Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is important for transcriptional regulation across eukaryotes, where it can alternately promote or repress transcription. Actively transcribed genes show H2A.Z enrichment in nucleosomes immediately downstream of the transcription start site (TSS), while silent genes show H2A.Z enrichment across the gene body. In plants, previous work shows that silent genes responsive to temperature and light lose gene body H2A.Z upon activation, but whether H2A.Z loss is generally required for transcription is not clear. We profiled H2A.Z and components of its deposition complex, SWR1, before and after treating Arabidopsis thaliana with the hormone abscisic acid (ABA). Our results show that transcribed genes with TSS-enriched H2A.Z have high SWR1 binding, indicating continuous replacement of H2A.Z, while silent genes with gene body H2A.Z show lower SWR1 binding. Surprisingly, upon ABA treatment, thousands of previously silent genes activate, correlating with recruitment of SWR1 and retention of gene body H2A.Z enrichment. We also found that the SWR1-interacting protein MBD9 is not required for SWR1 recruitment to activated genes. These results provide new insights into the relationship between H2A.Z and transcription and the mechanics of H2A.Z targeting to chromatin.

Project description:Histone variant H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes are incorporated at most eukaryotic promoters. This incorporation is mediated by the conserved SWR1 complex, which replaces histone H2A in canonical nucleosomes with H2A.Z in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we show that promoter-proximal nucleosomes are highly heterogeneous for H2A.Z in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with substantial representation of nucleosomes containing one, two, or no H2A.Z molecules. SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro occurs in a stepwise and unidirectional fashion, one H2A.Z-H2B dimer at a time, producing heterotypic nucleosomes as intermediates and homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes as end products. The ATPase activity of SWR1 is specifically stimulated by H2A-containing nucleosomes without ensuing histone H2A eviction. Remarkably, further addition of free H2A.Z-H2B dimer leads to hyperstimulation of ATPase activity, eviction of nucleosomal H2A-H2B and deposition of H2A.Z-H2B. These results suggest that the combination of H2A-containing nucleosome and free H2A.Z-H2B dimer acting as both effector and substrate for SWR1 governs the specificity and outcome of the replacement reaction. Total nucleosomes from MNase-treated nuclear extracts were fractionated by sequential immunoprecipitation into homotypic H2A/H2A (AA), heterotypic H2A/H2A.Z (AZ), and homotypic H2A.Z/H2A.Z (ZZ) nucleosomes.

Project description:We identified three classes of previously uncharacterized plant-specific SWR1 components: MBD9, TRA1a/1b and CHR11/17. We found that CHR11/17 were recruited to the SWR1 complex and facilitate the coupling of H2A.Z deposition with nucleosome sliding, thereby co-regulating gene expression, development, and flowering time.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is a genome-wide signature of nucleosomes proximal to eukaryotic regulatory DNA. While the multi-subunit SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex is known to catalyze ATP-dependent deposition of H2A.Z, the mechanism of recruitment to S. cerevisiae promoters has been unclear. A sensitive assay for competitive binding of di-nucleosome substrates revealed that SWR1 preferentially binds long nucleosome-free DNA adjoining core particles, allowing discrimination of gene promoters over gene bodies. We traced the critical DNA binding component of SWR1 to the conserved Swc2/YL1 subunit, whose activity is required for both SWR1 binding and H2A.Z incorporation in vivo. Histone acetylation by NuA4 enhances SWR1 binding, but the interaction with nucleosome-free DNA is the major determinant. ‘Hierarchical cooperation’ between high affinity DNA- and low affinity histone modification-binding factors may reconcile the large disparity in affinities for chromatin substrates, and unify classical control by DNA-binding factors with post-translational histone modifications and ATP-dependent nucleosome mobility.

Project description:The H2A.Z histone variant is deposited into chromatin by the SWR1 complex affecting multiple aspects of meiosis. Here we describe a SWR1-independent localization of H2A.Z at meiotic telomeres and the centrosome. We demonstrate that H2A.Z colocalizes and interacts with Mps3, the SUN component of the LINC complex that spans the nuclear envelope and links meiotic telomeres to the cytoskeleton promoting meiotic chromosome movement. H2A.Z also interacts with the meiosis-specific Ndj1 protein that anchors telomeres to the nuclear periphery via Mps3. Telomeric localization of H2A.Z depends on Ndj1 and the N-terminal domain of Mps3. Although telomeric attachment to the nuclear envelope is maintained in the absence of H2A.Z, the distribution of Mps3 is altered. The velocity of chromosome movement during meiotic prophase I is reduced in the htz1? mutant lacking H2A.Z, but it is unaffected in swr1? cells. We reveal that H2A.Z is an additional LINC-associated factor that contributes to promote telomere-driven chromosome motion critical for error-free gametogenesis.
