Project description:Linker histones are essential components of chromatin but the distributions and functions of many during cellular differentiation is not well understood. Here, we show that H1.5 binds to genic and intergenic regions, forming blocks of enrichment, in differentiated human cells from all three embryonic germ layers but not in embryonic stem cells. In differentiated cells, H1.5, but not H1.3, binds preferentially to genes that encode membrane and membrane-related proteins. Strikingly, 37% of H1.5 target genes belong to gene family clusters, groups of homologous genes that are located in proximity to each other on chromosomes. H1.5 binding is associated with gene repression and is required for SIRT1 binding, H3K9me2 enrichment and chromatin compaction. Depletion of H1.5 results in loss of SIRT1 and H3K9me2, increased chromatin accessibility, deregulation of gene expression and decreased cell growth. Our data reveal for the first time a specific and novel function for linker histone subtype H1.5 in maintenance of condensed chromatin at defined gene families in differentiated human cells.

Project description:In humans, there are eleven subtypes of linker histones that exhibit cell- and tissue-specific expression. Linker histone H1 proteins bind to both the core histones and linker DNA of chromatin fibers; and not only participate in control of gene activity but also serve to stabilize higher order chromatin structure. To determine the potential roles of linker histones in differentiation, we examined the global distribution of linker histone subtype H1.5 in human IMR90 fibroblasts and H1 embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Surprisingly, H1.5 binds to and represses a large fraction of gene family clusters in fully differentiated cell types representing all three embryonic germ layers. Little or no H1.5 enrichment at gene family clusters was detected in undifferentiated hESCs or partially differentiated somatic cells. We also found that SIRT1 histone deacetylase and H3K9me2, a repressive histone modification, are also enriched at gene family cluster in IMR90 cells, likely generating a stably repressive chromatin domain. To find out the mechanism of H1.5 targeting, H1.5 or SIRT1 was depleted in IMR90 cells by siRNA, and the binding patterns of SIRT1 and H1.5 were examined. In H1.5 knockdown cells, SIRT1 binding pattern was changed dramatically, and this changed pattern highly correlates to SIRT1 distribution in hESC. However, depletion of SIRT1 could not change the global binding pattern of H1.5. Depletion of H1.5 or SIRT1 leads to up-regulation of ~50% gene family clusters. However, the sets of gene family clusters that are affected by these two factors are different, suggesting H1.5 and SIRT1 may regulate gene transcription via different pathways.

Project description:We employed the DamID technique to systematically map the genomic distribution of all canonical somatic H1 subtypes (H1.1-H1.5) in human IMR90 cells. Human cells contain up to eleven histone H1 proteins, with different spatial and temporal expression patterns. These include five canonical, replication-dependent somatic H1 subtypes (H1.1, H1.2, H1.3, H1.4 and H1.5). Despite being a key chromatin component, the genomic distribution of the somatic canonical H1 subtypes is still unknown and their role in chromatin related processes has so far remained elusive. Here we employed a DamID approach to map for the first time the genomic localization of all somatic canonical H1 subtypes in human cells. Our integrative analysis reveals novel insights into H1 subtype distribution and uncovers functional chromatin features potentially regulating the H1 genomic landscape. In general H1.2 to H1.5 are depleted from GC-rich regions and regulatory regions associated with active transcription. H1.1 shows a binding profile distinct from the other subtypes, suggesting a unique function for H1.1 in chromatin-regulated processes. Interestingly, our data indicate a novel role for somatic H1 subtypes in the three-dimensional organization of the genome by marking repressive regions within topological domains such as LADs. Our work integrates the five somatic linker histone H1 subtypes into the epigenome maps of human cells and provides a resource to refine our understanding of the significance of H1 and its heterogeneity in the control of genome function. DamID profiling of somatic linker histone variants H1.1, H1.2, H1.3, H1.4 and H1.5 in human fibroblasts. Two biological replicate samples of all H1 variants were hybridized on NimbleGen Human ChIP-chip 2.1M Economy Whole-Genome Tiling - Array GPL16055 covering small human chromosomes.
