Project description:Linker histones are involved in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure. Although linker histones have been implicated in the regulation of specific genes, it still remains unclear what their principal binding determinants are and how their repressive function in vitro can be reconciled with presumed broad binding in vivo. We generated a full genome, high resolution binding map of linker histone H1 in Drosophila Kc cells, using DamID. H1 binds at similar levels across much of the genome, both in classical euchromatin and heterochromatin. Strikingly, there are pronounced dips of low H1 occupancy around transcription start sites of active genes and at many distant cis-regulatory sites. H1 dips are not due to lack of nucleosomes. Rather, all regions with low binding of H1 show enrichment of the histone variant H3.3 which itself has been linked to high nucleosome turnover. Upon knockdown of H3.3, we find that H1 levels increase at sites previously not covered with H1 with a concomitant increase in nucleosome repeat length. These changes are independent of transcriptional changes. Our results show that the H3.3 protein counteracts association of H1 at genomic sites with high rates of histone turnover. This antagonism provides a mechanism to keep diverse genomic sites in an open chromatin conformation. For this study, we generated DamID profiles of histone H1 and RpII18 in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Additionally, we generated H1 profiles in cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, or H3.3A and H3.3B. Nucleosome occupancy profiles were generated in untreated cells and cells treated with RNAi against white or H3.3A and H3.3B. Profiles of expression changes were generated for H3.3B RNAi and H3.3A and H3.3B RNAi. DamID experiments for H1 and RpII18 were performed in Drosophila cell cultures. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing. Formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatotry elements (FAIRE) was performed in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing over non-crosslinked genomic DNA. Nucleosome positioning profiles were made by hybridizing mononucleosomal DNA over MNase digested purified genomic DNA on 380k NimbleGen arrays with 10 bp probe spacing. Expression profiles were made as H3.3 RNAi over white RNAi cohybridizations on spotted INDAC long oligo arrays. Every experiment was done in duplicate in the reverse dye orientation.

Project description:Decoding the role of histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is key to understand the fundamental process of epigenetic regulation. While this process is well studied for core histones and many of their PTMs, this is not the case for linker histone H1 in general and its ubiquitylation in particular due to a lack of proper tools. Here, we report on the generation of site-specifically mono-ubiquitylated H1.2 via click chemistry and identify its ubiquitin-dependent interactome on a proteome-wide scale. We show that the H1 interactome is generally modulated by ubiquitylation and that site-specific ubiquitylation results in overlapping, but distinct interactomes. We further demonstrate that site-specific ubiquitylation of H1 affects the interaction with enzymes relevant for deubiquitylation and deacetylation. We finally show that site-specific ubiquitylation at position K64 impacts H1-dependent chromatosome assembly as well as H1-induced phase separation. In summary, we propose that site-specific ubiquitylation plays a general regulatory role for linker histone H1.

Project description:NAP - neuroprotective peptide demonstrates increase in neuronal survival when injected into the hippocampus of rats in the model of epilepsy Microarray analysis was used to understand the expression of genes following KA treatment and the changes in gene expression following KA+NAP treatment Keywords: stress response KA was injected into the hippocampus of Sprague-Dawley rats. The other group of rats was injected with KA and NAP(10-13M). The third group was injected with NAP only and the last group was injected with PBS as a vehicle. CA3 area of hippocampus was removed 24h later and RNA extraction was done. The samples were subjected to microarray analysis.

Project description:Drosophila dosage compensation is an epigenetic phenomenon in which the transcription of most genes on X-chromosome is enhanced by approximately two folds in males to equalize that in females. In this study, we provide evidence that transcriptional repressors, such as HP1 and linker histone H1, are globally reduced on male X chromosome. We further investigated the role of HP1 and linker H1 on X chromosome dosage compensation using flies with overexpression of HP1 and H1, we demonstrate that these repressors surpress H4K16 acetylation, presence of the elongating RNA Pol II and the transcription of the genes on male X chromosomes. To understand how H1 and HP1 are regulated on male X chromosome, we next explored the relationship between MOF and the two repressors of chromatin. We show that the hyperacetylation of H4K16 induced by MOF resulted in the loss of H1 and HP1 on chromatin and global chromatin decondensation. Our biochemical analysis further shows that the presence of acetylation on histone H4 at lysine 16 directly inhibits the interaction between histone H4 and linker H1. This study therefore provides novel clues on understanding the dynamic regulation of chromatin regulators on male X chromosome dosage compensation.
