Project description:The HIRA chaperone complex, comprised of HIRA, UBN1 and CABIN1, collaborates with histone-binding protein ASF1a to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. To better understand its function and mechanism, we integrated HIRA, UBN1, ASF1a and histone H3.3 ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses. Most HIRA-binding sites co-localize with UBN1, ASF1a and H3.3 at active promoters and active and weak/poised enhancers. At promoters, binding of HIRA/UBN1/ASF1a correlates with the level of gene expression. HIRA is required for deposition of histone H3.3 at its binding sites. There are marked differences in nucleosome and co-regulator composition at different classes of HIRA-bound regulatory site. Underscoring this, we report novel physical interactions between the HIRA complex and transcription factors, a chromatin insulator and an ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling complex. Our results map the distribution of the HIRA chaperone across the chromatin landscape and point to different interacting partners at functionally distinct regulatory sites.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest that suppresses tumorigenesis. Histone chaperone HIRA deposits nucleosome-destabilizing histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. Histone H3.3 and a subset of other typically “replication-dependent” core histones were expressed in non-proliferating senescent cells, the latter linked to alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation. Senescent cells incorporated newly-synthesized histones into chromatin, partially dependent on HIRA. HIRA and newly-deposited histone H3.3 co-localized at promoters of expressed genes, and their distribution shifted between proliferating and senescent cells, paralleling changes in gene expression. In senescent cells, gene promoters showed exceptional enrichment of a histone acetylation linked to open and dynamic chromatin, H4K16ac. Abundance of H4K16ac depended on HIRA. In the mouse, inactivation of HIRA downregulated H4K16ac and dramatically enhanced oncogene-induced hyperplasia. To conclude, HIRA controls a previously undefined dynamic non-canonical H4K16ac-decorated chromatin landscape in senescence, and also plays an unanticipated role in suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia.

Project description:The incorporation of histone H3 variants has been implicated in the epigenetic memory of cellular state. Using genome editing with zinc finger nucleases to tag endogenous H3.3, we report genome-wide profiles of H3 variants in mammalian embryonic stem (ES) cells and neuronal precursor cells. Genome-wide patterns of H3.3 are dependent on amino acid sequence, and change with cellular differentiation at developmentally regulated loci. The H3.3 chaperone Hira is required for H3.3 enrichment at active and repressed genes. Strikingly, Hira is not essential for localization of H3.3 at telomeres and many transcription factor binding sites. Immunoaffinity purification and mass spectrometry reveal that the proteins Atrx and Daxx associate with H3.3 in a Hira-independent manner. Atrx is required for Hira-independent localization of H3.3 at telomeres, and for the repression of telomeric RNA. Our data demonstrate that multiple and distinct factors are responsible for H3.3 localization at specific genomic locations in mammalian cells.

Project description:Establishment of a proper chromatin landscape is central to genome function. Here, we explain H3 variant distribution by specific targeting and dynamics of deposition involving the CAF-1 and HIRA histone chaperones. Impairing replicative H3.1 incorporation via CAF-1 enables an alternative H3.3 deposition at replication sites via HIRA. Conversely, the H3.3 incorporation throughout the cell cycle via HIRA cannot be replaced by H3.1. ChIP-seq analyses reveal correlation between HIRA-dependent H3.3 accumulation and RNA pol II at transcription sites and specific regulatory elements, further supported by their biochemical association. Remarkably, the HIRA complex shows unique DNA binding properties and depleting HIRA increases DNA sensitivity to nucleases. We propose that protective gap-filling of naked DNA by HIRA leads to a broad distribution of H3.3, and HIRA association with Pol II ensures local H3.3 enrichment at specific sites.

Project description:Histone chaperones and chromatin remodelers control nucleosome dynamics, essential for transcription, replication, and DNA repair. The histone chaperone Anti-Silencing Factor 1 (ASF1) plays a central role in facilitating CAF-1-mediated replication-dependent H3.1 deposition and HIRA-mediated replication-independent H3.3 deposition in yeast and metazoans. Whether ASF1 function is evolutionarily conserved in plants is unknown. Here, we show that Arabidopsis ASF1 proteins display an exclusive preference for the H3.3-depositing HIRA complex. Simultaneous mutation of both Arabidopsis ASF1 genes caused a decrease in chromatin density and ectopic H3.1 occupancy at loci typically enriched with H3.3. Genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data indicate that ASF1 proteins strongly prefer the HIRA complex over CAF-1. asf1 mutants also displayed an increase in spurious Pol II transcriptional initiation, and showed defects in the maintenance of gene body CG DNA methylation and in the distribution of histone modifications. Furthermore, ectopic targeting of ASF1 caused excessive histone deposition, less accessible chromatin, and gene silencing. These findings reveal the importance of ASF1-mediated H3.3-H4 deposition via the HIRA pathway for proper epigenetic regulation of the genome.

Project description:Cellular metabolism and chromatin landscape both contribute to cell fate determination. However, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here we show that Prohibitin (PHB), an evolutionarily conserved protein, involves in a histone variant H3.3 chaperon HIRA complex-dependent epigenetic and metabolic circuitry to maintain the identity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We found that silencing of PHB triggers hESC differentiation with concomitant enhancements of histone 3 (H3) lysine (K) methyl modifications as a result of the reduced production of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), a metabolite required for activities of many dioxygenase and in turn chromatin structure1,2. Mechanistically, PHB acts as a functional member of the HIRA complex3,4. Resembling PHB deficiency, loss of HIRA in hESCs leads to massive differentiation and aberrant histone modifications, although it was previously found not to disrupt the self-renewal in mouse ESCs (mESCs)5. Genome-wide H3.3 ChIP- sequence analyses indicate that reduction of H3.3 deposition caused by PHB knock down is extremely similar to that induced by HIRA knock down. Specifically, silencing either HIRA or PHB leads to repressive chromatin characters at promoters of pluripotency genes and isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs), the enzyme responsible for α-KG production, but active chromatin features at promoters of developmental genes, paralleling to transcript levels of these genes. Our results identify PHB as an essential factor not only for hESC self-renewal but also for the proper function of the HIRA complex, linking the HIRA complex-dependent H3.3 deposition to the production of a critical metabolite required for shaping chromatin structure, and demonstrating the importance of the interplay between epigenetic state and metabolic regulation in cell fate determination. Examination of H3.3 deposition in NT, PHB, and HIRA siRNA treated hESCs respectively.

Project description:The mammalian HIRA/UBN1/ASF1a complex is a histone chaperone complex that is conserved from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to humans. This complex preferentially deposits the histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner and is implicated in diverse chromatin regu- latory events from gene activation to heterochromatinization. In yeast, the orthologous complex consists of three Hir proteins (Hir1p, Hir2p, and Hir3p), Hpc2p, and Asf1p. Yeast Hir3p has weak homology to CABIN1, a fourth member of the human complex, suggesting that Hir3p and CABIN1 may be orthologs. Here we show that HIRA and CABIN1 interact at ectopic and endogenous levels of expression in cells, and we isolate the quaternary HIRA/UBN1/CABIN1/ASF1a (HUCA) complex, assembled from recombinant proteins. Mutational analyses support the view that HIRA acts as a scaffold to bring together UBN1, ASF1a, and CABIN1 into a quaternary complex. We show that, like HIRA, UBN1, and ASF1a, CABIN1 is involved in heterochromatinization of the genome of senescent human cells. Moreover, in proliferating cells, HIRA and CABIN1 regulate overlapping sets of genes, and these genes are enriched in the histone variant H3.3. In sum, these data demonstrate that CABIN1 is a functional member of the human HUCA complex and so is the likely ortholog of yeast Hir3p. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after knockdown of HIRA and CABIN1 in 3 replicates HeLa cells were nucleofacted with Dharmacon control siRNA and siRNA to HIRA and CABIN1 and RNA was isolated 72 hours after transfection.

Project description:We developed a new sequencing assay to track the de novo deposition of the histone H3 variants H3.1 and H3.3 during S phase. We use cells stably expressing H3.1-SNAP or H3.3-SNAP, and synchronize them in G1/S by double-thymidine block. The SNAP-tag enables to discriminate newly synthesized histones from preexisting ones, via a quench-chase-capture strategy. We applied this strategy to isolate new H3.1 and H3.3 after releasing cells into S phase, and probed their distribution by MNase digestion and sequencing. We could thus characterize H3.1 and H3.3 dynamics from early to mid S phase at genome-wide resolution. We further applied our method to investigate the consequences of perturbations upon deletion of the H3.3 chaperone HIRA. We used HIRA knockout and control cells, and compared H3.1 and H3.3 distribution to early replication patterns by EdU labeling and sequencing of nascent DNA.
