Project description:Chromatin remodelers are vital for cellular functions like transcription by modulating nucleosome accessibility. Although biological condensates regulate these processes, the contribution of chromatin remodelers to condensation mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here, we examine the role of the E1321 frameshift mutation in CHD1, a chromatin remodeler, which is often targeted in cancers. This mutation truncates CHD1's C-terminus, leading to an oncogenic transcriptome and promoting tumorigenesis. This is due to the loss of an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) crucial for forming CHD1 condensates. These condensates are facilitated by the presence of H3K4me3-modified nucleosomes and RNA, guided to active promoters to regulate gene expression. Furthermore, CHD1 condensates contain long noncoding RNA and histone-modifying proteins, revealing an integral role for CHD1 condensates in epigenetic regulation. Among these components, MLL mutations frequently co-occur with CHD1 mutations in various cancers, suggesting a shared pathway in cancer development. These findings underscore the importance of chromatin remodeler condensation as a regulatory hub in various cellular processes and tumor suppression.

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers control the accessibility of genomic DNA through nucleosome mobilization. However, the dynamics of genome exploration by remodelers, and the role of ATP hydrolysis in this process remain unclear. We used live-cell imaging of Drosophila polytene nuclei to monitor Brahma (BRM) remodeler interactions with its chromosomal targets. In parallel, we measured local chromatin condensation and its effect on BRM association. Surprisingly, only a small portion of BRM is bound to chromatin at any given time. BRM binds decondensed chromatin but is excluded from condensed chromatin, limiting its genomic search space. BRM-chromatin interactions are highly dynamic, whereas histone-exchange is limited and much slower. Intriguingly, loss of ATP hydrolysis enhanced chromatin retention and clustering of BRM, which was associated with reduced histone turnover. Thus, ATP hydrolysis couples nucleosome remodeling to remodeler release, driving a continuous transient probing of the genome.

Project description:Nucleosomes in active chromatin are dynamic, but whether they have distinct structural conformations is unknown. To identify nucleosomes with alternative structures genome-wide, we used H4S47C-anchored cleavage mapping, which revealed that nucleosomes at 5% of budding yeast nucleosome positions have asymmetric histone-DNA interactions. These asymmetric interactions are enriched at nucleosome positions that flank promoters. Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) sequence-based profiles of asymmetric nucleosome positions revealed a corresponding asymmetry in MNase protection near the dyad axis, suggesting that the loss of DNA contacts around H4S47 is accompanied by protection of the DNA from MNase. Chromatin immunoprecipitation mapping of selected nucleosome remodelers indicated that asymmetric nucleosomes are bound by the RSC chromatin remodeling complex, which is required for maintaining nucleosomes at asymmetric positions. These results imply that the asymmetric nucleosome-RSC complex is a metastable intermediate representing partial unwrapping and protection of nucleosomal DNA on one side of the dyad axis during chromatin remodeling. We have analyzed the chromatin landscape of the yeast genome using paired-end MNase-seq and the chromatin binding of yeast remodelers Swr1, Ino80 and RSC at base-pair resolution using native chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (N-ChIP-seq).

Project description:ISWI-family chromatin remodelers organize nucleosome arrays, while SWI/SNF-family remodelers (RSC) disorganize and eject nucleosomes, implying an antagonism that is largely unexplored in vivo. Here, we describe two independent genetic screens for rsc suppressors that yielded mutations in the promoter-focused ISW1a complex, or mutations in the ‘basic patch’ of histone H4 (an epitope that regulates ISWI activity), strongly supporting RSC-ISW1a antagonism in vivo. RSC and ISW1a largely co-localize, and genomic nucleosome studies using rsc isw1 mutant combinations revealed opposing functions: promoters classified with a nucleosome-deficient region (NDR) gain nucleosome occupancy in rsc mutants, but this gain is attenuated in rsc isw1 double mutants. Furthermore, promoters lacking NDRs have the highest occupancy of both remodelers, consistent with regulation by nucleosome occupancy, and decreased transcription in rsc mutants. Taken together, we provide the first genetic and genomic evidence for RSC-ISW1a antagonism, and reveal different mechanisms at two different promoter architectures. Genomic localization of RSC, ISW1a, and SWI/SNF complexes were measured by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by Illumina paired-end sequencing. Four strains were analyzed, including Rsc8-9xMyc (YBC2882), Sth1-2xFlag (YBC601 p3018), Ioc3-13xMyc (YBC2883), and Snf2-13xMyc (YBC3010). Each sample consists of one chromatin immunoprecipitate and one input chromatin control.

Genome-wide nucleosome occupancy maps in RSC and rsc null strains were generated by paired-end sequencing of mononucleosomal DNA. Strains carrying the Sth1 degron allele and either pGal-UBR1 (YBC3386) or ubr1 null (YBC3387) represent RSC null and RSC wildtype, respectively.

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.

Two independent biological replicates of two strains, Rsc8-9xMyc (YBC2882) and Ioc3-13xMyc (YBC2883), each grown in two different media, rich glucose media (YPD) or minimal synthetic glucose (SD) media. Each sample consists of one chromatin immunoprecipitate and one input chromatin control. Please note that each sample consists of two replicates (i.e. two raw data files) and the sample data table contains combined quantile normalized data of the replicates.
