Structural clusters of histone H3 and H4 residues regulate chronological lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Other]

Project description:We have performed a comprehensive analysis of the involvement of histone H3 and H4 residues in the regulation of chronological lifespan in yeast. Residues where substitution resulted in the most pronounced lifespan extension are all on the exposed face of the nucleosome, with the exception of H3E50, which is present on the lateral surface, between two DNA gyres. Other residues that had a more modest effect on lifespan extension were concentrated at the extremities of the H3-H4 dimer, suggesting a role in stabilizing the dimer in its nucleosome frame. Residues implicated in a reduced lifespan were buried in the histone handshake motif, suggesting that these mutations destabilize the octamer structure. All residues exposed on the disk and that caused lifespan extension are known to interact with Sir3. We find that substitution of H4K16 and H4H18 cause Sir3 to redistribute from telomeres and silent mating loci to secondary positions, often enriched for Rap1 or Abf1 binding sites, whereas H3E50 does not. The redistributed Sir3 cause transcriptional repression at most of the new loci, including of genes where null mutants were previously shown to extend chronological lifespan. The transcriptomic profiles of H4K16 and H4H18 mutant strains are very similar, and compatible with a DNA replication stress response. This is distinct from the transcriptomic profile of H3E50, which matches strong induction of oxidative phosphorylation. We propose that different clusters of H3 and H4 residues are involved in either binding to non-histone proteins, or in destabilizing the association of the nucleosome DNA, or disrupting binding of a H3-H4 dimer in the nucleosome, or disturbing the structural stability of the octamer, each category impacting on chronological lifespan through a different path.
