Project description:N6-methyladenosine modification (m6A) fine-tunes RNA fate in a variety of ways, thus regulating multiple fundamental biological processes. m6A writers bind to chromatin and interact with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription. To evaluate how the dynamics of the transcription process impact m6A deposition, we studied RNAPII elongation rates in mouse embryonic stem cells with altered chromatin configurations, due to reductions in linker histone H1 content. We found that genes transcribed at slow speed are preferentially methylated and display unique signatures at their promoter region, namely high levels of histone H1, together with marks of bivalent chromatin and low RNAPII pausing. They are also highly susceptible to m6A loss upon histone H1 reduction. These results indicate that RNAPII velocity links chromatin structure and the deposition of m6A, highlighting the intricate relationship between different regulatory layers on nascent mRNA molecules.

Project description:Nucleosome composition actively contribute to the chromatin structure and accessibility. To preserve chromatin state during replication, transcription and DNA repair, cells have evolved mechanisms to evict or recycle histones, generating a landscape of differentially aged nucleosomes. To map the stability of nucleosomes, we have adapted the recombination induced tag exchange (RITE) method to Schizosaccharomyces pombe histone H3. The RITE method allows us to study replication-independent protein turnover both through the occurrence of, in our case, new histone H3 and the disappearance or preservation of old histone H3. We contrast the RITE system to nucleosome turnover measured by chromatin incorporation of an epitope-tagged H3 under an inducible promoter. We confirm previous findings that stable nucleosomes are found at heterochromatin, but also at coding regions of actively transcribed genes. Genome-wide comparisons with several chromatin marks showed that high turnover nucleosomes correlate with H2A.Z, acetylated H4 and H3K4me2. The histones with high turnover are primarily found at the nucleosomes on the 5´and/or 3´ edges of the transcribed unit. In addition, in this study we have determined genome-wide maps of all three methylation marks at H4K20. All methylation of H4K20 appeared in low turnover nucleosomes and particularly in euchromatic regions. H4K20me1 marks stable nucleosomes at loci proximal to nucleosome depleted regions (NDR) and H4K20me2/3 were found further inside of transcribed units, especially at coding regions of long genes expressed at low levels. Further, this transcription-dependent accumulation of histone methylations was dependent on the histone chaperone complex FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription), as predicited from its role in recycling nucleosomes during transcription.

Project description:Nucleosome dynamics facilitated by histone turnover is required for transcription as well as DNA replication and repair. Histone turnover is often associated with various histone modifications such as H3K56 acetylation (H3K56Ac), H3K36 methylation (H3K36me), and H4K20 methylation (H4K20me). In order to correlate histone modifications and transcription-dependent histone turnover, we performed genome wide analyses for euchromatic regions in G2/M-arrested fission yeast. The results show that transcription-dependent histone turnover at 5’ promoter and 3’ termination regions is directly correlated with the occurrence of H3K56Ac and H4K20 mono-methylation (H4K20me1) in actively transcribed genes. Furthermore, the increase of H3K56Ac and H4K20me1 and antisense RNA production was observed in the absence of the histone H3K36 methyltransferase Set2 and histone deacetylase complex (HDAC) that are involved in the suppression of histone turnover within the coding regions. These results together indicate that H4K20me1 as well as H3K56Ac are bona fide marks for transcription-dependent histone turnover in fission yeast.

Project description:Linker histone H1, the key chromatin structural protein facilitating higher order chromatin folding, isan important epigenetic mark and regulator for gene expression and cellular differentiation. However, mechanisms thatregulate H1 binding affinity to chromatin remain elusive. In an attempt to screen functionallong non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs), we designed a cell-type specific score (CTSS) algorithm on the basis of RNA-seq data derived fromcell lines of different origins, which leads to the identification of an epithelium-specific lncRNA designated assmall nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8). In epithelial cells, loss of SNHG8d, a major transcriptof SNHG8, remodels the genomic expression profiletowards differentiation. Mechanistically, SNHG8d is localized in the nucleus and manifests stronginteraction withallthe histone H1 variants detected.Loss of SNHG8dleads to increasedH1 binding affinity to chromatinand subsequentchromatin condensationwhichdictates the epithelial differentiation-orientedgenomic expression remodeling.Further analysis proposes that SNHG8d regulates H1-chromatin affinityby competing with linker DNA forhistone H1 binding througha phase-separation mechanism. Thus, our study revealed a lncRNA-conducted mechanismthat sequesters histone H1 from chromatin through phase separation to sequentially regulatechromatin structure, gene expressionandepithelialdifferentiation.

Project description:Chromatin plays roles in processes governed by different time scales. To assay the dynamic behaviour of chromatin in living cells, we used genomic tiling arrays to measure histone H3 turnover in G1-arrested S. cerevisiae at single-nucleosome resolution over 4% of the genome, and over the entire genome at lower (~265 bp) resolution. We find that nucleosomes at promoters are replaced more rapidly than at coding regions, and that replacement rates over coding regions correlate with polymerase density. In addition, rapid histone turnover is found at known chromatin boundary elements. These results suggest that rapid histone turnover serves to functionally separate chromatin domains and prevent spread of histone states.

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 positioning profiles were generated in untreated cells and cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, 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.
