An Rtt109-independent role for Vps75 in transcription-associated nucleosome dynamics
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This is the microarray data accompanying the aforementioned manuscript. Summary: The histone chaperone Vps75 forms a complex with, and stimulates the activity of, the histone acetyltransferase Rtt109. However, Vps75 can also be isolated on its own and might therefore play a role in histone-related cellular processes independently of Rtt109. Using the E-MAP approach, we compared the genetic interaction profiles for VPS75 and RTT109 and found that, whereas deletion of RTT109 behaved like DNA replication/repair mutants, vps75Δ genetically interacted with genes linked to transcriptional regulation. Further genetic and biochemical experiments indicated an intimate relationship with RNA polymerase II, and chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that Vps75 is recruited to activated genes in an Rtt109-independent manner. Expression microarray analysis identified a limited number of genes whose normal expression depends on VPS75. Interestingly, histone H2B dynamics at some of these genes were consistent with a role for Vps75 as a histone H2A/H2B eviction factor during transcription-associated nucleosome disassembly. Indeed, reconstitution of nucleosome disassembly using the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler Rsc and Vps75 showed that these proteins can cooperate to remove H2A/H2B dimers from nucleosomes. Together, these results indicate a role for Vps75 in nucleosome dynamics during active transcription, and that this function is likely to be independent of the histone acetyltransferase Rtt109.
