Fine chromatin-driven mechanism of transcription interference by antisense noncoding transcription

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genomes are almost entirely scanned by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Consequently, the transcription of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) often overlaps with coding gene promoters triggering potential gene repression through a poorly characterized mechanism of transcription interference. In this study, we propose a global model of chromatin-based transcription interference in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae). By using a noncoding transcription inducible strain, we analyzed the relationship between antisense elongation and coding sense repression, nucleosome occupancy and transcription-associated histone modifications using near-base pair resolution techniques. We show that antisense noncoding transcription leads to -1/+1 nucleosome deacetylation via H3K36 trimethylation (H3K36me3). This results in the loss of -1/+1 nucleosome interaction with the RSC chromatin remodeler and subsequent sliding into the Nucleosome-Depleted Region (NDR) hindering Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) binding. Finally, we extend our model by showing that natural antisense noncoding transcription significantly regulates around 20% of S. cerevisiae genes through this chromatin-based transcription interference mechanism.

Antisense-mediated repression of SAGA-dependent genes involves the HIR histone chaperone

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), and transcription of long non-coding RNAs often overlaps with coding gene promoters. This might lead to coding gene repression in a process named Transcription Interference (TI). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), TI is mainly driven by antisense non-coding transcription and occurs through re-shaping of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). In this study, we developed a genetic screen to identify new players involved in Antisense-Mediated Transcription Interference (AMTI). Among the candidates, we found the HIR histone chaperone complex known to be involved in de novo histone deposition. Using genome-wide approaches, we reveal that HIR-dependent histone deposition represses the promoters of SAGA-dependent genes via antisense non-coding transcription. However, while antisense transcription is enriched at promoters of SAGA-dependent genes, this feature is not sufficient to define the mode of gene regulation. We further show that the balance between HIR-dependent nucleosome incorporation and transcription factor binding at promoters directs transcription into a SAGA- or TFIID-dependent regulation. This study sheds light on a new connection between antisense non-coding transcription and the nature of coding transcription initiation.

Refined mechanism of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions resetting after replication

Project description:Replication disrupts chromatin organization. Thus, rapid resetting of nucleosome positioning is essential to maintain faithful gene expression. The initial step of this reconfiguration occurs at Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). While studies have elucidated the role of Transcription Factors (TFs) and Chromatin Remodelers (CRs) in vitro or in maintaining NDRs in vivo, none has addressed their in vivo function shortly after replication. Through purification of nascent chromatin coupled with yeast genetics, we dissected the choreography of events governing the proper positioning of the -1/+1 nucleosomes flanking promoter NDRs. Our findings reveal that CRs are the primary contributors of -1/+1 repositioning post-replication, with RSC acting upstream of INO80. Surprisingly, while Reb1 and Abf1 TFs are not essential for NDR resetting, they are required for NDR maintenance via the promotion of H3 acetylations. Taken together, we propose a two-step model for NDR resetting in S. cerevisiae: first, CRs alone reset promoter NDRs after replication, while a combination of TFs and CRs is required for subsequent maintenance.

Antisense transcriptional interference mediates tight gene repression in budding yeast

Project description:Pervasive transcription generates mainly unstable non-coding transcripts. Although a few examples of pervasive antisense have been shown to mediate gene regulation by transcriptional interference, whether pervasive transcription has a general functional role or merely represents transcriptional noise remains to be determined. In a mutant context that revealed pervasive transcripts, we characterized more than 800 antisenses genome wide and analysed the corresponding sense mRNA behaviour. We observed that antisense non-coding transcription is commonly found associated with genes tightly repressed during the exponential phase with an opposite level of mRNA and the associated antisense. This suggested that antisense transcription might participate to a tight repression of genes during the exponential phase. We thus specifically interrupted the antisense transcription of a subset of genes, and found that it resulted in a de-repression of the corresponding mRNAs. We further validated that this repression acts in cis through a transcriptional interference mechanism, which involves several chromatin modification factors. Transcription interference is observed for the first time as a general mean of gene regulation between cellular states.

The histone variant H2A.Z in yeast is almost exclusively incorporated into the +1 nucleosome in the direction of transcription

Project description:To investigate the incorporation dynamics of histone variant H2A.Z, we determined its genomic localization at single nucleosome resolution, as well as the localization of its chromatin remodelers Swr1 and Ino80. We find that Swr1 binding alone is a poor predictor of H2A.Z occupancy levels, and that normal Swr1 and Ino80 localization are actually dependent on H2A.Z. Additionally, we find that H2A.Z’s bimodal incorporation on either side of the NDR is not a general feature of TSS, but is specifically a marker for bidirectional transcription, such that the upstream flanking -1 H2A.Z-containing nucleosome is more appropriately considered as a +1 H2A.Z nucleosome for antisense transcription.

Suppression of pervasive noncoding transcription in embryonic stem cells by esBAF

Project description:Approximately 75% of the human genome is transcribed, the majority of which does not encode protein. However, most noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is rapidly degraded after transcription, and relatively few have established functions, questioning the significance of this observation. Here we show that esBAF, a SWI/SNF family nucleosome remodeling factor, suppresses transcription of ncRNAs from approximately 57,000 nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) throughout the genome of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We show that esBAF functions both to keep NDRs nucleosome-free and to promote elevated nucleosome occupancy adjacent to NDRs. Reduction of adjacent nucleosome occupancy upon esBAF depletion is strongly correlated with ncRNA expression, suggesting that flanking nucleosomes form a barrier to pervasive transcription. Upon forcing nucleosome occupancy near an NDR using a nucleosome-positioning sequence, we find that esBAF is no longer required to silence transcription. These data reveal a novel role for esBAF in suppressing pervasive transcription from open chromatin regions in ESCs.

The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme Fun30 represses transcription by sliding promoter proximal nucleosomes [array]

Project description:The evolutionarily conserved ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme Fun30 has recently been shown to play important roles in heterochromatin silencing and DNA repair. However, how Fun30 remodels nucleosomes is not clear. Here we report a nucleosome sliding activity of Fun30 and its role in transcriptional repression. We observed that Fun30 repressed the expression of genes involved in amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism, the stress response, and meiosis. In addition, Fun30 was localized at the 5′ and 3′ ends of genes and within the open reading frames of its targets. Consistent with its role in gene repression, we observed that Fun30-target genes lacked histone modifications often associated with gene activation and showed an increased level of ubiquitinated histone H2B. Furthermore, genome-wide nucleosome mapping analysis revealed that the length of the nucleosome-free region at the 5′ end of a subset of genes was changed in Fun30-depleted cells. In addition, the positions of the -1, +2 and +3 nucleosomes at the 5′ end of target genes were significantly shifted, while position of the +1 nucleosome remained largely unchanged in the fun30Δ mutant. Finally, we demonstrated that affinity purified single-component Fun30 exhibited nucleosome sliding activity in an ATP-dependent manner. These results define a role for Fun30 in regulation of transcription and indicate that Fun30 remodels chromatin at the 5′ end of genes by sliding promoter proximal nucleosomes.

We observed that Fun30 repressed the expression of genes involved in amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism, the stress response, and meiosis.

Finally, we demonstrated that affinity purified single-component Fun30 exhibited nucleosome sliding activity in an ATP-dependent manner. These results define a role for Fun30 in regulation of transcription and indicate that Fun30 remodels chromatin at the 5M-bM-^@M-2 end of genes by sliding promoter proximal nucleosomes. Micrococcal nuclease digested mononucleosome DNA from wild type and fun30D cells were sequenced by illumina Genome Analyzer. Genome-wide nucleosome positioning and occupancy were analyzed.
