S. pombe genome-wide nucleosome mapping reveals positioning mechanisms distinct from S. cerevisiae

ABSTRACT: Positioned nucleosomes limit the access of proteins to DNA and implement regulatory features encoded in eukaryotic genomes. Here we generated the first genome-wide nucleosome positioning map for Schizosaccharomyces pombe and annotated transcription start and termination sites genome-wide. Using this resource we found surprising differences compared to the nucleosome organization in the distantly related yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [the cerevisiae data has been published by others (PMID: 17873876) and the raw data is deposited at ArrayExpress(E-MEXP-1172)]. DNA sequence guides nucleosome positioning differently, e.g., poly(dA:dT) elements are not enriched in S. pombe nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). Regular nucleosomal arrays emanate more asymmetrically, i.e., mainly co-directionally with transcription, from promoter NDRs, but promoters harbouring the histone variant H2A.Z show regular arrays also upstream. Regular nucleosome phasing in S. pombe has a very short repeat length of 154 base pairs, and requires a remodeler, Mit1, conserved in humans but not found in S. cerevisiae. Nucleosome positioning mechanisms are evidently not universal but evolutionarily plastic.

Nucleosome profiles in strains with different inter-NDR distances at HML

Project description:Heterochromatin is a complex structure comprised of nucleosome arrays that are bound by silencing factors. This composition suggests that certain configurations of nucleosome arrays are permissible for heterochromatic silencing. We tested this idea in S. cerevisiae by systematically altering the distance between heterochromatic Nucleosome Depleted Regions (NDRs), which is predicted to affect local nucleosome positioning by limiting how nucleosomes can be packed between NDRs. Consistent with this prediction, some inter-NDR distances led to poorly positioned nucleosome arrays within heterochromatin. Furthermore, these conditions that caused poor nucleosome positioning also led to defects in both heterochromatin stability and the ability of cells to generate and inherit a silenced transcriptional state. These findings strongly suggest that nucleosome positioning contributes to formation and maintenance of functional heterochromatin.

CHD1 remodelers space nucleosomes in vitro and link regular arrays to 5’ ends of genes in S. Pombe

Project description:Nucleosome positioning governs access to eukaryotic genomes. Many genes show a stereotypic organisation at their 5’ end: a nucleosome free region just upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) followed by a regular nucleosomal array over the coding region. The determinants for this pervasive pattern are unclear, but nucleosome remodeling ATPases likely are critical. Now we employ deletion mutants to study the role of nucleosome remodeling ATPases in global nucleosome positioning in S. pombe and the corresponding changes in expression patterns. We find a striking evolutionary shift in remodeling enzyme usage between budding and fission yeast. The S. pombe RSC remodeling complex seems not involved in nucleosome positioning, despite its prominent role in S. cerevisiae. While lacking ISWI-type remodelers, S. pombe has two CHD1-type ATPases, Hrp1 and Hrp3. We demonstrate nucleosome spacing activity for both in vitro, and together they are essential for linking regular genic arrays to most TSSs in vivo. Impaired chromatin may but need not lead to changes in transcription. The absence of both causes changed expression for about 20% and increased antisense transcription for 15% of all annotated elements.

Chromatin architectures at fission yeast transcriptional promoters and replication origins

Project description:We have used micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion followed by deep sequencing in order to obtain a higher-resolution map than previously available of nucleosome positions in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Our data confirm an unusually short average nucleosome repeat length, ~152 bp, in fission yeast and that transcriptional start sites (TSSs) are associated with nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs), ordered nucleosome arrays downstream and less regularly spaced upstream nucleosomes. In addition, we found enrichments for associated function in four of eight groups of genes clustered according to chromatin configurations near TSSs. At replication origins, our data revealed asymmetric localization of Pre-Replication Complex (pre-RC) proteins within large NDRsM-bM-^@M-^Ta feature that is conserved in fission and budding yeast and is therefore likely to be conserved in other eukaryotic organisms.

Nucleosomal organization of replication origins and meiotic recombination hotspots in fission yeast

Project description:In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, DNA replication origins (ORIs) and meiotic recombination hotspots lack consensus sequences and show a bias towards mapping at large intergenic regions (IGRs). To explore whether this preference depended on underlying chromatin features, we have generated genome-wide nucleosome profiles during mitosis and meiosis. We have found that meiotic double-strand break sites (DSB) colocalize strictly with nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) and that large IGRs include clusters of NDRs that overlap with almost half of all DSBs. By contrast, ORIs do not colocalize with NDRs and they are regulated independently of DSBs. Physical relocation of NDRs at ectopic loci or modification of their genomic distribution during meiosis was paralleled by the generation of new DSB sites. Over 80% of all meiotic DSBs colocalize with NDRs that are also present during mitosis, indicating that the recombination pattern is largely dependent on constitutive properties of the genome and, to a lesser extent, on the transcriptional profile during meiosis. The organization of ORIs and of DSBs regions in S. pombe reveals similarities and differences relative to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Refined mechanism of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions resetting after replication

Project description:Replication disrupts chromatin organization. Thus, rapid resetting of nucleosome positioning is essential to maintain faithful gene expression. The initial step of this reconfiguration occurs at Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). While studies have elucidated the role of Transcription Factors (TFs) and Chromatin Remodelers (CRs) in vitro or in maintaining NDRs in vivo, none has addressed their in vivo function shortly after replication. Through purification of nascent chromatin coupled with yeast genetics, we dissected the choreography of events governing the proper positioning of the -1/+1 nucleosomes flanking promoter NDRs. Our findings reveal that CRs are the primary contributors of -1/+1 repositioning post-replication, with RSC acting upstream of INO80. Surprisingly, while Reb1 and Abf1 TFs are not essential for NDR resetting, they are required for NDR maintenance via the promotion of H3 acetylations. Taken together, we propose a two-step model for NDR resetting in S. cerevisiae: first, CRs alone reset promoter NDRs after replication, while a combination of TFs and CRs is required for subsequent maintenance.

Dynamics of yeast ISWI and CHD chromatin remodeler genomic association (part 2)

Project description:Chromatin remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, yeast ISWI and CHD remodelers require > 20 bp of extranucleosomal DNA for remodeling, but linker DNA in S. cerevisiae averages < 20 bp. To resolve this paradox, we have mapped the genomic distributions of the yeast Isw1, Isw2, and Chd1 remodelers at base-pair resolution. Surprisingly, remodelers are highly enriched at promoter nucleosome depleted regions (5' NDRs), where they bind to regions of extended linker DNA. Remodelers are also enriched in the bodies of genes displaying high nucleosome turnover. We hypothesize that remodelers bind but do not act at 5' NDRs, remaining in physical proximity to gene bodies, where they act on regions of transient nucleosome depletion following transcriptional elongation.

The Mi-2 homolog, Mit1, actively positions nucleosomes within heterochromatic domains to suppress transcription

Project description:Nucleosome positioning is both active and passive and regulates access to the genome for replication, transcription and repair. Here we report that Mit1, a subunit of the fission yeast SHREC complex similar to Mi-2/NuRD, regulates transcription at regions of heterochromatin by positioning nucleosomes to preclude access to RNA Polymerase II. Purified Mit1 is a nucleosome remodeling factor capable of mobilizing histone octamers on short DNA fragments and requires ATP hydrolysis and chromatin tethering domains to remodel nucleosomes and silence transcription. We propose that SHREC is recruited to heterochromatin to mobilize nucleosomes onto unfavorable positions to prevent spurious transcription within heterochromatin.
