Testing the usage of divalent metal cations and nucleases during NET-seq for Pol I

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to determine the effects of commonly used nuclease treatments and their divalent metal cation cofactors on Pol I occupancy during NET-seq. Other groups have previously used micrococcal nuclease (MNase) + CaCl2 and deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) + MnCl2 in NET-seq protocols probing for Pol II occupancy. However, the effect of these treatments on polymerase occupancy has not been fully explored. Therefore, we tested the impact of these treatments (CaCl2, CaCl2 + MNase, MnCl2, and MnCl2 + DNase I) on Pol I occupancy in vivo. We found that the exposure of Pol I to either CaCl2 or MnCl2 caused a significant reduction in occupancy on the rDNA template. Nuclease treatment (with either MNase or DNase I) did not cause an additional significant effect on Pol I occupancy in vivo beyond that of either CaCl2 or MnCl2. Finally, we found that MnCl2 treatment caused a more significant reduction in Pol I occupancy as compared to CaCl2, suggesting that perhaps MnCl2 stimulates the intrinsic cleavage activity of Pol I more robustly vs. CaCl2 in vivo. Altogether, these findings indicate that the inclusion of these treatments (especially that of divalent metal cations) in NET-seq protocols for Pol I cause a significant change in the polymerase occupancy.

The effect of metal cations on the capture of Pol II-derived nascent transcripts in NET-seq experiments

Project description:The goal of this study was to test the effect of metal cations (CaCl2 and MnCl2) during Pol II NET-seq. These metals are readily used in the majority of studies that use NET-seq to analyze Pol II occupancy, but their effect on nascent transcript capture has not been analyzed. Our results suggest that the inclusion of these metals in Pol II NET-seq experiments does not cause a significant change in Pol II occupancy in the untreated control vs. metal-treated (CaCl2 or MnCl2) samples.

Nucleosome depletion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae terminator

Project description:H3 ChIP and input DNA were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip S. cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R Array Genome-wide mapping of nucleosomes generated by micrococcal nuclease (MNase) suggests that yeast promoter and terminator regions are very depleted of nucleosomes, predominantly because their DNA sequences intrinsically disfavor nucleosome formation. However, MNase has strong DNA sequence specificity that favors cleavage at promoters and terminators and accounts for some of the correlation between occupancy patterns of nucleosomes assembled in vivo and in vitro. Using an improved method for measuring nucleosome occupancy in vivo that does not involve MNase, we confirm that promoter regions are strongly depleted of nucleosomes, but find that terminator regions are much less depleted than expected. Unlike at promoter regions, nucleosome occupancy at terminators is strongly correlated with the orientation of and distance to adjacent genes. In addition, nucleosome occupancy at terminators is strongly affected by growth conditions, indicating that it is not primarily determined by intrinsic histone-DNA interactions. Rapid removal of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) causes increased nucleosome occupancy at terminators, strongly suggesting a transcription-based mechanism of nucleosome depletion. However, the distinct behavior of terminator regions and their corresponding coding regions suggests that nucleosome depletion at terminators is not simply associated with passage of Pol II, but rather involves a distinct mechanism linked to 3’ end formation.

Quantitative MNase-seq accurately maps nucleosome occupancy levels

Project description:Chromatin mapping using micrococcal nuclease (MNase) has been the standard tool for mapping nucleosomes for >40 years. When coupled with DNA sequencing, MNase-seq can provide base-pair-resolution nucleosome maps. However, determining nucleosome occupancy using MNase-seq has been hampered by its aggressive endo-/exo-nuclease activities, whereby cleavages within linker regions produce oligo- and mono-nucleosomes whereas cleavages within nucleosomes destroy them. Here we introduce a theoretical framework for predicting nucleosome occupancies and an experimental protocol with appropriate spike-in normalization that confirms our theory and provides accurate occupancy levels over an MNase digestion time-course. As expected, DNaseI hypersensitive sites and transcription units are digested by MNase at elevated rates, and the apparent deficiency of nucleosomes at 3’ ends of Drosophila genes is an artifact of MNase preference for AT-rich DNA. Surprisingly, we observed no overall differences between Drosophila euchromatin and heterochromatin, which implies that heterochromatin compaction does not render nucleosomal DNA less accessible than euchromatin.

Meiotic recombination initiation hotspots in Arabidopsis genes and transposons (MNase-seq)

Project description:To analyse nucleosome positioning and occupancy we performed micrococcal nuclease digestion of Arabidopsis wild type (Col-0) chromatin and gel purified the resulting ~150 bp mononucleosomal DNA band. This DNA was used to generate a library and paired-end sequencing performed (MNase-seq). To further examine influence of SWR1 chromatin remodelling complex and DNA methylation on nucleosome occupancy, we repeated MNase-seq in Aarabidopsis arp6 and met1 mutant.

Defining the influence of the A12 subunit on transcription elongation and termination by rna polymerase I

Project description:we performed Native Elongating Transcript Sequencing (NET-seq) on an rpa12Δ strain of S. cerevisiae and evaluated the resultant change in Pol I occupancy throughout the 35S gene and the IGS. Compared to WT, we observed template sequence-specific changes in Pol I occupancy throughout the 35S gene. We also observed rpa12Δ Pol I occupancy downstream of both termination sites and throughout most of the IGS, including the 5S gene. Occupancy of rpa12Δ Pol I increased just upstream of the promoter proximal Reb1 binding site and dropped significantly after, implicating this site as a third terminator for Pol I transcription.

The esBAF and ISWI nucleosome remodeling complexes influence occupancy of overlapping dinucleosomes and fragile nucleosomes in murine embryonic stem cells

Project description:Nucleosome remodeling factors regulate the occupancy and positioning of nucleosomes genome-wide through ATP-driven DNA translocation. While many nucleosomes are well- and consistently positioned, some nucleosomes and nucleosome-like structures are more sensitive to nuclease digestion or transitory in nature. To better understand the role of nucleosome remodeling factors in generating and clearing these alternative nucleosome structures, we depleted murine embryonic stem cells of the remodeler ATPases BRG1 and SNF2H then performed MNase-seq in murine embryonic stem cells. We performed MNase-seq under high- and low-MNase conditions to assess the effects of nucleosome remodeling factors on nuclease-sensitive or “fragile” nucleosome occupancy. In parallel, we gel-extracted MNase-digested fragments to enrich for another alternative nucleosome structure, the overlapping dinucleosome. Overlapping dinucleosomes are composed of two canonical nucleosomes, asymmetrically lacking one H2A:H2B dimer and wrapped by ~250 bp of DNA. In vitro studies of nucleosome remodeling have suggested that the collision of adjacent nucleosomes by nucleosome sliding can stimulate formation of overlapping dinucleosomes. Using these methods, we were able to identify fragile nucleosomes and overlapping dinucleosomes near transcription start sites and gene-distal DNaseI hypersensitive sites in mouse embryonic stem cells, among other loci. We find that BRG1 consistently stimulates occupancy of fragile nucleosomes but represses occupancy of overlapping dinucleosomes through its nucleosome remodeling function, while SNF2H expression slightly increases fragile nucleosome occupancy.

Native Elongating Transcript Sequencing Reveals Human Transcriptional Activity at Nucleotide Resolution

Project description:Major features of transcription by human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) remain poorly defined due to a lack of quantitative approaches for visualizing Pol II progress at nucleotide resolution. We developed a simple and powerful approach for performing native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) in human cells that globally maps strand-specific Pol II density at nucleotide resolution. NET-seq exposes a mode of antisense transcription that originates downstream and converges on transcription from the canonical promoter. Convergent transcription is associated with a distinctive chromatin configuration and is characteristic of lower-expressed genes. Integration of NET-seq with genomic footprinting data reveals stereotypic Pol II pausing coincident with transcription factor occupancy. Finally, exons retained in mature transcripts display Pol II pausing signatures that differ markedly from skipped exons, indicating an intrinsic capacity for Pol II to recognize exons with different processing fates.

Genome wide mapping of native R-loops using a targeted nuclease approach in U2OS cells after DDX41 siRNA knockdown or ActinomycinD treatment (MapR)

Project description:Purpose: Investigation of genome-wide changes in R-loop levels after knockdown of DDX41 U2OS cells in comparison to a control knockdown. Method: Concanavalin A-coated beads were activated in Binding Buffer (20 mM Hepes-KOH pH 7.9, 10 mM KCl, 1mM CaCl2, 1 mM MnCl2). 5*105 U2OS cells were washed twice with Wash Buffer (Hepes-NaOH pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM Spermidine, 1 mM protease inhibitor) at room temperature and afterwards immobilized on the activated beads in 50 µl Wash Buffer containing 0.05% Digitonin. Either pA-MNase or RHΔ-MNase were added to the cells overnight at 4°C on a rotating wheel. After three washes with Wash Buffer containing 0.05% Digitonin, samples resuspended in 100 µl Dig-Wash-Buffer were equilibrated on ice. Activity of the MNase was triggered by adding 2mM CaCl2 to the samples for 30 minutes. 2x Stop Buffer (68 µl 5M NaCl, 40 µl 0.5 M EDTA, 20 µl 0.2 M EGTA, 10 µl 5% digitonin, 5 µl 10mg/ml RnaseA, 20 pg/ml spike-in Drosophila DNA (Active Motif)) was mixed with the samples to stop the reaction. Chromatin fragments were released by incubating the samples for 20 minutes at 37°C and centrifugation at 16.000×g for 10 minutes at 4°C. Supernatants were incubated at 70°C in the presence of 0.1% SDS and 5 µg proteinase K. Before library preparation, the DNA was recovered by phenol-chloroform extraction Results: We were able to map R-loop dynamics genome-wide in U2OS cells in biological triplicates. MapR signal was significantly increased around the transcription start site in the absence of DDX41 and decreased after treatment with ActinomycinD.

Impairment of RNA polymerase I elongation rate induces defects in ribosomal RNA processing and ribosome biogenesis

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between Pol I transcription elongation rate and ribosomal RNA processing in vivo by using a yeast strain containing a mutation in Pol I. This mutation, rpa190-F1205H, has been previously characterized to have a reduced elongation rate in vitro. Here, we used native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) to determine the effect of this mutation on Pol I occupancy in vivo. Our findings demonstrate that this mutation induces increased Pol I pausing, especially in the first half of the 35S gene, and causes sequence-specific changes in Pol I occupancy.
