H2A.Z acetylation fine-tunes gene expression dynamics by regulating H2A.Z degradation

ABSTRACT: H2A.Z acetylation has been suggested to regulate genes but effects on gene expression globally have not been reported. We find that the H2A.Z acetylation sites are required for normal growth in the presence of caffeine and therefore examined the gene expression response to caffeine when H2A.Z can’t be acetylated. Surprisingly we found little or no change in gene induction but a marked failure to remove H2A.Z from activated promoters. Caffeine causes a proteasome-dependent degradation of H2A.Z that is impaired in the absence of the H2A.Z acetylation sites. The proteasomal regulator Blm10 that has previously been implicated in acetylation-dependent histone degradation is required for H2A.Z degradation, revealing a novel role for acetylation in regulating H2A.Z protein levels. When H2A.Z levels are raised, either through loss of the acetylation sites or overexpression of the protein, a shared set of genes aberrantly retains H2A.Z at their 5’ ends during the caffeine response. As a result, expression of these genes fails to return to normal levels. H2A.Z is therefore subject to post-translational proteasomal regulation that controls protein levels, and the fine-tuning of gene expression during a stress response requires the normal function of this pathway. This regulation of H2A.Z degradation by acetylation is a previously unrecognised aspect of gene regulation.

Histone acetyltransferase 2 links H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and transcription start site-choice in African trypanosomes

Project description:Both, acetylation of histones and of histone variant H2A.Z are conserved features of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) and both features appear to be critical for correct transcription initiation. However, complex patterns of transcriptional regulation have complicated the establishment of functional links between histone acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and their importance in transcription regulation. To elucidate these links, we took advantage of the unusual genome organization in Trypanosoma brucei, a highly divergent eukaryote. In T. brucei genes are organized in long polycistronic transcription units, drastically reducing the sites of transcription initiation. Employing a highly sensitive and quantitative mass-spectrometry-based approach, we quantified the genome-wide histone acetylation and methylation pattern and identified various acetyl and methyl marks exclusively enriched at TSSs In addition, we show that deletion of histone acetyltransferase 2 results in a loss of H4 acetylation at TSSs, a loss of H2A.Z deposition at TSSs and a shift in the sites of transcription initiation. Combined, our findings demonstrate an evolutionary conserved link between histone H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and RNA transcription initiation.

Genome-wide ChIP-seq analysis of H2A.Z and H2A.Zac in HeLa Kyoto cells upon knockdown of JAZF1

Project description:The goal was to investigate genome-wide if JAZF1 influences the deposition as well as the acetylation of the histone variant H2A.Z. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that depletion of JAZF1 leads to reduced acetylation of H2A.Z at specific sites.

Transcriptional regulation mediated by H2A.Z via ANP32e-dependent inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A

Project description:The mechanisms that regulate H2A.Z and its requirement for transcription in differentiated mammalian cells remains ambiguous. In this study, we identified the interaction between the C-terminus of ANP32e and N-terminus of H2A.Z in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Knockdown of ANP32e resulted in proteasomal degradation and nuclear depletion of H2A.Z or of a chimeric green florescence protein fused to its N-terminus. This effect was reversed by inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and, conversely, reproduced by overexpression of its catalytic subunit. Accordingly, knockdown of ANP32e inhibited phosphorylation of H2A.Z, whereas a mutation of serine-9 proved its requirement for both the protein’s stability and nuclear localization, as did knockdown of the nuclear mitogen and stress-induced kinase 1. Moreover, ANP32e’s knockdown also revealed its differential requirement for cell signaling and gene expression, whereas, genome-wide binding analysis confirmed its co-localization with H2A.Z at transcription start sites, as well as, gene bodies of inducible genes. The data also suggest that H2A.Z restricts transcription, which is moderated by ANP32e after induction of transcriptional activity of inducible and housekeeping genes vs. constitutively-expressed tissue-specific genes during cellular growth. Thus, ANP32e, through inhibition of PP2A, is required for nucleosomal inclusion of H2A.Z and the regulation of gene expression.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of wild type msc1D and swr1D fission yeast to determine genome-wide distribution of H2A.Z

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are repetitively packaged into chromatin by nucleosomes, however they are regulated by the differences between nucleosomes, which establish various chromatin states. Replication-independent histone exchange could potentially perturb chromatin status if histone exchange chaperones, such as Swr1C, loaded histone variants into wrong sites. Here we use ChIP-chip analysis of H2A.Z-myc to show that in S.pombe, like S.cerevisiae, Swr1C is required for loading H2A.Z into specific sites, including the promoters of lowly expressed genes. However S.pombe Swr1C has an extra subunit, Msc1, which is a JumonjiC-domain protein of the Lid/Jarid1 family. The absence of Msc1 does not disrupt the S.pombe Swr1C or H2A.Z distribution in euchromatin. However in the absence of either Msc1 or Swr1 H2A.Z is ectopically found in the inner centromere and in subtelomeric chromatin. Normally this subtelomeric region, which appears to be a novel chromatin domain that we term ST-chromatin, not only lacks H2A.Z but also shows uniformly lower levels of H3K4me2, H4K5 and K12K5 acetylation than euchromatin. It also disproportionately contains the most lowly expressed genes during vegetative growth, including many meiotic-specific genes. These data describe H2A.Z distribution in S.pombe and identify a new mode of chromatin surveillance and maintenance based on negative regulation of histone variant misincorporation.

A novel SNF2 ATPase complex in Trypanosoma brucei with a role in H2A.Z-mediated chromatin remodelling

Project description:A cascade of histone acetylation events with subsequent incorporation of a histone H2A variant plays an essential part in transcription regulation in various model organisms. A key player in this cascade is the chromatin remodellling complex SWR1, which replaces the canonical histone H2A with its variant H2A.Z. Transcriptional regulation of polycistronic transcription units in the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei has been shown to be highly dependent on acetylation of H2A.Z, which is mediated by the histone-acetyltransferase HAT2. The chromatin remodellling complex, which mediates H2A.Z incorporation is not known and an SWR1 orthologue in trypanosomes has not yet been reported. In this study, we identified and characterised an SWR1-like remodelller complex in T. brucei that is responsible for Pol II-dependent transcriptional regulation. Bioinformatic analysis of potential SNF2 DEAD/Box helicases, the key component of SWR1 complexes, identified a 1211 amino acids-long protein that exhibits key structural characteristics of the SWR1 subfamily. Systematic protein-protein interaction analysis revealed the existence of a novel complex exhibiting key features of an SWR1-like chromatin remodelller. RNAi-mediated depletion of the ATPase subunit of this complex resulted in a significant reduction of H2A.Z incorporation at transcription start sites and a subsequent decrease of steady-state mRNA levels. Furthermore, depletion of SWR1 and RNA-polymerase II (Pol II) caused massive chromatin condensation. The potential function of several proteins associated with the SWR1-like complex and with HAT2, the key factor of H2A.Z incorporation, is discussed.

Nucleic acid sequence contributes to remodeler-mediated targeting of histone H2A.Z

Project description:The variant histone H2A.Z is inserted into nucleosomes immediately downstream of promoters and is important for transcription. The site-specific deposition of H2A.Z is catalyzed by SWR, a conserved chromatin remodeler with affinity for promoter-proximal nucleosome depleted regions (NDRs) and histone acetylation. By comparing the genomic distribution of H2A.Z in wild-type and SWR-deficient cells, we found that SWR is also responsible for depositing H2A.Z at thousands of non-canonical sites not directly linked to NDRs or histone acetylation. To understand the targeting mechanism of H2A.Z, we presented SWR with a library of nucleosomes isolated from yeast and characterized those preferred by SWR. We found that SWR prefers nucleosomes associated with intergenic over coding regions, especially when polyadenine tracks are present. Insertion of polyadenine sequences into recombinant nucleosomes near the H2A-H2B binding site stimulated the H2A.Z insertion activity of SWR. Therefore, the genome is encoded with information contributing to remodeler-mediated targeting of H2A.Z.

A histone acetylation switch regulates H2A.Z deposition by the SWR-C remodeling enzyme

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z plays key roles in gene expression, DNA repair, and centromere function. H2A.Z deposition is controlled by SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes that catalyze the nucleosomal exchange of canonical H2A with H2A.Z. Here we report that acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56Ac) alters the substrate specificity of SWR-C, leading to promiscuous dimer exchange where either H2A.Z or H2A can be exchanged from nucleosomes. This result is confirmed in vivo, where genome-wide analysis demonstrates widespread decreases in H2A.Z levels in yeast mutants with hyperacetylated H3K56. Our work also suggests that a conserved SWR-C subunit may function as a M-bM-^@M-^\lockM-bM-^@M-^] that prevents removal of H2A.Z from nucleosomes. Our study identifies a histone modification that regulates a chromatin remodeling reaction and provides insights into how histone variants and nucleosome turnover can be controlled by chromatin regulators.

Gas41 links histone acetylation to H2A.Z deposition and stem cell identity maintenance

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is essential for maintaining the identity of embryonic stem cell (ESC) by keeping bivalent developmental genes at a poised state. However, how H2A.Z is deposited into the bivalent domains remains unknown. In mammals, two chromatin-remodeling complexes, Tip60/p400 and SRCAP, exchange the canonical histone H2A for H2A.Z in the chromatin. Here we show that Glioma Amplified Sequence 41 (Gas41), a shared subunit of the two H2A.Z-depositing complexes, functions as a reader of histone acetylation and recruits Tip60/p400 and SRCAP to deposit H2A.Z into specific chromatin regions including bivalent domains. The YEATS domain of Gas41 bound to acetylation on histone H3K27 and H3K14 both in vitro and in cells. Crystal structure of the Gas41 YEATS domain in complex with the H3K27ac peptide revealed that, similar to the AF9 and ENL YEATS domains, Gas41 YEATS forms a serine-lined aromatic cage for Kac recognition; mutations of either the aromatic residues of YEATS domain or the nearby residue of H3K27 abrogated the interaction. In mESCs, knockdown of Gas41 led to cell differentiation as the result of derepression of differentiation genes. Importantly, the differentiated morphology was rescued by expressing wild type Gas41, but not the YEATS domain mutated counterparts that do not recognize histone acetylation. Mechanically, we found that Gas41 depletion led to reduction of H2A.Z levels and a concomitant reduction of H3K27me3 levels at the promoters of a subset of bivalent genes. Together, our study identifies the Gas41 YEATS domain as a reader of histone acetylation and establishes a link between histone acetylation and H2A.Z deposition in the maintenance of ESC identity.

H2A.Z marks antisense promoters and has positive effects on antisense transcript levels in budding yeast

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z, which has been reported to have both activating and repressive effects on gene expression, is known to occupy nucleosomes at the 5’ ends of protein-coding genes. We now find that H2A.Z is also significantly enriched in gene coding regions and at the 3’ ends of genes in budding yeast, where it co-localises with histone marks associated with active promoters. By comparing H2A.Z binding to global gene expression in budding yeast strains engineered so that normally unstable transcripts are abundant, we show that H2A.Z is required for normal levels of antisense transcripts as well as sense ones. High levels of H2A.Z at antisense promoters are associated with decreased antisense transcript levels when H2A.Z is deleted, indicating that H2A.Z has an activating effect on antisense transcripts. Decreases in antisense transcripts affected by H2A.Z are accompanied by increased levels of paired sense transcripts. Therefore, the effect of H2A.Z on protein coding gene expression is a reflection of its importance for normal levels of both sense and antisense transcripts.
