Gcn5 and Esa1 function as histone crotonyltransferases to regulate crotonylation-dependent transcription

ABSTRACT: Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) are critical for processes such as transcription. The more notable among these are the non-acetyl histone lysine acylation modifications such as crotonylation, butyrylation and succinylation. However, the biological relevance of these PTMs is not fully understood because their regulation is largely unknown. Here, we set out to investigate whether the main histone acetyltransferases in budding yeast, Gcn5 and Esa1, possess crotonyltransferase activity. In vitro studies revealed that the Gcn5-Ada2-Ada3 (ADA) and Esa1-Yng2-Epl1 (Piccolo NuA4) histone acetyltransferase complexes have the capacity to crotonylate histones. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that ADA and Piccolo NuA4 crotonylate lysines in the N-terminal tails of histone H3 and H4, respectively. Functionally, we show that crotonylation selectively affects gene transcription in vivo in a manner dependent on Gcn5 and Esa1. Thus, we identify the Gcn5- and Esa1-containing ADA and Piccolo NuA4 complexes as bona fide crotonyltransferases that promote crotonylation-dependent transcription.

Differential requirements for Gcn5 and NuA4 HAT activities in the starvation-induced versus basal transcriptomes

Project description:The histone acetyltransferase (HAT) subunit of coactivator complex SAGA, Gcn5, is required for efficient eviction of promoter nucleosomes at certain highly expressed yeast genes, including those activated by transcription factor Gcn4 in amino acid-deprived cells; however, the importance of other HAT complexes in this process was poorly understood. Analyzing mutations that disrupt the integrity or activity of HAT complexes NuA4 or NuA3, or the HAT Rtt109, revealed that only NuA4 acts on par with Gcn5, and functions additively, in evicting and repositioning promoter nucleosomes and stimulating transcription of starvation-induced genes. NuA4 is generally more important than Gcn5, however, in promoter nucleosome eviction, TBP recruitment, and transcription at most other genes expressed constitutively. NuA4 also predominates over Gcn5 in stimulating TBP recruitment and transcription of genes categorized as principally dependent on the cofactor TFIID versus SAGA, except for the highly expressed subset encoding ribosomal proteins (RPs), where Gcn5 contributes strongly to PIC assembly and transcription. Both SAGA and NuA4 are recruited to promoter regions of SM-induced genes in a manner that appears to be feedback controlled by their HAT activities. Our findings reveal an intricate interplay between these two HATs in nucleosome eviction, PIC assembly, and transcription that differs between the starvation-induced and basal transcriptomes.

Drosophila SWR1 and NuA4 complexes are defined by DOMINO isoform

Project description:Histone acetylation and deposition of H2A.Z variant are integral aspects of active transcrip-tion. In Drosophila, the single DOMINO chromatin regulator complex is thought to combine both activities via an unknown mechanism. Here we show that alternative isoforms of the DOMINO nucleosome remodeling ATPase, DOM-A and DOM-B, directly specify two distinct multi-subunit complexes. Both complexes are necessary for transcriptional regulation but through different mechanisms. The DOM-B complex incorporates H2A.V (the fly ortholog of H2A.Z) genome-wide in an ATP-dependent manner, like the yeast SWR1 complex. The DOM-A complex, instead, functions as an ATP-independent histone acetyltransferase com-plex similar to the yeast NuA4, targeting lysine 12 of histone H4. Our work provides an in-structive example of how different evolutionary strategies lead to similar functional separation. In yeast and humans, nucleosome remodeling and histone acetyltransferase complexes orig-inate from gene duplication and paralog specification. Drosophila generates the same diversi-ty by alternative splicing of a single gene.

Multi-acetylated histones are a source of carbon for lipid synthesis

Project description:Histone modifications commonly integrate environmental stimuli to cellular metabolic outputs by affecting gene expression. Many modifications, including some histone acetylation marks, do not always correlate to transcription, thus pointing towards an alternative role of histone modifications as potential metabolic reservoirs. Using an approach that integrates mass spectrometry- based epi-proteomics and metabolomics with stable isotope tracer studies, we demonstrate that elevated lipids in histone acetyltransferase (HAT)-depleted hepatocytes result from carbon atoms flowing from the deacetylation of multi-acetylated histone H4 to fatty acids. Consistent with this, the enhanced lipid synthesis in HAT-depleted hepatocytes is dependent on the activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and acetyl-CoA synthetase ACSS2. Furthermore, we show that during diet-induced lipid synthesis there is a reduction of multi-acetylated histone H4 in hepatocytes and in mouse liver. In addition, overexpression of histone acetyltransferases can reverse diet-induced lipogenesis by blocking lipid droplet accumulation and maintaining the levels of multi-acetylated histone H4. This study unveils an additional link between epigenetics and metabolism whereby histone acetylation reservoirs may serve as a carbon source for lipid synthesis.

Alternative digestion approaches improve histone modification mapping by mass spectrometry in clinical samples

Project description:Profiling histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in clinical samples holds great potential for the identification of epigenetic biomarkers and the discovery of novel epigenetic targets. We have recently developed a battery of mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches to analyze histone PTMs in different types of primary samples. However, most of these protocols rely on SDS-PAGE separation following histone enrichment in order to eliminate detergents and isolate histones from other proteins present in the sample. As a consequence, many proteolytic enzymes, whose performance is poor in gel, cannot be used, limiting the digestions options for clinical samples, and hence the modification coverage. In this study, we used a simple procedure involving acetone protein precipitation followed by histone enrichment through a C18 StageTip column to obtain histone preparations suitable for various in solution digestion protocols.

GCN5 modulates salicylic acid homeostasis by regulating H3K14ac levels at the 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends of its target genes

Project description:The modification of histones by acetyl groups has a key role in the regulation of chromatin structure and transcription. The Arabidopsis thaliana histone acetyltransferase GCN5 regulates histone modifications as part of the Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA) transcriptional coactivator complex. GCN5 was previously shown to acetylate lysine 14 of histone 3 (H3K14ac) in the promoter regions of its target genes; however, its binding did not systematically correlate with gene activation and the mechanism by which GCN5 controls transcription thus remained unclear. To gain insight into GCN5 function, we fine-mapped its genome-wide binding sites and explored the effect of GCN5 loss-of-function on the expression of its target genes, finding that GCN5 has a dual role in the regulation of H3K14ac levels in their 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends. We found that the gcn5 mutation leads to a genome-wide reduction of H3K14ac in the 5ʹ end of some of the GCN5 targets, a phenomenon associated to their down-regulated in the gcn5 mutant. By contrast, an increase of H3K14ac in the 3ʹ end was observed in GCN5 targets that are up-regulated in the gcn5 mutant, indicating that this protein plays a dual role in the control of H3K14ac levels and in the regulation of transcription. Furthermore, changes in H3K14ac levels in the gcn5 mutant correlated with changes in H3K9ac in a genome-wide fashion at both 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends, providing evidence for a molecular link between the deposition of these two histone modifications. Finally, we show that GCN5 participates in responses to biotic stress by repressing salicylic acid (SA) accumulation and SA-mediated immunity, highlighting the role of this protein in the regulation of the crosstalk between diverse developmental and stress-responsive physiological programs.

Conserved and plant-specific GCN5-containing complexes cooperate to regulate gene transcription and plant development [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Although the conserved histone acetyltransferase HAG1/GCN5-containing complex SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) has been extensively studied in plants, whether HAG1 forms a plant-specific complex is unknown. Here, we identified a plant-specific GCN5-containing complex, PAGA (plant-ADA2A-GCN5-acetyltransferase), in Arabidopsis thaliana; the complex consists of two conserved subunits (HAG1/GCN5 and ADA2A) and four plant-specific subunits (SPC, ING1, SDRL, and EAF6). In the PAGA complex, SPC functions as a scaffold protein that is responsible for integrating the other subunits. SPC also enhances the binding of ING1 to histone H3 with methylated lysine 4 and promotes the histone acetylation activity of HAG1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing indicated that PAGA not only shares target genes with SAGA but also has its specific target genes. While PAGA and SAGA promote transcription by mediating moderate and high levels of histone acetylation, respectively, at different sets of genes, PAGA can also function antagonistically against SAGA to prevent excessive transcription of PAGA- and SAGA-shared target genes. Unlike SAGA, which regulates multiple biological processes, PAGA is mainly involved in plant height and branch growth by regulating the transcription of genes involved in hormone biosynthesis and response. These results indicate that the HAG1-containing SAGA and PAGA complexes are coordinated to regulate gene transcription and development.

GlobaGlobal involvement of lysine crotonylation in protein modification and transcription regulation in ricel involvement of lysine crotonylation in protein modification and transcription regulation in rice

Project description:Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered post-translational modification (PTM) existing in mammalian. Here, we performed a global crotonylome analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L. japonica) using high accuracy nano-LC-MS/MS in combination with crotonylated peptide enrichment. A total of 1,265 lysine crotonylation sites were identified on 690 proteins in rice seedlings. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that 51% of the crotonylated proteins identified were predicted to be associated with chloroplasts. The photosynthesis-associated proteins were also mostly enriched in total crotonylated proteins. Furthermore, to assess the relevance between histone Kcr and the genome, we performed a genomic localization analysis of histone Kcr by ChIP-seq analysis. Of the 10,923 identified peak regions, the majority (86.7%) of the enriched peaks were located in genes, especially exons. Furthermore, the degree of histone Kcr modification was positively correlated with gene expression in genic regions. Compared with other published histone modification data, the Kcr was co-located with the active histone modifications. Interestingly, histone Kcr facilitated expression of genes with existing active histone modifications. In addition, 77% of histone Kcr modifications overlapped with DNase hypersensitive sites (DHSs) in intergenic regions of the rice genome, and might mark other cis-regulatory DNA elements which are different from IPA1, a transcription activator in rice seedling. Overall, our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological functions of the crotonylome and new active histone modification in transcriptional regulation in plants.

Histone acetyltransferase 2 links H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and transcription start site-choice in African trypanosomes

Project description:Both, acetylation of histones and of histone variant H2A.Z are conserved features of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) and both features appear to be critical for correct transcription initiation. However, complex patterns of transcriptional regulation have complicated the establishment of functional links between histone acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and their importance in transcription regulation. To elucidate these links, we took advantage of the unusual genome organization in Trypanosoma brucei, a highly divergent eukaryote. In T. brucei genes are organized in long polycistronic transcription units, drastically reducing the sites of transcription initiation. Employing a highly sensitive and quantitative mass-spectrometry-based approach, we quantified the genome-wide histone acetylation and methylation pattern and identified various acetyl and methyl marks exclusively enriched at TSSs In addition, we show that deletion of histone acetyltransferase 2 results in a loss of H4 acetylation at TSSs, a loss of H2A.Z deposition at TSSs and a shift in the sites of transcription initiation. Combined, our findings demonstrate an evolutionary conserved link between histone H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and RNA transcription initiation.

Acetyl-CoA production by Mediator-bound 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases boosts de novo histone acetylation and is regulated by nitric oxide

Project description:Histone modifying enzymes depend on the availability of cofactors, with acetyl-CoA being required for lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) activity. The discovery that mitochondrial acyl-CoA producing enzymes are also delivered to the nucleus, suggests that high concentrations of metabolites generated locally may impact acetylation of histones and other nuclear substrates and eventually control gene regulation. Here we show that 2-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes were stably associated with the Mediator complex in macrophages, thus providing a local supply of acetyl-CoA and increasing the generation of hyper-acetylated histone tails. Nitric oxide (NO), which is produced in large amounts in LPS-stimulated macrophages, inhibited both the activity of 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases and their association with Mediator. Consequently, NO reduced de novo histone acetylation at genomic regions with high acetyl-CoA deposition rates. Our findings indicate that a local supply of acetyl-CoA generated by Mediator-bound 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases is required to maximize acetylation of histone tails at sites of elevated HAT activity.
