Proteome-wide lysine acetylation profiling to investigate the involvement of histone deacetylase HDA5 in the salt stress response of Arabidopsis leaves

ABSTRACT: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play important roles in the acclimation of plants to environmental stress. Lysine acetylation is a dynamic and reversible PTM, which can be removed by histone deacetylases. Here we investigated the role of lysine acetylation in the response of Arabidopsis leaves to one week of salt stress. A quantitative mass spectrometry analysis revealed an increase in lysine acetylation of several proteins from cytosol and plastids, which was accompanied by an altered HDAC activity in the salt-treated leaves. While activities of HDA14 and HDA15 were decreased upon salt stress, HDA5 showed a mild and HDA19 a strongly increased activity. Since HDA5 is a cytosolic-nuclear enzyme from the class II histone deacetylase family with yet unknown protein substrates, we performed a lysine acetylome analysis on hda5 mutants and characterized its substrate proteins. Next to histone H2B, the salt stress responsive transcription factor GT2L and the dehydration-related protein ERD7 were identified as HDA5 substrates. In addition, in protein-protein interaction studies HDA18 was discovered, among other interacting proteins, to work in a complex together with HDA5. Altogether this study revealed the substrate proteins of HDA5 and identified new lysine acetylation sites which are hyperacetylated upon salt stress. The identification of the specific histone deacetylase substrate proteins, apart from histones, will be important to unravel the acclimation response of Arabidopsis to salt stress and their role in plant physiology.

Project description:Specific histone modifications play important roles in chromatin functions such as activation or repression of gene transcription. These participation must occur as a dynamic process, however, most of histone modification state maps reported to date only provide static pictures linking certain modification with active or silenced states. This study focused on the global histone modification variation that occurs in response to transcriptional reprogramming produced by a physiological perturbation in yeast. We have performed genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis for eight specific histone modifications before and after of a saline stress. The most striking change is a quick deacetylation of lysines 9 and 14 of H3 and lysine 8 of H4 associated to repression of genes. Genes that are activated increase the acetylation levels at these same sites, but this acetylation process of activated genes seems minor quantitatively to that of the deacetylation of repressed genes. The observed changes in tri-methylation of lysines 4, 36 and 79 of H3 and also di-methylation of lysine 79 of H3 are much more moderate than those of acetylation. Additionally, we have produced new genome-wide maps for six histone modifications at more than five times higher resolution of previous available data and analyzed for the first time in S. cerevisiae genome wide profiles of two more, acetylation of lysine 8 of H4 and di-methylation of lysine 79 of H3. In this research we have shown that dynamic of acetylation state of histones during activation or repression of transcription is a process much quicker than methylation and therefore the changes produced in the acetylation may affect methylation but the reverse path is not possible. The experiments described in this study compare ChIP with a histone modification antibody to a control ChIP with a core histone antibody. Budding yeast samples were analyzed in exponential growing conditions (YPD) or after 10 minutes of 0.4M NaCl stress. For each experiment 1 or 2 biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Background: The regulation of gene activity in response to energy availability is an universal phenomenon. When molecular oxygen is limited the production of ATP is inefficient and growth is curtailed. The plant Arabidopsis thaliana rapidly responds to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) by elevating the abundance of ~50 hypoxia-responsive gene (HRG) transcripts that are prioritized for translation. Many other cellular mRNAs are sequestered in ribonucleoprotein complexes and not translated during hypoxia, including those encoding ribosomal proteins (RPs). Little is known of the effect of hypoxia on nuclear regulatory processes including histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) engagement and nascent transcript production. Here we apply genomic technologies to evaluate epigenetic and transcriptional regulation in response to hypoxia. Results: Hypoxia-induced dynamics in eight chromatin readouts were contrasted to the nuclear, polyadenylated and ribosome-associated mRNAs of Arabidopsis seedlings. This identified patterns of regulatory variation of gene cohorts including the HRGs and RPs. HRGs were characterized by increased chromatin accessibility in their promoters, as well as eviction of the Histone 2A.Z variant, elevation of Histone 3-lysine 9 acetylation, and engagement of RNAPII-Ser2P active in elongation. Following short term stress, over half of the HRGs promoters were bound by the Ethylene Responsive Factor group VII transcription factor, HYPOXIA-RESPONSIVE ERF 2 (HRE2), encoded by an HRG. Prolonged stress maintained RP transcription, accompanied by elevated Histone 3-lysine 14 acetylation (H3K14ac) and nuclear RNA retention. The stress-induced activation of genes associated with heat stress was distinct from the HRGs. These had high RNAPII-Ser2P engagement and nuclear accumulation after short term hypoxia without accumulation of higher levels of polyA RNA. These more progressively upregulated genes were enriched for cis-elements recognized by HEAT SHOCK FACTOR transcriptional activators and had more 5' biased histone marks on their gene bodies They had less H2A.Z eviction, Histone 3-lysine 4 trimethylation and H3K9ac than genes with promoters bound by HRE2 and coordinately upregulated from RNAPII-Ser2P engagement to translation. Genes associated with the circadian cycle, photosynthesis and development were also temporally regulated by hypoxia. Conclusions: Hypoxic stress triggers dynamic epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory variations that differentiate rapid versus more progressive activation of stress-gene transcripts that are destined for translation. Growth-associated genes continue to be transcribed but their nascent transcripts are retained in the nucleus.
