The Histone Variant H2A.Z C-terminal Domain Has Locus- Specific Differential Effects on H2A.Z Occupancy and Nucleosome Localization

ABSTRACT: The incorporation of histone variant H2A.Z, a conserved H2A variant, into nucleosomes creates specialized chromatin domains that regulate DNA-templated processes, including transcription. H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes may poise gene regulatory regions for transcription, but mechanistic details are lacking. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the diverging H2A.Z C-terminus is thought to provide the H2A.Z exclusive functions. To elucidate the roles of this H2A.Z C-terminus genome wide, we made use of derivatives where the C-terminus was replaced with the corresponding region of H2A (ZA protein), or the H2A region plus a transcriptional activating peptide, with the idea of regenerating the H2A.Z-dependent regulation globally. An assessment of the genome-wide distribution of these H2A.Z derivatives shows that the H2A.Z C-terminal region is crucial for both maintaining the occupation level of H2A.Z and the proper positioning of the targeted nucleosomes. Interestingly, the specific contribution on incorporation efficiency vs nucleosome positioning varies enormously, depending on loci analyzed. For the ZA protein, positioning changes most importantly near origins of replication and snoRNA gene promoters, while incorporation is affected on all other sites. Furthermore, the role of H2A.Z in global transcription regulation also depends on its C-terminal region. Remarkably however, the latter mostly involves genes without a H2A.Z nucleosome in the promoter.

Stepwise histone replacement by SWR1 requires dual activation with histone H2A.Z and canonical nucleosome

Project description:Histone variant H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes are incorporated at most eukaryotic promoters. This incorporation is mediated by the conserved SWR1 complex, which replaces histone H2A in canonical nucleosomes with H2A.Z in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we show that promoter-proximal nucleosomes are highly heterogeneous for H2A.Z in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with substantial representation of nucleosomes containing one, two, or no H2A.Z molecules. SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro occurs in a stepwise and unidirectional fashion, one H2A.Z-H2B dimer at a time, producing heterotypic nucleosomes as intermediates and homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes as end products. The ATPase activity of SWR1 is specifically stimulated by H2A-containing nucleosomes without ensuing histone H2A eviction. Remarkably, further addition of free H2A.Z-H2B dimer leads to hyperstimulation of ATPase activity, eviction of nucleosomal H2A-H2B and deposition of H2A.Z-H2B. These results suggest that the combination of H2A-containing nucleosome and free H2A.Z-H2B dimer acting as both effector and substrate for SWR1 governs the specificity and outcome of the replacement reaction. Total nucleosomes from MNase-treated nuclear extracts were fractionated by sequential immunoprecipitation into homotypic H2A/H2A (AA), heterotypic H2A/H2A.Z (AZ), and homotypic H2A.Z/H2A.Z (ZZ) nucleosomes.

Recognition of inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome by Swc2 is a major determinant for unidirectional H2A.Z exchange

Project description:The site-specific chromatin incorporation of eukaryotic histone variant H2A.Z is driven by the multi-component chromatin remodeling complex SWR1/SRCAP/ p400. The budding yeast SWR1 complex replaces the H2A-H2B dimer in the canonical nucleosome with the H2A.Z-H2B dimer, but the mechanism governing the directionality of H2A-to-H2A.Z exchange remains elusive. Here, we use single-molecule force spectroscopy to dissect the disassembly/ reassembly of H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome. We find that the N-terminal 1-135 residues of yeast SWR1-complex-protein-2 (previously termed Swc2-Z) facilitate the disassembly of nucleosomes containing H2A but not H2A.Z. The Swc2-mediated nucleosome disassembly/reassembly requires the inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome, whose instability is conferred by three H2A α2-helix residues Gly47, Pro49 and Ile63 as they selectively weaken the structural rigidity of H2A-H2B dimer. It also requires Swc2-ZN (residues 1-37) that directly anchors to H2A-nucleosome and functions in the SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro and yeast H2A.Z deposition in vivo. Our findings providecrucial insights into how SWR1 complex discriminates between the H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome, establishing a simple paradigm for the governace of unidirectional H2A.Z exchange.

Analyses of H2A and H2A.Z incorporations into chromatin of permeabilized cells

Project description:Histone proteins, including their variants, play indispensable roles in chromatin structure and function. The specific histone incorporation is the key to epigenetic features and contributes to cell differentiation and development. To understand how each histone is targeted to and incorporated into the specific chromatin region, we used a new method, in which we introduced epitope-tagged histone complexes in permeabilized cells and let them incorporated into the chromatin. The newly incorporated histone complex is easily distinguished from the parental histones by the epitope-tag. We name this as RhIP (Reconstituted histone complex Incorporation into chromatin of Permeabilized cell) assay. We analyzed the correlation between the histone incorporation and the chromatin structure, using the H2A-H2B and H2A.Z-H2B complexes. The histone incorporation mainly occurred at less condensed chromatin (open), suggesting that the condensed chromatin (closed) is a barrier for histone incorporation. To overcome this barrier, H2A, but not H2A.Z, uses a replication-coupled deposition mechanism. This led to the genome-wide distribution of H2A and the exclusion of H2A.Z from the closed chromatin.

H2A.Z inheritance during the cell cycle and its impact on promoter organization and dynamics [ChIP-seq]

Project description:While it has been clearly established that well positioned H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes flank the nucleosome depleted region (NDR) at the transcriptional start site (TSS) of active mammalian genes, how this chromatin-based information is transmitted through the cell cycle is unknown. We show here that in trophoblast stem (TS) cells, the level of H2A.Z at promoters decreases during S phase coinciding with homotypic (H2A.Z/H2A.Z) nucleosomes flanking the TSS becoming heterotypic (H2A.Z/H2A). Surprisingly, these nucleosomes remain heterotypic at M phase. At the TSS, we identify an unstable heterotypic H2A.Z-containing nucleosome in G1 which, strikingly, is lost following DNA replication. These dynamic changes in H2A.Z at the TSS mirror a global expansion of the NDR at S and M which, unexpectedly, is unrelated to transcriptional activity. Coincident with the loss of H2A.Z at promoters, it is targeted to the centromere when mitosis begins We performed ChIP-Seq experiments (on mouse Trophoblast Stem cells arrested at G1; S and M stages of thecell cycle) using antibodies against histone variant H2A.Z and sequentional ChIP-re-ChIP-Seq experiments using H2A.Z antibody and H2A antibody in sequence. Combining those data sets with microarray gene expression expression data allowed us to see H2A.Z distribution over promoters of mouse coding genes in cell cycle dependant manner. Interestingly, Input also showed cell-cycle dependent effects, but histone H3 could be used as a cell-cycle independent normalisation factor. We also performed ChIP-seq with a CTCF pull-down to investigate its cell-cycle dependent relationship with heterochromatin.

A histone acetylation switch regulates H2A.Z deposition by the SWR-C remodeling enzyme

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z plays key roles in gene expression, DNA repair, and centromere function. H2A.Z deposition is controlled by SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes that catalyze the nucleosomal exchange of canonical H2A with H2A.Z. Here we report that acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56Ac) alters the substrate specificity of SWR-C, leading to promiscuous dimer exchange where either H2A.Z or H2A can be exchanged from nucleosomes. This result is confirmed in vivo, where genome-wide analysis demonstrates widespread decreases in H2A.Z levels in yeast mutants with hyperacetylated H3K56. Our work also suggests that a conserved SWR-C subunit may function as a M-bM-^@M-^\lockM-bM-^@M-^] that prevents removal of H2A.Z from nucleosomes. Our study identifies a histone modification that regulates a chromatin remodeling reaction and provides insights into how histone variants and nucleosome turnover can be controlled by chromatin regulators.

Project description:In eukaryotes, DNA wraps around histones to form nucleosomes, which are compacted into chromatin. DNA-templated processes, including transcription, require chromatin disassembly and reassembly mediated by histone chaperones. Additionally, distinct histone variants can replace core histones to regulate chromatin structure and function. Although replacement of H2A with the evolutionarily conserved H2A.Z via the SWR1 histone chaperone complex has been extensively studied, in plants little is known about how a reduction of H2A.Z levels can be achieved. Here, we show that NRP proteins cause a decrease of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes in Arabidopsis under standard growing conditions. nrp1-1 nrp2-2 double mutants show an over-accumulation of H2A.Z genome-wide, especially at heterochromatic regions normally H2A.Z-depleted in wild-type plants. Our work suggests that NRP proteins regulate gene expression by counteracting SWR1, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of H2A.Z.

Epigenetically induced paucity of histone H2A.Z stabilizes fission yeast ectopic centromeres

Project description:In most eukaryotes, the centromere is epigenetically defined by nucleosomes that contain the histone H3 variant centromere protein A (CENP-A). Specific targeting of the CENP-A-loading chaperone to the centromere is vital for stable centromere propagation; however, the existence of ectopic centromeres (neocentromeres) indicates that this chaperone can function in different chromatin environments. The mechanism responsible for accommodating the CENP-A chaperone at novel chromatin regions is poorly understood. Here, we report the identification of transient, immature neocentromeres in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which show reduced association with the CENP-A chaperone Scm3 attributable to persistence of the histone H2A variant H2A.Z. Following acquisition of adjacent heterochromatin or relocation of the immature neocentromeres to subtelomeric regions, H2A.Z was depleted and Scm3 was replenished, leading to subsequent stabilization of the neocentromeres. These findings provide novel insights into histone variant-mediated epigenetic control of neocentromere establishment.

Potential Roles of H2A.Z Ubiquitination

Project description:Nucleosome is a highly dynamic macromolecular complex that is assembled and remodeled by the replacement of major histone variant H2A.Z, thereby affecting nucleosome structure and stability.Here we established two cell lines stably overexpressing wild-type H2A.Z and mutant H2A.Z with ubiquitination deficiency to explore the potential effects caused by H2A.Z ubiquitination. Intriguingly, H2A.Z ubiquitination was first revealed to enhance the stability of H2A-H2A.Z heterotypic nucleosomes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) further revealed that H2A.Z ubiquitination played a crucial role in the transcriptional regulation.
