Project description:Nuclear proteins bind chromatin to execute and regulate genome-templated processes. While structural and biochemical studies of individual nucleosome interactions have suggested that an acidic patch on the nucleosome disk surface may be a common site for recruitment to chromatin, the pervasiveness of acidic patch binding and whether other nucleosome surface binding hot-spots exist remains unclear. Here, we use nucleosome affinity proteomics with a library of nucleosomes that collectively disrupts all exposed histone surfaces to establish the universal principles of nucleosome binding. We find that the acidic patch and two adjacent surfaces are the primary hot-spots for nucleosome disk binding and are critical for the majority of nucleosome-protein interactions. In contrast, nearly half of the nucleosome disk surface participates only minimally in protein binding. In addition to establishing the fundamental principles of chromatin binding, our screen defines nucleosome surface requirements of nearly 300 nucleosome interacting proteins implicated in diverse nuclear processes including transcription, DNA damage repair, cell cycle regulation, and nuclear architecture. Building from our screen, we demonstrate that the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome directly binds the acidic patch and elucidate a redundant charge-based mechanism of acidic patch binding by nuclear pore protein ELYS. Overall, our interactome screen illuminates a highly competitive nucleosome binding hub for chromatin-targeted activities and curates a list of nucleosome interacting proteins that will enable mechanistic exploration of many unexpected chromatin-templated nuclear processes.

Project description:Chemical modification of histone proteins by methylation plays a central role in chromatin regulation by recruiting epigenetic ‘readers’ via specialized binding domains. Depending on the degree of methylation, the exact modified amino acid, and the associated reader proteins histone methylations are involved in the regulation of all DNA-based processes, such as transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair. We have previously established a method that allows the unbiased identification of nuclear proteins which binding to nucleosomes is regulated by the presence of specific histone modifications (1,2). The method is based on an in-vitro reconstitution of semi-synthetic nucleosomes bearing a predefined set of histone modifications which are subsequently used as baits for affinity purification pull-down experiments with nuclear extracts followed by identification and quantification of nucleosome-interacting proteins using LC-MS/MS. Here we provide a representative set of label-free MS results for nucleosome pull-down affinity purification experiments performed using unmodified as well as H3K4me3- and H3K9me3-modified di-nucleosomes and nuclear extract obtained from HeLa S3 cells. 1.

Project description:The H2A variant H2AZ is essential for embryonic development and for proper execution of developmental gene expression programs in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Divergent regions in H2AZ are likely key for its functional specialization, but we know little about how these differences contribute to chromatin regulation. Here, we show that the extended acidic patch, specifically the three divergent residues in the C-terminal docking domain, is necessary for lineage commitment during ESC differentiation and proper execution of gene expression programs during ESC differentiation. Surprisingly, disruption of the acidic patch domain has a distinct consequence on cellular specification compared to H2AZ depletion. This is consistent with differences in gene expression profiles of H2AZ M-bM-^@M-^Sdepleted and acidic patch (AP) mutant ESCs during early lineage commitment. Interestingly, the distinct consequence of AP mutant expression on gene regulation is coincidence with an altered destabilized chromatin state and high chromatin mobility dependent on active transcription. Collectively, our data shows that the divergent residues within the acidic patch domain are key structural determinants of H2AZ function and links chromatin structure and dynamics with gene regulation and cell fate specification. H2AZ extended acidic patch was mutated, or H2AZ was KD in mouse embryonic stem cells and RNA-Seq analysis was performed on the resulting cultures. Characterization of H2AZ-WT and -AP3-mutant binding specificities were performed by ChIP-Seq.

Project description:Chromatin remodelers are ATP-dependent enzymes that reorganize nucleosomes within all eukaryotic genomes. The Chd1 remodeler specializes in shifting nucleosomes into evenly spaced arrays, a defining characteristic of chromatin in gene bodies that blocks spurious transcription initiation. Linked to some forms of autism and commonly mutated in prostate cancer, Chd1 is essential for maintaining pluripotency in stem cells. Here we report a complex of yeast Chd1 bound to a nucleosome in a nucleotide-free state, determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to 2.6 Å resolution. The structure shows a bulge of the DNA tracking strand where the ATPase motor engages the nucleosome, consistent with an initial stage in DNA translocation. Unlike other remodeler-nucleosome complexes, nucleosomal DNA compensates for the remodeler-induced bulge with a bulge of the complementary DNA strand one helical turn downstream from the ATPase motor. Unexpectedly, the structure also reveals an N-terminal binding motif, called ChEx, which binds on the exit-side acidic patch of the nucleosome. The ChEx motif can displace a LANA-based peptide from the acidic patch, which suggests a means by which Chd1 remodelers may block competing chromatin remodelers from acting on the opposite side of the nucleosome.

Project description:Targeting transcription replication conflicts, a major source of endogenous DNA double stranded breaks and genomic instability, could have important therapeutic implications. When transcription and DNA replication machineries encounter each other on chromosomes, one way to resolve the conflict is temporarily dislodging RNA polymerase II from the conflict sites to enable the replication fork to proceed. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an essential component of replisomes, plays a critical role in this process. We discovered a small molecule ligand (AOH1996) of PCNA, which targets a binding pocket adjacent to the outer surface region of PCNA known to interact with PIP box and APIM motif proteins. Orally administrable, AOH1996 suppresses tumor growth but causes no discernable side effects. In addition, we found that AOH1996 treatment can stabilize interaction between PCNA and RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. To determine whether the effect of AOH1996 is mediated through affecting PCNA interaction with RPB1, we mutated Y418 within the APIM motif of RPB1 to an alanine in the SK-N-AS cell line by CRISPR and compared changes in protein expression profiles caused by AOH1996 in the parent and mutant SK-N-AS cells.

Project description:We have characterized two post-translational histone modifications in C. elegans on a genomic scale. Micrococcal nuclease digestion and immunoprecipitation were used to obtain distinct populations of single nucleosome cores, which were analyzed using massively parallel DNA sequencing to obtain positional and coverage maps. Two methylated histone H3 populations were chosen for comparison: H3K4 histone methylation (associated with active chromosomal regions) and H3K9 histone methylation (associated with inactivity). From analysis of the sequence data, we found nucleosome cores with these modifications to be enriched in two distinct partitions of the genome; H3K4 methylation was particularly prevalent in promoter regions of widely-expressed genes while H3K9 methylation was enriched on specific chromosomal arms. For each of the six chromosomes, the highest level of H3K9 methylation corresponds to the pairing center responsible for chromosome alignment during meiosis. H3K9 enrichment at pairing centers appears to be an early mark in meiotic chromosome sorting, occurring in the absence of components required for proper pairing of homologous chromosomes. H3K9 methylation shows an intricate pattern within the chromosome arms, with a particular anti-correlation to regions that display a strong ~10 bp periodicity of AA/TT dinucleotides that is known to associate with germline trancription. By contrast to the global features observed with H3K9 methylation, H3K4 methylation profiles were most striking in their local characteristics around promoters, providing a unique promoter-central landmark for 3903 C. elegans genes and allowing a precise analysis of nucleosome positioning in the context of transcriptional initiation. Keywords: epigenetics Examination of total nucleosome and nucleosomes with 2 different histone modifications in C. elegans. 5 samples are analyzed: 1. total mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 2. anti-H3K4me2/3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 3. anti-H3K9me3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 4. total mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans mutant strain zim-2(tm-574), 5. anti-H3K9me3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans mutant strain zim-2(tm-574)

Project description:Methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides represents one of the most important epigenetic mechanisms involved in the control of gene expression in vertebrate cells. In this report, we conducted high-throughput nucleosome reconstitution experiments on 572 KB of human DNA and 668 KB of mouse DNA that was unmethylated or methylated in order to investigate the effects of this epigenetic modification on the positioning and stability of nucleosomes. The DNA loci from both species contained the genes that encode the serum albumin family, the MYC protein, and the tumor suppressor p53. The results demonstrated that a small subset of nucleosomes positioned by nucleotide sequence was sensitive to methylation where the modification increased the affinity of these sequences for the histone octamer. The features that distinguished these nucleosomes from the bulk of the methylation-insensitive nucleosomes were an increase in the frequency of CpG dinucleotides and a unique rotational orientation of CpGs such that their minor grooves tended to face toward the histones in the nucleosome rather than away. We propose that these features serve to enhance the affinity of methylated DNA for the histone octamer and that this effect could be involved in gene regulatory mechanisms such as silencing. These methylation-sensitive nucleosomes were preferentially associated with exons as compared to introns while unmethylated CpG islands near transcription start sites became enriched in nucleosomes upon methylation. The results of this study suggest that the effects of DNA methylation on nucleosome stability in vitro can recapitulate what has been observed in the cell and provide a direct link between DNA methylation and the structure and function of chromatin. For the human data, there were 3 unmethylated nucleosome replicates, 2 methylated nucleosome replicates, an unmethylated MNase control, and an unmethylated sonicated control. For the mouse data, there were 2 unmethylated nucleosome replicates, 2 methylated nucleosome replicates, an unmethylated MNase control, a methylated MNase control, and an unmethylated sonicated control.

Project description:Goal of this project was the identification of chromatin interacting proteins whose binding is differentially regulated by di-methylation of lysine 20 on histone H4 (H4K20me2). To achieve this unodified and H4K20me2-modified histone H4 were generated by native chemical ligation and assembled into recombinant di-nucleosomes. The di-nucleosomes were immobilized on streptavidin-coated beads via the biotinylated di-nucleosomal DNA and used for nucleosome affinity purifications to identify proteins regulated by H4K20me2 from SILAC-labelled HeLaS3 nuclear extracts (Arg10 and Lys8). SILAC affinity purifications were carried out in "forward" (heavy extract on modified nucleosome and light extract on unmodified nucleosome) and "reverse" (light extract on modified nucleosome and heavy extract on unmodified nucleosome) label-swap experiments and protein abundances were quantified by MaxQuant.
