Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation with massively parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) was then performed to establish the H3K4me3 landscape in neonatal and adult CD14+ monocytes. As development progressed from neonate to adult, monocytes gained the activating mark H3K4me3. The decreased H3K4me3 abundance at immunologically important neonatal monocyte gene promoters correlated with reduced gene expression, providing evidence that neonatal immune cells exist in an epigenetic state that is distinctly different from adults, and that this state contributes to neonatal specific immune responses.
Project description:High-order rice chromatin contains numerous interactions among DNA, RNA and protein to regulate critical biological processes in various aspects of rice life. We developed an effective method for mapping histone-mediated chromatin associated RNA-DNA interactions, followed by paired-end-tag sequencing (ChRD-PET) in rice. With H3K4me3 ChRD-PET, H3 ChRD-PET and RNase H treated H3K4me3 ChRD-PET, we present a highly comprehensive map of RNA and chromatin interactions around promoters in rice MH63. Through integrating ChIA-PET (published data), ChRD-PET and ssDRIP-seq data analysis, we demonstrated the function of RNAs-chromatin interactions in different level. We also conducted ATAC-seq and integrative analysis uncovered the relationship of epigenetic modifications and ChRD-PET interactions. Our findings firstly revealed the map and features of RNAs-chromatin interactions in rice.

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is associated with transcriptional start sites and proposed to regulate transcription initiation. However, redundant functions of the H3K4 SET1/COMPASS methyltransferase complexes complicate elucidation of the specific role of H3K4me3 in transcriptional regulation. Here, by using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) as a model system, we show that acute ablation of shared subunits of the SET1/COMPASS complexes leads to complete loss of all H3K4 methylation. H3K4me3 turnover occurs more rapidly than H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 and is dependent on KDM5 demethylases. Surprisingly, acute loss of H3K4me3 does not have detectable effects on transcriptional initiation but leads to a widespread decrease in transcriptional output, an increase in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pausing and slower elongation. Notably, we show that H3K4me3 is required for the recruitment of the Integrator Complex Subunit 11 (INTS11), which is essential for the eviction of paused RNAPII and transcriptional elongation. Thus, our study demonstrates a distinct role for H3K4me3 in transcriptional pause-release and elongation rather than transcriptional initiation.
Project description:We report global distribution of trimethylated Histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3) in human prefrontal cortex neurons at different ages Neuronal nuclei from human prefrontal cortex were isolated by FACS. Regions marked by H3K4me3 were identified by chromatin immunoprecipiation followed by deep sequencing.
