Rate Limiting Enzymes in Nucleotide Metabolism Synchronize Nucleotide Biosynthesis and Chromatin Formation [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Fundamental cellular processes including replication, transcription, and repair rely on both an adequate nucleotide supply and sufficient availability of new histones. Chromatin disassembly and reassembly is crucial to maintain genome stability, and is regulated by the orderly engagement of histones with a series of histone chaperones that guide newly synthesized histones from ribosomes to DNA. Although the synthesis of nucleotides and the histone proteins are the two major biosynthetic processes to complete the formation of chromatin, our knowledge about the coordination of these processes is limited. Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetases (PRPSs) catalyze the rate-limiting step in the nucleotide biosynthesis pathway. PRPS enzymes form a complex with PRPS-associated proteins (PRPSAPs). In the present study, we discover that PRPS-PRPSAP enzyme complex are part of the histone chaperone network involving HSP70/90, NASP, HAT1/RBBP7 and importin-4 to regulate chromatin assembly. We show PRPS enzymes are essential not only for nucleotide biogenesis, but together with PRPSAP also play a key role in the heterodimerization of H3-H4 and posttranslational modification of nascent histones, early steps in the process of histone maturation. Depletion of PRPS proteins leads to limited histone availability and therefore to impaired chromatin assembly. Our discovery bridges nucleotide metabolism and chromatin regulation and provides first evidence on how nucleotide biogenesis and chromatin dynamics work in synchrony.

Project description:This model is described in the article: Kinetics of histone gene expression during early development of Xenopus laevis. Koster JG, Destrée OH and Westerhoff HV. J Theor Biol. 1988 Nov 21;135(2):139-67. PMID: 3267765 Abstract: Using literature data for transcriptional and translational rate constants, gene copy numbers, DNA concentrations, and stability constants, we have calculated the expected concentrations of histones and histone mRNA during embryogenesis of Xenopus laevis. The results led us to conclude that: (i) for X. laevis the gene copy number of the histone genes is too low to ensure the synthesis of sufficient histones during very early development, inheritance from the oocyte of either histone protein or histone mRNA (but not necessarily both) is necessary; (ii) from the known storage of histones in the oocyte and the rates of histone synthesis determined by Adamson and Woodland (1977), there would be sufficient histones to structure the newly synthesized DNA up to gastrulation but not thereafter (these empirical rates of histone synthesis may be underestimates); (iii) on the other hand, the amount of H3 mRNA recently observed during early embryogenesis (Koster, 1987, Koster et al., 1988) could direct a higher and sufficient synthesis of H3 protein, also after gastrulation. We present a quantitative model that accounts both for the observed H3 mRNA concentration as a function of time during embryogenesis and for the synthesis of sufficient histones to structure the DNA throughout early embryogenesis. The model suggests that X. laevis exhibits a major (i.e. some 14-fold) reduction in transcription of histone genes approximately 11 hours after fertilization. This reduction could be due to a decrease in the number of transcribed histone genes, a decreased rate constant of transcription with continued transcription of all the histone genes, and/or a reduction in the time during the cell cycle in which histone mRNA synthesis takes place. Alternatively, the histone mRNA stability might decrease approximately 16-fold 11 hours after fertilization. This model originates from BioModels Database: A Database of Annotated Published Models.

Project description:Maintaining the dynamic structure of chromatin is critical for regulating the cellular processes that require access to the DNA template, such as DNA damage repair, transcription, and replication. Histone chaperones and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors facilitate transitions in chromatin structure by assembling and positioning nucleosomes through a variety of enzymatic activities. SMARCAD1 is a unique chromatin remodeler that combines the ATP-dependent ability to exchange histones, with the chaperone-like activity of nucleosome deposition. We have shown previously that phosphorylated SMARCAD1 exhibits reduced binding to nucleosomes. However, it is unknown how phosphorylation affects SMARCAD1’s ability to perform its various enzymatic activities. Here we use mutational analysis, activity assays, and mass spectrometry, to probe SMARCAD1 regulation and to investigate the role of its flexible N-terminal region. We show that phosphorylation affects SMARCAD1 binding to nucleosomes and DNA, as well as ATP hydrolysis and histone exchange. Conversely, we report that phosphorylation is inconsequential for histone binding and nucleosome assembly. In addition, the SMARCAD1 N-terminal region is revealed to be critical for nucleosome assembly and histone exchange. Together, this work examines the intricacies of how phosphorylation governs SMARCAD1 activity and provides insight into its complex regulation and diverse activities.Maintaining the dynamic structure of chromatin is critical for regulating the cellular processes that require access to the DNA template, such as DNA damage repair, transcription, and replication.
