High resolution maps of nucleosome position and interactions [II]

ABSTRACT: Chromatin plays a pivotal role in genome expression, maintenance, and replication. To better understand chromatin organization, we developed a novel proximity-tagging method which assigns unique DNA barcodes to molecules that associate in 3D space. Using this method – termed Proximity Copy Paste (PCP) – we mapped the connectivity of individual nucleosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that chromatin is predominantly organized into regularly spaced nucleosome arrays. The properties of the arrays differs according to transcriptional activity with short delocalized arrays dominating the most highly transcribed genes. Additionally, by mapping long-range, multi-way interactions we provide evidence for the longstanding hypothesis that metaphase chromosomes are compacted by arrayed cohesin hubs. Using single-molecule nuclease footprinting data we define distinct chromatin states within a mixed population to show that noncanonical nucleosomes are a stable feature of chromatin. PCP is a versatile method allowing the connectivity of individual molecules to be mapped at high-resolution

Hrp3-TAP_Purification from Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Project description:Hrp3_Purification from Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- Eukaryotic genome is composed of repeating units of nucleosomes to form chromatin arrays. A canonical gene is marked by nucleosome free region (NFR) at its 5’ end followed by uniformly spaced arrays of nucleosomes. In fission yeast we show both biochemically and in vivo that both Hrp1 and Hrp3 are key determinants of uniform spacing of genic arrays.

Genome-wide maps of nucleosome occupancy in human lymphoblastoid cell lines

Project description:Nucleosomes are important for gene regulation because their arrangement on the genome can control which proteins bind to DNA. Currently, few human nucleosomes are thought to be consistently positioned across cells; however, this has been difficult to assess due to the limited resolution of existing data. We performed paired-end sequencing of micrococcal nuclease-digested chromatin (MNase-seq) from seven lymphoblastoid cell lines and mapped over 3.6 billion MNase-seq fragments to the human genome to create the highest-resolution map of nucleosome occupancy to date in a human cell type. In contrast to previous results, we find that most nucleosomes have more consistent positioning than expected by chance and a substantial fraction (8.7%) of nucleosomes have moderate to strong positioning. In aggregate, nucleosome sequences have 10 bp periodic patterns in dinucleotide frequency and DNase I sensitivity; and, across cells, nucleosomes frequently have translational offsets that are multiples of 10 bp. We estimate that almost half of the genome contains regularly spaced arrays of nucleosomes, which are enriched in active chromatin domains. Single nucleotide polymorphisms that reduce DNase I sensitivity can disrupt the phasing of nucleosome arrays, which indicates that they often result from positioning against a barrier formed by other proteins. However, nucleosome arrays can also be created by DNA sequence alone. The most striking example is an array of over 400 nucleosomes on chromosome 12 that is created by tandem repetition of sequences with strong positioning properties. In summary, a large fraction of nucleosomes are consistently positioned-in some regions because they adopt favored sequence positions, and in other regions because they are forced into specific arrangements by chromatin remodeling or DNA binding proteins.

Stepwise reconstitution of genomic nucleosome organization with pure proteins

Project description:Nucleosome arrays begin at nucleosome-free promoter regions (NFRs) and regulate gene expression. Reconstituting such organization throughout a genome with purified proteins is a critical challenge in establishing biochemical mechanisms for chromosome assembly. Here we establish a four-step hierarchical building plan for yeast genomic nucleosome organization using only purified components: genomic DNA, histones, site-specific organizing factors Abf1 and Reb1, and the chromatin remodelers RSC, ISW2, INO80, and ISW1a. First, RSC makes NFRs by translating promoter poly(dA:dT) tracts into directional nucleosome removal. Second, +1 nucleosomes are positioned by INO80 at most genes potentially involving DNA shape, or by ISW2 using gene-specific Abf1 and Reb1. Third, INO80 or ISW2 create arrays with wide spacing. Fourth, ISW1a tightens the spacing and creates properly positioned arrays. We conclude that entire genomes use a simple set of rules and proteins, without transcription, to build a common chromatin architecture. In this study, nucleosomes were assembled using Salt Gradient Dialysis (SGD) on yeast genomic DNA library. Assembled nucleosomes were either left untreated (labelled as "SGD", control), treated with whole cell extract (WCE), mutant extracts (rsc3ts WCE, isw1 isw2 chd1 WCE), purified remodelers; singly or in combinations (RSC, ISW1a, ISW1b, ISW2, INO80, CHD1, SWI/SNF), combinations of mutant extracts and chromatin remodelers or combination of General Regulatory Factors (Abf1, Reb1) and chromatin remodelers. The resulting nucleosome positions were mapped genome-wide using MNase-(anti-H3-ChIP)-Seq.

Active and repressed chromatin domains exhibit distinct nucleosome segregation during DNA replication

Project description:Chromatin domains and their associated structures must be faithfully inherited through cellular division to maintain cellular identity. Yet, accessing the localized strategies preserving chromatin domain inheritance, specifically the transfer of parental, pre-existing nucleosomes with their associated post-translational modifications (PTMs) during DNA replication is challenging in living cells. We devised an inducible, proximity-dependent labeling system to irreversibly mark replication-dependent H3.1 and H3.2 histone-containing nucleosomes at single desired loci in mouse embryonic stem cells such that their fate after DNA replication could be followed. Strikingly, repressed chromatin domains are preserved through the local re-deposition of parental nucleosomes. In contrast, nucleosomes decorating active chromatin domains do not exhibit such preservation. Notably, altering cell fate leads to an adjustment in the positional inheritance of parental nucleosomes that reflects the corresponding changes in chromatin structure. These findings point to important mechanisms that contribute to parental nucleosome segregation to preserve cellular identity.

Nucleosome recognition and DNA distortion by the Chd1 remodeler revealed at 2.6 Å resolution

Project description:Chromatin remodelers are ATP-dependent enzymes that reorganize nucleosomes within all eukaryotic genomes. The Chd1 remodeler specializes in shifting nucleosomes into evenly spaced arrays, a defining characteristic of chromatin in gene bodies that blocks spurious transcription initiation. Linked to some forms of autism and commonly mutated in prostate cancer, Chd1 is essential for maintaining pluripotency in stem cells. Here we report a complex of yeast Chd1 bound to a nucleosome in a nucleotide-free state, determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to 2.6 Å resolution. The structure shows a bulge of the DNA tracking strand where the ATPase motor engages the nucleosome, consistent with an initial stage in DNA translocation. Unlike other remodeler-nucleosome complexes, nucleosomal DNA compensates for the remodeler-induced bulge with a bulge of the complementary DNA strand one helical turn downstream from the ATPase motor. Unexpectedly, the structure also reveals an N-terminal binding motif, called ChEx, which binds on the exit-side acidic patch of the nucleosome. The ChEx motif can displace a LANA-based peptide from the acidic patch, which suggests a means by which Chd1 remodelers may block competing chromatin remodelers from acting on the opposite side of the nucleosome.

Well-positioned nucleosomes punctuate polycistronic Pol II transcription units and flank silent VSG gene arrays in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei, a member of the Excavates supergroup, falls in an evolutionarily ancient branch of eukaryotes. We have mapped nucleosome positions in T. brucei and identified a map that differs from that of other eukaryotes in several important ways. Unlike in other eukaryotes, the RNA polymerase II initiation regions in T. brucei do not exhibit pronounced nucleosome depletion, and show little evidence for defined -1 and +1 nucleosomes. In contrast, a well-positioned nucleosome is present directly on the splice acceptor sites within the polycistronic transcription units. The RNA polyadenylation sites were depleted of nucleosomes, with a single well-positioned nucleosome present immediately downstream of the predicted sites. The regions flanking the silent Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) gene arrays showed extensive arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes, which may act to repress cryptic transcription initiation. The silent VSG genes themselves exhibited a less regular nucleosomal pattern in both bloodstream and procyclic form trypanosomes. The DNA replication origins, when present within arrays of silent VSG genes, displayed a defined nucleosomal organization compared with replication origins in other chromosomal core regions. Our results indicate that some organizational features of chromatin are evolutionarily ancient, and may already have been present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

A single fiber view of the nucleosome organization of eukaryotic chromatin

Project description:Nucleosomes arrange into extended arrays, much like beads on a string. They are often phased at genomic landmarks and are thought to be evenly spaced. Here we tested to what extent this stereotypic organization describes the nucleosome landscape in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a long-read nucleosome-sequencing technique called Fiber-Seq. Fiber-Seq maps the nucleosome pattern on individual chromatin fibers. As such, it is ideally suited to measure the density of nucleosomes per read and quantitate the nucleosome occupancy throughout the genome. We document substantial deviations from the stereotypical nucleosome organization, with unexpectedly long linker DNAs between individual nucleosomes, genomic regions lacking entire nucleosomes, heterogeneous phasing of arrays, truly irregular spacing of arrays and read-to-read variation in nucleosome densities. We exploited the technology to test mechanistic models for the biogenesis of nucleosome arrays. We can rule out transcription elongation playing a decisive role in array formation and detect signatures for a clamping activity of remodelers of the ISWI and CHD1 families after acute nucleosome depletion in vivo. Given that nucleosomes are cis-regulatory elements, the cell-to-cell heterogeneity that Fiber-Seq uncovers provides much needed information to understand chromatin structure and function.
