Prevention of chromatin destabilization by FACT is crucial for malignant transformation

ABSTRACT: Histone chaperone FACT is commonly expressed and essential for the viability of transformed but not normal cells and its expression levels correlate with poor prognosis in cancer patients. FACT binds several components of nucleosomes and has been viewed as a factor destabilizing nucleosomes to facilitate RNA polymerase passage. To connect FACT’s role in transcription with the viability of tumor cells, we analyzed genome-wide FACT binding to chromatin in conjunction with transcription in mouse and human cells with different degrees of FACT dependence. While genomic distribution and density of FACT correlated with the intensity of transcription, FACT knockout or knockdown was unexpectedly accompanied by the elevation, rather than suppression, of transcription and with the destabilization of chromatin. These data suggest that the real function of FACT is to stabilize and reassemble nucleosomes disturbed by transcription. This function is apparently vital for tumor cells because malignant transformation is accompanied by chromatin destabilization.

ChIP-seq for Spt16 before and after transcription inhibition

Project description:The FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transactions) complex is a conserved complex that maintains chromatin structure on transcriptionally active genes. Consistent with this, FACT is enriched on highly expressed genes, but how it is targeted to these regions is unknown. In vitro, FACT binds destabilized nucleosomes, supporting the hypothesis that FACT is targeted to transcribed chromatin through recognition of RNA polymerase-disrupted nucleosomes. In this study, we used high resolution analysis of FACT occupancy in S. cerevisiae to test this hypothesis. We demonstrate that FACT interacts with nucleosomes in vivo and its interaction with chromatin is dependent on transcription by any of the three RNA polymerases. Deep sequencing of micrococcal nuclease (MNase)-resistant fragments shows that FACT-bound nucleosomes exhibit differing nuclease sensitivity compared to bulk chromatin, consistent with a modified nucleosome structure being the preferred ligand for this complex. Interestingly, a subset of FACT-bound nucleosomes may be “overlapping di-nucleosomes”, in which one histone octamer invades the ~147 bp territory normally occupied by the adjacent nucleosome. While the differing nuclease sensitivity of FACT-bound nucleosomes could also be explained by the demonstrated ability of FACT to alter nucleosome structure, transcription inhibition restores nuclease resistance suggesting that it is not due to FACT interaction alone. Collectively these results are consistent with a model in which FACT is targeted to transcribed genes through preferential interaction with RNA polymerase-disrupted nucleosomes.

Effect of FACT depletion on the cell composition of bone marrow and intestine in mice

Project description:Preservation of nucleosomes during replication has been extensively studied, while the maintenance of nucleosomes during transcription has gotten less attention. The histone chaperone FACT is involved in transcription elongation, although whether it disassembles or assembles nucleosomes during the passage of RNA polymerase is still unclear. We deleted the FACT subunit in adult mice to clarify the function of FACT in mammals. FACT loss was lethal due to bone marrow and intestinal failure, where the earliest progenitors completely vanished, while several other cell types were increased or decreased. Using cells isolated from several tissues, we showed that FACT loss was lethal only for stem cells but not cells differentiated in vitro. FACT depletion led to increased chromatin accessibility in a transcription-dependent manner, suggesting that nucleosomes are lost from transcribed regions in the absence of FACT. The most prominent response to the loss of chromatin integrity was the activation of interferon signaling and the accumulation of immunocytes in sensitive organs. FACT maintained chromatin integrity during transcription in mammalian adult stem cells, suggesting that chromatin transcription in these cells is different from more differentiated cells.

The histone chaperone Spt6 controls chromatin structure through its conserved N-terminal domain [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The disassembly and reassembly of nucleosomes by histone chaperones is an essential activity during eukaryotic transcription elongation. This highly conserved process maintains chromatin integrity by transiently removing nucleosomes as barriers and then restoring them in the wake of transcription. While transcription elongation requires multiple histone chaperones, there is little understanding of how most of them function and why so many are required. Here, we show that the histone chaperone Spt6 acts through its acidic, intrinsically disordered N-terminal domain (NTD) to bind histones and control chromatin structure. The Spt6 NTD is essential for viability and its histone binding activity is conserved between yeast and humans. The essential nature of the Spt6 NTD can be bypassed by changes in another histone chaperone, FACT, revealing a close functional connection between the two. Our results have led to a mechanistic model for dynamic cooperation between multiple histone chaperones during transcription elongation.
