Genome-wide targets of conserved histone chaperone Asf1 in budding yeast

ABSTRACT: Asf1, through its histone chaperone activity, helps chromatin closing/opening during DNA replication, repair, recombination and transcription. Despite extensive research on Asf1-mediated physiological functions, a genome-wide localization map is lacking, limiting our knowledge of chromosomal features targeted by Asf1. We present a high-resolution genome-wide map of Asf1, localizing at essentially all pol III-transcribed genes, highly active pol II-transcribed genes and heterochromatic features. Pol III-transcribed genes are negatively regulated by Asf1, whereas pol II genes are regulated indirectly by Asf1-dependent H3K56 acetylation. Interestingly, Asf1 localization along yeast chromosomes shows nearly identical distribution to that of the condensin complex, predicting a functional overlap in chromosome architecture and genome organization.

ChIP-seq analysis of Asf1 targets using a yeast strain that expresses an 18-Myc tag fused to the C-terminus of ASF1. Two biological replicates and one mock/control were performed. The Illumina GAII was used. ChIP-seq reads are aligned to the budding yeast sacCer3 (2011) assembly.

Histone chaperone ASF1 mediates H3.3-H4 deposition in Arabidopsis

Project description:Histone chaperones and chromatin remodelers control nucleosome dynamics, which are essential for transcription, replication, and DNA repair. The histone chaperone Anti-Silencing Factor 1 (ASF1) plays a central role in facilitating CAF-1-mediated replication-dependent H3.1 deposition and HIRA-mediated replication-independent H3.3 deposition in yeast and metazoans. Whether ASF1 function is evolutionarily conserved in plants is unknown. Here, we show that Arabidopsis ASF1 proteins display a preference for the HIRA complex. Simultaneous mutation of both Arabidopsis ASF1 genes caused a decrease in chromatin density and ectopic H3.1 occupancy at loci typically enriched with H3.3. Genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data indicate that ASF1 proteins strongly prefers the HIRA complex over CAF-1. asf1 mutants also displayed an increase in spurious Pol II transcriptional initiation and showed defects in the maintenance of gene body CG DNA methylation and in the distribution of histone modifications. Furthermore, ectopic targeting of ASF1 caused excessive histone deposition, less accessible chromatin, and gene silencing. These findings reveal the importance of ASF1-mediated histone deposition for proper epigenetic regulation of the genome.

Pol II and its associated epigenetic marks are present at pol III-transcribed non-coding RNA genes (I)

Project description:Epigenetic control is an important aspect of gene regulation. Despite detailed understanding of many examples, the transcription of non-coding RNA genes by RNA polymerase (pol) III is less well characterized. Here we profile the epigenetic features of pol III target genes throughout the human genome. This reveals that the chromatin landscape of pol III-transcribed genes resembles that of pol II templates in many ways, although there are also clear differences. Our analysis also discovered an entirely unexpected phenomenon, namely that pol II co-localizes with the majority of genomic loci that are bound by pol III. Chip-Seq experiments for six samples: Pol III, TFIIIB, TFIIIC, H3K4me3 in HeLa cells and Pol III, S2 phos Pol II in CD4+ cells.

Histone H4 acetylation in wild-type, ASF1, SET2 and ASF1 SET2 deletion yeast strains

Project description:ChIP-on chip assays to measure the change in histone acetylation over the yeast genome, in ASF1, SET2 and ASF1 SET2 deletion yeast strains compared to the wild-type control. ChIPs of AcH4 from wild-type, ASF1, SET2 and ASF1 SET2 deletion yeast strains were normalized to the H3 enrichment.

Interaction between TBP and condensing drives the organization and faithful segregation of mitotic chromosomes

Project description:Genome/chromosome organization is highly ordered and controls nuclear events. Here, we show that the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the Cnd2 kleisin subunit of condensin to mediate interphase and mitotic chromosome organization in fission yeast. TBP recruits condensin onto RNA polymerase III-transcribed (Pol III) genes and highly transcribed Pol II genes; condensin in turn associates these genes with centromeres. Inhibition of the Cnd2-TBP interaction disrupts condensin localization across the genome and the proper assembly of mitotic chromosomes, leading to severe defects in chromosome segregation and eventually causing cellular lethality. We propose that the Cnd2-TBP interaction coordinates transcription with chromosomal architecture by linking dispersed gene loci with centromeres. This chromosome arrangement can contribute to the efficient transmission of physical force at the kinetochore to chromosomal arms, thereby supporting the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Genome-wide distributions of condensin and Pol III factors in fission yeast.

Human RNA polymerase III transcriptomes and relationships to Pol II promoter chromatin and enhancer-binding factors.

Project description:RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcribes many noncoding RNAs (for example, transfer RNAs) important for translational capacity and other functions. We localized Pol III, alternative TFIIIB complexes (BRF1 or BRF2) and TFIIIC in HeLa cells to determine the Pol III transcriptome, define gene classes and reveal 'TFIIIC-only' sites. Pol III localization in other transformed and primary cell lines reveals previously uncharacterized and cell type–specific Pol III loci as well as one microRNA. Notably, only a fraction of the in silico–predicted Pol III loci are occupied. Many occupied Pol III genes reside within an annotated Pol II promoter. Outside of Pol II promoters, occupied Pol III genes overlap with enhancer-like chromatin and enhancer-binding proteins such as ETS1 and STAT1. Moreover, Pol III occupancy scales with the levels of nearby Pol II, active chromatin and CpG content. These results suggest that active chromatin gates Pol III accessibility to the genome.
