Project description:ESA1 (essential SAS-family acetyltransferase) is the only known yeast histone acetyltransferase (HAT) required for cell viability. It is a member of the MYST (MOZ, YBF2/SAS3, SAS2, Tip60) family of HAT proteins and contains a conserved acetyltransferase domain in addition to a chromodomain. While ESA1âs HAT activity is important in processes such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair, acetylation is likely not its essential function. Our lab has shown that mutants with a single point mutation in the active site cysteine are still viable even though their acetyltransferase abilities are abolished. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays have shown ESA1 distributed evenly along the length of chromatin, not localized to specific promoters as would be expected from a HAT protein involved in transcriptional regulation. As is the case for other HAT proteins, ESA1âs acetyltransferase activity is significant, but in processes such as DNA replication, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. The aim of this project is to determine the essential function of ESA1 - the catalytic subunit of the yeast HAT complex, NuA4 (nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4) â using a bypass suppression screen to identify suppressors of ESA1. It is proposed that suppressing mutations will alter a gene involved in the process that is the essential function of ESA1. Thus, identifying a suppressor that can bypass the need for ESA1 may provide insight into its essential function. Since ESA1 is an essential gene, a haploid esa1â strain in which wild-type ESA1 is provided on a centromeric plasmid was utilized. The bypass suppression screen resulted in suppressors of ESA1 that allowed esa1â cells to be viable even in the absence of the essential gene. These second site suppressors (sup-) of ESA1 each show the Mendelian segregation pattern of the suppressing gene and ESA1 in 2:2 ratios, implying they are single genes unlinked to ESA1. Microarray and nuclear morphology studies show abnormal gene expression and morphology of the esa1ï sup- cells, further implicating the suppressing mutation in DNA repair and replication processes. Investigating ESA1âs essential role and a probable conservation of function across species can provide a deeper understanding of the capabilities of HAT complexes. Experiment Overall Design: Eight samples were analyzed. The only variables are the ESA1 and SUP2 genes. WT (ESA1 SUP2), 2 replicates. Single mutant (ESA1 sup2-), 3 replicates. Double mutant (esa1 sup2-), 3 replicates.

Project description:Nucleosomal acetyltransferase of H4 (NuA4) is an essential transcriptional coactivator in eukaryotes, but remains poorly characterized in plants. Here, we describe Arabidopsis homologs of the NuA4 scaffold proteins Enhancer of Polycomb-Like-1 (AtEPL1) and Esa1- Associated Factor 1 (AtEAF1). Loss of AtEAF1 results in inhibition of growth and chloroplast development. These effects are stronger in the Atepl1 mutant and are further enhanced by loss of Golden2-Like (GLK) transcription factors, suggesting that NuA4 activates nuclear plastid genes alongside GLK. We demonstrate that AtEPL1 is necessary for nucleosomal acetylation of histones H4 and H2A.Z by NuA4 in vitro. These chromatin marks are diminished genome-wide in Atepl1, while another active chromatin mark, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9ac), is locally enhanced. Expression of many chloroplast-related genes depends on NuA4, as they are downregulated with loss of H4ac and H2A.Zac. Finally, we demonstrate that NuA4 promotes H2A.Z deposition and by doing so prevents spurious activation of stress response genes.

Project description:Enzymes that modify and remodel chromatin are subunits in broadly conserved macromolecular complexes. One key chromatin modification is the dynamic acetylation of histones by opposing activities of acetyltransferase and deacetylase complexes. Among the acetyltransferases, the NuA4 complex containing Tip60 or its Saccharomyces cerevisiae ortholog, Esa1, is of particular significance because of its roles in crucial genomic processes including DNA damage repair and transcription. The catalytic subunit Esa1 is essential, as are five non-catalytic NuA4 subunits. We found that of these non-catalytic subunits, only deletion of Enhancer of polycomb (Epl1) can be bypassed by loss of a major deacetylase complex. This is a property shared by Esa1. Non-catalytic complex subunits are often critical for complex assembly, stability, genomic targeting, substrate specificity and regulation. Understanding the essential cellular role of Epl1 has been limited, a limitation now overcome by the discovery of its bypass suppression. Here, we present the first comprehensive in vivo study of Epl1 upon complete cellular loss of Epl1 using the powerful tool of suppression combined with transcriptional and mutational analyses. Our results highlight functional parallels between Epl1 and Esa1 and further illustrate that the structural role of Epl1 is important for promotion of Esa1 activity. This conclusion is strengthened by our dissection of Epl1 domains required in vivo for interaction with specific NuA4 subunits, histone acetylation, and chromatin targeting. These results provide new insights for the conserved, essential nature of Epl1 and its homologs among organisms, such as EPC1/2 in humans, which is frequently altered in cancers.

Project description:Histone acetylation and deacetylation are among the principal mechanisms by which chromatin is regulated during transcription, DNA silencing, and DNA repair. We analyzed patterns of genetic interactions uncovered during comprehensive genome-wide analyses in yeast to probe how histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) protein complexes interact. The genetic interaction data unveil an underappreciated role of HDACs in maintaining cellular viability, and led us to show that deacetylation of the histone variant Htz1p at lysine 14 is mediated by Hda1p. Studies of the essential nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4 (NuA4) revealed acetylation-dependent protein stabilization of Yng2p, a potential nonhistone substrate of NuA4 and Rpd3C, and led to a new functional organization model for this critical complex. We also found that DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) result in local recruitment of the NuA4 complex, followed by an elaborate NuA4 remodeling process concomitant with Rpd3p recruitment and histone deacetylation. These new characterizations of the HDA and NuA4 complexes demonstrate how systematic analyses of genetic interactions may help illuminate the mechanisms of intricate cellular processes. Keywords: genetic modification The 44 datasets in this Series profiled the genome-wide genetic interactions for query genes encoding either HAT and HDAC catalytic subunits or subunits of the associated protein complexes. Of the 32 query genes, 5 were essential and were tested as temperature-sensitive (ts) alleles at three or more temperatures. (ESA1 was also tested as a hypomorphic allele.) The other query genes were tested as null deletion alleles derived from the Yeast Knockout strain collection.

Project description:The nucleosomal acetyltransferase of H4 (NuA4) is an essential transcriptional coactivator in eukaryotes, though it remains poorly characterized in plants. Here, we describe Arabidopsis homologues of the NuA4 scaffold proteins Enhancer of Polycomb-Like1 (EPL1) and Esa1-Associated Factor1 (EAF1). Loss of AtEAF1 results in inhibition of growth and chloroplast development. These effects are stronger in the Atepl1 mutant and are further enhanced by loss of Golden2-Like (GLK) transcription factors suggesting that NuA4 activates nuclear plastidic genes alongside GLK. We demonstrate that AtEPL1 is necessary for nucleosomal acetylation of histones H4 and H2A.Z by NuA4 in vitro. These chromatin marks are diminished in Atepl1 genome-wide while another active chromatin mark H3K9ac is locally enhanced. Many chloroplast-related genes depend on NuA4 as they are downregulated with loss of H4ac and H2A.Z alone. Finally, we demonstrate that NuA4 promotes deposition of H2A.Z and by doing so prevents spurious activation of stress response genes.

Project description:Acetylation of histone tails has long been associated with gene activation. Exactly how acetylation regulates gene expression is not fully known. Acetylation events at specific sites or collections of sites on histones elicit distinct outcomes. Here we examine the downstream consequences of histone acetylation by the histone H4 acetyltransferase NuA4 on a genomic scale. Evidence is presented that Bdf1, which is known to bind to acetylated lysine H4 tails in vitro, binds to nucleosomes in vivo and that this binding is dependent upon Esa1, the catalytic subunit of NuA4. Loss of NuA4 results in a coordinate depletion of Bdf1, the transcription complex assembly factor TFIID, and the H2A.Z assembly complex SWR-C at highly acetylated promoter regions. This finding is consistent with known interactions between Bdf1 and TFIID and SWR-C. Loss of Bdf1 results in little or no depletion of TFIID or SWR-C at these promoter regions, possibly due to substitution by the Bdf1 paralog Bdf2. Consistent with this possibility, loss of Bdf1 results in accumulation of Bdf2 at sites normally bound by Bdf1. Together, the findings presented here strengthen the proposed cascade of events whereby nucleosome H4 acetylation by NuA4 at promoters target Bdf1, which then recruits TFIID and SWR-C to assemble the transcription machinery.

Project description: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.

Project description:The NuA4 lysine acetyltransferase complex acetylates histone and non-histone proteins and functions in transcription regulation, cell cycle progression, and DNA repair. NuA4 harbors an interesting duality in that its catalytic module can function independently and distinctly as picNuA4. At the molecular level, picNuA4 anchors to its bigger brother via physical interactions between the C-terminus of Epl1 and the HSA domain of Eaf1, the NuA4 central scaffolding subunit. This is reflected at the regulatory level, as picNuA4 can be liberated genetically from NuA4 by disrupting the Epl1-Eaf1 interaction. As such, removal of either Eaf1 or the Epl1 C-terminus offers a unique opportunity to elucidate the contributions of Eaf1 and Epl1 to NuA4 biology and in turn their roles in balancing picNuA4 and NuA4 activities. Using high-throughput genetic and gene expression profiling, and targeted functional assays to compare eaf1∆ and epl1-C∆ mutants, we found that EAF1 and EPL1 had both overlapping and distinct roles. Strikingly, loss of EAF1 or its HSA domain led to a significant decrease in the amount of picNuA4, while loss of the Epl1 C-terminus increased picNuA4 levels, suggesting starkly opposing effects on picNuA4 regulation. The eaf1∆ epl1-C∆ double mutants resembled the epl1-C∆ single mutants, indicating that Eaf1’s role in picNuA4 regulation depended on the Epl1 C-terminus. Key aspects of this regulation were evolutionary conserved, as truncating an Epl1 homolog in human cells increased the levels of other picNuA4 subunits. Our findings suggested a model in which distinct aspects of the Epl1-Eaf1 interaction regulated picNuA4 amount and activity.
