Chromatin architectures at fission yeast transcriptional promoters and replication origins

ABSTRACT: We have used micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion followed by deep sequencing in order to obtain a higher-resolution map than previously available of nucleosome positions in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Our data confirm an unusually short average nucleosome repeat length, ~152 bp, in fission yeast and that transcriptional start sites (TSSs) are associated with nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs), ordered nucleosome arrays downstream and less regularly spaced upstream nucleosomes. In addition, we found enrichments for associated function in four of eight groups of genes clustered according to chromatin configurations near TSSs. At replication origins, our data revealed asymmetric localization of Pre-Replication Complex (pre-RC) proteins within large NDRs—a feature that is conserved in fission and budding yeast and is therefore likely to be conserved in other eukaryotic organisms.

Refined mechanism of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions resetting after replication

Project description:Replication disrupts chromatin organization. Thus, rapid resetting of nucleosome positioning is essential to maintain faithful gene expression. The initial step of this reconfiguration occurs at Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). While studies have elucidated the role of Transcription Factors (TFs) and Chromatin Remodelers (CRs) in vitro or in maintaining NDRs in vivo, none has addressed their in vivo function shortly after replication. Through purification of nascent chromatin coupled with yeast genetics, we dissected the choreography of events governing the proper positioning of the -1/+1 nucleosomes flanking promoter NDRs. Our findings reveal that CRs are the primary contributors of -1/+1 repositioning post-replication, with RSC acting upstream of INO80. Surprisingly, while Reb1 and Abf1 TFs are not essential for NDR resetting, they are required for NDR maintenance via the promotion of H3 acetylations. Taken together, we propose a two-step model for NDR resetting in S. cerevisiae: first, CRs alone reset promoter NDRs after replication, while a combination of TFs and CRs is required for subsequent maintenance.

SWI/SNF and RSC cooperate to reposition and evict promoter nucleosomes at highly expressed genes in yeast

Project description:The nucleosome remodeling complex RSC functions throughout the yeast genome to set the positions of -1 and +1 nucleosomes and thereby determines the widths of nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). The related complex SWI/SNF participates in nucleosome remodeling/eviction and promoter activation at certain yeast genes, including those activated by transcription factor Gcn4, but does not appear to function broadly in establishing NDRs. By analyzing the large cohort of Gcn4-induced genes in mutants lacking the catalytic subunits of SWI/SNF or RSC, we uncovered cooperation between these remodelers in evicting nucleosomes from different locations in the promoter and in repositioning the +1 nucleosome downstream to produce wider NDRs, highly depleted of nucleosomes, during transcriptional activation. SWI/SNF also functions on par with RSC at the most highly transcribed constitutively expressed genes, suggesting general cooperation by these remodelers for maximal transcription. SWI/SNF and RSC occupancies are greatest at the most highly expressed genes, consistent with their cooperative functions in nucleosome remodeling and transcriptional activation. Thus, SWI/SNF acts comparably to RSC in forming wide, nucleosome-free NDRs to achieve high-level transcription, but only at the most highly expressed genes exhibiting the greatest SWI/SNF occupancies.

S. pombe genome-wide nucleosome mapping reveals positioning mechanisms distinct from S. cerevisiae

Project description:Positioned nucleosomes limit the access of proteins to DNA and implement regulatory features encoded in eukaryotic genomes. Here we generated the first genome-wide nucleosome positioning map for Schizosaccharomyces pombe and annotated transcription start and termination sites genome-wide. Using this resource we found surprising differences compared to the nucleosome organization in the distantly related yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [the cerevisiae data has been published by others (PMID: 17873876) and the raw data is deposited at ArrayExpress(E-MEXP-1172)]. DNA sequence guides nucleosome positioning differently, e.g., poly(dA:dT) elements are not enriched in S. pombe nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). Regular nucleosomal arrays emanate more asymmetrically, i.e., mainly co-directionally with transcription, from promoter NDRs, but promoters harbouring the histone variant H2A.Z show regular arrays also upstream. Regular nucleosome phasing in S. pombe has a very short repeat length of 154 base pairs, and requires a remodeler, Mit1, conserved in humans but not found in S. cerevisiae. Nucleosome positioning mechanisms are evidently not universal but evolutionarily plastic.

Partitioned Usage of Chromatin Remodelers by Nucleosome Displacing Factors

Project description:Nucleosome-displacing factors (NDFs) in yeast, similar to pioneer factors in higher eukaryotes, cause opening of closed chromatin and formation of nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). NDRs in yeast are also affected by ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers (CRs). However, how NDFs and CRs coordinate in nucleosome invasion and NDR formation is still unclear. Here, we designed a high-throughput method to systematically study the interplay between NDFs and CRs. By combining integrated synthetic oligonucleotide library with DNA methyltransferase-based, single-molecule nucleosome mapping, we measured the impact of CRs on NDRs generated by individual NDFs. We found that CRs were dispensable for nucleosome invasion by NDFs, and they function downstream of NDF binding to modulate the NDR length. A few CRs show high specificity towards certain NDFs; however, in most cases, CRs are recruited in a factor-nonspecific and length-dependent manner. Overall, our study represents a novel framework to investigate how NDFs and CRs cooperate to generate desired pattern of chromatin opening.

Dynamics of yeast ISWI and CHD chromatin remodeler genomic association (part 1)

Project description:Chromatin remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, yeast ISWI and CHD remodelers require > 20 bp of extranucleosomal DNA for remodeling, but linker DNA in S. cerevisiae averages < 20 bp. To resolve this paradox, we have mapped the genomic distributions of the yeast Isw1, Isw2, and Chd1 remodelers at base-pair resolution. Surprisingly, remodelers are highly enriched at promoter nucleosome depleted regions (5' NDRs), where they bind to regions of extended linker DNA. Remodelers are also enriched in the bodies of genes displaying high nucleosome turnover. We hypothesize that remodelers bind but do not act at 5' NDRs, remaining in physical proximity to gene bodies, where they act on regions of transient nucleosome depletion following transcriptional elongation. We have analyzed the dynamics of yeast ISWI and CHD chromatin remodeler genomic association at base-pair resolution using native chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (N-ChIP-seq).
