Slow RNAPII transcription elongation rate, low levels of RNAPII pausing, and elevated histone H1 content at promoters associate with higher m6A deposition on nascent mRNAs

ABSTRACT: 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.

Histone H1 regulates non-coding RNA turnover on chromatin in a m6A-dependent manner

Project description:Linker histones are highly abundant chromatin-associated proteins with well-established structural roles in chromatin and as general transcriptional repressors. In addition, it has been long proposed that histone H1 exerts context-specific effects on gene expression. Here, we have identified a new function of histone H1 in chromatin structure and transcription using a range of genomic approaches. We show that histone H1-depleted cells accumulate nascent non-coding RNAs on chromatin, suggesting that histone H1 prevents non-coding RNA transcription and regulates non-coding transcript turnover on chromatin. Accumulated non-coding transcripts have reduced levels of m6A modification causing replication-transcription conflicts. Accordingly, altering the m6A RNA methylation pathway rescues the replicative phenotype of H1 loss. This work unveils unexpected regulatory roles of histone H1 on non-coding RNA turnover and m6A deposition, highlighting the intimate relationship between chromatin conformation, RNA metabolism and DNA replication to maintain genome performance.

The SPARC complex defines RNAPII promoters in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Kinetoplastids are a highly divergent lineage of eukaryotes with unusual mechanisms for regulating gene expression. We previously surveyed 65 putative chromatin factors in the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei. Our analyses revealed that the predicted histone methyltransferase SET27 and the Chromodomain protein CRD1 are tightly concentrated at RNAPII transcription start regions (TSRs). Here we report that SET27 and CRD1, together with four previously uncharacterized constituents, form the SET27 promoter-associated regulatory complex (SPARC), which is specifically enriched at TSRs. SET27 loss leads to aberrant RNAPII recruitment to promoter sites, accumulation of polyadenylated transcripts upstream of normal transcription start sites, and conversion of some normally unidirectional promoters to bidirectional promoters. Transcriptome analysis in the absence of SET27 revealed upregulated mRNA expression in the vicinity of SPARC peaks within the main body of chromosomes in addition to derepression of genes encoding variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) located in subtelomeric regions. These analyses uncover a novel chromatin-associated complex required to establish accurate promoter position and directionality.

Ssu72 and Ser5P-RNAPII ChIPseq in hESCs. GROseq analysis in siCtrl and siSSu72 transfected hESCs.

Project description:Ssu72 is a Ser5P-RNAPII phosphatase, nevertheless few targets have been characterized and its role in mammal cells remains elusive. Using ChIPseq and GROseq technologies we aimed to identify Ssu72 targets in human embryonic stem cells. For the ChIPseq experiments, H1 hESCs growing in mTeSR media were doubled fixed with DSG 2mM (45min) and FA 1% (20min) and processed to chromatin immunoprecipitation. For GROseq experiments, H1 hESCs were transfected with siCtrl or siSsu72 siRNAs using RNAimax (Invitrogene) for 48h. Then, run-on experiment was done with isolated nuclei. Nascent RNA purification and subsequent steps needed before sequencing were carried out essentially as described in Core et al, 2008, Science 319(5871): 1791-1792.

A systematic analysis of Trypanosoma brucei chromatin factors identifies novel protein interaction networks associated with sites of transcription initiation and termination

Project description:Nucleosomes composed of histones are the fundamental units around which DNA is wrapped to form chromatin. Transcriptionally active euchromatin or repressive heterochromatin is regulated in part by the addition or removal of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) by ‘writer’ and ‘eraser’ enzymes, respectively. Nucleosomal PTMs are recognised by a variety of ‘reader’ proteins which alter gene expression accordingly. The histone tails of the evolutionarily divergent eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei have atypical sequences and PTMs distinct from those often considered universally conserved. Here we identify 65 predicted readers, writers and erasers of histone acetylation and methylation encoded in the T. brucei genome and, by epitope tagging, systemically localize 60 of them in the parasite’s bloodstream form. ChIP-seq demonstrated that fifteen candidate proteins associate with regions of RNAPII transcription initiation. Eight other proteins exhibit a distinct distribution with specific peaks at a subset of RNAPII transcription termination regions marked by RNAPIII-transcribed tRNA and snRNA genes. Proteomic analyses identified distinct protein interaction networks comprising known chromatin regulators and novel trypanosome-specific components. Notably, several SET-domain and Bromo-domain protein networks suggest parallels to RNAPII promoter-associated complexes in conventional eukaryotes. Further, we identify likely components of TbSWR1 and TbNuA4 complexes whose enrichment coincides with the SWR1-C exchange substrate H2A.Z at RNAPII transcriptional start regions. The systematic approach employed provides detail of the composition and organization of the chromatin regulatory machinery in Trypanosoma brucei and establishes a route to explore divergence from eukaryotic norms in an evolutionarily ancient but experimentally accessible eukaryote.

RNAPII transit through nucleosomes in vivo produces hexasomal intermediates

Project description:All histone-DNA contacts in a nucleosome must be disrupted for RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to transcribe through chromatin. However, the structural transitions of the nucleosome during transcription in vivo are unknown. To identify nucleosomal intermediates formed during transcription in vivo, we mapped subnucleosomal protections in Drosophila cells using Micrococcal Nuclease followed by deep sequencing. At the first nucleosome position downstream of the transcription start site, we identified hexasomes lacking an H2A/H2B dimer. Inhibiting topoisomerases or depleting histone chaperones increased dimer loss, whereas inhibiting release of paused RNAPII or reducing RNAPII elongation decreased dimer loss. Our results suggest that positive torsion generated by elongating RNAPII evicts the distal H2A/H2B dimer in vivo. We also identified diagnostic subnucleosomal particle remnants in cell-free human DNA data as a relic of transcribed genes from the tissue-of-origin. Thus the identification of subnucleosomal particle fragments from nuclease protection data represents a general strategy for structural epigenomics.

Linker histones mediate sequence-specific regulation of chromosomal organization and H3K27me3 enrichment over genes and telomeric repeats [TRB1-GFP ChIP-seq]

Project description:Chromatin architecture relies on histone H1 whose central globular domain (GH1) sits on the nucleosome dyad and carboxy-terminal domain associates with linker DNA. We report that Arabidopsis H1 positively influences H3K27me3 chromatin enrichment over protein-coding genes but oppositely prevents its accumulation on telomeres and heterochromatic Interstitial Telomeric Repeats (ITRs). Contrasting with their neighboring heterochromatic environment, pericentromeric ITR regions remain highly compacted and are more prone to long-distance interactions with telomeres in H1 mutant plants. The switch from H1-rich to H3K27me3-rich ITR chromatin is further accompanied by an invasion of GH1-Myb Telomeric Repeat Binding protein 1 (TRB1), a structural component of telomeres capable to trigger H3K27me3 deposition over protein-coding genes displaying short telomeric motifs. This dual effect led us to propose a competition mechanism between H1 and TRB that prevents massive H3K27me3 deposition over large blocks of repeated motifs, thereby contributing to regulate H3K27me3 homeostasis over the genome.
