Project description:Background: Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) constitute a branch of epigenetic mechanisms that can control the expression of eukaryotic genes in a heritable manner. Recent studies have identified several PTM-binding proteins containing diverse specialized domains whose recognition of specific PTM sites leads to gene activation or repression. Here, we present a high-throughput proteogenomic platform designed to characterize the nucleosomal make-up of chromatin enriched with a set of histone PTM-binding proteins known as histone PTM readers. We support our findings with gene expression data correlating to PTM distribution. Results: We isolated human mononucleosomes bound by the bromodomain-containing proteins Brd2, Brd3 and Brd4, and by the chromodomain-containing heterochromatin proteins HP1alpha and HP1beta. Histone PTMs were quantified by mass spectrometry (ChIP-qMS), and their associated DNAs were mapped using deep sequencing. Our results reveal that Brd- and HP1-bound nucleosomes are enriched in histone PTMs consistent with actively transcribed euchromatin and silent heterochromatin, respectively. Data collected using RNA-Seq (GSM301568) show that Brd-bound sites correlate with highly expressed genes. In particular, Brd3 and Brd4 are most enriched on nucleosomes located within HOX gene clusters, whose expression is reduced upon Brd4 depletion by shRNA. Conclusions: Proteogenomic mapping of histone PTM readers, alongside the characterization of their local chromatin environments and transcriptional information, should prove useful for determining how histone PTMs are bound by these readers and how they contribute to distinct transcriptional states.

Project description:How histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are inherited through cell cycle remains poorly understood. Canonical histones are made in the S phase of cell cycle. Combining mass spectrometry-based technologies and stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), we interrogate the distributions of multiple major histone PTMs on old versus new histones in synchronized human cells. We show that histone PTMs can be grouped to three categories accordingly to their distributions. Most lysine mono-methylation and acetylation PTMs are either symmetrically distributed on old and new histones, or asymmetric on new histones. In contrast, most di- and tri-methylation PTMs are asymmetric on old histones, suggesting the inheritance of different PTMs is regulated distinctly. Intriguingly, old and new histones are distinguished in their phosphorylation status during early mitosis, in three different human cell types: Hela, 293T and human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells. The mitotic hallmark H3S10ph is predominantly associated with old H3 at early mitosis and become symmetric with the progression of mitosis. The same distribution pattern is found on other mitotic histone phosphorylation marks, including H3T3/T6ph, H3.1/2S28ph and H1.4S26ph, excluding S28/S31ph on the H3 variant H3.3. Although H3S10ph often associates with the neighboring K9 di- or tri-methylation, they are not required for the asymmetric distribution of S10ph on the same H3 tail. Inhibition of the kinase Aurora B does not change the distribution pattern despite significant reduction of H3S10ph levels. K9me2 abundance on the new H3 is significantly reduced after Aurora B inhibition, suggesting a crosstalk between H3S10ph and H3K9me2.

Project description:Both genetic and environmental factors are implicated in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Since environmental factors can trigger epigenetic changes, we hypothesized that variations in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) at the promoter/enhancer regions of T1D susceptible genes may be associated with T1D. We therefore evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the chromatin-immunoprecipitation-linked-to-microarray approach to profile key histone PTMs, including H3-lysine-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes, and H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac at the IDDM1 region in monocytes of T1D patients and healthy controls separately. We screened for potential variations in histone PTMs using computational methods to compare datasets from T1D and controls. Interestingly, we observed marked variations in H3K9Ac levels at the upstream regions of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 within the IDDM1 locus in T1D monocytes relative to controls. Additional experiments with THP-1 monocytes demonstrated increased expression of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 in response to interferon- and TNF-treatment that were accompanied by changes in H3K9Ac at the same promoter regions as that seen in the patient monocytes. These results suggest that the H3K9Ac status of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1, two genes highly associated with T1D, may be relevant to their regulation and transcriptional response towards external stimuli. Thus, the promoter/enhancer architecture and chromatin status of key susceptible loci could be important determinants in their functional association to T1D susceptibility. We used ChIP-chip to profile key histone PTMs, including H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac, at the IDDM1 region in monocytes of T1D patients and healthy controls.

Project description:Dynamic changes in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are important regulators of chromatin structure and gene transcription in both normal and disease settings. Herein, we describe a novel signaling mechanism of nitric oxide (â¢NO) by demonstrating its ability to modulate gene expression via alteration of histone PTMs. Having established that â¢NO exposure induced differential expression of approximately 6500 genes, we set out to determine if there was an epigenetic component to their regulation. â¢NO exposure led to alterations in the global levels of acetyl and methyl modifications at numerous lysine residues on core histones H3 and H4. Residues H3K9me2/ac were examined further and determined to have differential distribution at various loci throughout the genome in response to â¢NO. Changes in the enrichment levels of H3K9me2/ac at specific genes correlated with changes in the expression levels of their transcripts. Molecular mechanisms contributing to phenotypic outcomes in â¢NO-associated cancers remain to be well understood since traditional modes of â¢NO-signaling do not explain a large proportion of its impact on tumor cell behavior. Our results reveal that â¢NO drives a significant amount of gene expression changes epigenetically by changing the distribution of numerous histone marks. Cultured cells were treated with 500uM DETA/NO to examine the effects of a physiologically relevant â¢NO concentration on differential distribution of H3K9ac/H3K9me2. A total of two untreated biological replicates and two â¢NO-treated biological replicates were harvested. The untreated samples served as control against which comparisons were made to elucidate â¢NO-mediated changes in the histone landscape.

Project description:Histone modifications associated with gene silencing typically mark large contiguous regions of the genome forming repressive chromatin domain structures. Since the repressive domains exist in close proximity to active regions, maintenance of domain structure is critically important. This study shows that nickel, a nonmutagenic carcinogen, can disrupt histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) domain structures genome-wide, resulting in spreading of H3K9me2 marks into the active regions, which is associated with gene silencing. Our results suggest inhibition of DNA binding of the insulator protein CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) at the H3K9me2 domain boundaries as a potential reason for H3K9me2 domain disruption. These findings have major implications in understanding chromatin dynamics and the consequences of chromatin domain disruption during pathogenesis. Investigations into the genomic landscape of histone modifications in heterochromatic regions have revealed histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) to be important for differentiation and maintaining cell identity. H3K9me2 is associated with gene silencing and is organized into large repressive domains that exist in close proximity to active genes, indicating the importance of maintenance of proper domain structure. Here we show that nickel, a nonmutagenic environmental carcinogen, disrupted H3K9me2 domains, resulting in the spreading of H3K9me2 into active regions, which was associated with gene silencing. We found weak CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-binding sites and reduced CTCF binding at the Ni-disrupted H3K9me2 domain boundaries, suggesting a loss of CTCF-mediated insulation function as a potential reason for domain disruption and spreading. We furthermore show that euchromatin islands, local regions of active chromatin within large H3K9me2 domains, can protect genes from H3K9me2-spreadingM-bM-^@M-^Sassociated gene silencing. These results have major implications in understanding H3K9me2 dynamics and the consequences of chromatin domain disruption during pathogenesis.

Project description:The integrated activity of cis-regulatory elements fine-tunes transcriptional programs of mammalian cells by recruiting cell type–specific as well as ubiquitous transcription factors (TFs). Despite their key role in modulating transcription, enhancers are still poorly characterized at the molecular level, and their limited DNA sequence conservation in evolution and variable distance from target genes make their unbiased identification challenging. The coexistence of high mono-methylation and low tri-methylation levels of lysine 4 of histone H3 is considered a signature of enhancers, but a comprehensive view of histone modifications associated to enhancers is still lacking. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with mass spectrometry, we investigated cis-regulatory regions in macrophages to comprehensively identify histone marks specifically associated with enhancers, and to profile their dynamics after transcriptional activation elicited by an inflammatory stimulation. The intersection of the proteomics data with ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed the existence of novel subpopulations of enhancers, marked by specific histone modification signatures: specifically, H3K36me2/K4me1 marks transcribed enhancers, while H3K36me3/K4me1 and H3K79me2/K4me1 combinations mark distinct classes of intronic enhancers. Thus, our MS analysis of functionally distinct genomic regions revealed the combinatorial code of histone modifications, highlighting the potential of proteomics in addressing fundamental questions in epigenetics.
