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.

H2A.W is essential for silencing of whole genome heterochromatin in Arabidopsis

Project description:Heterochromatin of flowering plants is occupied by histone variant H2A.W and marked by DNA and H3K9 methylation. The relative impact of these heterochromatic features on activity of Transposable Elements (TEs) remains largely unknown. We obtained mutants deficient for H2A.W and key components controlling each of the key heterochromatic pathway in Arabidopsis and observed that knock out of individual pathway does not affect in a major manner TEs activity. However, when we combine the loss of H2A.W with any of the other heterochromatin controller we observe synergistic effects on heterochromatin compaction as well TEs activity. H2A.W appears to control expression of all TEs while each other heterochromatin controller target distinct subsets of TEs. We also observe an impact of linker histone H1. We propose that H2A.W acts together with several components of heterochromatin to prevents activity of distinct sets of TEs activity and chromatin architecture. Synergistic action with H2A.W is more prominent specifically in pathways controlled by the plant specific DNA chromomethyltransferases, CMT2 and CMT3.

The Histone Variant H2A.W Defines Heterochromatin and Promotes Chromatin Condensation in Arabidopsis

Project description:Histone variants play crucial roles in gene expression, genome integrity and chromosome segregation. However, to what extent histone variants control chromatin architecture remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the previously uncharacterized histone variant H2A.W plays a crucial role in condensation of heterochromatin. Genome-wide profiling of all four types of H2A variants in Arabidopsis shows that H2A.W specifically associates with heterochromatin. H2A.W recruitment is independent of heterochromatic marks H3K9me2 and DNA methylation. Genetic interactions show that H2A.W acts in synergy with CMT3 mediated methylation to maintain genome integrity. In vitro, H2A.W enhances chromatin condensation through a higher propensity to make fiber-to-fiber interactions via its conserved C-terminal motif. In vivo, elimination of H2A.W causes decondensation of heterochromatin and conversely, ectopic expression of H2A.W promotes heterochromatin condensation. These results demonstrate that H2A.W plays critical roles in heterochromatin by promoting higher order chromatin condensation. Since similar H2A.W C-terminal motifs are present in other variant found in mammals and other organisms our findings impact our understanding of heterochromatin condensation in a wide variety of eukaryotic organisms. Two mRNA-seq samples, two bisulfite-seq samples, six ChIP-seq samples.

Linker histone H1 regulates homeostasis of heterochromatin associated cRNAs [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Chromosomal RNAs (cRNAs) are a poorly understood fraction of cellular RNAs that co-purify with chromatin. Here we show that, in Drosophila, cRNAs constitute a heterogeneous group of RNA species that cover ~28% of the genome. Intriguingly, we found that cRNAs are highly enriched in heterochromatic transcripts. Our results show that heterochromatic cRNAs interact with the hnRNP A/B proteins hrp36 and hrp48 to assemble into RNP particles. We also show that depletion of linker histone dH1, a major component of chromatin, impairs assembly of hrp36 and hrp48 onto heterochromatic cRNAs. Concomitantly, impaired cRNAs assembly induces the accumulation of heterochromatic cRNAs and the formation of unscheduled RNA::DNA hybrids (R-loops). Linker histones H1 are known to regulate chromatin structure and compaction and, indeed, we show that dH1 depletion perturbs chromatin organization, reducing nucleosome occupancy and specifically increasing accessibility and 3D interactions within heterochromatin. These perturbations facilitate annealing of cRNAs to the DNA template, enhancing R-loops formation and cRNAs retention at heterochromatin. Altogether, these results unveil the unexpected contribution of linker histones to RNPs assembly and homeostasis of cRNAs.
