Effects of Histone H3 depletion on nucleosome occupancy and positioning through the S. cerevisiae genome [RNA_seq]

ABSTRACT: Experiments performed over the past three decades have shown that nucleosomes are transcriptional repressors. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, depletion of histone H4 results in the genome-wide transcriptional de-repression of hundreds genes. The mechanism of de-repression is hypothesized to be rooted directly in chromatin changes. To test this, we reproduced classical H4 depletion experiments by conditional repression of all histone H3 transcription, which depletes the supply of nucleosomes in vivo. RNA-seq results were consistent with the earlier studies, but much more sensitive, revealing nearly 2500 de-repressed genes. Changes in chromatin organization were determined by MNase-seq. Nucleosomes that were preferentially retained occurred in regions of high DNA-encoded nucleosome affinity, and were marked with H3K36me2, which is linked to transcription elongation. Nucleosomes harboring acetyl marks or that contained the variant histone H2A.z were preferentially lost. Genes that were de-repressed lost or rearranged nucleosomes at their promoter, but not in the gene body. Therefore, a combination of DNA-encoded nucleosome stability and nucleosome composition dictates which nucleosomes will be lost under conditions of limiting histone protein. This, in turn, governs which genes will experience a loss of regulatory fidelity.

H4K20me2 SILAC Nucleosome Affinity Purification

Project description:Goal of this project was the identification of chromatin interacting proteins whose binding is differentially regulated by di-methylation of lysine 20 on histone H4 (H4K20me2). To achieve this unodified and H4K20me2-modified histone H4 were generated by native chemical ligation and assembled into recombinant di-nucleosomes. The di-nucleosomes were immobilized on streptavidin-coated beads via the biotinylated di-nucleosomal DNA and used for nucleosome affinity purifications to identify proteins regulated by H4K20me2 from SILAC-labelled HeLaS3 nuclear extracts (Arg10 and Lys8). SILAC affinity purifications were carried out in "forward" (heavy extract on modified nucleosome and light extract on unmodified nucleosome) and "reverse" (light extract on modified nucleosome and heavy extract on unmodified nucleosome) label-swap experiments and protein abundances were quantified by MaxQuant.

Transcription profiling by array of human CD4 positive cells after activation with antiCD3/28 beads

Project description:The positioning of nucleosomes with respect to DNA plays an important role in regulating transcription. However, nucleosome mapping has been performed for only limited genomic regions in humans. We have generated genome-wide maps of nucleosome positions in both resting and activated human CD4+ T cells by direct sequencing of nucleosome ends using the Solexa high-throughput sequencing technique. Corresponding ChIP-Seq data are available in NCBI's Short Read Archive at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/TraceDB/ShortRead/SRA000234/; We find that nucleosome phasing relative to the transcription start sites (TSSs) is directly correlated to RNA polymerase II binding. Furthermore, the first nucleosome downstream of TSSs exhibits differential positioning in active and silent genes. TCR signaling induces extensive nucleosome reorganization in promoters and enhancers to allow transcriptional activation or repression. Our results suggest that H2A.Z-containing and modified nucleosomes are preferentially lost from the -1 nucleosome position. Our data provide a comprehensive view of the nucleosome landscape and its dynamic regulation in the human genome. This microarray dataset is the gene expression data from resting and activated CD4+ T cells. We used this data to look at nucleosome positioning, Pol II and a few chromatin modifications at genes that are silent and activated in both resting and activated T cells as well as genes that are induced or repressed with T cell activation. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression data from resting (M0 and T0) and activated (M18 and T18) T cells.

Nucleosome fragility is associated with future transcriptional response to developmental cues and stress in C. elegans

Project description:Nucleosomes have structural and regulatory functions in all eukaryotic DNA-templated processes. The position of nucleosomes on DNA and the stability of the underlying histone-DNA interactions affect the access of regulatory proteins to DNA. Both stability and position are regulated through DNA sequence, histone post-translational modifications, histone variants, chromatin remodelers, and transcription factors. Here, we explored the functional implications of nucleosome properties on gene expression and development in C. elegans embryos. We performed a time-course of micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion, and measured the relative sensitivity or resistance of nucleosomes throughout the genome. Fragile nucleosomes were defined by nucleosomal DNA fragments that were recovered preferentially in early MNase-digestion time points. Nucleosome fragility was strongly and positively correlated with the AT content of the underlying DNA sequence. There was no correlation between promoter nucleosome fragility and the levels of histone modifications or histone variants. Genes with fragile nucleosomes in their promoters tended to be lowly expressed and expressed in a context-specific way, operating in neuronal response, the immune system, and stress response. In addition to DNA-encoded nucleosome fragility, we also found fragile nucleosomes at locations where we expected to find destabilized nucleosomes, for example at transcription factor binding sites where nucleosomes compete with DNA-binding factors. Our data suggest that in C. elegans promoters, nucleosome fragility is in large part DNA-encoded, and that it poises genes for future context-specific activation in response to environmental stress and developmental cues.

Histone N-tails modulate sequence-specific positioning of nucleosomes

Project description:The precise mechanisms governing sequence-dependent positioning of nucleosomes on DNA remain unknown in detail. Existing algorithms, taking into account the sequence-dependent deformability of DNA and its interactions with the histone globular domains, predict rotational setting of only 65% of human nucleosomes mapped in vivo. To uncover novel factors responsible for the nucleosome positioning, we analyzed potential involvement of the histone N-tails in this process. To this aim, we reconstituted the H2A/H4 N-tailless nucleosomes on human BRCA1 DNA (~100 kb) and compared their positions and sequences with those of the wild-type nucleosomes. In the case of H2A tailless nucleosomes, the AT content of DNA sequences is changed locally at superhelical location (SHL) ±4, while maintaining the same rotational setting as their wild-type counterparts. Conversely, the H4 tailless nucleosomes display widespread changes of the AT content near SHL ±1 and SHL ±2, where the H4 N-tails interact with DNA. Furthermore, a substantial number of H4 tailless nucleosomes exhibit rotational setting opposite to that of the wild-type nucleosomes. Thus, our findings strongly suggest that the histone N-tails are operative in selection of nucleosome positions, which may have wide-ranging implications for epigenetic modulation of chromatin states.

Genome-wide Replication-independent H3 Exchange Occurs Predominantly at Promoters and Implicates H3K56ac and Asf1

Project description:In yeast, histone H3/H4 exchange independent of replication is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the deposition of histone H3 molecules, synthesized during G1, using a high-density microarray histone exchange assay. While we found that H3 exchange in coding regions requires high levels of transcription, promoters exchange H3 molecules in absence of transcription. In inactive promoters, H3 is deposited predominantly in well-positioned nucleosomes surrounding nucleosome free regions, indicating that some nucleosomes in promoters are dynamic. This could facilitate induction of repressed genes. Importantly, we show that histone H3 K56 acetylation, a replication-associated mark, is also present in replication-independent newly assembled nucleosomes and correlates perfectly with the deposition of new H3. Finally, we found that transcription-dependent incorporation of H3 at promoters is highly dependent on Asf1. Taken together our data underline the dynamic nature of replication-independent nucleosome assembly/disassembly, specify a link to transcription and implicate Asf1 and H3 K56 acetylation.
