Direct interrogation of the role of H3K9 in metazoan heterochromatin function


ABSTRACT: We replaced the endogenous histones of Drosophila melanogaster with histones containing an H3K9R mutation to interrogate the role of H3K9 in heterochromatin formation and function. We queried heterochromatin formation through Formaldhyde Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements coupled with sequencing to examine nucleosome occupancy and Heterochromatin Protein 1a ChIP sequencing to determine the localization of the major reader of H3K9me. We found that regions of pericentromeric heterochromatin exhibit decreased HP1a and nucleosome occupancy in H3K9R mutants. To examine potential consequences of these changes of chromatin architecture, we performed total RNA-seq. In H3K9R mutants we observed increased levels of transposon and pIRNA cluster transcripts; however, the protein-coding transcriptome was similar to controls.
