Chromatin structure of erythroid-specific genes of immature and mature chicken erythrocytes.

ABSTRACT: The beta-globin and histone H5 genes are transcriptionally active in immature chicken erythrocytes and potentially active in mature erythrocytes. In both immature and mature erythrocytes, the majority of these erythroid-specific gene sequences are located in two chromatin fractions: the low-salt-insoluble residual nuclear material and the 0.15 M-NaCl-soluble oligo- and poly-nucleosomes. These salt-soluble chromatin fragments are enriched in hyperacetylated species of H4 and H2B, ubiquitinated and polyubiquitinated species of H2A and H2B and are depleted of linker histones H1 and H5. The competent, transcriptionally inactive embryonic epsilon-globin gene, which is part of the DNAase I-sensitive beta-globin domain, is highly enriched in the 0.15 M-NaCl-soluble polynucleosome fraction but not in the insoluble nuclear material. The repressed vitellogenin gene shows no enrichment in either of these fractions. These results suggest that only those genes that are expressed or have the potential for expression are enriched in the low-salt-insoluble nuclear material of immature or mature erythrocytes. The enrichment of active genes in the low-salt-insoluble residual nuclear material of immature erythrocytes is not dependent on on-going transcription, the presence of RNA or changes in the amount of acetylated histone species. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that active and potentially active genes are insoluble because of the presence of preinitiation transcription complexes.

Atypical chromatin structure of immune-related genes expressed in chicken erythrocytes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transcriptional regulation is impacted by multiple layers of genome organization. Here, we report that immune genes were associated with H3K4me3 and H3K27ac. In conjunction with next-generation DNA, RNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation-DNA sequencing and FAIRE sequencing, we identified the active chromosomal compartments and determined their structural signatures in relation to expression levels.

Histone acetylation in chicken erythrocytes. Rates of deacetylation in immature and mature red blood cells.

Project description:We analysed the rates of histone deacetylation in chicken mature and immature red blood cells. A multiplicity of deacetylation rates was observed for the histones and these rates may be subdivided into two major categories based on the extent of histone acetylation. In one set of experiments, cells were labelled with [3H]acetate in the presence of the deacetylase inhibitor n-butyrate, thereby accumulating radiolabel in the hyperacetylated forms of the histone. These hyperacetylated forms are deacetylated rapidly. [3H]Acetate-labelled tetra-acetylated H4 (H4Ac4) in mature cells was deacetylated with an initial half-life (t1/2) of approximately 5 min (time required for the removal of one-half of the labelled acetyl groups). In immature cells, all [3H]acetate-labelled H4Ac4 was deacetylated with a t1/2 of approximately 5 min. Erythrocytes were also labelled with [3H]acetate for extended periods in the absence of the deacetylase inhibitor. During this period, radiolabel accumulated predominantly in the mono- and di-acetylated forms of the histone. Using this protocol, the rate of deacetylation of H4Ac1 was observed to be approximately 145 min for mature cells, and approximately 90 min for immature cells, demonstrating that the less extensively acetylated histone is deacetylated slowly. These results are discussed in the context of the rates of histone acetylation in chicken red blood cells described in the companion paper [Zhang & Nelson (1988) Biochem. J. 250, 233-240].

Structure and architecture of immature and mature murine leukemia virus capsids.

Project description:Retroviruses assemble and bud from infected cells in an immature form and require proteolytic maturation for infectivity. The CA (capsid) domains of the Gag polyproteins assemble a protein lattice as a truncated sphere in the immature virion. Proteolytic cleavage of Gag induces dramatic structural rearrangements; a subset of cleaved CA subsequently assembles into the mature core, whose architecture varies among retroviruses. Murine leukemia virus (MLV) is the prototypical ?-retrovirus and serves as the basis of retroviral vectors, but the structure of the MLV CA layer is unknown. Here we have combined X-ray crystallography with cryoelectron tomography to determine the structures of immature and mature MLV CA layers within authentic viral particles. This reveals the structural changes associated with maturation, and, by comparison with HIV-1, uncovers conserved and variable features. In contrast to HIV-1, most MLV CA is used for assembly of the mature core, which adopts variable, multilayered morphologies and does not form a closed structure. Unlike in HIV-1, there is similarity between protein-protein interfaces in the immature MLV CA layer and those in the mature CA layer, and structural maturation of MLV could be achieved through domain rotations that largely maintain hexameric interactions. Nevertheless, the dramatic architectural change on maturation indicates that extensive disassembly and reassembly are required for mature core growth. The core morphology suggests that wrapping of the genome in CA sheets may be sufficient to protect the MLV ribonucleoprotein during cell entry.

Spatial configuration of the chicken alpha-globin gene domain: immature and active chromatin hubs.

Project description:The spatial configuration of the chicken alpha-globin gene domain in erythroid and lymphoid cells was studied by using the Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) approach. Real-time PCR with TaqMan probes was employed to estimate the frequencies of cross-linking of different restriction fragments within the domain. In differentiated cultured erythroblasts and in 10-day chick embryo erythrocytes expressing 'adult' alpha(A) and alpha(D) globin genes the following elements of the domain were found to form an 'active' chromatin hub: upstream Major Regulatory Element (MRE), -9 kb upstream DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS), -4 kb upstream CpG island, alpha(D) gene promoter and the downstream enhancer. The alpha(A) gene promoter was not present in the 'active' chromatin hub although the level of alpha(A) gene transcription exceeded that of the alpha(D) gene. Formation of the 'active' chromatin hub was preceded by the assembly of multiple incomplete hubs containing MRE in combination with either -9 kb DHS or other regulatory elements of the domain. These incomplete chromatin hubs were present in proliferating cultured erythroblasts which did not express globin genes. In lymphoid cells only the interaction between the alpha(D) promoter and the CpG island was detected.

Transcriptome of mature erythrocytes

Project description:Purpose: This study identifies the top transcripts expressed in mature erythrocytes and the top transcripts expressed in the polysome fractions of mature erythrocyte lysate Methods: RNA from total erythrocyte lysate and polysome fractions was isolated and purified using GeneJet RNA purification column (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The RNA library was prepared using NEBNext ULTRA II RNA library preparation kit for Illumina. The libraries were sequenced using Illumina Seq. Results: The transcriptome analysis revealed the abundance of mRNAs encoding globins genes, long non-coding RNAs, and micro RNAs. Deciphering the role and functions of these non-coding RNAs in these specialised cells could enable us to understand their biology in greater detail
