H3K36ac is an evolutionary conserved histone modification that marks active genes in plants

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotic cells, DNA is tightly packed in the nucleus in chromatin which has histones as its main protein component. Histones are subject to a large number of distinct post-translational modifications, whose sequential or combinatorial action affects genome function. Here, we report the identification of acetylation at lysine 36 in histone H3 (H3K36ac) as a modification in Arabidopsis thaliana. H3K36ac was found to be an evolutionary conserved modification in seed plants. It is highly enriched in euchromatin and very low in heterochromatin. Genome-wide ChIP-seq experiments revealed that H3K36ac is generally found at the 5’ end of genes. Independently of gene length, H3K36ac covers about 500 bp, about two to three nucleosomes, immediately downstream of the transcriptional start. H3K36ac overlaps with H3K4me3 and the H2A.Z histone variant. The histone acetyl transferase GCN5 and the histone deacetylase HDA19 are required for normal steady state levels of H3K36ac in plants. There is negative crosstalk between H3K36ac and H3K36me3, mediated by the histone methyl transferase SDG8 and GCN5. H3K36ac levels are associated with transcriptional activity but show no linear relation. Instead, H3K36ac is a binary indicator of transcription

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.
