N4-acetyldeoxycytosine DNA modification marks euchromatin regions in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for high-throughput profiling of N4-acetylcytosine (4acC) DNA modification in Arabidopsis thaliana. We find that 4acC peaks mostly distribute in the euchromatin regions and are present in nearly half of the protein-coding genes in Arabidopsis. 4acC mainly locates around transcription start sites (TSSs) of protein-coding genes and positively correlates with gene expression level . Compared to non-4acC marked genes, 4acC marked genes display a higher methylation level of 5mC in the CG context within coding regions, but a lower methylation level of 5mC in the CHG and CHH contexts. In addition, 4acC peaks showed higher overlaps with active histone modification marks than by chance, but similar overlaps with repressive histone modification marks. We observed complex cooperative interactions among 4acC, 5mC, and histone modifications on gene transcription. 4acC containing genes with low level of mCG, or active histone modification marks displayed a higher expression. In sum, we have uncovered 4acC as a hitherto unknown epigenetic DNA mark that is associated with gene expression in Arabidopsis, and suggest potential cross-talks among epigenetic marks for gene expression.

Genomic mapping of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the human brain

Project description:Methylation at the 5-position of cytosine is a well-studied epigenetic pathway. In addition to 5-methylcytosine (5mC), substantial amounts of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) also referred to as the 6th DNA base, have been detected in certain tissues, most notably the brain. However, the genomic distribution of this cytosine modification is unknown. Here, we have developed an immunoprecipitation technique (5hmC-IP) to examine the occurrence of 5hmC in human DNA from brain frontal lobe tissue. The distribution of 5hmC was compared to that of 5mC. We show that 5hmC is more selectively targeted to genes than is 5mC. 5hmC is found at promoters and is particularly enriched in intragenic regions (gene bodies) but is largely absent from non-gene regions. 5hmC peaks at transcription start sites did not correlate with gene expression levels or H3K4me3 peaks. However, presence of 5hmC in gene bodies was more positively correlated with gene expression levels than was presence of 5mC. Promoters of testis-specific genes showed strong 5mC peaks in brain DNA but were almost completely devoid of 5hmC. Our data provide a first overview of the genomic distribution of 5hmC in human brain and will set the stage for further functional characterization of this novel DNA modification. Comparison between 5hmC and 5mC profiles

Genome-wide mapping of H3K4me3 and of PHF8 and ZNF711 binding sites in SH-SY5Y cells

Project description:We analyzed the genome wide binding sites for the potential XLMR genes PHF8 and ZNF711 in the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y using antibodies specific for PHF8 and ZNF711 and correlated this with binding pattern of H3K4me3. The total number of peaks detected for PHF8 based on 9.8 million sequence reads, 9.6 million sequence reads for ZNF711 and 9.1 million sequence reads for H3K4me3 after IgG normalization were 17075, 1875 and 19534, respectively. Annotation of the peaks to genes using the hg18 genome database revealed 10039 genes positive for H3K4me3, 7682 were bound by PHF8 and 1103 genes were bound by ZNF711 within +/-1000bp from TSS. As former genome wide analysis of H3K4me3 revealed is this histone mark preferentially associated with transcription start sites. The analysis revealed that 82% of H3K4me3 positive genes are also positive for PHF8. In general, PHF8 either co-localizes or partly overlaps with regions positive for H3K4me3 and covers the putative TSS of the target genes.

Genome-wide shifts in histone modification patterns at early stage of rice infection with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola

Project description:Epigenetic processes play a crucial role in the regulation of plant stress responses, but their role in plant-pathogen interactions remains poorly understood. Although histone modifying enzymes are deregulated in galls induced by root-knot nematode (RKN, Meloidogyne graminicola) in rice, their influence on plant defence and their genome-wide impact has not been comprehensively investigated. At genome-wide level, three histone marks, H3K9ac, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3 were studied by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing on RKN-induced galls at 3 days post inoculation. While levels of H3K9ac and H3K27me3 were strongly enriched, H3K9me2 was generally depleted in galls versus control root tips. Differential histone peaks were generally associated with plant defence related genes. Total RNA sequencing was performed to assess the effect of histone modification changes on gene expression.

Arabidopsis CAF-1 depletion / gamma-irradiation

Project description:CAF-1 is involved in nucleosome assembly following DNA replication and nucleotide excision repair. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the 3 CAF-1 subunits p150, p60 and p48 are encoded by FAS1, FAS2 and, most likely, MSI1, respectively.fas mutants exhibited increased levels of DNA double-strand breaks, a G2 phase retardation, and elevated levels of mRNAs coding for proteins involved in homologous recombinational repair. The same genes that were transcriptionally up-regulated in the fas mutants were also found to have a higher steady state level of transcription in wild-type Arabidopsis plants exposed to gamma-irradiation. Keywords: stress response, genetic modification

Role of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac histone marks in aging Drosophila

Project description:Temporal and spatial gene expression patterns are regulated by enhancer-specific histone modifications H3K4me1 and H3K27ac. To better understand age-dependent alteration of these enhancer marks, we analysed their genome-wide profiles and compared against changes in gene expression in the head tissues harvested from young Day 10 and D50 male Drosophila. The genome-wide binding patterns of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac remain highly similar (>85%) during ageing with marginally higher signals for both marks in older Day 50 flies. Signals were significantly higher in Day 50 flies near the transcription start sites for H3K4me1 whereas for H3K27ac, signals were significantly higher in Day 50 flies globally. Interestingly, analysis using MACS bdgdiff identified “x” H3K4me1 and “y” H3K27ac differential peaks that correlated with distinct sets of age-dependent differential expressed genes (DEG). Most of the H3K4me1 differential peaks (percentage of x) are located within the gene body of DEGs that are associated with RNA and metabolic processes. On the other hand, majority of differential H3K27ac peaks (percentage of y) are located 5 kb upstream of TSS of DEG enriched for various immune responses. Our results suggest that while both enhancer marks do not undergo significant global reconfiguration during aging, they are likely to be involved in activating independent sets of genes through distinct transcription activators.

Histone acetylation H2BK20ac marks cell-state specific active regulatory elements

Project description:Characterisation of different histone modifications is crucial to understand gene regulation. In order to study the most predictive histone modification for active enhancers we created unbiased set of enhancers and used machine learning approach. Our approach revealed an unconventional histone modification H2BK20ac as most efficient marker of active enhancers. H2BK20ac also showed superior coverage of tissue specific active enhancers in complex invivo samples. Adding H2BK20ac to set of conventional histone modifications lead to identification of new chromatin state which could be active enhancers. H2BK20ac tends to occur only at cell-type specific active promoters and showed higher specificity for related disease mutations than H3K27ac and other histone modifications. Using transient state of BV2 microglia cells after lipopolysaccharide based activation, we found that H2BK20ac also marks cell-state specific cis-regulatory elements. Further analysis using inhibition of TGF-beta pathway in BV2 cells and LPS stimulation, revealed differential patterns of H2BK20ac and H3K27ac at genome locations associated with opposite roles response to stmulation. Our study about H2BK20ac hints about a new mechanism of regulation of cell-type specificity and a distinct mode of action of pathways to maintain balance between cell-responses. Chip-seq of H2BK20ac and other histone modifcation was performed in 3 cell types and embryonic mouse forebrain. The sensitivity for active enhancers was compared for different histone modification ChIP-seq.The level of H2BK20ac at promoters and enhancers was assesed for relationship to cell-type specific expression. H2BK20ac signals were also analysed during cell-state transition when microgila are stimulated by LPS

Histone deacetylase inhibitors cause the selective depletion of bromodomain containing proteins

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and acetyltransferases control the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through modification of histone marks. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are small molecules that interfere with histone tail modification thus altering chromatin structure and epigenetically controlled pathways. They promote apoptosis in proliferating cells and are promising anti-cancer drugs. While some HDACis have already been approved for therapy and others are in different phases of clinical trials, the exact mechanism of action of this drug class remains elusive. Previous studies have shown that HDACis cause massive changes in chromatin structure but only moderate changes in gene expression. To which extent these changes manifest at the protein level has never been investigated on a proteome-wide scale. Here, we have studied HDACi-treated cells by large-scale mass spectrometry based proteomics. We show that HDACi treatment affects primarily the nuclear proteome and induces a selective decrease of bromodomain containing proteins (BCPs), the main readers of acetylated histone marks. By combining time-resolved proteome and transcriptome profiling, we show that BCPs are affected at the protein level as early as 12 hours after HDACi treatment and that their abundance is regulated by a combination of transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Using gene silencing, we demonstrate that the decreased abundance of BCPs is sufficient to mediate important transcriptional changes induced by HDACi. Our data reveals a new aspect of the mechanism of action of HDACi that is mediated by an interplay between histone acetylation and the abundance of BCPs.

The Effects of Low Temperature on the Global Increase of N6-methyldeoxyadenosine in Arabidopsis thaliana and Rice

Project description:N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) is a newly-discovered DNA modification that plays a role in regulating plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. However, the changes and molecular regulatory mechanisms of N6-methyldeoxyadenosine under cold stress in plants remain uncertain. Here, we found the global level of 6mA in both Arabidopsis and rice are raised after cold treatment. Genome-wide profiling of 6mA revealed that 6mA peaks are primarily distributed within gene body regions under both normal and low-temperature conditions. Additionally, genes that were up-methylated were enriched in various biological processes, while down-methylated genes did not exhibit any significant enrichment. Association analysis showed that 6mA was positively correlated with gene expression level and 6mA-containing genes displayed a significantly higher expression level than non-6mA-containing genes. Joint analysis of the 6mA methylome and transcriptome of Arabidopsis and rice revealed that the fluctuations in 6mA levels caused by exposure to cold did not correlate with the changes of transcript levels in response to low temperatures. Moreover, we found that 6mA modified orthologous genes exhibit high expression levels. However, upon cold treatment, only a small amount of differentially 6mA-methylated orthologous genes were shared between Arabidopsis and rice. In sum, this study profiled the changes of 6mA in response to cold temperature and has unlocked the potential of this DNA modification in regulating the expression of stress-related genes.

High-resolution enzymatic mapping of genomic 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:We describe the use of a novel DNA modification-dependent restriction endonuclease AbaSI coupled with sequencing (Aba-seq) to map high-resolution hydroxymethylome of mouse E14 embryonic stem cells. The specificity of AbaSI enables sensitive detection of 5hmC at low occupancy regions. Bioinformatic analysis suggests 5hmCs in genic regions closely follows the 5mC distribution. 5hmC is generally depleted in CpG islands and only enriched in a small set of repetitive elements. A regularly spaced and oscillating 5hmC pattern was observed at the binding sites of CTCF. 5hmC is enriched at the poised enhancers with the mono-methylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1) marks, but not at the active enhancers with the acetylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27Ac) marks. Non-CG hydroxymethylation appears to be prevalent in the mitochondrial genome. We propose that some amounts of transiently stable 5hmCs may indicate a poised epigenetic state or de-methylation intermediate, while others may suggest a locally accessible chromosomal environment to the TET enzymatic apparatus. Mapping of genomic 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in mouse embryonic stem cell by enzymatic digistion of AbaSI coupled with high-throughput sequencing, in replicates.
