Human histone H1 variants impact splicing outcome by controlling RNA polymerase II elongation rate [PRO-seq]

ABSTRACT: Histones shape chromatin structure and the epigenetic landscape. H1, the most diverse histone in the human genome, has 11 variants. Due to high structural similarity between the H1s, their unique functions in transferring information from the chromatin to mRNA processing machineries, have remained elusive. Here, we generated human cell lines lacking up to five H1 subtypes, allowing us to characterize the genomic binding profiles of six H1 variants. Most H1s bind to specific sites, and binding depends on multiple factors including GC content. The highly expressed H1.2 has a high affinity for exons, whereas H1.3 binds intronic sequences. Although H1s have a minor effect on global gene expression levels, they are major splicing regulators, especially of exon skipping and intron retention events, through their effects on the elongation rate of RNA polymerase II. Thus, H1 variants determine splicing fate by modulating the RNA polymerase II elongation rate.

Mapping of somatic linker histone H1 variants in T47D-MTVL and HeLa cells

Project description:At least six histone H1 variants exist in mammalian somatic cells that bind to the linker DNA and stabilize the nucleosome particle contributing to higher order chromatin compaction. In addition, H1 seems to be involved in the active regulation of gene expression. It is not well known whether the different variants have specific roles, are distributed differentially along the genome, or regulate specific promoters. By taking advantage of specific antibodies to H1 variants and HA-tagged recombinant H1 variants expressed in a breast cancer-derived cell line, we have investigated the distribution of the different somatic H1 variants (H1.2 to H1.5, H1.0 and H1X) in particular promoters and genome-wide. Analysis of H1 (H1.0, H1.2, H1.3, H1.4, H1.5 and H1X) and H3 abundance in promoter regions

The genomic landscape of the somatic linker histone subtypes H1.1 to H1.5 in human cells

Project description:We employed the DamID technique to systematically map the genomic distribution of all canonical somatic H1 subtypes (H1.1-H1.5) in human IMR90 cells. Human cells contain up to eleven histone H1 proteins, with different spatial and temporal expression patterns. These include five canonical, replication-dependent somatic H1 subtypes (H1.1, H1.2, H1.3, H1.4 and H1.5). Despite being a key chromatin component, the genomic distribution of the somatic canonical H1 subtypes is still unknown and their role in chromatin related processes has so far remained elusive. Here we employed a DamID approach to map for the first time the genomic localization of all somatic canonical H1 subtypes in human cells. Our integrative analysis reveals novel insights into H1 subtype distribution and uncovers functional chromatin features potentially regulating the H1 genomic landscape. In general H1.2 to H1.5 are depleted from GC-rich regions and regulatory regions associated with active transcription. H1.1 shows a binding profile distinct from the other subtypes, suggesting a unique function for H1.1 in chromatin-regulated processes. Interestingly, our data indicate a novel role for somatic H1 subtypes in the three-dimensional organization of the genome by marking repressive regions within topological domains such as LADs. Our work integrates the five somatic linker histone H1 subtypes into the epigenome maps of human cells and provides a resource to refine our understanding of the significance of H1 and its heterogeneity in the control of genome function.

Genome-wide profiling of linker histone variant H1.3 in T47D-MTVL cancer cell line

Project description:Human somatic cells may contain up to seven members of the histone H1 family contributing to chromatin compaction and regulation of nuclear processes, apparently with certain subtype specificities. Our previous studies of H1.0, H1.2, H1.4, H1.5, and H1X genome-wide distribution determined that H1 variants are distributed in a variant-specific manner throughout the genome. We have been able to extend our study of the genomic distribution of the H1 family from five to six proteins thanks to the acquisition and validation of a new ChIP-grade endogenous antibody against histone H1.3.

Transcription Rate Strongly Affects Splicing Fidelity and Co-transcriptionality in Budding Yeast

Project description:The functional consequences for alternative splicing of altering the transcription rate have been the subject of intensive study in mammalian cells but less is known about effects on splicing of changing the transcription rate in yeast. We present several lines of evidence showing that slow RNA polymerase II elongation increases both co-transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency and faster elongation reduces co transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency in budding yeast, suggesting that splicing is more efficient when co-transcriptional. Moreover, we demonstrate that altering RNA polymerase II elongation rate in either direction compromises splicing fidelity, and we reveal that splicing fidelity depends largely on intron length together with secondary structure and splice site score. These effects are notably stronger for the highly expressed ribosomal protein coding transcripts. We propose that transcription by RNA polymerase II is tuned to optimise the efficiency and accuracy of ribosomal protein gene expression, while allowing flexibility in splice site choice with the nonribosomal protein transcripts.

Genome-wide profiling of histone H1 variants in T47D-MTVL cells

Project description:Human somatic cells may contain up to seven members of the histone H1 family contributing to chromatin compaction and regulation of nuclear processes, apparently with certain subtype specificities. Previous studies in T47D breast cancer cells determined that H1 variants are distributed in a variant-specific manner throughout the genome, although only H1.2 and H1X endogenous variants were mapped. Now, we performed ChIP-seq of five endogenous H1 variants (H1.0, H1.2, H1.4, H1.5, H1X) in T47D cells.

Histone H1 distribution and epitope exposure within chromatin high-order structure

Project description:Within the cell nucleus, histone H1 is the most mobile histone. Yet, it is regarded as key to the establishment and stability of chromatin higher-order structure. The implication is that chromatin higher-order structure is dynamic, in part due to the mobility of H1. Defining the positions of H1 on chromatin in situ, therefore, represents a challenge. Immunoprecipitation of formaldehyde-fixed and sonicated chromatin, followed by DNA sequencing (xChIP-seq) is traditionally the method for mapping histones onto DNA elements. But since sonication fragmentation precedes ChIP, there is a consequent loss of information about chromatin higher-order structure. A second formaldehyde fixation after antibody binding to intact in situ chromatin, but before sonication (xxChIP-seq), preserves this information and reveals which histone epitopes are inaccessible in situ. In this study, the distribution of two histone H1 variants H1.2 and H1.5 is defined and compared by both xChIP-seq and xxChIP-seq in undifferentiated HL-60/S4 cells, illustrating the influences of preserved chromatin higher-order structure. We have found that xChIP and xxChIP signals are anticorrelated. H1.2 versus H1.5-enrichments were particularly distinct near bound Pol II, SMC3 proteins, as well as domains marked by H3K4me1, H3K9ac, H3K27ac and H3K36me3. H1.5-enriched regions have an average nucleosome repeat length NRL=184 bp, as opposed to 190 bp for H1.2-enriched regions. We have also studied the distribution of H1 variants with respect to DNA methylation. Most changes of DNA methylation during differentiation appear within ~60bp from the nucleosome entry/exit and are preferably associated with H1.2-bound nucleosomes, whereas H1.5 histones are depleted from CpGs. Our results suggest that different physical packing of nucleosomes may exist in H1.2- versus H1.5-enriched areas, characterized by differential H1 epitope exposure as assessed by xChIP and xxChIP.
