Precise genome-wide mapping of single nucleosomes and linkers in vivo

ABSTRACT: We develop a chemical cleavage method that releases single nucleosome dyad-containing fragments, allowing us to precisely map both single nucleosomes and linkers with high accuracy genome-wide in budding yeast. By comparing nucleosome dyad positioning maps to existing genomic and transcriptomic data, we evaluated the contributions of sequence, transcription, histone H1 and H2A.Z in defining the chromatin landscape. A biophysical model that neglects DNA sequence is presented and shows that steric occlusion suffices to explain the salient features of nucleosome positioning. Our study indicates that steric occlusion, and not DNA sequence, is the most important determinant of genome-wide nucleosome positioning.

Chemical map of S. pombe reveals species-specific features in nucleosome positioning

Project description:Knowing the exact positions of nucleosomes not only advances our understanding of their role in gene regulation, but also the mechanisms that underlie between-species variation in chromatin structure. We have generated a chemical map of nucleosomes in vivo in Schizosaccharomyces pombe at base pair resolution. This new map reveals that S.pombe genome shares a similar periodic linker length distribution with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but with major distinctions in nucleosomal/linker DNA sequence features. In S.pombe, A/T rich sequences are enriched in the nucleosome core region, particularly +/-20 bp of dyad, while they are disfavored in S.cerevisiae nucleosomes. The poly (dA-dT) tracts only slightly affect the nucleosome occupancy in S.pombe; and they possess preferential rotational positions within the nucleosome core with significant enrichment in the 10-30 bp region from the dyad for longer tracts. S.pombe does not have well-defined nucleosome free region immediately upstream of most transcription start sites (TSS), instead the -1 nucleosome is positioned with regular distance to the +1 nucleosome, and its occupancy is negatively correlated with gene expression. The nucleosomes around TSS show more pronounced bidirectional phasing when the intergenic distance is relatively short, and the downstream nucleosome positioning is strongly correlated with DNA sequence features. We discovered that heterochromatin regions tend to have sparse nucleosome positioning, mixed with both well-positioned and fuzzy nucleosomes. The S.pombe map suggests that some of nucleosome positioning codes, formerly thought to be intrinsic, may largely depend on species-specific extrinsic factors including linker histone, chromatin remodelers and other DNA-binding proteins. 2 samples were analyzed with high throughput paired-end parallel sequencing. Both samples were created using the same chemical mapping protocol

Dnmt1-Independent CG Methylation Contributes to Nucleosome Positioning in Diverse Eukaryotes

Project description:Dnmt1 epigenetically propagates symmetrical CG methylation in many eukaryotes. Their genomes are typically depleted of CG dinucleotides because of imperfect repair of deaminated methylcytosines. Here, we extensively survey diverse species lacking Dnmt1 and show that, surprisingly, symmetrical CG methylation is nonetheless frequently present and catalyzed by a different DNA methyltransferase family, Dnmt5. Numerous Dnmt5-containing organisms that diverged more than a billion years ago exhibit clustered methylation, specifically in nucleosome linkers. Clustered methylation occurs at unprecedented densities and directly disfavors nucleosomes, contributing to nucleosome positioning between clusters. Dense methylation is enabled by a regime of genomic sequence evolution that enriches CG dinucleotides and drives the highest CG frequencies known. Species with linker methylation have small, transcriptionally active nuclei that approach the physical limits of chromatin compaction. These features constitute a previously unappreciated genome architecture, in which dense methylation influences nucleosome positions, likely facilitating nuclear processes under extreme spatial constraints.

Asymmetric nucleosomes flank promoters in the budding yeast genome

Project description:Nucleosomes in active chromatin are dynamic, but whether they have distinct structural conformations is unknown. To identify nucleosomes with alternative structures genome-wide, we used H4S47C-anchored cleavage mapping, which revealed that nucleosomes at 5% of budding yeast nucleosome positions have asymmetric histone-DNA interactions. These asymmetric interactions are enriched at nucleosome positions that flank promoters. Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) sequence-based profiles of asymmetric nucleosome positions revealed a corresponding asymmetry in MNase protection near the dyad axis, suggesting that the loss of DNA contacts around H4S47 is accompanied by protection of the DNA from MNase. Chromatin immunoprecipitation mapping of selected nucleosome remodelers indicated that asymmetric nucleosomes are bound by the RSC chromatin remodeling complex, which is required for maintaining nucleosomes at asymmetric positions. These results imply that the asymmetric nucleosome-RSC complex is a metastable intermediate representing partial unwrapping and protection of nucleosomal DNA on one side of the dyad axis during chromatin remodeling. We have analyzed the chromatin landscape of the yeast genome using paired-end MNase-seq and the chromatin binding of yeast remodelers Swr1, Ino80 and RSC at base-pair resolution using native chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (N-ChIP-seq).

Regulation of nucleosome positioning by a CHD Type III chromatin remodeller and its relationship to developmental gene expression in Dictyostelium [MNase-seq]

Project description:We utilized MNase-seq to profile nucleosome positions in wild type (Ax2) and ChdC null cells both in growing cells and a partially developed state (loose-mound) to study changes in nucleosome positioning and occupancy during development and the impact the deletion of ChdC an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeller has on nucleosome positioning and occupancy. As a control for MNase sequence bias we also digested naked DNA with MNase.

Stochastic models of nucleosome dynamics reveal regulatory rules of stimulus-induced epigenome remodeling

Project description:The genomic positions of nucleosomes are a defining feature of the epigenomic state and hence of cell identity. Signal-dependent transcription factors (SDTFs), upon activation, modify the positioning of nucleosomes and cause epigenome remodeling. Here, we developed Markov models of nucleosome wrapping and unwrapping, and fit them to high resolution deep sequencing data of DNA accessibility to reveal biophysical principles of nucleosome dynamics. We found that 1) the dynamics of DNA unwrapping are significantly slower in vivo than reported from in vitro experimental data, 2) there is clear evidence for cooperativity in wrapping and unwrapping, 3) SDTF activity produced highest eviction probability when its binding site is close to but not on top of the nucleosome dyad, and 4) oscillatory SDTFs produce more variability than constant SDTF activities. Our work uncovers the regulatory rules governing nucleosome dynamics in vivo, which can predict epigenomic alterations during inflammation at single nucleosome resolution.
