A temperature increase induces Atf1/Pcr1-dependent rapid depletion of histone in transcriptionally activated gene bodies in fission yeast

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional regulation is central to organisms’ response and adaptation to environmental changes. However, the coordination of transcriptional machinery with chromatin when rapid transcriptional changes are needed is largely unknown. Here, we studied the rapid response of histone modifications upon heat treatment of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We observed a significant eviction of H3 in the transcribed regions of upregulated genes, named Hasty Overheat-Triggered Differentially Occupied Genes (HOT-DOGs), including Heat Shock Protein-encoding genes. The loss of H3 in a third of the HOT-DOGs were dependent on the Atf1-Pcr1 transcription factor complex. Furthermore, the H3K9 methyltransferase Clr4 likely modulates the rate of transcription elongation and helps prevent transcriptional read-through beyond polyadenylation sites in these genes. Our results unveiled a novel function of Clr4 in regulating the dynamics of transcription within gene bodies and provided insights into how cells cope with rapid environmental changes while preserving chromatin integrity.

Atf1-mediated active gene response to H2O2 challenge.

Project description:Here we present the study on ChIP-chip mapping of the genomic binding sites for Sty1, Atf1, and the Atf1's binding partner Pcr1; the genome-wide transcriptional profiling of the atf1 and pcr1 strains in response to H2O2; and the phenotypic assessment of ~90 Atf1/Pcr1-bound or unbound genes for growth fitness under H2O2 conditions. ChIP-chip analysis shows that Atf1 and Pcr1 binding sites are overlapped in the genome and constitutively present before H2O2 stress. On the other hand, Sty1 recruitment primarily occurs at the Atf1/Pcr1 binding sites and is induced by H2O2. We found that Atf1/Pcr1 is clearly responsible for the high-level transcriptional response to H2O2. Furthermore, phenotypic assessment indicates that among the H2O2-induced genes, Atf1/Pcr1-bound genes exhibit a higher likelihood of functional requirement for growth fitness under the stress condition than the Atf1/Pcr1-unbound genes do. Notably, we found that the Atf1/Pcr1-bound genes regardless of their responsiveness to H2O2 show a high probability of requirement for growth fitness. . Expression level of genes in triplicates at 0min (without stress) is compared with that at 10, 30, 60, and 120min after stress treatment. ChIP-chip analyses is done for Atf1-HA, pcr1-HA, sty1-HA, Sty1-HA allele in the atf1D or pcr1D background without and with H2O2 (0.5mM for 30min).

A Composite DNA Element that Functions as a Maintainer Required for Epigenetic Inheritance of Heterochromatin

Project description:Epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin requires DNA sequence-independent propagation mechanisms, coupling to RNAi, or input from DNA sequence, but how DNA contributes to inheritance is not understood. Here, we identify a DNA element (termed “maintainer”) that is sufficient for epigenetic inheritance of preexisting histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) and heterochromatin in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, but cannot establish de novo gene silencing in wild-type cells. This maintainer is a composite DNA element with binding sites for the Atf1/Pcr1 and Deb1 transcription factors and the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), located within a 130-base pair region, and can be converted to a silencer in cells with lower rates of H3K9me turnover, suggesting that it participates in recruiting the H3K9 methyltransferase Clr4/Suv39h. These results suggest that, in the absence of RNAi, histone H3K9me is only heritable when it can collaborate with maintainer-associated DNA-binding proteins that help recruit the enzyme responsible for its epigenetic deposition.

Acute heat stress amplifies exercise-induced metabolomic perturbations and reveals variation in circulating amino acids in endurance-trained males

Project description:<p>Using untargeted metabolomics, we aimed to characterise the systemic impact of environmental heat stress during exercise. Twenty-three trained male triathletes completed a 30-min exercise test in hot (35°C) and temperate (21°C) conditions. Venous blood samples were collected immediately pre- and post-exercise, and the serum fraction was assessed via untargeted 1H-NMR metabolomics. Data were analysed via uni- and multivariate analyses to identify differences between conditions. Mean power output was higher in temperate (231 ± 36 W) versus hot (223 ± 31 W) conditions (P < 0.001). Mean heart rate (temperate, 162 ± 10 beats per min, hot, 167 ± 9 beats per min, P < 0.001), peak core temperature (Trec ), core temperature change (ΔTrec ) (P < 0.001) and peak rating of perceived exertion (P = 0.005) were higher in hot versus temperate conditions. Change in metabolite abundance following exercise revealed distinct clustering following multivariate analysis. Six metabolites increased (2-hydroxyvaleric acid, acetate, alanine, glucarate, glucose, lactate) in hot relative to temperate (P < 0.05) conditions. Leucine and lysine decreased in both conditions but to a greater extent in temperate conditions (P < 0.05). Citrate (P = 0.04) was greater in temperate conditions whilst creatinine decreased in hot conditions only (P > 0.05). Environmental heat stress increased glycolytic metabolite abundance and led to distinct alterations in the circulating amino acid availability, including increased alanine, glutamine, leucine and isoleucine. The data highlight the need for additional exercise nutrition and metabolism research, specifically focusing on protein requirements for exercise under heat stress.</p>

Phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 tunes chromatin a¬ffinity and relieves inhibition on Suv39/Clr4 H3K9 trimethyl spreading.

Project description:Heterochromatin formation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe requires the spreading of histone 3 (H3) Lysine 9 (K9) methylation (me) from nucleation centers by the H3K9 methylase, Suv39/Clr4, and the reader protein, HP1/Swi6. To accomplish this, Suv39/Clr4 and HP1/Swi6 have to associate with nucleosomes both nonspecifically, binding DNA and octamer surfaces and specifically, via recognition of methylated H3K9 by their respective chromodomains. However, how both proteins avoid competition for the same nucleosomes in this process is unclear. Here, we show that phosphorylation tunes the nucleosome affinity of HP1/Swi6 such that it preferentially partitions onto Suv39/Clr4’s trimethyl product rather than its unmethylated substrates. Preferential partitioning enables efficient conversion from di-to trimethylation on nucleosomes in vitro and H3K9me3 spreading in vivo. Together, our data suggests that phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 creates a regime that relieves competition with the “read-write” mechanism of Suv39/Clr4 for productive heterochromatin spreading.

RNA quality control factors nucleate Clr4/SUV39H and trigger constitutive heterochromatin assembly

Project description:In eukaryotes, the Suv39 family of proteins tri-methylate lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me) to form constitutive heterochromatin. However, how Suv39 proteins are nucleated at heterochromatin is not fully described. In the fission yeast, current models posit that Argonaute1-associated small RNAs (sRNAs) nucleate the sole H3K9 methyltransferase, Clr4/SUV39H, to centromeres. Here, we show that in the absence of all sRNAs and H3K9me, the Mtl1 and Red1 core (MTREC)/PAXT complex nucleates Clr4/SUV39H at a heterochromatic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) at which the two H3K9 deacetylases, Sir2 and Clr3, also accumulate by distinct mechanisms. Iterative cycles of H3K9 deacetylation and methylation spread Clr4/SUV39H from the nucleation center in an sRNA-independent manner, generating a basal H3K9me state. This is acted upon by the RNAi machinery to augment and amplify the Clr4/H3K9me signal at centromeres to establish heterochromatin. Overall, our data reveal that lncRNAs and RNA quality control factors can nucleate heterochromatin and function as epigenetic silencers in eukaryotes.
