Multilevel interrogation of H3.3 dynamics reveals a primordial role in transcription regulation in Tetrahymena [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Through epigenetic modifications and selective incorporation of histone variants into chromatin, eukaryotic cells can adjust their transcriptional profile in response to molecular needs. We used the nuclear dimorphic ciliate protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila, as a model system to investigate the dynamics of H3 variant function. H3.3 is the ancestral H3 variant with key roles in regulating chromatin states and transcription. Functional proteomics and immunofluorescence analyses of H3.1 and H3.3 revealed a conserved role for Nrp1 and Asf1 histone chaperones in nuclear influx of histones. Cac2 and Hir1 have distinct localization patterns during different stages of the Tetrahymena life cycle and suggests that both Cac2 and Hir1 might be dispensable for the replication-dependent and -independent deposition of H3.1 and H3.3, respectively. ChIP-seq experiments in growing Tetrahymena show H3.3 enrichment over promoters, genes bodies, and transcription termination sites of highly transcribed genes. H3.3 knockout followed by RNA-seq reveals large-scale transcriptional alterations in functionally important genes. Our results provide an evolutionary perspective on H3.3’s conserved role in maintaining the transcriptional landscape of cells and on the emergence of specialized chromatin assembly pathways.

Quantitative middle-down MS analysis of histone H3 proteoforms throughout lifespan in mice

Project description:Replication-independent deposition of histone variant H3.3 into chromatin is essential for many biological processes, including development, oogenesis and nuclear reprogramming. Unlike replication-dependent H3.1/2 isoforms, H3.3 is expressed throughout the cell cycle and becomes enriched in postmitotic cells with age. However, lifelong dynamics of H3 variant replacement and the impact of this process on chromatin organization remain largely undefined. To address this, we investigated genome-wide changes in histone H3 variants composition and H3 modification abundances throughout the lifespan in mice using quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) – based middle-down proteomics strategy. Using middle-down MS we demonstrate that H3.3 accumulates in the chromatin of various somatic mouse tissues throughout life, resulting in near complete replacement of H3.1/2 isoforms by the late adulthood. Accumulation of H3.3 is associated with profound changes in the global level of H3 methylation. H3.3-containing chromatin exhibits distinct stable levels of H3R17me2 and H3K36me2, different from those on H3.1/H3.2-containing chromatin, indicating a direct link between H3 variant exchange and histone methylation dynamics with age. In summary, our study provides the first time comprehensive characterization of dynamic changes in the H3 modification landscape during mouse lifespan and links these changes to the age-dependent accumulation of histone variant H3.3.

Factors influencing in vivo deposition of histone variants H3.1 and H3.3

Project description:Establishment of a proper chromatin landscape is central to genome function. Here, we explain H3 variant distribution by specific targeting and dynamics of deposition involving the CAF-1 and HIRA histone chaperones. Impairing replicative H3.1 incorporation via CAF-1 enables an alternative H3.3 deposition at replication sites via HIRA. Conversely, the H3.3 incorporation throughout the cell cycle via HIRA cannot be replaced by H3.1. ChIP-seq analyses reveal correlation between HIRA-dependent H3.3 accumulation and RNA pol II at transcription sites and specific regulatory elements, further supported by their biochemical association. Remarkably, the HIRA complex shows unique DNA binding properties and depleting HIRA increases DNA sensitivity to nucleases. We propose that protective gap-filling of naked DNA by HIRA leads to a broad distribution of H3.3, and HIRA association with Pol II ensures local H3.3 enrichment at specific sites. Examination of genome-wide localization of two histone H3 variants.

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.

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.

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.

Chromatin remodeling of histone H3 variants by DDM1 underlies epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation [bisulfite-seq]

Project description:Epigenetic inheritance refers to the faithful replication of DNA and histone modification independent of DNA sequence. Nucleosomes block access to DNA methyltransferase during S phase, unless they are remodeled by Decrease in DNA methylation 1 (DDM1Lsh/HELLS), a Snf2-like master regulator of epigenetic inheritance. We show that DDM1 activity results in replacement of the transcriptional histone variant H3.3 for the replicative variant H3.1. Inddm1mutants, DNA methylation can be restored by loss of the H3.3 chaperone HIRA, while the H3.1 chaperone CAF-1 becomes essential. The single-particle cryo-EM structure at 3.2 Å of DDM1 with a variant nucleosome reveals direct engagement at SHL2 with histone H3.3 at or near variant residues required for assembly, as well as with the deacetylated H4 tail. An N-terminal autoinhibitory domain binds H2A variants to allow remodeling, while a di-sulphide bond in the helicase domain is essential for activity in vivo and in vitro. Differential remodeling of H3 and H2A variants in vitro reflects preferential deposition in vivo. DDM1 co-localizes with H3.1 and H3.3 during the cell cycle, and with the DNA methyltransferase MET1Dnmt1. DDM1 localization to the chromosome is blocked by H4K16 acetylation, which accumulates at DDM1 targets in ddm1 mutants, as does the sperm cell specific H3.3 variant MGH3 in pollen, which acts as a placeholder nucleosome and contributes to epigenetic inheritance.
