Determinants of H3K4me pattern establishment

ABSTRACT: A hallmark of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNApII) is a "gradient" of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation. Various factors differentially bind to H3K4me3 near promoters, H3K4me2 just downstream, and H3K4me1 further downstream to modulate gene expression. Set1/COMPASS, the single S. cerevisiae H3K4 methyltransferase, binds transcribing RNApII, but COMPASS may also be allosterically regulated by specific subunits and histone H2B ubiquitylation. To ask whether differential H3K4 methylation is determined by regulated activity at specific gene locations or by the amount of time COMPASS spends near the nucleosome, ChIP-Seq analyses was performed in cells with altered transcription elongation rates or with Set1 fused to RNApII. Our results support a simple model where higher H3K4 methylations result from both increased duration and frequency of COMPASS proximity to the nucleosome.

The Set1 N-terminal domain and Swd2 interact with the RNA polymerase II CTD to recruit COMPASS

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by the Set1/COMPASS complex is coupled with active transcription, and this modification is important for regulating gene expression. Set1/COMPASS associates with the RNA polymerase II (RNApII) C-terminal domain (CTD) to establish proper levels and distribution of H3K4 methylations.To ask how the Set1-RNApII CTD binding affects the occupancy and overall level of H3K4 methylations, ChIP-Seq was pefromed in cells transformed with full length or N-terminal truncated Set1. Our results indicate that Set1-RNApII CTD interaction is necessary for maintaining H3K4 methylations throughout the genes.

Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation regulates RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pause-release

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is associated with transcriptional start sites and proposed to regulate transcription initiation. However, redundant functions of the H3K4 SET1/COMPASS methyltransferase complexes complicate elucidation of the specific role of H3K4me3 in transcriptional regulation. Here, we show that acute ablation of shared subunits of the SET1/COMPASS complexes leads to complete loss of all H3K4 methylation. H3K4me3 turnover occurs more rapidly than H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 and is dependent on KDM5 demethylases. Surprisingly, acute loss of H3K4me3 does not have detectable effects on transcriptional initiation but leads to a widespread decrease in transcriptional output, an increase in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pausing and slower elongation. Our study demonstrates a distinct role for H3K4me3 in transcriptional pause-release and elongation rather than transcriptional initiation.

H3K4me3 regulates RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pause-release

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is associated with transcriptional start sites and proposed to regulate transcription initiation. However, redundant functions of the H3K4 SET1/COMPASS methyltransferase complexes complicate elucidation of the specific role of H3K4me3 in transcriptional regulation. Here, by using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) as a model system, we show that acute ablation of shared subunits of the SET1/COMPASS complexes leads to complete loss of all H3K4 methylation. H3K4me3 turnover occurs more rapidly than H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 and is dependent on KDM5 demethylases. Surprisingly, acute loss of H3K4me3 does not have detectable effects on transcriptional initiation but leads to a widespread decrease in transcriptional output, an increase in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pausing and slower elongation. Notably, we show that H3K4me3 is required for the recruitment of the Integrator Complex Subunit 11 (INTS11), which is essential for the eviction of paused RNAPII and transcriptional elongation. Thus, our study demonstrates a distinct role for H3K4me3 in transcriptional pause-release and elongation rather than transcriptional initiation.

Regulation of chromatin structure by Set1 H3K4 methyltransferase and Jhd2 H3K4 demethylase [H3K4me ChIP-seq]

Project description:Histone H3K4 methylation is connected to gene transcription from yeast to humans, but its mechanistic role in transcription and chromatin dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the functions for Set1 and Jhd2, the sole H3K4 methyltransferase and H3K4 demethylase, respectively, in S. cerevisiae. Our data show that Set1 and Jhd2 predominantly co-regulate transcription. We find combined activities of Set1 and Jhd2 via H3K4 methylation contribute to positive or negative transcriptional regulation at shared target genes. Providing mechanistic insights, our data reveal that Set1 and Jhd2 together control nucleosomal occupancy during transcriptional co-regulation. Moreover, we find a remarkable genome-wide co-regulation of nucleosome and chromatin structure by Set1 and Jhd2 at different groups of transcriptionally active or inactive genes and at different regions within yeast genes. Overall, our study prompts a model wherein combined actions of Set1 and Jhd2 via H3K4 methylation−demethylation control chromatin dynamics during various facets of transcriptional regulation.

Feedback control of Set1 protein levels is important for proper H3K4 methylation patterns

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 by the Set1 subunit of COMPASS correlates withactive transcription. Here we show that Set1 levels are regulated by protein degradation in response to multiple signals. Set1 levels are greatly reduced when COMPASS recruitment to genes, H3K4 methylation, or transcription is blocked. The degradation sequences map to N-terminal regions that overlap a previously identified auto-inhibitory domain, as well as the catalytic domain. Truncation mutants of Set1 that cause under- or over-expression produce abnormal H3K4 methylation patterns on transcribed genes. Surprisingly, SAGA-dependent genes are more strongly affected than TFIID-dependent genes, reflecting differences in their chromatin dynamics. We propose that careful tuning of Set1 levels by regulated degradation is critical for establishment and maintenance of proper H3K4 methylation patterns.

Context Dependency of Set1/COMPASS Mediated H3 Lysine 4 Trimethylation

Project description:The stimulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) has been widely studied with multiple mechanisms proposed for this form of histone crosstalk. Cps35/Swd2 within COMPASS is considered to bridge these processes. However, a truncated form of Set1 (762-Set1) is reported to function in H3K4 trimethylation without interacting with Cps35/Swd2, and such crosstalk is attributed to the n-SET domain of Set1 and its interaction with the Cps40/Spp1 subunit of COMPASS. Here, we use biochemical, structural, in vivo, and ChIP-seq approaches to demonstrate that Cps40/Spp1 and the n-SET domain of Set1 are required for the stability of Set1 and not the crosstalk. Furthermore, the apparent wild-type levels of H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the 762-Set1 strain is due to rogue methylase activity of this mutant resulting in the mislocalization of H3K4me3 from the promoter-proximal regions to gene bodies and intergenic regions. We have also performed detailed screens and identified yeast strains lacking H2Bub, but containing intact H2Bub enzymes, that have normal levels of H3K4me3, suggesting that ubiquitination may not directly stimulate COMPASS, but rather works in a context of the PAF and Rad6/Bre1 complexes. Our study demonstrates that the ubiquitination machinery and Cps35/Swd2 function to focus COMPASS’ H3K4me3 activity at promoter-proximal regions in a context dependent manner.

RNA binding by the histone methyltransferases Set1 and Set2

Project description:Histone methylation at H3K4 and H3K36 is commonly associated with genes actively transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and is catalyzed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Set1 and Set2, respectively. Here we report that both methyltransferases can be UV cross-linked to RNA in vivo. High-throughput sequencing of the bound RNAs revealed strong Set1 enrichment near the transcription start site, whereas Set2 was distributed along pre-mRNAs. A subset of transcripts showed notably high enrichment for Set1 or Set2 binding relative to RNAPII, suggesting functional post-transcriptional interactions. In particular, Set1 was strongly bound to the SET1 mRNA, Ty1 retrotransposons, and noncoding RNAs from the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacers, consistent with its previously reported silencing roles. Set1 lacking RNA recognition motif 2 (RRM2) showed reduced in vivo cross-linking to RNA and reduced chromatin occupancy. In addition, levels of H3K4 trimethylation were decreased, whereas levels of dimethylation were increased. We conclude that RNA binding by Set1 contributes to both chromatin association and methyltransferase activity.
