Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by the Set1/COMPASS complex is coupled with active transcription, and this modification is important for regulating gene expression. Set1/COMPASS associates with the RNA polymerase II (RNApII) C-terminal domain (CTD) to establish proper levels and distribution of H3K4 methylations.To ask how the Set1-RNApII CTD binding affects the occupancy and overall level of H3K4 methylations, ChIP-Seq was pefromed in cells transformed with full length or N-terminal truncated Set1. Our results indicate that Set1-RNApII CTD interaction is necessary for maintaining H3K4 methylations throughout the genes.

Project description:The stimulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) has been widely studied with multiple mechanisms proposed for this form of histone crosstalk. Cps35/Swd2 within COMPASS is considered to bridge these processes. However, a truncated form of Set1 (762-Set1) is reported to function in H3K4 trimethylation without interacting with Cps35/Swd2, and such crosstalk is attributed to the n-SET domain of Set1 and its interaction with the Cps40/Spp1 subunit of COMPASS. Here, we use biochemical, structural, in vivo, and ChIP-seq approaches to demonstrate that Cps40/Spp1 and the n-SET domain of Set1 are required for the stability of Set1 and not the crosstalk. Furthermore, the apparent wild-type levels of H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the 762-Set1 strain is due to rogue methylase activity of this mutant resulting in the mislocalization of H3K4me3 from the promoter-proximal regions to gene bodies and intergenic regions. We have also performed detailed screens and identified yeast strains lacking H2Bub, but containing intact H2Bub enzymes, that have normal levels of H3K4me3, suggesting that ubiquitination may not directly stimulate COMPASS, but rather works in a context of the PAF and Rad6/Bre1 complexes. Our study demonstrates that the ubiquitination machinery and Cps35/Swd2 function to focus COMPASS’ H3K4me3 activity at promoter-proximal regions in a context dependent manner. ChIP-Seq for H3K4ME3 in S. cerevisie wild-type strains and strains expressing a truncated form of Set1: aa762-1080 Set1. H3K4ME3 ChIP-Seq was also compared for wild-type, leo1 knockout, and chd1 knockout strains

Project description:Histone H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) catalyzed by Set1/COMPASS, is a prominent epigenetic mark found in promoter-proximal regions of actively transcribed genes. H3K4me3 relies on prior monoubiquitination at the histone H2B (H2Bub) by Rad6 and Bre1. Swd2/Cps35, a Set1/COMPASS component, has been proposed as a key player in facilitating H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3. However, a more comprehensive investigation regarding the relationship among Rad6, Swd2 and Set1 is required to further understand the mechanisms and functions of the H3K4 methylation. We investigated the genome-wide occupancy patterns of Rad6, Swd2 and Set1 under various genetic conditions, aiming to clarify the roles of Set1 and Rad6 for occupancy of Swd2. Swd2 peaks appear on both 5’region and 3’region of genes, which are overlapped with its tightly bound two complexes, Set1 and CPF (Cleavage and Polyadenylation Factor), respectively. In the absence of Rad6/H2Bub, Set1 predominantly localized to the 5ʹ region of genes, while Swd2 lost all the chromatin binding. However, in the absence of Set1, Swd2 occupancy near the 5’region was impared and rather increased in the 3’ region. This study highlights that catalytic activity of Rad6 is essential for all the ways of Swd2’s binding to the transcribed genes and Set1 redistributes the Swd2 to 5’region for accomplishments of H3K4me3 in the genome-wide level.

Project description:project abstract : H3K4 methylation is a well-conserved histone modification from yeast to human. Because H3K4 methylase Set1 and its complex, COMPASS (Complex of proteins associated with Set1), are conserved from yeast to humans, budding yeast has been studied as an acceptable model organism. Since COMPASS components affect Set1 protein stability and H3K4 methylation activity variously, it is important to study how Set1 is regulated by complex components. However, deletion mutant of Swd2 component of COMPASS is not viable, although overexpression of Sen1 fragment enables the construction of Swd2 deletion mutant. This study found that positioning epitope tag to the N-terminal of Swd2 did not decrease interaction between Swd2 and Set1, but reduced the stability of both proteins, Swd2 and Set1, and global H3K4 methylation. Also, we observed that overexpression of N-terminal tagged Swd2 caused increased Set1 protein level and bulk H3K4 methylation. Therefore, Set1 protein can maintain its protein level only when enough Swd2 exist to cover the protein amount of Set1. Also, by comparing RNA sequencing analysis of N-terminal tagged Swd2 and Swd2 deletion mutant with Sen1 fragment overexpression, we isolated genes regulated by Swd2. In conclusion, we suggest that the abundance of Swd2 is important to regulate the protein stability of Set1 and the regulation of gene expression.

Project description:The functional determinants of histone H3 Lys-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), their potential dependency on histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) and their contribution in defining gene expression programs are poorly defined in plant systems. Differently from S. cerevisiae in which a single SET1 protein catalyzes H3 Lys-4 trimethylation as part of COMPASS (COMPlex of proteins ASsociated with SET1), this activity involves multiple histone methyltransferases (HMTs) in Arabidopsis thaliana, among which the plant-specific SDG2 (SET DOMAIN GROUP2) has a prominent role. Here we report that SDG2 co-regulates hundreds genes with SWD2-like b (S2Lb), a plant ortholog of the Swd2 axillary subunit of the evolutionarily conserved COMPASS complex. Accordingly, S2Lb associates with the AtCOMPASS core subunit WDR5a within a high-molecular weight complex and is required for proper H3K4me3 enrichment over genes highly occupied by RNA Polymerase II. S2Lb knock-out plants display little transcriptomic defects, suggesting that H3K4me3 deposition is important for optimal gene induction rather than for determining on/off transcriptional states. We further report that S2Lb and H3K4me3 are accurately targeted over most genes in hub1 mutant plants lacking histone H2B monoubiquitination. Collectively, our study indicates that a plant-specific COMPASS-like complex acting mainly through an H2Bub-independent mechanism is a major determinant of H3K4me3 deposition in Arabidopsis.
