Project description:Project abstract : The trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is a crucial factor in defining the promoter regions of active genes in all eukaryotes ranging from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) to humans. In budding yeast, this trimethylation process facilitated by the Set1 complex results in H3K4me3 requiring a prior mono-ubiquitination at the histone H2BK123 residue (H2Bub) by E2 enzyme Rad6 and E3 enzyme Bre1. A previous in vitro study suggested that ubiquitinated H2B directly facilitates H3K4me3. However, even low levels of global H2Bub is sufficient for the required H3K4me3 in yeast cells, thereby indicating that other factors resulting in the H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3 remain unknown. This study revealed the high level of correlation of H3K4me3 with chromatin recruitment of Rad6 at the genome-wide level. Rad6 is confirmd to interact and co-localize with Swd2/Cps35, a key factor for the H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3 in genes with high levels of H3K4me3 and intronic genes rather than non-intronic genes. This study therefore provides a mechanistic insight of the H2Bub-Rad6- Swd2/Cps35-H3K4me3 axis and its potential role in RNA biogenesis.
