers a unique opportunity to elucidate the contributions of Eaf1 and Epl1 to NuA4 biology and in turn their roles in balancing picNuA4 and NuA4 activities. Using high-throughput genetic and gene expression profiling, and targeted functional assays to compare eaf1∆ and epl1-C∆ mutants, we found that EAF1 and EPL1 had both overlapping and distinct roles. Strikingly, loss of EAF1 or its HSA domain led to a significant decrease in the amount of picNuA4, while loss of the Epl1 C-terminus increased picNuA4 levels, suggesting starkly opposing effects on picNuA4 regulation. The eaf1∆ epl1-C∆ double mutants resembled the epl1-C∆ single mutants, indicating that Eaf1’s role in picNuA4 regulation depended on the Epl1 C-terminus. Key aspects of this regulation were evolutionary conserved, as truncating an Epl1 homolog in human cells increased the levels of other picNuA4 subunits. Our findings suggested a model in which distinct aspects of the Epl1-Eaf1 interaction regulated picNuA4 amount and activity.

Genetic dissection of NuA4-directed chromatin transactions throughout the S. cerevisiae genome

Project description:Acetylation of histone tails has long been associated with gene activation. Exactly how acetylation regulates gene expression is not fully known. Acetylation events at specific sites or collections of sites on histones elicit distinct outcomes. Here we examine the downstream consequences of histone acetylation by the histone H4 acetyltransferase NuA4 on a genomic scale. Evidence is presented that Bdf1, which is known to bind to acetylated lysine H4 tails in vitro, binds to nucleosomes in vivo and that this binding is dependent upon Esa1, the catalytic subunit of NuA4. Loss of NuA4 results in a coordinate depletion of Bdf1, the transcription complex assembly factor TFIID, and the H2A.Z assembly complex SWR-C at highly acetylated promoter regions. This finding is consistent with known interactions between Bdf1 and TFIID and SWR-C. Loss of Bdf1 results in little or no depletion of TFIID or SWR-C at these promoter regions, possibly due to substitution by the Bdf1 paralog Bdf2. Consistent with this possibility, loss of Bdf1 results in accumulation of Bdf2 at sites normally bound by Bdf1. Together, the findings presented here strengthen the proposed cascade of events whereby nucleosome H4 acetylation by NuA4 at promoters target Bdf1, which then recruits TFIID and SWR-C to assemble the transcription machinery.

Swc4 protects nucleosome-free rDNA, tDNA and telomere loci to inhibit genome instability

Project description:In the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, NuA4 and SWR1-C, two multisubunit complexes, are involved in histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling, respectively. Eaf1 is the assembly platform subunit of NuA4, Swr1 is the assembly platform and catalytic subunit of SWR1-C, while Swc4, Yaf9, Arp4 and Act1 form a functional module, and is present in both NuA4 and SWR1 complexes. ACT1 and ARP4 are essential for cell survival. Deletion of SWC4, but not YAF9, EAF1 or SWR1 results in a severe growth defect, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we show that swc4Δ, but not yaf9Δ, eaf1Δ, or swr1Δ cells display defects in DNA ploidy and chromosome segregation, suggesting that the defects observed in swc4Δ cells are independent of NuA4 or SWR1-C integrity. Swc4 is enriched in the nucleosome-free regions (NFRs) of the genome, including characteristic regions of RDN5s, tDNAs and telomeres, independently of Yaf9, Eaf1 or Swr1. In particular, rDNA, tDNA and telomere loci are more unstable and prone to recombination in the swc4Δ cells than in wild-type cells. Taken together, we conclude that the chromatin associated Swc4 protects nucleosome-free chromatin of rDNA, tDNA and telomere loci to ensure genome integrity.

Gene expression data of Arabidopsis thaliana yaf9a yaf9b double mutant seedlings

Project description:Post-translational histone modifications and the dynamics of histone variant H2A.Z are key mechanisms underlying the floral transition. In yeast, SWR1-C and NuA4-C mediate the deposition of H2A.Z and the acetylation of histone H4, H2A and H2A.Z respectively. Yaf9 is a subunit shared by both chromatin remodeling complexes. The significance of the two Arabidopsis YAF9 homologs, YAF9A and YAF9B, is unknown. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of wild-type and yaf9a yaf9b double mutant seedlings in order to reveal target genes whose transcription is regulated by YAF9 proteins.

Structural basis of H2A.Z recognition and H4K20 methylation by SUV420H2

Project description:DNA replication ensures the accurate transmission of genetic information during cell cycle. The interaction between histone methyltransferase SUV420H1 and histone variant H2A.Z plays a critical role in the licensing of early replication origins. However, the mechanism by which SUV420H1 preferentially recognizes H2A.Z-nucleosome and deposits H4 lysine 20 dimethylation (H4K20me2) on DNA replication origins remains elusive. Here, we determined the cryo-EM structures of SUV420H1 bound to H2A.Z-nucleosome or H2A-nucleosome. Our structures show that the SUV420H1 catalytic domain (CD) directly interacts with histone H4 and nucleosomal DNA, whereas a SUV420H1 arginine-rich motif (ARM) anchors to the acidic patch of the nucleosome. The N-terminal aminal acid residues of H4 (Aa 1-24) forms a lasso-shaped structure sandwiched between SUV420H1 CD and nucleosome. The lasso-shaped structure stabilizes the SUV420H1-nucleosome interaction and precisely projects the H4 K20 residue into the SUV420H1 catalytic center. Further analyses revealed a crucial role of SUV420H1 KR-loop (aminal acid residues 214-223), which spatially lies closely to H2A.Z specific residues D97/S98, in dictating the preference for H2A.Z-nucleosome. SUV420H1 K219A/R220A mutations reduced the activity of SUV420H1 for H4K20me2 modification, the preference of SUV420H1 for H2A.Z-nucleosome, and the efficiency of DNA replication initiation. Collectively, our findings elucidate how SUV420H1 preferentially recognizes H2A.Z-nucleosome to deposit H4K20me2 modification and shed light on therapeutic strategies targeting the DNA replication initiation.

The Arabidopsis NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex is required for chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis. [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Although two Enhancer of Polycomb-like proteins, EPL1A and EPL1B (EPL1A/B), are known to be conserved and characteristic subunits of the NuA4-type histone acetyltransferase complex in Arabidopsis thaliana, the biological function of EPL1A/B and the mechanism by which EPL1A/B function in the complex remain unknown. Here, we report that EPL1A/B are required for the histone acetyltransferase activity of the NuA4 complex on the nucleosomal histone H4 in vitro and for the enrichment of histone H4K5 acetylation at thousands of protein-coding genes in vivo. We demonstrate that EPL1A/B are required for linking the NuA4 catalytic subunit HAM1 with accessory subunits in the NuA4 complex. EPL1A/B function redundantly in regulating plant development especially in chlorophyll biosynthesis and de-etiolation. The EPL1A/B-dependent transcription and H4K5Ac are enriched at genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis. We also find that EAF6, another characteristic subunit of the NuA4 complex, contribute to de-etiolation. These results suggest that the Arabidopsis NuA4 complex components function as a whole to mediate histone acetylation and transcriptional activation specifically at light-responsive genes and are critical for photomorphogenesis.
