The nucleoporin Nup170p is required for subtelomeric chromatin structure and gene silencing. [MNase-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin preferentially localizes at the nuclear periphery, but, despite this, certain budding yeast genes relocate to the nuclear periphery following gene activation, implicating the nuclear envelope in both transcriptional activation and silencing. It is unclear how these distinct chromatin domains are established, maintained and distinguished from one another at the nuclear envelope. Here we report that nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) facilitate the transition between chromatin states by providing a platform to which chromatin-remodeling and chromatin-modifying complexes bind. In particular, we show that the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex associates with NPCs and that the nucleoporin Nup170p nucleates heterochromatin formation at telomeres through recruitment of Sir4p. Deletion of NUP170 altered subtelomeric chromatin structure, reduced SIR complex binding at telomeres, impaired telomeric silencing and abated telomere tethering. These results support a model in which telomeric heterochromatin formation occurs through telomere-NPC interactions that both promote Sir4p binding at telomeres and permit chromatin-remodeling complexes to mediate the transition between chromatin states.

A role for the nucleoporin Nup170p in chromatin structure and gene silencing

Project description:Embedded in the nuclear envelope, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) not only regulate nuclear transport, but also interface with both transcriptionally active euchromatin and largely silenced heterochromatin, as well as the boundaries between these regions. It is unclear what functional role NPCs play in establishing or maintaining these distinct chromatin domains. Here we report that the yeast NPC protein Nup170p interacts with specific regions of the genome containing ribosomal protein and subtelomeric genes. At these locations, Nup170p functions to establish normal nucleosome positioning and as a repressor of transcription. We show that the function of Nup170p in subtelomeric gene silencing is linked to its association with the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex and the silencing factor Sir4p, and that the binding of Nup170p and Sir4p to subtelomeric chromatin is cooperative and necessary for the association of telomeres with the nuclear envelope. Our results establish the NPC as an active participant in the formation of peripheral heterochromatin. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Refer to individual Series

Effects of Histone H3 depletion on nucleosome occupancy and positioning through the S. cerevisiae genome [single-end MNase-seq]

Project description:Experiments performed over the past three decades have shown that nucleosomes are transcriptional repressors. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, depletion of histone H4 results in the genome-wide transcriptional de-repression of hundreds genes. The mechanism of de-repression is hypothesized to be rooted directly in chromatin changes. To test this, we reproduced classical H4 depletion experiments by conditional repression of all histone H3 transcription, which depletes the supply of nucleosomes in vivo. RNA-seq results were consistent with the earlier studies, but much more sensitive, revealing nearly 2500 de-repressed genes. Changes in chromatin organization were determined by MNase-seq. Nucleosomes that were preferentially retained occurred in regions of high DNA-encoded nucleosome affinity, and were marked with H3K36me2, which is linked to transcription elongation. Nucleosomes harboring acetyl marks or that contained the variant histone H2A.z were preferentially lost. Genes that were de-repressed lost or rearranged nucleosomes at their promoter, but not in the gene body. Therefore, a combination of DNA-encoded nucleosome stability and nucleosome composition dictates which nucleosomes will be lost under conditions of limiting histone protein. This, in turn, governs which genes will experience a loss of regulatory fidelity. MNase-seq experiments consist of three wildtype (1 single-end and 2 paired-end) and four mutant (DCB200.1/H3 shutoff; 2 single-end, 2 paired-end) replicates. Each replicate contains two timepoints reflecting chromatin immediately after ("O hours") and 3 hours after transition to media containing dextrose. RNA-seq data includes three replicates from wildtype or H3 depleted cells after 3 hours in media containing dextrose.

Nucleosome occupancy profiles in young and old mouse liver [MNase-Seq]

Project description:Aging is accompanied by physiological impairments, which, in insulin-responsive tissues, including the liver, predispose individuals to metabolic disease. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain largely unknown. Here, we analyze genome-wide profiles of RNA and chromatin organization in the liver of young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice. Transcriptional changes suggest that de-repression of the nuclear receptors PPARM-NM-1, PPARM-NM-3, and LXRM-NM-1 in aged mouse liver leads to activation of targets regulating lipid synthesis and storage, whereas age-dependent changes in nucleosome occupancy are associated with binding sites for both known regulators (forkhead factors and nuclear receptors) and for novel candidates associated with nuclear lamina (Hdac3 and Srf) implicated to govern metabolic function of aging liver. Winged-helix factor Foxa2 and nuclear receptor co-repressor Hdac3 exhibit reciprocal binding pattern at PPARM-NM-1 targets contributing to gene expression changes that lead to steatosis in aged liver.

Msn2-mediated nucleosome remodeling dynamics

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to determine, using MNAse-Seq, how nucleosomes get remodeled during an Msn2 activation timecourse genome-wide. Diploid strain EY2807/ASH79 with genotype TPK1M164G TPK2M147G TPK3M165G msn4::TRP1/LEU2 MSN2-mCherry NHP6a-iRFP::kanMX was used. This strain is PKAas, so upon addition of the inhibitor 1-NM-PP1, Msn2 translocates to the nucleus and activates gene expression. In this experiment, the diploid strain was exposed to 3 uM 1-NM-PP1 for 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 min and nucleosome positions determined using by crosslinking, MNAse treatment, nucleosomal DNA purification and paired-end high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). Results from transcriptional profiling of yeast with or without Msn2 expression were also deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-1945 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1945/ ).

Comprehensive nucleosome mapping of the human genome in cancer progression

Project description:Altered chromatin structure is a hallmark of cancer, and inappropriate regulation of chromatin structure may represent the origin of transformation. Several important studies have mapped human nucleosome distributions genome wide, but the genome-wide role of chromatin structure in cancer progression has not been addressed. We developed a MNase-Sequence Capture method, mTSS-seq, to map genome-wide nucleosome distribution in primary human lung and colon adenocarcinoma tissue. Here, we confirm that nucleosome redistribution is an early, widespread event in lung (LAC) and colon (CRC) adenocarcinoma. These altered nucleosome architectures are consistent between LAC and CRC patient samples indicating that they may serve as important early adenocarcinoma markers. We demonstrate that the nucleosome alterations are driven by the underlying DNA sequence and potentiate transcription factor binding. We conclude that DNA-directed nucleosome redistributions are widespread early in cancer progression. We have proposed an entirely new hierarchical model for chromatin-mediated genome regulation. â Nucleosome distribution mapping in primary patient tissue at all transcription start sites in the human genome Please note that two processed data files '4137N_ALLcombined.bed' and '4137T_ALLcombined.bed' (linked as Series supplementary file) are processed bed files combined from three 4137N_*_hiseq samples (total 6 raw data files) and three 4137T_*_hiseq samples (total 6 raw data files), respectively.

Role of Fft3 in nuclear organization [MNase-seq]

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, local chromatin structure and chromatin organization in the nucleus both influence transcriptional regulation. At the local level, the Fun30 chromatin remodeler Fft3 is essential for maintaining proper chromatin structure at centromeres and subtelomeres in fission yeast. Using genome-wide mapping and live cell imaging, we show that this role is linked to controlling nuclear organization of its targets. In fft3M-NM-^T cells, subtelomeres lose their association with the LEM domain protein Man1 at the nuclear periphery and move to the interior of the nucleus. Furthermore, genes in these domains are upregulated and active chromatin marks increase. Fft3 is also enriched at retrotransposon-derived long terminal repeat (LTR) elements at the borders of subtelomeres and at tRNA genes. In cells lacking Fft3, these sites lose their peripheral positioning and show reduced nucleosome occupancy. We propose that Fft3 has a global role in mediating association between specific chromatin domains and components of the nuclear envelope by maintaining chromatin structure required for anchoring DNA insulators to nuclear pores. For MNase samples, duplicate mutant mononucleosome fractions were compared with duplicate WT mononucleosomes.

Novel nucleosomal particles containing core histones and linker DNA but no histone H1

Project description:The nucleosome plays a central role in genome regulation. Traditional methods for mapping nucleosomes depend on the resistance of the nucleosome core to micrococcal nuclease (MNase). However, the lengths of the protected DNA fragments are heterogeneous, limiting the accuracy of nucleosome position information. To resolve this problem, we removed residual linker DNA by simultaneous digestion of yeast chromatin with MNase and exonuclease III (ExoIII). Paired-end sequencing of mono-nucleosomes revealed not only core particles (145-147 bp), but also intermediate particles in which ~8 bp project from one side (154 bp) or both sides (161 bp) of the nucleosome core. We term these particles "pseudo-chromatosomes" because they are present in yeast lacking linker histone. They are also observed after MNase-ExoIII digestion of chromatin reconstituted using recombinant core histones. We propose that the pseudo-chromatosome provides a DNA framework to facilitate H1 binding. Comparison of budding yeast nucleosome sequences obtained using micrococcal nuclease (MNase-seq) and MNase + exonuclease III (ExoIII) (MNase-ExoIII-seq): wild type cells and hho1-null cells. Nucleosome sequences from native chromatin and H1-depleted chromatin from mouse liver. Nucleosome sequences from a plasmid reconstituted into nucleosomes using recombinant yeast histones or native chicken erythrocyte histones.

Genome-wide maps of nucleosome positions in Saccharomyces strains bearing heterologous DNA on yeast artificial chromosomes

Project description:We identify the cis and trans determinants of nucleosome positioning using a functional evolutionary approach involving S. cerevisiae strains containing large genomic regions from other yeast species. In a foreign species, nucleosome depletion at promoters is maintained over poly(dA:dT) tracts, whereas internucleosome spacing and all other aspects of nucleosome positioning tested are not. Interestingly, the locations of the +1 nucleosome and RNA start sites shift in concert. Strikingly, in a foreign species, nucleosome-depleted regions occur fortuitously in coding regions, and they often act as promoters that are associated with a positioned nucleosome array linked to the length of the transcription unit. nucleosome mapping for 3 strains bearing yeast artificial chromosomes from Kluyveromyces lactis and 2 strains with Debaryomyces hansenii artificial chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme Fun30 represses transcription by sliding promoter proximal nucleosomes [seq]

Project description:The evolutionarily conserved ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme Fun30 has recently been shown to play important roles in heterochromatin silencing and DNA repair. However, how Fun30 remodels nucleosomes is not clear. Here we report a nucleosome sliding activity of Fun30 and its role in transcriptional repression. We observed that Fun30 repressed the expression of genes involved in amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism, the stress response, and meiosis. In addition, Fun30 was localized at the 5M-bM-^@M-2 and 3M-bM-^@M-2 ends of genes and within the open reading frames of its targets. Consistent with its role in gene repression, we observed that Fun30-target genes lacked histone modifications often associated with gene activation and showed an increased level of ubiquitinated histone H2B. Furthermore, genome-wide nucleosome mapping analysis revealed that the length of the nucleosome-free region at the 5M-bM-^@M-2 end of a subset of genes was changed in Fun30-depleted cells. In addition, the positions of the -1, +2 and +3 nucleosomes at the 5M-bM-^@M-2 end of target genes were significantly shifted, while position of the +1 nucleosome remained largely unchanged in the fun30M-NM-^T mutant. Finally, we demonstrated that affinity purified single-component Fun30 exhibited nucleosome sliding activity in an ATP-dependent manner. These results define a role for Fun30 in regulation of transcription and indicate that Fun30 remodels chromatin at the 5M-bM-^@M-2 end of genes by sliding promoter proximal nucleosomes. Micrococcal nuclease digested mononucleosome DNA from wild type and fun30D cells were sequenced by illumina Genome Analyzer. Genome-wide nucleosome positioning and occupancy were analyzed.

Interrelationships between replication infidelity and genome composition

Project description:An enduring issue in evolutionary and cancer biology is how replication infidelity influences genome composition and vice versa. Here we examine this issue by sequencing the genomes of diploid budding yeast strains that are either mismatch repair (MMR) proficient or deficient and encode wild type or mutator variants of the three major nuclear DNA replicases. Analysis of over 43,000 mutations that accumulated in the absence of selective pressure demonstrates that the nuclear DNA replication machinery generates less than one mismatch per genome and in combination with MMR, achieves a genome-wide per base error rate of 1.7 x 10-10. Absent both MMR and purifying selection, replication error patterns strongly depend on replication origin proximity, replication fork direction, and the local DNA sequence. Preferred sequences were observed for base substitutions and deletions. Error rates also vary with replication time, in linker versus nucleosome-bound DNA, in 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions, in coding regions and in intergenic DNA. This genome-wide view shows that replication fidelity is amazingly high but heterogeneous, in patterns that suggest the underlying mechanisms by which replication modulates genome stability and composition and vice versa. Six to ten isolates were sequenced for each combination of DNA polymerase (WT, pol1-L868M, pol2-M644G, pol3-L612M) and mismatch repair (proficient, deficient) genotypes. A single WT isolate was sequenced following micrococcal nuclease digestion.
