The effect of pab2 deletion or clr4-1 mutation on gene expression in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus

ABSTRACT: Pab2/PABPN1 is a nuclear poly(A)-binding protein, but its function is not fully understood yet. To investigate the Pab2 role in shaping transcriptome, we delete the pab2 gene in S. japonicus and characterize it. We found that meiosis-related genes are increased in pab2∆. Surprisingly, we observed the increases in transcripts derived from constitutive heterochromatin. Moreover, the upregulated and downregulated genes in pab2∆ and clr4 (the ortholog of the histone H3 Lys9 methyltransferase SUV39) mutant cells were significantly overlapped. Besides, constitutive heterochromatin is adversely affected in pab2∆. Our analyses demonstrate that Pab2 is required for the assembly of constitutive heterochromatin, and this finding provides a new insight into the Pab2 function(s).

RNA quality control factors nucleate Clr4/SUV39H and trigger constitutive heterochromatin assembly

Project description:In eukaryotes, the Suv39 family of proteins tri-methylate lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me) to form constitutive heterochromatin. However, how Suv39 proteins are nucleated at heterochromatin is not fully described. In the fission yeast, current models posit that Argonaute1-associated small RNAs (sRNAs) nucleate the sole H3K9 methyltransferase, Clr4/SUV39H, to centromeres. Here, we show that in the absence of all sRNAs and H3K9me, the Mtl1 and Red1 core (MTREC)/PAXT complex nucleates Clr4/SUV39H at a heterochromatic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) at which the two H3K9 deacetylases, Sir2 and Clr3, also accumulate by distinct mechanisms. Iterative cycles of H3K9 deacetylation and methylation spread Clr4/SUV39H from the nucleation center in an sRNA-independent manner, generating a basal H3K9me state. This is acted upon by the RNAi machinery to augment and amplify the Clr4/H3K9me signal at centromeres to establish heterochromatin. Overall, our data reveal that lncRNAs and RNA quality control factors can nucleate heterochromatin and function as epigenetic silencers in eukaryotes.

Phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 relieves competition with Suv39/Clr4 on nucleosomes and enables H3K9 trimethyl spreading.

Project description:Heterochromatin formation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe requires the spreading of histone 3 (H3) Lysine 9 (K9) methylation (me) from nucleation centers by the H3K9 methylase, Suv39/Clr4, and the reader protein, HP1/Swi6. To accomplish this, Suv39/Clr4 and HP1/Swi6 have to associate with nucleosomes both nonspecifically, binding DNA and octamer surfaces and specifically, via recognition of methylated H3K9 by their respective chromodomains. However, how both proteins avoid competition for the same nucleosomes in this process is unclear. Here, we show that phosphorylation tunes the nucleosome affinity of HP1/Swi6 such that it preferentially partitions onto Suv39/Clr4’s trimethyl product rather than its unmethylated substrates. Preferential partitioning enables efficient conversion from di-to trimethylation on nucleosomes in vitro and H3K9me3 spreading in vivo. Together, our data suggests that phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 creates a regime that relieves competition with the “read-write” mechanism of Suv39/Clr4 for productive heterochromatin spreading.

Small RNA sequences from Schizosaccharomyces japonicus

Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are known to be involved in both transposon silencing and centromere function, leading us to investigate the interplay between these two roles in the Schizosaccharomyces lineage. In S. pombe, the centromeric repeats produce dicer-dependent siRNAs that are required for maintenance of centromeric structure, function and transcriptional silencing via Argonaute-dependent heterochromatin formation13. However, transposons are silenced in S. pombe by RNAi-independent mechanisms and do not produce abundant siRNAs. To investigate whether centromere-directed siRNA production is conserved within the transposon-rich centromeres of S. japonicus, we isolated and sequenced small RNAs from log-phase S. japonicus cultures. The small RNAs have a modal size of 23 nucleotides and 94% map to transposons, both telomeric and centromeric. Isolation and computational analysis of small RNAs from wild-type S. japonicus

The Cross-Regulation Between Set1, Clr4, and Lsd1/2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Eukaryotic chromatin is organized into either silenced heterochromatin or relaxed euchromatin regions, which controls the accessibility of transcriptional machinery and thus regulates gene expression. In fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Set1 is the sole H3K4 methyltransferase and is mainly enriched at the promoters of actively transcribed genes. In contrast, Clr4 methyltransferase initiates H3K9 methylation, which has long been regarded as a hallmark of heterochromatic silencing. Lsd1 and Lsd2 are two highly conserved H3K4 and H3K9 demethylases. As these histone-modifying enzymes perform critical roles in maintaining histone methylation patterns and, consequently, gene expression profiles, cross-regulations among these enzymes are parts of the complex regulatory networks. Thus, elucidating the mechanisms that govern their signaling and mutual regulations remains crucial. Here, we demonstrated that C-terminal truncation mutants, lsd1-∆HMG and lsd2-∆C, do not compromise the integrity of the Lsd1/2 complex but impair their chromatin-binding capacity at the promoter region of target genomic loci. We identified the protein-protein interactions between Lsd1/2 and Raf2 or Swd2, which are the subunits of the Clr4 complex (CLRC) and Set1-associated complexes (COMPASS), respectively. We showed that Clr4 and Set1 modulate the protein levels of Lsd1 and Lsd2 in opposite ways through the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent pathway. During heat stress, the protein levels of Lsd1 and Lsd2 are upregulated in a Set1-dependent manner. The increase in protein levels is crucial for differential gene expression under stressed conditions. Together, our results support a cross-regulatory model by which Set1 and Clr4 methyltransferases control the protein levels of Lsd1/2 demethylases to shape the dynamic chromatin landscape.
