Chromatin-to-nucleoprotamine transition is controlled by the histone H2B variant TH2B [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The conversion of male germ cell chromatin to a nucleoprotamine structure is fundamental to the life cycle yet the underlying molecular details remain obscure. Here we show that an essential step is the genome-wide incorporation of TH2B, a histone H2B variant of hitherto unknown function. Using mouse models in which TH2B is depleted or C-terminally modified we show that TH2B directs the final transformation of dissociating nucleosomes into protamine-packed structures. Depletion of TH2B induces compensatory mechanisms that permit histone removal by up-regulating H2B and programming nucleosome instability through targeted histone modifications, including lysine crotonylation and arginine methylation. Furthermore, after fertilization, TH2B re-assembles onto the male genome during protamine-to-histone exchange. Thus, TH2B is a unique histone variant, which plays a key role in the histone-to-protamine packing of the male genome and guides genome-wide chromatin transitions that both precede and follow transmission of the male genome to the egg.

Total RNA were obtained from testes from meiotic (spermatocytes) and post-meiotic (round spermatids) male germ cells from adult wt and Th2b+/tag mice (experiment 1: 6 biological replicates for each condition) and adult wt and th2bkd mice (experiment 2: 5 biological replicates for each condition). In each experiment, 5 or 6 replicates of each genotype and each cell type were used. Th2b+/tag mice expressed TH2B C-terminally fused to three consecutive affinity tags: His, Flag and Ha. Th2bkd mice did not express any TH2B.

Epigenetic landscape of murine testicular histone variants TH2A and TH2B in sperm

Project description:In this study, chromatin immunoprecipitated sequencing was done for testis specific histone variants of H2B and H2A, TH2B and TH2A to understand the epigenomics of these retained histones, using murine caudal sperm.Our in silico analysis has attributed a myriad of novel functions to sperm retained TH2B with respect to embryo development and spermatogenesis.Also, based on genomic regions, TH2B was observed to be associated with spindle assembly and various meiosis-specific genes, which is an important finding as TH2A/TH2B DKO mice have been reported to have defective cohesin release.We also observed a degree of evolutionary conservation between the TH2B-DNA linkage across human and mouse.This overlap included genes important for embryogenesis. Most importantly, heterogeneity in the epigenetic landscape of TH2A and TH2B was seen which is intriguing as TH2B and TH2A are well reported to be present in the same nucleosomes to promote open chromatin. Additionally, unlike TH2B, TH2A was enriched on the mitochondrial chromosome. We presume that TH2A is associated with mitochondrial DNA inserted in the nuclear DNA and this observation needs further validation.. A comprehensive analysis of these observations indicates novel functions for the sperm retained TH2B and TH2A.

Effect of oocyte-enriched histones Th2a, Th2b, and histone chaperone Npm on mouse iPS cell generation

Effect of oocyte-enriched histones Th2a, Th2b, and histone chaperone Npm on mouse iPS cell generation

Project description:Expression of key transcription factors Klf4, Oct3/4, Sox2, and c-Myc (KOSM) in embryonic stem cells can reprogram somatic cells into pluripotent cells. We found that two histone variants, TH2A and TH2B, and histone chaperone Npm enhance the KOSM-dependent generation of induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) and produce iPSCs only with Klf4 and Oct3/4. To identify directly affected genes by these histone variants during reprogramming, we carried out gene expression profiling of MEFs overexpressing TH2A/TH2B/Npm and TH2A/TH2B deficient MEFs after infection with retroviruses expressing KOSM. A total of 21 Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST array were done for mRNA expression profiling of ES cells, iPS cells induced by Klf4, Oct4, Sox2, and c-Myc (KOSM) or Klf4, Oct4, Th2a, Th2b, and p-Npm (KOBAN), wild-type MEFs infected with retrovirus vectors expressing KOSM, KOSMBAN, or empty vector and Th2a/Th2b-deficient MEFs infected with retrovirus vector expressing KOSM.

Identification of TH2B partners

Project description:Histone replacement by transition proteins (TPs) and protamines (Prms) constitutes an essential step for the successful production of functional male gametes, yet nothing is known on the underlying functional interplay between histones, TPs and Prms. Here, by studying spermatogenesis in the absence of H2A.L.2, a spermatid-specific histone variant, we identify a new step, which is essential for the transformation of nucleosomes to nucleoprotamines. H2A.L.2, synthesized at the same time as TPs, enables the invasion of nucleosomes by TPs, which themselves drive the recruitment and processing of Prms. H2A.L.2 incorporation initiates a series of successive transitional states that ultimately shift to a more stable state characterized by nucleoprotamine assembly and histone-TP displacement, leading to the generation of mature spermatozoa. Hence, the current view of histone-to-nucleoprotein transition should be revisited and include a new step with H2A.L.2 assembly prior to the action of TPs and Prms.
