The yeast genome is globally accessible in living cells [OxfordNanopore]

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genomes are packaged into chromatin, which is composed of condensed filaments of regularly spaced nucleosomes, resembling beads on a string. The nucleosome contains ~147 bp of DNA wrapped almost twice around a central core histone octamer. The packaging of DNA into chromatin represents a challenge to transcription factors and other proteins requiring access to their binding sites. Consequently, control of DNA accessibility is thought to play a key role in gene regulation. Here, we measure DNA accessibility genome-wide in living budding yeast cells by inducible expression of DNA methyltransferases. We find that the yeast genome is globally accessible to the methylase in living cells, unlike in nuclei, where DNA accessibility is severely limited. Gene bodies are methylated at only slightly slower rates than promoters, indicating that yeast chromatin is highly dynamic in vivo. In contrast, centromeres are strongly protected in vivo. Global shifts in nucleosome positions occur in cells as they are depleted of RSC, or ISW1 and CHD1, indicating that global nucleosome dynamics are at least partly attributable to ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers. We propose that virtually all yeast chromatin is in a state of continuous flux in living cells, but static in nuclei, suggesting that chromatin packaging is not generally repressive.

DNase02

Project description:In eukaryotes, DNA is packaged into chromatin. It has become evident that the degree of packaging is not uniform along the genome. More compact chromatin greatly hinder access of transcription factors or other DNA-binding or modifying proteins, and DNA accessibility is an important yet poorly studied layer of regulation. The aim of the study was to map DNA accessibility in chromatin of Arabidopsis leaf nuclei using DNaseI sensitivity as a proxy for accessibility. Chromatin was digested with DnaseI and genomic fragments of >17kb were hybridized to AGRONOMICS1 tiling arrays.

RIP-seq analysis of Isw1 interacting transcripts

Project description:This experiment captures the poly(A)RNAs co-immunoprecipated with Isw1 in WT and npl3-1 cells. Chromatin remodelers play an essential role in regulating DNA transaction processes. The yeast chromatin remodeling complex ISW1 displays an unexpected function in nuclear mRNP surveillance, retaining premature mRNPs in proximity to their transcription site. This activity of ISW1 requires its recruitment onto chromatin, its interaction with mRNPs but not its nucleosome sliding activity. In npl3-1 cells, mRNA export is compromised resulting in an increased association of mRNAs with Isw1.

DNA accessibility is not the primary determinant of chromatin-mediated gene regulation (yeast III)

Project description:DNA accessibility is thought to be of major importance in regulating gene expression. We test this hypothesis using a restriction enzyme as a probe of chromatin structure and as a proxy for transcription factors. We measured the digestion rate and the fraction of accessible DNA at all genomic AluI sites in budding yeast and mouse liver nuclei. Hepatocyte DNA is more accessible than yeast DNA, consistent with longer linkers between nucleosomes, and indicating that DNA accessibility is primarily determined by nucleosome spacing. Remarkably, AluI sites in inactive mouse promoters are accessible in some cells. Furthermore, euchromatin and heterochromatin have very similar accessibilities. Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in DNA accessibility has implications for chromatin models of gene regulation: a transcription factor binding site is blocked in some cells, but not in all cells, guaranteeing neither activation nor repression.

Dynamics of yeast ISWI and CHD chromatin remodeler genomic association (part 1)

Project description:Chromatin remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, yeast ISWI and CHD remodelers require > 20 bp of extranucleosomal DNA for remodeling, but linker DNA in S. cerevisiae averages < 20 bp. To resolve this paradox, we have mapped the genomic distributions of the yeast Isw1, Isw2, and Chd1 remodelers at base-pair resolution. Surprisingly, remodelers are highly enriched at promoter nucleosome depleted regions (5' NDRs), where they bind to regions of extended linker DNA. Remodelers are also enriched in the bodies of genes displaying high nucleosome turnover. We hypothesize that remodelers bind but do not act at 5' NDRs, remaining in physical proximity to gene bodies, where they act on regions of transient nucleosome depletion following transcriptional elongation. We have analyzed the dynamics of yeast ISWI and CHD chromatin remodeler genomic association at base-pair resolution using native chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (N-ChIP-seq).
