Expression profiling of nhp6 mutants and wildtype yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

ABSTRACT: The basic unit of genome packaging is the nucleosome, and nucleosomes have long been proposed to restrict DNA accessibility both to damage and to transcription. However, nucleosome number in cells was considered fixed, and no condition was described where nucleosome number was reduced. We show here that mammalian cells lacking High Mobility Group Box 1 protein (HMGB1) contain a reduced amount of core, linker and variant histones, and a correspondingly reduced number of nucleosomes. Yeast nhp6 mutants lacking NHP6A and –B proteins, which are related to HMGB1, also have a reduced amount of histones and fewer nucleosomes. Nucleosome limitation in both mammalian and yeast cells increases the sensitivity of DNA to damage, increases transcription globally, and the relative expression of about 10% of genes. In yeast nhp6 cells the loss of more than one nucleosome in four does not affect the location of nucleosomes and their spacing, but nucleosomal occupancy. The decrease in nucleosomal occupancy is non-uniform, and our results can be modelled assuming that different nucleosomal sites compete for the available histones: sites with high affinity are almost always packaged into nucleosomes both in wt and nucleosome-depleted cells, whereas sites with low affinity are less frequently packaged in nucleosome-depleted cells. We suggest that by modulating the occupancy of nucleosomes histone availability may constitute a novel layer of epigenetic regulation.

This microarray experiment forms part of a larger study of the effects of nucleosome depletion on transcription Using the Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array, yeast nhp6 mutants (lacking NHP6A and NHP6B proteins) were compared to wildtype yeast cells (3 biological replicates per condition)

Nucleosomes protect DNA from irradiation-induced double strand breaks in living cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:The depletion of HMGB1 reduces the deposition of histones on naked DNA (Celona et al, 2011). in primary MEFs and yeast. We verified that the downmodulation of HMGB1 decreases histone level also in a model of murine mesothelioma. HMGB1 was KD in Murine Mesothelioma AB22 cells by the expression of a shRNA. Nucleosome positioning and occupancy were tested by ATAC-seq. Since a reduced amount of nucleosomes increase the cell sensitivity to gamma irradiatio, we tested the number and position of breaks using BLISS-seq.

Nucleosome occupancy in yeast BY4741and a strain lacking MSN2 and MSN4 responding to 20 min treatment with 0.4mM H2O2

Project description:Numerous factors have been implicated in regulating gene expression changes, including changes to nucleosome occupancy. Here we followed dynamic changes to nucleosome occupancy, gene expression and DNA binding of the transcription factor Msn2p genome-wide in yeast cells responding to hydrogen peroxide and reveal new relationships between regulators of stress-dependent gene expression in yeast. Nucleosome occupancy was measured in the S288c derivative BY4741 and a strain lacking MSN2 and MSN4. Nucleosomes were isolated from unstressed yeast and yeast treated for 20 min with 0.4mM H2O2. Nucleosomal samples were compared in a 2-color, competitive hybridization to sheared genomic DNA.

Architecture of the chromatin remodeler RSC and insights into its nucleosome engagement

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into nucleosome arrays, which are repositioned by chromatin remodeling complexes to control DNA accessibility. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC (Remodeling the Structure of Chromatin) complex, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler family, plays critical roles in genome maintenance, transcription, and DNA repair. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and crosslinking mass spectrometry (CLMS) studies of yeast RSC complex and show that RSC is composed of a rigid tripartite core and two flexible lobes. The core structure is scaffolded by an asymmetric Rsc8 dimer and built with the evolutionarily conserved subunits Sfh1, Rsc6, Rsc9 and Sth1. The flexible ATPase lobe, composed of helicase subunit Sth1, Arp7, Arp9 and Rtt102, is anchored to this core by the N-terminus of Sth1. Our cryo-EM analysis of RSC bound to a nucleosome core particle shows that in addition to the expected nucleosome-Sth1 interactions, RSC engages histones and nucleosomal DNA through one arm of the core structure, composed of the Rsc8 SWIRM domains, Sfh1 and Npl6. Our findings provide structural insights into the conserved assembly process for all members of the SWI/SNF family of remodelers, and illustrate how RSC selects, engages, and remodels nucleosomes.

Absolute nucleosome occupancy map for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome [ODM-seq]

Project description:Mapping of nucleosomes, the basic DNA packaging unit in eukaryotes, is fundamental for understanding genome regulation as nucleosomes modulate DNA access by their positioning along the genome. A cell population nucleosome map requires two observables: nucleosome positions along the DNA (“Where?”) and nucleosome occupancies across the population (“In how many cells?”). All available genome-wide nucleosome mapping techniques are yield methods as they score either nucleosomal (e.g., MNase-seq, chemical cleavage-seq) or non-nucleosomal (e.g., ATAC-seq) DNA but lose track of the total DNA population for each genomic region. Therefore, they only provide nucleosome positions and maybe compare relative occupancies between positions but cannot measure absolute nucleosome occupancy, which is the fraction of all DNA molecules occupied at a given position and time by a nucleosome. Here, we established two orthogonal and thereby crossvalidating approaches to measure absolute nucleosome occupancy across the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome via restriction enzymes and DNA methyltransferases. The resulting high-resolution (9 bp) map shows uniform absolute occupancies. Most nucleosome positions are occupied in most cells: 97% of all nucleosomes called by chemical cleavage-seq have a mean absolute occupancy of 90 ± 6% (± SD). Depending on nucleosome position calling procedures, there are 57-60,000 nucleosomes per yeast cell. The few low absolute occupancy nucleosomes do not correlate with highly transcribed gene bodies, but with increased presence of the nucleosome-evicting RSC chromatin remodeling complex there and are enriched upstream of highly transcribed or regulated genes. Our work provides a quantitative method and reference frame in absolute terms for future chromatin studies.
