Project description:The nucleosome plays a central role in genome regulation. Traditional methods for mapping nucleosomes depend on the resistance of the nucleosome core to micrococcal nuclease (MNase). However, the lengths of the protected DNA fragments are heterogeneous, limiting the accuracy of nucleosome position information. To resolve this problem, we removed residual linker DNA by simultaneous digestion of yeast chromatin with MNase and exonuclease III (ExoIII). Paired-end sequencing of mono-nucleosomes revealed not only core particles (145-147 bp), but also intermediate particles in which ~8 bp project from one side (154 bp) or both sides (161 bp) of the nucleosome core. We term these particles "pseudo-chromatosomes" because they are present in yeast lacking linker histone. They are also observed after MNase-ExoIII digestion of chromatin reconstituted using recombinant core histones. We propose that the pseudo-chromatosome provides a DNA framework to facilitate H1 binding. Comparison of budding yeast nucleosome sequences obtained using micrococcal nuclease (MNase-seq) and MNase + exonuclease III (ExoIII) (MNase-ExoIII-seq): wild type cells and hho1-null cells. Nucleosome sequences from native chromatin and H1-depleted chromatin from mouse liver. Nucleosome sequences from a plasmid reconstituted into nucleosomes using recombinant yeast histones or native chicken erythrocyte histones.

Project description:Chromosomal RNAs (cRNAs) are a poorly understood fraction of cellular RNAs that co-purify with chromatin. Here we show that, in Drosophila, cRNAs constitute a heterogeneous group of RNA species that cover ~28% of the genome. Intriguingly, we found that cRNAs are highly enriched in heterochromatic transcripts. Our results show that heterochromatic cRNAs interact with the hnRNP A/B proteins hrp36 and hrp48 to assemble into RNP particles. We also show that depletion of linker histone dH1, a major component of chromatin, impairs assembly of hrp36 and hrp48 onto heterochromatic cRNAs. Concomitantly, impaired cRNAs assembly induces the accumulation of heterochromatic cRNAs and the formation of unscheduled RNA::DNA hybrids (R-loops). Linker histones H1 are known to regulate chromatin structure and compaction and, indeed, we show that dH1 depletion perturbs chromatin organization, reducing nucleosome occupancy and specifically increasing accessibility and 3D interactions within heterochromatin. These perturbations facilitate annealing of cRNAs to the DNA template, enhancing R-loops formation and cRNAs retention at heterochromatin. Altogether, these results unveil the unexpected contribution of linker histones to RNPs assembly and homeostasis of cRNAs.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a tumor-suppressing mechanism that is accompanied by characteristic chromatin condensation called senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHFs). We found that individual SAHFs originate from individual chromosomes. SAHFs do not show alterations of posttranslational modifications of core histones that mark condensed chromatin in mitotic chromosomes, apoptotic chromatin, or transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin. Remarkably, SAHF-positive senescent cells lose linker histone H1 and exhibit increased levels of chromatin-bound high mobility group A2 (HMGA2). The expression of N-terminally enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged histone H1 induces premature senescence phenotypes, including increased levels of phosphorylated p53, p21, and hypophosphorylated Rb, and a decrease in the chromatin-bound endogenous histone H1 level but not in p16 level accumulation or SAHF formation. However, the simultaneous ectopic expression of hemagglutinin-tagged HMGA2 and N-terminally EGFP-tagged histone H1 leads to significant SAHF formation (P < 0.001). It is known that histone H1 and HMG proteins compete for a common binding site, the linker DNA. These results suggest that SAHFs are a novel type of chromatin condensation involving alterations in linker DNA-binding proteins.
