Acetylation of histone H4 at lysine 44 facilitates meiotic recombination by creating accessible chromatin [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Meiotic recombination hotspots are associated with histone post-translational modifications and open chromatin. However, it remains unclear how histone modifications and chromatin structure directly regulate meiotic recombination. Here, we identify acetylation of histone H4 at Lys44 (H4K44ac) as a new histone modification, occurring on the nucleosomal lateral surface. We show that H4K44ac is specific to yeast sporulation, rising during yeast meiosis and displaying genome-wide enrichment at recombination hotspots in meiosis. The H4K44 residue is required for normal meiotic recombination, for normal levels of double strand breaks during meiosis, and for optimal sporulation. Non-modifiable substitution H4K44R results in reduced MNase digestion and decreased binding of recombination-associated proteins at hotspots. Our results show that H4K44ac creates an accessible chromatin environment for key proteins to facilitate meiotic recombination. One sample, H4K44ac chIP from 4hrs sporulation yeast and one background H4 chIP from the same, two replicates each Two replicates each of H3K4me3 and H3K56ac chIP-seq in WT and H4K44->R mutant yeast, with two replicates of H3 chIP-seq in each genetic background Two replicates each of Rad51 chIP-seq in WT and H4K44->R mutant yeast with a single replicate of accompanying input DNA in each genetic background

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and therapy-induced senescence (TIS), while tumor-suppressive, also promote procarcinogenic effects by activating the DNA damage response (DDR), which in turn induces inflammation. This inflammatory response prominently includes an array of cytokines known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Previous observations link the transcription-associated methyltransferase and oncoprotein MLL1 to the DDR, leading us to investigate the role of MLL1 in SASP expression. Our findings reveal direct MLL1 epigenetic control over proproliferative cell cycle genes: MLL1 inhibition represses expression of proproliferative cell cycle regulators required for DNA replication and DDR activation, thus disabling SASP expression. Strikingly, however, these effects of MLL1 inhibition on SASP gene expression do not impair OIS and, furthermore, abolish the ability of the SASP to enhance cancer cell proliferation. More broadly, MLL1 inhibition also reduces Ã¢Â?Â?SASP-likeÃ¢Â?Â? inflammatory gene expression from cancer cells in vitro and in vivo independently of senescence. Taken together, these data demonstrate that MLL1 inhibition may be a powerful and effective strategy for inducing cancerous growth arrest through the direct epigenetic regulation of proliferation-promoting genes and the avoidance of deleterious OIS- or TIS-related tumor secretomes, which can promote both drug resistance and tumor progression. This study examines the genome-wide distribution of gH2A.x and H3K4me3 by chIP-seq, using input and whole histone subunit H3 (respectively) as controls for local sonication efficiency bias. Each of the four chIPs has a single replicate each in (i) IMR90 fibroblasts transfected with a scramble control vector, (ii) the same cells subject to oncogene-induced senescence by stimulation of H-Ras V12, and (iii) in OIS cells with a shRNA targeting MLL1. Additionally, gH2A.x and input were sequenced with another replicate in control and OIS cells (both scramble control).
