Stable inheritance of H3.3-containing nucleosomes during mitotic cell divisions

ABSTRACT: It is known that newly synthesized H3.1/H3.2 and H3.3 histones, differing by four or five amino acids, are assembled into nucleosomes via replication-coupled and replication-independent pathways, respectively. However, it is not clear how parental H3.3 is transferred following DNA replication, especially when compared to H3.1. Here, we show that parental H3.3, like H3.1, are stably transferred into daughter cells. Moreover, Mcm2, Pole3 and Pole4, proteins known to engage in parental histone transfer based upon analysis of parental histone modifications, participate in the transfer of H3.3 following DNA replication. Lastly, we found that Mcm2, Pole3 and Pole4 mutants defective in parental histone transfer show defects in chromosome segregations. We propose that parental H3.3 is also stably transferred into daughter cells, contributing to the epigenetic memory of gene expression and the maintenance of genome stability.

Defective transfer of parental histone decreases frequency of homologous recombination in budding yeast

Project description:Recycling of parental histones is an important step in epigenetic inheritance. During DNA replication, DNA polymerase epsilon subunit DPB3/DPB4 and DNA replication helicase subunit MCM2 are involved in the transfer of parental histones to the leading and lagging DNA strands, respectively. Single Dpb3 deletion (dpb3[DELTA]) or Mcm2 mutation (mcm2-3A), which each disrupt one parental histone transfer pathway, leads to the other[prime]s predominance. However, the impact of the two histone transfer pathways on chromatin structure and DNA repair remains elusive. In this study, we used budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to determine the genetic and epigenetic outcomes from disruption of parental histone H3-H4 tetramer transfer. We found that a dpb3[DELTA]/mcm2-3A double mutant did not exhibit the single dpb3[DELTA] and mcm2-3A mutants[prime] asymmetric parental histone patterns, suggesting that the processes by which parental histones are transferred to the leading and lagging strands are independent. Surprisingly, the frequency of homologous recombination was significantly lower in dpb3[DELTA], mcm2-3A, and dpb3[DELTA]/mcm2-3A mutants relative to the wild-type strain, likely due to the elevated levels of free histones detected in the mutant cells. Together, these findings indicate that proper transfer of parental histones to the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication is essential for maintaining chromatin structure and that high levels of free histones due to parental histone transfer defects are detrimental to cells.

Quantification of histone H3 and H4 modifications by mass spectrometry in wildtype and MCM2-2A mutants of mice ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication modified parental histones H3-H4 are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histone PTMs. Whether heritable histone modifications confer epigenetic regulation by maintaining chromatin states and gene expression is unclear. Using MCM2 histone-binding mutant embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mass spectrometry, we show that asymmetric segregation of parental histones to the leading strand causes imbalanced inheritance of histone H3K27 methylations to daughter cells.

DNA Polymerase Delta Governs Parental Histone Transfer to DNA Replication Lagging Strand

Project description:Chromatin replication is intricately intertwined with DNA replication, and the recycling of parental histones is essential for epigenetic inheritance. The transfer of parental histones to both the DNA replication leading and lagging strands involves two distinct pathways: the leading strand utilizes DNA polymerase ε subunits Dpb3/Dpb4, while the lagging strand is facilitated by the MCM helicase subunit Mcm2. However, the process by which Mcm2, moving along the leading strand, facilitates the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand remains unclear. Our study reveals that the deletion of Pol32, a non-essential subunit of major lagging-strand DNA polymerase δ, results in a predominant transfer of parental histone H3-H4 to the replication leading strand. Biochemical analyses further demonstrate that Pol32 can bind histone H3-H4 both in vivo and in vitro. The interaction of Pol32 with parental histone H3-H4 is disrupted by the mutation of Mcm2's histone H3-H4 binding domain. In conclusion, our findings identify the DNA polymerase delta subunit Pol32 as a novel key histone chaperone downstream of Mcm2, mediating the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand during DNA replication.

De novo deposition of the histone H3 variants H3.1 and H3.3 during DNA replication

Project description:We developed a new sequencing assay to track the de novo deposition of the histone H3 variants H3.1 and H3.3 during S phase. We use cells stably expressing H3.1-SNAP or H3.3-SNAP, and synchronize them in G1/S by double-thymidine block. The SNAP-tag enables to discriminate newly synthesized histones from preexisting ones, via a quench-chase-capture strategy. We applied this strategy to isolate new H3.1 and H3.3 after releasing cells into S phase, and probed their distribution by MNase digestion and sequencing. We could thus characterize H3.1 and H3.3 dynamics from early to mid S phase at genome-wide resolution. We further applied our method to investigate the consequences of perturbations upon deletion of the H3.3 chaperone HIRA. We used HIRA knockout and control cells, and compared H3.1 and H3.3 distribution to early replication patterns by EdU labeling and sequencing of nascent DNA.

Quantification of parental and new histones H3, H4 and H2A by mass spectrometry: analysis of their dynamics along cell cycle progression in WT and MCM2-2A mutant mouse ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication parental, nucleosomic histones are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histones and their PTMs. In MCM2 histone-binding mutant ESCs (MCM2-2A), histones are recycled asymmetrically to the leading strand. To evaluate if loss of parental histones contributes to the asymmetry, we tracked new and old histones quantitatively by pulse-Triple-SILAC-MS. The quantification showed no change in dilution and incorporation dynamics in MCM2-2A cells, demonstrating that parental histones are not lost at replication forks but re-routed from the lagging to the leading strand.

The Mcm2-Ctf4-Pola axis facilitates parental histone transfer to lagging strands

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

Dynamic Deposition of the Histone H3.3 Variant Accompanies Developmental Remodeling of Arabidopsis Transcriptome (mRNA-Seq)

Project description:In animals, replication coupled histone H3.1 can be distinguished from replication independent histone H3.3. H3.3 variants are enriched at active genes and their promoters. Furthermore, H3.3 is specifically incorporated upon gene activation. Histone H3 variants evolved independently in plants and animals and it is unclear whether different replication independent H3.3 variants developed similar properties in both phyla. We studied Arabidopsis H3 variants in order to find core properties of this class of histones. Here we present genome-wide maps of H3.3 and H3.1 enrichment and the dynamic changes of their profiles upon cell division arrest. We find H3.3 enrichment to positively correlate with gene expression and to be biased towards the transcription termination site. While heterochromatic regions are mostly depleted of H3.3, H3.1 shows a more even distribution along the genome. We report that in planta, dynamic changes in H3.3 profiles are associated with the extensive remodeling of the transcriptome that occurs during cell differentiation. We propose that H3.3 dynamics are linked to transcription and are involved in resetting covalent histone marks at a genomic scale during plant development. Similarities between plant and animal H3.3 deposition profiles indicate that H3 variants likely result from functionally convergent evolution. Analysis of 2 different histone H3 variants and transcriptome in 2 conditions.

Genome-wide analysis of histone H3.1 and H3.3 variants in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Nucleosomes package eukaryotic DNA and are composed of four different histone proteins, H3, H4, H2A and H2B. Histone H3 has two main variants, H3.1 and H3.3, which show different genomic localization patterns in animals. We profiled H3.1 and H3.3 variants in the genome of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and show that the localization of these variants shows broad similarity in plants and animals, in addition to some unique features. H3.1 was enriched in silent areas of the genome including regions containing the repressive chromatin modifications H3 lysine 27 methylation, H3 lysine 9 methylation, and DNA methylation. In contrast, H3.3 was enriched in actively transcribed genes, especially peaking at the 3’ end of genes, and correlated with histone modifications associated with gene activation such as histone H3 lysine 4 methylation, and H2B ubiquitylation, as well as by RNA Pol II occupancy. Surprisingly, both H3.1 and H3.3 were enriched on defined origins of replication, as was overall nucleosome density, suggesting a novel characteristic of plant origins. Our results are broadly consistent with the hypothesis that H3.1 acts as the canonical histone that is incorporated during DNA replication, whereas H3.3 acts as the replacement histone that can be incorporated outside of S-phase during chromatin disrupting processes like transcription.

Coordination of histone chaperones for parental histone segregation and epigenetic inheritance

Project description:Chromatin-based epigenetic memory relies on the accurate distribution of parental histone tetramers to newly replicated DNA strands, serving as templates for chromatin structure duplication. Mcm2, a subunit of the replicative helicase, and the Dpb3/4, subunits of polymerase epsilon, govern parental histone deposition to the lagging and leading strands, respectively. However, their contribution to epigenetic inheritance remains controversial. Here we show in fission yeast that a Mcm2 histone chaperone mutation severely disrupts heterochromatin inheritance, while Dpb3/4 mutations cause only moderate defects. Surprisingly, simultaneous Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 mutations stabilizes heterochromatin inheritance. eSPAN analyses confirm the conservation of Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 functions in parental histone segregation, with their collective absence reducing segregation bias. Furthermore, the FACT histone chaperone also regulates parental histone transfer independently of strands and collaborates with Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 to maintain parental histone density, ensuring faithful heterochromatin inheritance. These results underscore the importance of precise parental histone segregation to the lagging strand for epigenetic inheritance and unveil unique properties of parental histone chaperones during DNA replication.
