Project description:Changes in chromatin architecture induced by epigenetic mechanisms are essential for normal cellular processes such as gene expression, DNA repair, and cellular division. Compact chromatin presents a barrier to these processes and is highly regulated by epigenetic markers binding to components of the nucleosome. Histone modifications directly influence chromatin dynamics and facilitate recruitment of additional factors such as chromatin remodelers and histone chaperones. One member of this last class of factors, FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription), is categorized as a histone chaperone critical for nucleosome reorganization during replication, transcription, and DNA repair. Significant discoveries regarding the role of histone chaperones and specifically FACT have come over the past dozen years from a number of independent laboratories. Here, we review the structural and biophysical basis for FACT-mediated nucleosome reorganization and discuss up-to-date models for FACT function.

Project description:The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, PARP1, plays a key role in maintaining genomic integrity by detecting DNA damage and mediating repair. ?H2A.X is the primary histone marker for DNA double-strand breaks and PARP1 localizes to H2A.X-enriched chromatin damage sites, but the basis for this association is not clear. We characterize the kinetics of PARP1 binding to a variety of nucleosomes harbouring DNA double-strand breaks, which reveal that PARP1 associates faster with (?)H2A.X- versus H2A-nucleosomes, resulting in a higher affinity for the former, which is maximal for ?H2A.X-nucleosome that is also the activator eliciting the greatest poly-ADP-ribosylation catalytic efficiency. The enhanced activities with ?H2A.X-nucleosome coincide with increased accessibility of the DNA termini resulting from the H2A.X-Ser139 phosphorylation. Indeed, H2A- and (?)H2A.X-nucleosomes have distinct stability characteristics, which are rationalized by mutational analysis and (?)H2A.X-nucleosome core crystal structures. This suggests that the ?H2A.X epigenetic marker directly facilitates DNA repair by stabilizing PARP1 association and promoting catalysis.

Project description:Facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) plays essential roles in chromatin remodeling during DNA transcription, replication, and repair. Our structural and biochemical studies of human FACT-histone interactions present precise views of nucleosome reorganization, conducted by the FACT-SPT16 (suppressor of Ty 16) Mid domain and its adjacent acidic AID segment. AID accesses the H2B N-terminal basic region exposed by partial unwrapping of the nucleosomal DNA, thereby triggering the invasion of FACT into the nucleosome. The crystal structure of the Mid domain complexed with an H3-H4 tetramer exhibits two separate contact sites; the Mid domain forms a novel intermolecular β structure with H4. At the other site, the Mid-H2A steric collision on the H2A-docking surface of the H3-H4 tetramer within the nucleosome induces H2A-H2B displacement. This integrated mechanism results in disrupting the H3 αN helix, which is essential for retaining the nucleosomal DNA ends, and hence facilitates DNA stripping from histone.

Project description:Yeast Hmo1 is a high mobility group B (HMGB) protein that participates in the transcription of ribosomal protein genes and rDNA, and also stimulates the activities of some ATP-dependent remodelers. Hmo1 binds both DNA and nucleosomes and has been proposed to be a functional yeast analog of mammalian linker histones. We used EMSA and single particle Förster resonance energy transfer (spFRET) microscopy to characterize the effects of Hmo1 on nucleosomes alone and with the histone chaperone FACT. Hmo1 induced a significant increase in the distance between the DNA gyres across the nucleosomal core, and also caused the separation of linker segments. This was opposite to the effect of the linker histone H1, which enhanced the proximity of linkers. Similar to Nhp6, another HMGB factor, Hmo1, was able to support large-scale, ATP-independent, reversible unfolding of nucleosomes by FACT in the spFRET assay and partially support FACT function in vivo. However, unlike Hmo1, Nhp6 alone does not affect nucleosome structure. These results suggest physiological roles for Hmo1 that are distinct from Nhp6 and possibly from other HMGB factors and linker histones, such as H1.

Project description:Facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) is a histone chaperone, which accomplishes both nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Our combined cryo-electron microscopy (EM) and native mass spectrometry (MS) studies revealed novel key steps of nucleosome reorganization conducted by a Mid domain and its adjacent acidic AID segment of human FACT. We determined three cryo-EM structures of respective octasomes complexed with the Mid-AID and AID regions, and a hexasome alone. We discovered extensive contacts between a FACT region and histones H2A, H2B, and H3, suggesting that FACT is competent to direct functional replacement of a nucleosomal DNA end by its phosphorylated AID segment (pAID). Mutational assays revealed that the aromatic and phosphorylated residues within pAID are essential for octasome binding. The EM structure of the hexasome, generated by the addition of Mid-pAID or pAID, indicated that the dissociation of H2A-H2B dimer causes significant alteration from the canonical path of the nucleosomal DNA.

Project description:Chromatin remodelers are multifunctional protein machines that use a conserved ATPase motor to slide nucleosomes along DNA. Nucleosome sliding has been proposed to occur through two mechanisms: twist diffusion and loop/bulge propagation. A central idea for both of these models is that a DNA distortion propagates over the surface of the nucleosome. Recent data from biochemical and single-molecule experiments have expanded our understanding of histone-DNA and remodeler-nucleosome interactions, and called into question some of the basic assumptions on which these models were originally based. Advantages and challenges of several nucleosome sliding models are discussed.

Project description:Human poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP1) is a global regulator of various cellular processes, from DNA repair to gene expression. The underlying mechanism of PARP1 action during transcription remains unclear. Herein, we have studied the role of human PARP1 during transcription through nucleosomes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in vitro. PARP1 strongly facilitates transcription through mononucleosomes by Pol II and displacement of core histones in the presence of NAD+ during transcription, and its NAD+-dependent catalytic activity is essential for this process. Kinetic analysis suggests that PARP1 facilitates formation of "open" complexes containing nucleosomal DNA partially uncoiled from the octamer and allowing Pol II progression along nucleosomal DNA. Anti-cancer drug and PARP1 catalytic inhibitor olaparib strongly represses PARP1-dependent transcription. The data suggest that the negative charge on protein(s) poly(ADP)-ribosylated by PARP1 interact with positively charged DNA-binding surfaces of histones transiently exposed during transcription, facilitating transcription through chromatin and transcription-dependent histone displacement/exchange.

Project description:The nucleosome, the fundamental structural unit of chromatin, is a critical regulator of gene expression. The mechanisms governing changes to nucleosome occupancy and positioning during somatic cell reprogramming remain poorly understood. We established a method for generating genome-wide nucleosome maps of porcine embryonic fibroblasts (PEF), reconstructed 1-cell embryos generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), and fertilized zygotes (FZ) using MNase sequencing with only 1,000 cells. We found that donor PEF chromatin, especially X chromosome, became more open after transfer into porcine oocytes and nucleosome occupancy decreased in promoters but increased in the genic regions. Nucleosome arrangements around transcriptional start sites of genes with different expression levels in somatic cells tended to become transcriptionally silent in SCNT; however, some pluripotency genes adopted transcriptionally active nucleosome arrangements. FZ and SCNT had similar characteristics, unlike PEF. This study reveals the dynamics and importance of nucleosome positioning and chromatin organization early after reprogramming.

Project description:RNF168 plays a central role in the DNA damage response (DDR) by ubiquitylating histone H2A at K13 and K15. These modifications direct BRCA1-BARD1 and 53BP1 foci formation in chromatin, essential for cell-cycle-dependent DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway selection. The mechanism by which RNF168 catalyzes the targeted accumulation of H2A ubiquitin conjugates to form repair foci around DSBs remains unclear. Here, using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and functional assays, we provide a molecular description of the reaction cycle and dynamics of RNF168 as it modifies the nucleosome and recognizes its ubiquitylation products. We demonstrate an interaction of a canonical ubiquitin-binding domain within full-length RNF168, which not only engages ubiquitin but also the nucleosome surface, clarifying how such site-specific ubiquitin recognition propels a signal amplification loop. Beyond offering mechanistic insights into a key DDR protein, our study aids in understanding site specificity in both generating and interpreting chromatin ubiquitylation.

Project description:XL-MS mass spectrometry analysis Cross-linked peptides were resolved for mass spectrometry analysis using a Dionex UltiMate 3000 RSLnano liquid chromatography system. Peptides were initially loaded from the autosampler onto an Acclaim PepMap 100 C18 LC Trap Cartridge (0.3 mm inside diameter, 5 mm length) (Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA) using a loading pump flow rate of 2 ul/minute. Peptides were subsequently resolved for mass spectrometry analysis using an analytical column (75 um inside diameter, 150 mm length) packed in-house with ReproSil-Pur C18-aQ 1.9 um resin (Dr. Masch GmbH, Germany). Chromatography was performed using combinations of buffer A (95% water, 5% acetonitrile, and 0.1% formic acid (v/v/v), pH 2.6), and buffer B (20% water, 80% acetonitrile, and 0.1% formic acid (v/v/v), pH 2.6). The following chromatography steps were performed using a flow rate of 180 nl/minute: (1) 2% B for 20 minutes (column equilibration); (2) a linear gradient from 2% to 10% B over 10 minutes; (3) a linear gradient from 10% to 40% B over either 120 minutes or 240 minutes; (4) a linear gradient from 40% to 95% B over 5 minutes; (5) 95% B for 14 minutes (column wash); (6) a linear gradient from 95% B to 2% B over 1 minute; (7) 2% B for 10 minutes (column re-equilibration).
Eluted peptides were analyzed by mass spectrometry using an Orbitrap Fusio Lumo mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA). An MS3 based method was used for identification of DSSO cross-linked peptides as follows: Full MS scans were performed using the Orbitrap mass analyzer (60,000 m/z resolution, 1.6 m/z isolation window, and 375-1500 m/z scan range); The top 3 peptides identified with charge state 4 to 8 were selected for MS2 fragmentation (25% CID energy) and subsequent detection with the Orbitrap mass analyzer (30,000 m/z resolution and a dynamic exclusion time of 40 s); Pairs of MS2 fragments with a mass difference of 31.9720 (20 ppm mass tolerance) were selected for MS3 fragmentation (CID energy 35%) and detection using the Linear Ion Trap mass analyzer; Each MS2 scan was followed by a maximum of 4 MS3 scans.
Identification of DSSO Cross-Linked Peptides The m/z, charges from MS2 and corresponding m/z and intensities of fragment ion from MS3 spectra were extracted into ms2 file format using RawDistiller v. 1.0, in-house developed software with D(g, 6) settings to abstract parent ion profiles by Gaussian fitting and dynamic offline lock mass using six background polydimethylcyclosiloxane ions as internal calibrants. MS3 spectra were first searched using ProLuCID with a mass tolerance for parent ions and fragment ions set as 7 ppm and 800 ppm, respectively. Trypsin specificity was imposed on both ends of candidate peptides during the search against a protein database combining 4540 proteins including 426 common contaminants. The methionine oxidation (O; 15.9949 Da) and remnants of the crosslinker alkene (C3H2O; +54.0106 Da) and thiol (C3H2SO; +85.9826 Da) were set as variable modifications. A static modification with a mass of 57.0125Da was added to cysteine residues. A script module was added into NSAF7 to search MSn data and identify putative crosslinkers based on their unique MS fragmentation patterns with the false positive rate was not more than 1% as illustrated in. The Xcorr of the peptides for a specified cross-linker was summed as scores S and use log2(10*log2(S+1)+1) to calculate the cross-linker scores. The non-cross-linking peptide/spectrum matches were sorted and selected using DTASelect/CONTRAST (v. 1.9) with an in-house software, swallow to filter spectra, peptides, and proteins at FDRs <1%. NSAF7 was used to create the final reports on all detected cross-linkers, peptides and non-redundant proteins identified across the different runs.
