Project description:Rapid removal of the histone variant H2A.Z from neural chromatin is a key step in learning-induced gene expression and memory formation, but the molecular mechanisms underlying learning-induced H2A.Z removal are unknown. Anp32e was recently identified an H2A.Z-specific histone chaperone that removes H2A.Z from nucleosomes in dividing cells, but whether it plays a similar role in non-dividing neurons is unknown. Moreover, prior studies only investigated effects of Anp32e on H2A.Z binding under steady state-conditions, such that its effect on H2A.Z removal under stimulus-induced conditions is unknown. Here, we show that Anp32e regulates H2A.Z binding in neurons under steady-state conditions, but that stimulus-induced H2A.Z removal is largely independent of Anp32e. In assessing the functional consequences of Anp32e, we showed that its depletion leads to H2A.Z-dependent impairment in dendritic arborization in cultured hippocampal neurons, as well as impaired recall of contextual fear memory and transcriptional regulation. Together, these data indicate the Anp32E regulates behavioral and morphological outcomes by preventing H2A.Z accumulation in chromatin rather than by regulating activity-mediated H2A.Z dynamics.

Project description:ANP32e, a chaperone of H2A.Z, is receiving increasing attention because of its link to cancer growth and progression. An unanswered question is whether ANP32e regulates H2A.Z dynamics during the cell cycle; if so, this could have clear implications for the proliferation of cancer cells. Using the human U2OS cancer cell line model system, we have confirmed that ANP32e regulates the growth of these cells. ANP32e preferentially interacts with H2A.Z during G1 phase of the cell cycle. Unexpectedly, however, ANP32e does not mediate the removal of H2A.Z from chromatin, is not a stable component of the p400 remodeling complex, and is not strongly associated with chromatin. Instead, most ANP32e is in the cytoplasm. Here, ANP32e preferentially interacts with H2A.Z in G1 phase in response to an increase in H2A.Z protein abundance and regulates its protein stability. This G1-specific interaction between ANP32e and H2A.Z is also observed in the nucleoplasm but is unrelated to any change in H2A.Z abundance. Collectively, these results challenge the idea that ANP32e is involved in regulating the abundance of H2A.Z in chromatin as part of a chromatin remodeling complex. Rather, we propose that ANP32e acts as a molecular chaperone that maintains the soluble pool of H2A.Z by regulating its protein stability and acting as a buffer in response to cell cycle-dependent changes in H2A.Z abundance.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of chromatin states is crucial for proper gene expression programs and progression during development, but precise mechanisms by which epigenetic factors influence differentiation remain poorly understood. Here we find that the histone variant H2A.Z accumulates at Sox motif-containing promoters during zebrafish gastrulation while neighboring genes become transcriptionally active. These changes coincide with reduced expression of anp32e, the H2A.Z histone removal chaperone, suggesting that loss of Anp32e may lead to increases in H2A.Z binding during differentiation. Remarkably, genetic removal of Anp32e in embryos leads to H2A.Z accumulation prior to gastrulation and developmental genes become precociously active. Accordingly, H2A.Z accumulation occurs most extensively at Sox motif-associated genes, including many which are normally activated following gastrulation. Altogether, our results provide compelling evidence for a mechanism in which Anp32e preferentially restricts H2A.Z accumulation at Sox motifs to regulate the initial phases of developmental differentiation in zebrafish.

Project description:Genome-wide chromatin state underlies gene expression potential and cellular function. Epigenetic features and nucleosome positioning are major factors in determining chromatin accessibility. Our study investigates how genomic localization of the histone variant H2A.Z regulates chromatin state in mouse fibroblasts. We define H2A.Z as a universal chromatin accessibility factor, and demonstrate that ANP32E antagonizes H2A.Z accumulation to restrict chromatin accessibility genome-wide. In the absence of ANP32E, H2A.Z accumulates in a hierarchical manner at promoters. H2A.Z initially localizes at the +1 nucleosome, and then if H2A.Z is already present at the +1 nucleosome position in WT, additional H2A.Z accumulates at the -1 nucleosome position. This hierarchical H2A.Z accumulation coincides with improved nucleosome positioning, heightened transcription factor footprint protection, and increased expression for neighboring genes. Thus, ANP32E dramatically influences genome-wide chromatin accessibility through refinement of H2A.Z patterns, providing a means to reprogram chromatin state and to hone gene expression levels.

Project description:The mechanisms that regulate H2A.Z and its requirement for transcription in differentiated mammalian cells remains ambiguous. In this study, we identified the interaction between the C-terminus of ANP32e and N-terminus of H2A.Z in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Knockdown of ANP32e resulted in proteasomal degradation and nuclear depletion of H2A.Z or of a chimeric green florescence protein fused to its N-terminus. This effect was reversed by inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and, conversely, reproduced by overexpression of its catalytic subunit. Accordingly, knockdown of ANP32e inhibited phosphorylation of H2A.Z, whereas a mutation of serine-9 proved its requirement for both the protein’s stability and nuclear localization, as did knockdown of the nuclear mitogen and stress-induced kinase 1. Moreover, ANP32e’s knockdown also revealed its differential requirement for cell signaling and gene expression, whereas, genome-wide binding analysis confirmed its co-localization with H2A.Z at transcription start sites, as well as, gene bodies of inducible genes. The data also suggest that H2A.Z restricts transcription, which is moderated by ANP32e after induction of transcriptional activity of inducible and housekeeping genes vs. constitutively-expressed tissue-specific genes during cellular growth. Thus, ANP32e, through inhibition of PP2A, is required for nucleosomal inclusion of H2A.Z and the regulation of gene expression.

Project description:Genome-wide chromatin state underlies gene expression potential and cellular function. Epigenetic features and nucleosome positioning contribute to the accessibility of DNA, but widespread regulators of chromatin state are largely unknown. Our study investigates how coordination of ANP32E and H2A.Z contributes to genome-wide chromatin state in mouse fibroblasts. We define H2A.Z as a universal chromatin accessibility factor, and demonstrate that ANP32E antagonizes H2A.Z accumulation to restrict chromatin accessibility genome-wide. In the absence of ANP32E, H2A.Z accumulates at promoters in a hierarchical manner. H2A.Z initially localizes downstream of the transcription start site, and if H2A.Z is already present downstream, additional H2A.Z accumulates upstream. This hierarchical H2A.Z accumulation coincides with improved nucleosome positioning, heightened transcription factor binding, and increased expression of neighboring genes. Thus, ANP32E dramatically influences genome-wide chromatin accessibility through subtle refinement of H2A.Z patterns, providing a means to reprogram chromatin state and to hone gene expression levels.
