Transcription profiling by array of human CD4 positive cells after activation with antiCD3/28 beads

ABSTRACT: The positioning of nucleosomes with respect to DNA plays an important role in regulating transcription. However, nucleosome mapping has been performed for only limited genomic regions in humans. We have generated genome-wide maps of nucleosome positions in both resting and activated human CD4+ T cells by direct sequencing of nucleosome ends using the Solexa high-throughput sequencing technique. Corresponding ChIP-Seq data are available in NCBI's Short Read Archive at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/TraceDB/ShortRead/SRA000234/; We find that nucleosome phasing relative to the transcription start sites (TSSs) is directly correlated to RNA polymerase II binding. Furthermore, the first nucleosome downstream of TSSs exhibits differential positioning in active and silent genes. TCR signaling induces extensive nucleosome reorganization in promoters and enhancers to allow transcriptional activation or repression. Our results suggest that H2A.Z-containing and modified nucleosomes are preferentially lost from the -1 nucleosome position. Our data provide a comprehensive view of the nucleosome landscape and its dynamic regulation in the human genome. This microarray dataset is the gene expression data from resting and activated CD4+ T cells. We used this data to look at nucleosome positioning, Pol II and a few chromatin modifications at genes that are silent and activated in both resting and activated T cells as well as genes that are induced or repressed with T cell activation. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression data from resting (M0 and T0) and activated (M18 and T18) T cells.

Project description:Nucleosome positioning dictates the DNA accessibility for regulatory proteins, and thus is critical for gene expression and regulation. It has been well documented that only a subset of nucleosomes are reproducibly positioned (phased) in eukaryotic genomes. The most prominent example of phased nucleosomes is the context of genes, where phased nucleosomes flank the transcriptional starts sites (TSSs). It is unclear, however, what factors influence nucleosome phasing in regions that are not close to genes. We performed a combinational mapping of nucleosome positioning and DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) across the rice genome. We discovered that DHSs located in a variety of contexts, both genic and intergenic, were flanked by strongly phased nucleosome arrays. Our results support the barrier model for nucleosome organization as a general feature of eukaryote genomes, including plant genomes, and not limited to TSSs. Specifically, regions bound with regulatory proteins, including intergenic regions, can serve as barriers that organize phased nucleosome arrays on both sides. Our results also suggest that rice DHSs often span a single, phased nucleosome, similar to the H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes observed in DHSs in the human genome. We propose that genome-wide nucleosome positioning in the eukaryotic genomes is orchestrated by genomic regions associated with regulatory proteins. Rice chromatin was digested by micrococcal nuclease (MNase) into mono-nucleosome size. Mono-nucleosomal DNA was isolated and sequenced (MNase-seq) using Illumina sequencing platforms. We obtained a total of 38 million (M) single-end reads from our first MNase-seq experiment and mapped ~26 M to unique positions in the rice genome. We also conducted pair-end sequencing of an independent MNase-seq library, obtained 274 M paired-end reads, and mapped ~231 M read pairs to unique positions in the rice genome.We applied a strategy of combinational mapping of nucleosome positioning and DHSs (GSE26610) to examine whether nucleosome positioning is associated with all cis-regulatory elements in the rice genome. All datasets used in the analysis were developed using rice leaf tissue in the same developmental stage

Project description:Maintenance of the correct level and organization of nucleosomes is crucial for genome function. Here we uncover a role for a conserved bromodomain AAA-ATPase, Abo1, in maintenance of nucleosome architecture in fission yeast. Cells lacking abo1+ experience both a reduction and mis-positioning of nucleosomes at transcribed sequences in addition to increased intragenic transcription, phenotypes that are hallmarks of defective chromatin re-establishment behind RNA polymerase II. Abo1 is recruited to gene sequences and associates with histone H3 and the histone chaperone FACT. Furthermore, the distribution of Abo1 on chromatin is disturbed by impaired FACT function. The role of Abo1 extends to some promoters and also to silent heterochromatin. Abo1 is recruited to pericentromeric heterochromatin independently of the HP1 ortholog, Swi6, where it enforces proper nucleosome occupancy. Consequently, loss of Abo1 alleviates silencing and causes elevated chromosome mis-segregation. We suggest that Abo1 provides a histone chaperone function that maintains nucleosome architecture genome-wide. A chromatin-seq/MNase-seq approach called Chromatin Particle Spectrum Analysis (Kent et al., (2011) Nucleic Acids Res. 39:e26) was used to map and compare nucleosome position in wild-type (strain 972) and isogenic abo1 knock-out (strain HM463) fission yeast cells. For each strain, three independent in vivo MNase digest bio-reps were performed and the purified DNA pooled. CPSA was performed using paired-end mode Illumina technology with pooled samples multiplexed over two HiSeq2000 lanes. Each CPSA paired read describes a microcococcal nuclease (MNase) resistant DNA species from chromatin, with the insert-size equivalent to the size of DNA protection. For each strain type, two analysed data sets are provided here: one listing the genomic distribution of MNase-protected DNAs of 150bp (â150bp CPSA size classâ) and corresponding to mono-nucleosomes; the other listing the genomic distribution of MNase-protected DNAs of 300bp (â300bp CPSA size classâ) and corresponding to di-nucleosomes.
