Ablation of Histone H1.4 Reveals Focal Regulation of AP-1 Directed Enhancers

ABSTRACT: Nucleosomes are flanked by histone H1’s which bind linker DNA and aid chromatin compaction. The specific role of linker histone has remained elusive due to complex compensatory mechanisms among H1 variants. H1.4 ablation resulted in robust changes in nascent transcription and gene expression, with critical pathways upregulated (RAR, TNF-α/NF-κB) and extracellular matrix and collagen genes repressed. Alternations to chromatin accessibility intersected extragenic and intronic regions, overlapped sites of known enhancer chromatin, and were of enhancer-size. These sites exhibited concomitant and concordant changes to epigenetic marks (H3K27ac/H3K4me1). Sites which gained accessibility contained binding motifs for basal factors (TBP, SRF), localized to polycomb, heterochromatin and quiescent/low chromatin and gained active RNA transcription in ΔH1.4 cells. However, the AP-1 motif was enriched at sites which lost accessibility, consistent with the gene expression changes. This places histone H1.4 as a hitherto underappreciated regulator of transcriptional response patterns and a dynamic member of regulatory chromatin.

Ablation of Linker Histone H1.4 Reveals Focal Regulation of AP-1 Directed Enhancers and Chromatin Accessibility [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Linker histone H1 and the four nucleosomal histone proteins form the greater chromatosome superstructure of chromatin. While a critical component of the epigenetic landscape, the specific role of H1 has remained elusive due in part to compensation by other H1 family members, a lack of genome-wide analyses, and suitable model systems. Ablation of H1.4 in a human osteosarcoma line with high H1-4 expression resulted in broad changes in DNA accessibility as well as gene expression. Genes in critical signaling pathways are upregulated with H1.4 loss (RAR, acetylcholine/glutaminergic receptors) while extracellular matrix and collagen biosynthesis genes are repressed. The gene loci of the same critical pathways were enriched in differentially accessible chromatin after loss of H1.4, and many of this differential chromatin overlaps regions of known enhancer regions. The AP-1 binding motif was highly enriched at sites with reduced accessibility while sites with gained chromatin accessibility were enriched in more basal factor motifs (TBP, SRF). At sites of altered chromatin accessibility following H1.4-loss, concomitant changes to core histone proteins were observed (H3K27ac and H3K4me1), and the changes in PTMs was concordant with the change in accessibility. Alterations to chromatin accessibility and epigenetic activity were enriched at regions with known enhancer-like chromatin, and the size of the altered chromatin footprints were consistent with enhancer regions. Sites which gain chromatin accessibility localize to polycomb, heterochromatin and quiescent/low chromatin states, but were found to gain RNA transcription in cells lacking H1.4. Broad changes in chromatin accessibility and activity, as well as robust changes in gene transcription when H1.4 is abolished, place linker H1.4 as a hitherto underappreciated regulator of transcription response patterns as well as a dynamic member of regulatory chromatin.

CRAMP1-dependent histone H1 biogenesis is essential for topoisomerase II inhibitor tolerance

Project description:Topoisomerase II (TOP2) inhibitors (TOP2i) are mainstay chemotherapeutic agents that undermine genome integrity by stabilizing TOP2-DNA complexes accompanied by DNA damage formation. Here, we reveal the uncharacterized protein CRAMP1 and H1 linker histones as key effectors of TOP2i tolerance in human cells. We demonstrate that CRAMP1 defines a dedicated histone H1 biogenesis factor stimulating transcription of both replicative and non-replicative H1 genes, driven by its concurrent targeting to histone gene loci and H1-specific promoter motifs. CRAMP1 promotes TOP2i tolerance by maintaining H1 supply, involving a novel mechanism uncoupled from TOP2i-induced DNA damage whereby reducing the H1 pool triggers unscheduled TOP2 substrate formation in low-accessibility chromatin states. This amplifies total demand for TOP2 activity, lowering the threshold for TOP2i-mediated exhaustion of TOP2. Our discoveries elucidate the mechanistic basis of histone H1 biogenesis in human cells, opening opportunities for selectively manipulating linker but not core histone supply and targeting cancer-associated H1 deficiency.

Piwi modulates chromatin accessibility by regulating multiple factors including histone H1 to repress transposons

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) mediate transposable element (TE) silencing at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level in animal gonads. In the Drosophila ovary, Piwiâ??piRNA complexes (Piwiâ??piRISCs) repress TE transcription by modifying the chromatin state, such as H3K9me3 marks. Here, we demonstrate that Piwi physically interacts with linker histone H1. Depletion of Piwi decreases H1 density on target loci, leading to TE derepression. Loss of H1 results in gain of chromatin accessibility at target loci without affecting H3K9me3 and heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) density at the same loci. Piwi-mediated TE silencing also requires HP1a by regulating chromatin accessibility through its association with target loci. Thus, Piwiâ??piRISCs require both H1 and HP1a to repress TEs, and the silencing is correlated with the state of chromatin formation rather than H3K9me3 marks. These findings suggest that Piwiâ??piRISCs regulate the interaction of chromatin components with target loci to maintain silencing of the TE state through the modulation of chromatin accessibility. RNA levels, H1 and H3K9me3 occupancy, chromatin accessibility, and Piwi-associated small RNA levels in ovarian somatic cells (OSC) depleted of piRNA pathway components and H1.

The histone variant H2A.W and linker histone H1 co-regulate heterochromatin accessibility and DNA methylation

Project description:In flowering plants, heterochromatin is demarcated by the histone variant H2A.W, elevated levels of the linker histone H1, and specific epigenetic modifications, such as high levels of DNA methylation at both CG and non-CG sites. How H2A.W regulates heterochromatin organization and interacts with other heterochromatic features is unclear. Here, we create an h2a.w null mutant via CRISPR-Cas9, h2a.w-2, to analyze the in vivo function of H2A.W. We find that H2A.W antagonizes deposition of H1 at heterochromatin and that non-CG methylation and accessibility are moderately decreased in h2a.w-2 heterochromatin. Compared to H1 loss alone, combined loss of H1 and H2A.W greatly increases accessibility and facilitates non-CG DNA methylation in heterochromatin, suggesting co-regulation of heterochromatic features by H2A.W and H1. Our results suggest that H2A.W helps maintain optimal heterochromatin accessibility and DNA methylation by promoting chromatin compaction together with H1, while also inhibiting excessive H1 incorporation.

Genome-wide maps of HMGD1 and H1-bound nucleosomes.

Project description:Chromatin architectural proteins interact with nucleosomes to modulate chromatin accessibility and higher-order chromatin structure. While these proteins are almost certainly important for gene regulation they have been studied far less than the core histone proteins. Here we describe the genomic distributions and functional roles of two chromatin architectural proteins: histone H1 and the high mobility group protein HMGD1, in Drosophila S2 cells. Using ChIP-seq, biochemical and gene specific approaches, we find that HMGD1 binds to highly accessible regulatory chromatin and active promoters. In contrast, H1 is primarily associated with heterochromatic regions marked with repressive histone marks. However, the ratio of HMGD1 to H1 is better correlated with chromatin accessibility, gene expression and nucleosome spacing variation than either protein alone suggesting a competitive mechanism between these proteins. Indeed, we show that HMGD1 and H1 compensate each other’s absence by binding reciprocally to chromatin resulting in changes to nucleosome repeat length and distinct gene expression patterns. Collectively our data suggest that dynamic and mutually exclusive binding of H1 and HMGD1 to nucleosomes and linker sequences may control the fluid chromatin structure that is required for transcriptional regulation. This study thus provides a framework to further study the interplay between chromatin architectural proteins and epigenetics in gene regulation. ChIP-seq of HMGD1 and Histone H1 bound nucleosomes as well as MNase-seq of total nucleosome in Drosophila S2 cells

Identification and analysis of phosphorylation within Xenopus laevis linker histone H1.0

Project description:As a key structural component of the chromatin of higher eukaryotes, linker histones (H1s) are involved in stabilizing the folding of extended nucleosome arrays into higher-order chromatin structures and function as a gene-specific regulators of transcription in vivo. The H1 C-terminal domain (CTD) is essential for high affinity binding of linker histones to chromatin and stabilization of higher-order chromatin structure. Importantly, the H1 CTD is an intrinsically disordered domain that undergoes a drastic condensation upon binding to nucleosomes. Moroever, although phosphorylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification (PTM) within the H1 CTD, exactly where this modification is installed and how phosphorylation influences the structure of the H1 CTD remains unclear for many H1s. Using novel mass spectrometry techniques, we identified six phosphorylation sites within the CTD of the archetypal linker histone Xenopus H1.0. We then analyzed nucleosome-dependent CTD condensation and H1-dependent linker DNA conformation for six full-length H1s in which the phosphorylated serine residues were replaced by glutamic acid residues.

Histone H1 binding is restricted by histone variant H3.3 (DamID)

Project description:Linker histones are involved in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure. Although linker histones have been implicated in the regulation of specific genes, it still remains unclear what their principal binding determinants are and how their repressive function in vitro can be reconciled with presumed broad binding in vivo. We generated a full genome, high resolution binding map of linker histone H1 in Drosophila Kc cells, using DamID. H1 binds at similar levels across much of the genome, both in classical euchromatin and heterochromatin. Strikingly, there are pronounced dips of low H1 occupancy around transcription start sites of active genes and at many distant cis-regulatory sites. H1 dips are not due to lack of nucleosomes. Rather, all regions with low binding of H1 show enrichment of the histone variant H3.3 which itself has been linked to high nucleosome turnover. Upon knockdown of H3.3, we find that H1 levels increase at sites previously not covered with H1 with a concomitant increase in nucleosome repeat length. These changes are independent of transcriptional changes. Our results show that the H3.3 protein counteracts association of H1 at genomic sites with high rates of histone turnover. This antagonism provides a mechanism to keep diverse genomic sites in an open chromatin conformation. For this study, we generated DamID profiles of histone H1 and RpII18 in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Additionally, we generated H1 profiles in cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, or H3.3A and H3.3B. Nucleosome positioning profiles were generated in untreated cells and cells treated with RNAi against white, H3.3B, or H3.3A and H3.3B. Profiles of expression changes were generated for H3.3B RNAi and H3.3A and H3.3B RNAi.
