Role of Histone Ubiquitylation and Deubiquitylation as Determined by the Analysis of an HTB1_K123R S. cerevisiae Strain

ABSTRACT: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae histone H2B is ubiquitylated at lysine 123. The SAGA complex component, Ubp8, is one of two proteases that remove this ubiquitin moiety. We analyzed gene expression in a strain containing a variant of histone H2B with lysine 123 converted to arginine to address the mechanisms by which ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation of histone H2B affects gene expression. We show that changes in gene expression observed upon deletion of ubp8 are suppressed by htb1K123R. This provides genetic evidence that Ubp8 alters gene expression through deubiquitylation of histone H2B. Second, microarray analyses of the htb1K123R strain show that loss of histone ubiquitylation results in a two-fold or greater change in expression of ~1.5% of the protein coding genes with greater than two-thirds increasing. For genes in which ubiquitylation represses expression, ubiquitylation principally acts through its effects on histone methylation. In contrast, decreased expression of the CWP1 gene was not paralleled by deletions of the methyltransferase components Swd3, Set2 or Dot1 and is thus likely independent of methylation. Finally, by comparing gene expression changes in the htb1K123R strain with those in a strain deleted for rad6, we conclude that lysine 123 affects transcription primarily because of its being a site of ubiquitylation.

Histone H2B ubiquitylation and H3 lysine 4 methylation prevent ectopic silencing of euchromatic loci important for the cellular response to heat

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ubiquitylation of histone H2B signals methylation of histone H3 at lysine residues 4 (K4) and 79. These modifications occur at active genes but are believed to stabilize silent chromatin by limiting movement of silencing proteins away from heterochromatin domains. In the course of studying atypical phenotypes associated with loss of H2B ubiquitylation/H3K4 methylation, we discovered that these modifications are also required for cell wall integrity at high temperatures. We identified the silencing protein Sir4 as a dosage-suppressor of loss of H2B ubiquitylation, and showed that elevated Sir4 expression suppresses cell wall integrity defects by inhibiting the function of the Sir silencing complex. Using comparative transcriptome analysis, we identified a set of euchromatic genes - enriched in those required for cellular response to heat - whose expression is attenuated by loss of H2B ubiquitylation, but restored by disruption of Sir protein function. Finally, using DNA adenine methyltransferase identification, we found that Sir3 and Sir4 associate with genes that are silenced in the absence of H3K4 methylation. Our data reveal that H2B ubiquitylation/H3K4 methylation play an important role in limiting ectopic association of silencing proteins with euchromatic genes important for cell wall integrity and the response to heat. The transcriptome of four strains, wildtype, htbK123R, sir4delta,and htbK123R sir4delta, were sequenced using Illumina sequencing technology

The Histone Modification Domain of Paf1 Complex Subunit Rtf1 Promotes H2B Ubiquitylation Through a Direct Interaction with the Ubiquitin Conjugase Rad6

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II is regulated by epigenetic modifications to the chromatin template. The mono-ubiquitylation of H2B is established during transcription elongation and broadly impacts chromatin architecture and gene expression. The Polymerase Associated Factor 1 complex (Paf1C) is required for H2B ubiquitylation through an unknown mechanism. Here, we find that a 66-amino acid histone modification domain (HMD) within the Rtf1 subunit of Paf1C promotes H2B ubiquitylation in cells lacking all Paf1C members and present the crystal structure of this domain. Using site-specific in vivo crosslinking, we show that Rtf1 directly interacts with the ubiquitin conjugase Rad6 through a conserved surface on the HMD. Through ChIP-exo analysis, we observe that enrichment of Paf1C correlates with H2B ubiquitylation, and that the HMD, Rad6 and Bre1 localize to H2B. Finally, we demonstrate that the HMD directly stimulates H2B ubiquitylation in a reconstituted system, arguing that Paf1C functions as a cofactor for Rad6-Bre1 mediated catalysis.

Expression data from wild-type and H2B K37A mutant yeast histones

Project description:We identified lysine 37 of histone H2B as a novel site of histone lysine methylation in budding yeast. Microarray analysis was performed to determine global changes in gene expression upon mutation of this lysine residue to a unmodifiable form. Histones were acid-extracted from asynchronously grown yeast expressing wild-type H2B or H2B harboring a K37A mutation.

Genome-wide analysis of histone H3.1 and H3.3 variants in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Nucleosomes package eukaryotic DNA and are composed of four different histone proteins, H3, H4, H2A and H2B. Histone H3 has two main variants, H3.1 and H3.3, which show different genomic localization patterns in animals. We profiled H3.1 and H3.3 variants in the genome of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and show that the localization of these variants shows broad similarity in plants and animals, in addition to some unique features. H3.1 was enriched in silent areas of the genome including regions containing the repressive chromatin modifications H3 lysine 27 methylation, H3 lysine 9 methylation, and DNA methylation. In contrast, H3.3 was enriched in actively transcribed genes, especially peaking at the 3’ end of genes, and correlated with histone modifications associated with gene activation such as histone H3 lysine 4 methylation, and H2B ubiquitylation, as well as by RNA Pol II occupancy. Surprisingly, both H3.1 and H3.3 were enriched on defined origins of replication, as was overall nucleosome density, suggesting a novel characteristic of plant origins. Our results are broadly consistent with the hypothesis that H3.1 acts as the canonical histone that is incorporated during DNA replication, whereas H3.3 acts as the replacement histone that can be incorporated outside of S-phase during chromatin disrupting processes like transcription.

Paf1 complex subunit Rtf1 stimulates H2B ubiquitylation by interacting with the highly conserved N-terminal helix of Rad6

Project description:Histone modifications coupled to transcription elongation play important roles in regulating the accuracy and efficiency of gene expression. The mono-ubiquitylation of a conserved lysine in H2B (K123 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and K120 in humans) occurs co-transcriptionally and is required for initiating a histone modification cascade on active genes. H2BK123 ubiquitylation (H2BK123ub) requires the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-associated Paf1 transcription elongation complex (Paf1C). Through its Histone Modification Domain (HMD), the Rtf1 subunit of Paf1C directly interacts with the ubiquitin conjugase Rad6, leading to the stimulation of H2BK123ub in vivo and in vitro. To understand the molecular mechanisms that specifically target Rad6 to its histone substrate, we identified the site of interaction for the HMD on Rad6. Using in vitro crosslinking followed by mass spectrometry, we localized the primary contact surface for the HMD to the highly conserved N-terminal helix of Rad6. Using a combination of genetic and biochemical experiments, we identified separation-of-function mutations in RAD6 that greatly impair H2BK123 ubiquitylation but not other Rad6 functions. Finally, by employing RNA-sequencing as a sensitive approach for comparing mutant phenotypes, we show that mutating either side of the proposed Rad6-HMD interface yields strikingly similar transcriptome profiles that extensively overlap with those of a mutant that lacks the site of ubiquitylation in H2B. Our results fit a model in which a specific interface between a transcription elongation factor and a ubiquitin conjugase guides substrate selection toward a highly conserved chromatin target during active gene expression.

Co-dependency of H2B monoubiquitination and nucleosome re-assembly on Chd1

Project description:Monoubiquitination of histone H2B on lysine 123 (H2BK123ub) is a transient histone modification considered to be essential for establishing H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation by Set1/COMPASS and Dot1, respectively. Many of the factors such as Rad6/Bre1, the Paf1 complex, and the Bur1/Bur2 complex were identified to be required for proper histone H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation, and were shown to function by regulating H2BK123ub levels. Here, we have identified Chd1 as a factor that is required for proper maintenance of H2B monoubiquitination levels, but not for H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Loss of Chd1 results in a substantial loss of H2BK123ub levels with little to no effect on the genome-wide pattern of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Our data shows that nucleosomal occupancy is reduced in gene bodies in both CHD1 null and K123A backgrounds. We have also demonstrated that Chd1’s function in maintaining H2BK123ub levels is conserved from yeast to human. Our study provides evidence that only small levels of H2BK123ub are necessary for full levels of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation in vivo, and points to a role for Chd1 in positively regulating gene expression through promoting nucleosome re-assembly coupled with H2B monoubiquitination.

Effect of Rad6 backside beta-turn mutations on the chromatin occupancy of the histone H2B ubiquitin-conjugating complex subunits

Project description:Rad6 E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and Bre1 E3 ubiquitin ligase catalyze histone H2B Lysine-123 monoubiquitination (H2Bub1), which stabilizes nucleosomes and regulates the trans-histone H3K4 and K79 methylation during gene transcription and other nuclear processes. The interaction interfaces within the Rad6-Bre1-containing H2B ubiquitin-conjugating complex has remained unknown. By solving the crystal structure of Rad6 along with a non-RING domain N-terminal region of Bre1, we report a beta-turn in Rad6's so-called backside region away from catalytic pocket as a binding site for a homodimer of Bre1 E3 ligase. Using quantitative ChIP-seq or ChIP-Rx, we further demonstrate that Rad6's backside beta-turn residues also govern the chromatin binding dynamics of the Rad6-Bre1 complex.
