Project description:Actin-related proteins are ubiquitous components of chromatin remodelers, and are conserved from yeast to man. We have examined the role of the budding yeast actin-related protein Arp6 in gene expression, both as a component of the SWR1 complex (SWR-C) and in its absence. We mapped Arp6-binding sites genome-wide using chromatin immunoprecipitation in mutant and wild-type cells. We find that the majority of Arp6-binding sites in euchromatin coincide with binding sites of Swr1, the catalytic subunit of SWR-C, and with the histone H2A variant Htz1. However, the remaining Arp6 binding in telomeres, centromeres, and the promoters of ribosomal protein (RP) genes are independent of Swr1 and Htz1 deposition. We show that Arp6 can position chromatin at nuclear pores, and is required for the pore association of the RP genes to which it binds. This anchoring is also independent of Swr1. Loss of Arp6, but not Htz1, leads to an up-regulation of RP genes and loss of relocalization. This is in contrast to the Htz1-mediated pore-association of GAL1, for which loss of Arp6 impairs activation. Given that Arp6 is required for SWR-C dependent deposition of Htz1, we conclude that Arp6 contributes to both H2AZ-dependent and H2AZ-independent association with nuclear pores and subsequent effects on gene expression. These data illustrate how nuclear actin-related proteins contribute to the long-range organization of chromatin domains in the interphase nucleus. Four replicates for the arp6 deletion mutant and three replicates for the swr1 deletion mutant compared to wild-type.

Project description:The chromatin of individual chromosomes is organized into chromosome territories (CTs) in the interphase nucleus. The spatial arrangement of CTs is non-random and evolutionarily conserved. The gene-dense and gene-poor CTs are positioned in the nuclear center and periphery, respectively. As candidates for key molecules involved in nuclear organization, we have investigated the nuclear actin-related proteins (Arps), which include the evolutionarily conserved actin-family together with conventional actin. We used a conditional knockout system with chicken DT40 cells to analyze the functions of the actin-related protein Arp6. Consistent with a previous identification of Arp6 in the SRCAP chromatin remodeling complex, the histone variant H2AZ was significantly decreased in the chromatin of Arp6-deficient cells. Most importantly, Arp6-deficient cells had impaired radial positioning of both gene-poor macrochromosome and gene-rich microchromosome CTs. A transcription microarray analysis of the cells suggests that the radial positioning of CTs impacts only a limited number of genes and plays an active role in repression, rather than in induction. As far as we know, this report is the first observation that an inner nuclear protein is required for the radial distribution of CTs, and will provide new insight into the mechanisms and physical significance of the positioning of CTs in the nucleus.

The total RNA was extracted with RNeasy Maxi Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer protocol. The poly-A mRNA was isolated from total RNA using Oligotex-dT30 Super (JSR corporation) and biotinylated cRNA was synthesized according to Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual (Affymetrix). Shortly, 2 ug of poly-A mRNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using 100 pmol of a T7-Oligo (dT) Primer (Invitrogen), and biotinylated cRNA was prepared by in vitro transcription amplification. For hybridization, 15 ug of biotinylated cRNA was fragmented and added into a hybridization cocktail containing four biotinylated hybridization controls (bioB, bioC, bioD, and cre) as recommended by the manufacturer. GeneChip Chicken genome Arrays (Affymetrix) were hybridized with the cocktail at 45ËC for 16 hours. After washing with Non-Stringent wash buffer (6xSSPE, 0.01% Tween20) and staining with SAPE in the Affymetrix GeneChip Fluidics Station 400, the GeneChips were read using the Affymetrix GeneChip scanner 3000 7G. These systems and data analyses were operated with the GeneChip Operating Software 1.3.

Project description:Deposition of histone variant H2A.Z by the SWR1 chromatin-remodeling complex is critical for the appropriate expression of many genes in eukaryotes, yet, despite its importance, the composition of the Arabidopsis SWR1 complex has not been thoroughly analyzed. Here we have identified the interacting partners of a conserved Arabidopsis SWR1 subunit, actin-related protein 6 (ARP6). We isolated 9 predicted components, identifying subunits implicated in histone acetylation and interacting partners implicated in chromatin biology. We found that the methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 (MBD9) subunit functioned synergistically with ARP6 to control flowering time. MBD9, in combination with ARP6, was involved in the SWR1-mediated incorporation of the majority of H2A.Z. MBD6 was further required for deposition of H2A.Z at a distinct subset of loci. MBD9 was preferentially bound to nucleosome-depleted regions at the 5’ of genes containing high levels of activating histone marks. Our data suggests a model for MBD9 in recruiting the SWR1 complex to open chromatin of actively transcribing genes.

Project description:The SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex, which deposits the histone variant H2A.Z into nucleosomes, has been characterized in yeast and animals but had not been purified from plants. We used the conserved SWR1 subunit ACTIN RELATED PROTEIN 6 (ARP6) as bait in tandem affinity purification experiments to isolate associated proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana. We identified all 11 subunits found in yeast SWR1 and the homologous mammalian SRCAP complexes, demonstrating that this complex is conserved in plants. We also identified several additional proteins not previously associated with SWR1, including Methyl-CpG-BINDING DOMAIN 9 (MBD9). Since mbd9 mutant plants were phenotypically similar to arp6 mutants, we further explored a potential role for MBD9 in H2A.Z deposition. We found that MBD9 is required for proper H2A.Z incorporation at thousands of discrete sites, which represent a subset of the regions normally enriched with H2A.Z. Genetic analyses showed that arp6;mbd9 double mutants have far more severe phenotypes than either single mutant. In conjunction with the finding that MBD9 does not appear to be a core subunit of the Arabidopsis SWR1 complex, this suggests that MBD9 also has important roles beyond H2A.Z deposition. Our data establish the SWR1 complex as being conserved across eukaryotes and also provide new insights into the mechanisms that target H2A.Z to chromatin.
