Project description:H2A.Z mono-ubiquitylation has been linked to transcriptional repression, but the mechanisms involved are not well understood. To address this, we developed a biotinylation-based approach to purify ubiquitylated H2A.Z (H2A.Zub) mononucleosomes for biochemical and genomics analyses. We observe that H2A.Zub nucleosomes are enriched for the repressive histone post-translational modification H3K27me3, but depleted of H3K4 methylation and other modifications associated with active transcription. ChIP-Seq analyses reveal that H2A.Zub-nucleosomes are enriched over non-expressed genes, and suggest that it is the relative ratio of ubiquitylated to non-ubiquitylated H2A.Z, rather than absolute presence or absence of H2A.Z ubiquitylation, that correlates with gene silencing. Finally, we observe that H2A.Zub-eniched mononucleosomes preferentially co-purify with transcriptional silencing factors as well as proteins involved in higher order chromatin organization such as CTCF and cohesin. Collectively, these results suggest an important role for H2A.Z ubiquitylation in mediating transcriptional regulation through its recruitment of transcriptional silencing factors and nuclear architectural proteins.

Project description:Nucleosomes are barriers to transcription in vitro, however, their effects on RNA polymerase in vivo are unknown. Here we describe a simple and general strategy to comprehensively map the positions of elongating and arrested RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) at nucleotide resolution. Our results suggest that nucleosomes present significant, context-specific barriers to RNAPII in vivo that can be tuned by the incorporation of H2A.Z. 8 sets of two replicates each of paired-end and 3 sets of two replicates each of single-end samples were sequenced and analyzed.

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:The chromatin remodelers (CRs) SWI/SNF and RSC function in evicting promoter nucleosomes at highly expressed yeast genes, particularly those activated by transcription factor Gcn4. Ino80 remodeling complex (Ino80C) can establish nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) in reconstituted chromatin, and was implicated in removing histone variant H2A.Z from the -1 and +1 nucleosomes flanking NDRs; however, Ino80C’s function in transcriptional activation in vivo is not well understood. Analyzing the cohort of Gcn4-induced genes in ino80Δ mutants has uncovered a role for Ino80C on par with SWI/SNF in evicting promoter nucleosomes and transcriptional activation. Compared to SWI/SNF, Ino80C generally functions over a wider region, spanning the -1 and +1 nucleosomes, NDR, and proximal genic nucleosomes, at genes highly dependent on its function. Defects in nucleosome eviction in ino80Δ cells are frequently accompanied by reduced promoter occupancies of TBP, and diminished transcription; and Ino80 is enriched at genes requiring its remodeler activity. Importantly, nuclear depletion of Ino80 impairs promoter nucleosome eviction even in a mutant lacking H2A.Z. Thus, Ino80C acts widely in the yeast genome together with RSC and SWI/SNF in evicting promoter nucleosomes and enhancing transcription, all in a manner at least partly independent of H2A.Z editing.

Project description:H2A.Z-nucleosomes participate in both euchromatic and heterochromatic scenarios and it has proven difficult to reveal correlation of the disparate roles with the stability features imparted by H2A.Z on the nucleosomes. Using a robust in situ assay of nucleosome stability and cell lines expressing only engineered forms of the variant we show that a major fraction of H2A.Z is released from the nucleosomes of peripheral heterochromatin at unusually high salt concentration, an observation reproduced with reconstituted nucleosomes. In cells expressing H2A.Z lacking its C-terminal tail, or upon addition of the tail peptide to control nuclei, canonical stability features are restored, the peripheral heterochromatin becomes dispersed and an increase of nuclease sensitivity, mainly at lamina-associated domains, ensues. Binding of the peptide to nucleosomes was detected by fluorescence correlation spectrometry. The peptide, when introduced into live cells, also induces reorganization of chromatin and decreases MYC expression, offering means for targeted epigenetic modulation.

Project description:In eukaryotes, DNA wraps around histones to form nucleosomes, which are compacted into chromatin. DNA-templated processes, including transcription, require chromatin disassembly and reassembly mediated by histone chaperones. Additionally, distinct histone variants can replace core histones to regulate chromatin structure and function. Although replacement of H2A with the evolutionarily conserved H2A.Z via the SWR1 histone chaperone complex has been extensively studied, in plants little is known about how a reduction of H2A.Z levels can be achieved. Here, we show that NRP proteins cause a decrease of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes in Arabidopsis under standard growing conditions. nrp1-1 nrp2-2 double mutants show an over-accumulation of H2A.Z genome-wide, especially at heterochromatic regions normally H2A.Z-depleted in wild-type plants. Our work suggests that NRP proteins regulate gene expression by counteracting SWR1, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of H2A.Z.

Project description:Background: Repair of DNA damage requires chromatin remodeling to permit removal of the lesions. How nucleosomes are remodelled to initiate repair of DNA damage remains largely unknown. Here, we describe how chromatin is altered during repair of UV-induced DNA damage at the level of the linear organisation of nucleosomes. Results: Using MNase-seq, we identified a subset of nucleosomes in the genome that are remodelled in UV-damaged wild-type yeast cells. We mapped the genomic location of these nucleosomes, showing that they contain the histone variant H2A.Z. The remodelling observed is consistent with histone exchange or eviction at these positions. This depends on the yeast SWI/SNF global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) chromatin-remodelling complex. Remarkably, we found that in the absence of DNA damage, the GG-NER complex occupies chromatin at nucleosome free regions separating adjacent nucleosomes. This establishes the nucleosome structure at these genomic locations, which we refer to as GG-NER complex binding sites (GCBS’s). We observed that these sites are frequently located precisely at certain boundary regions that delineate chromasomally interacting domains (CIDs). These boundaries define chromosomal domains of higher-order nucleosome-nucleosome interaction. We demonstrate that the GG-NER complex redistributes following remodelling of these nucleosomes after DNA damage taking up genomic positions located within the CIDs. This permits the efficient removal of DNA damage at these sites. Conclusions: We argue that organising DNA repair in the genome as described may define origins of DNA repair that greatly reduces the genomic search space for DNA damage recognition, thus ensuring the efficient repair of damage in chromatin.

Project description:The incorporation of histone variant H2A.Z, a conserved H2A variant, into nucleosomes creates specialized chromatin domains that regulate DNA-templated processes, including transcription. H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes may poise gene regulatory regions for transcription, but mechanistic details are lacking. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the diverging H2A.Z C-terminus is thought to provide the H2A.Z exclusive functions. To elucidate the roles of this H2A.Z C-terminus genome wide, we made use of derivatives where the C-terminus was replaced with the corresponding region of H2A (ZA protein), or the H2A region plus a transcriptional activating peptide, with the idea of regenerating the H2A.Z-dependent regulation globally. An assessment of the genome-wide distribution of these H2A.Z derivatives shows that the H2A.Z C-terminal region is crucial for both maintaining the occupation level of H2A.Z and the proper positioning of the targeted nucleosomes. Interestingly, the specific contribution on incorporation efficiency vs nucleosome positioning varies enormously, depending on loci analyzed. For the ZA protein, positioning changes most importantly near origins of replication and snoRNA gene promoters, while incorporation is affected on all other sites. Furthermore, the role of H2A.Z in global transcription regulation also depends on its C-terminal region. Remarkably however, the latter mostly involves genes without a H2A.Z nucleosome in the promoter.
