Project description:Both, acetylation of histones and of histone variant H2A.Z are conserved features of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) and both features appear to be critical for correct transcription initiation. However, complex patterns of transcriptional regulation have complicated the establishment of functional links between histone acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and their importance in transcription regulation. To elucidate these links, we took advantage of the unusual genome organization in Trypanosoma brucei, a highly divergent eukaryote. In T. brucei genes are organized in long polycistronic transcription units, drastically reducing the sites of transcription initiation. Employing a highly sensitive and quantitative mass-spectrometry-based approach, we quantified the genome-wide histone acetylation and methylation pattern and identified various acetyl and methyl marks exclusively enriched at TSSs In addition, we show that deletion of histone acetyltransferase 2 results in a loss of H4 acetylation at TSSs, a loss of H2A.Z deposition at TSSs and a shift in the sites of transcription initiation. Combined, our findings demonstrate an evolutionary conserved link between histone H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and RNA transcription initiation.

Project description:A major class of chemotherapeutics targets topoisomerase II for DNA double-strand breaks and cancer cell elimination. We compare four members of this class?the anthracyclines doxorubicin, daunorubicin and aclarubicin that does not induce DNA breaks?and a different compound, etoposide. We define a novel activity for anthracyclines: histone eviction from open chromosomal areas. Since histone variant H2AX is also evicted, DNA damage response is attenuated when compared to etoposide. Histone eviction also affects the epigenetic code and deregulates the transcriptome in cancer cells and organs such as the heart. Histone eviction by anthracyclines can drive apoptosis of topoisomerase-negative acute myeloid leukemia blasts in patients. Doxo- and daunorubicin combine the activities of two anti-cancer drugs: etoposide for DNA damage and aclarubicin for histone eviction. We define a novel mechanism of action of anti-cancer drugs doxo- and daunorubicin on chromatin biology with profound consequences on DNA damage responses, epigenetics, transcription, side effects and anti-cancer activities. Comparison of histone occupancy of cells or tissues treated with topoisomerase II inhibitors to un-treated ones by FAIRE-seq.

Project description:BruUV-seq utilizes UV light to introduce transcription-blocking DNA lesions randomly in the genome prior to bromouridine-labeling and deep sequencing of nascent RNA. By inhibiting transcription elongation, but not initiation, pre-treatment with UV light leads to a redistribution of transcription reads resulting in the enhancement of nascent RNA signal towards the 5′-end of genes promoting the identification of transcription start sites (TSSs). Furthermore, transcripts associated with arrested RNA polymerases are protected from 3′–5′ degradation and thus, unstable transcripts such as putative enhancer RNA (eRNA) are dramatically increased. Validation of BruUV-seq against GRO-cap that identifies capped run-on transcripts showed that most BruUV-seq peaks overlapped with GRO-cap signal over both TSSs and enhancer elements. Finally, BruUV-seq identified putative enhancer elements induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment concomitant with expression of nearby TNF-induced genes. Taken together, BruUV-seq is a powerful new approach for identifying TSSs and active enhancer elements genome-wide in intact cells.

Project description:Global warming imposes a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In some plants including Arabidopsis thaliana, elevated temperatures induce a series of morphological and developmental adjustments, termed thermomorphogenesis to facilitate plant cooling under high-temperature conditions. Plant thermal response is suppressed by histone variant H2A.Z. At warm temperatures, H2A.Z is evicted from nucleosomes at thermo-responsive genes, resulting in their activation. However, the mechanisms that regulate H2A.Z eviction and subsequent transcription activation are largely unknown. Here, we show that the ino80 chromatin-remodeling complex (ino80-C) promotes thermomorphogenesis and activates the expression of thermo-responsive and auxin-related genes. ino80-C associates with PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), a potent regulator in thermomorphogenesis, and mediates temperature-induced H2A.Z eviction at PIF4 targets. Moreover, ino80-C directly interacts with COMPASS-like and transcription elongation factors to promote active histone modification Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) elongation, leading to the thermal induction of transcription. Notably, transcription elongation factors are required for the eviction of H2A.Z at PIF4 targets, suggesting the cooperation of ino80-C and transcription elongation in H2A.Z removal. Our results demonstrate that the (PIF4)-(ino80-C)-(COMPASS-like)-(transcription elongator) module controls plant thermal response, and establish a link between H2A.Z eviction and active transcription.

By inhibiting transcription elongation, but not initiation, pre-treatment with UV light leads to a redistribution of transcription reads resulting in the enhancement of nascent RNA signal towards the 5â²-end of genes promoting the identification of transcription start sites (TSSs).

Validation of BruUV-seq against GRO-cap that identifies capped run-on transcripts showed that most BruUV-seq peaks overlapped with GRO-cap signal over both TSSs and enhancer elements. Finally, BruUV-seq identified putative enhancer elements induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment concomitant with expression of nearby TNF-induced genes. Taken together, BruUV-seq is a powerful new approach for identifying TSSs and active enhancer elements genome-wide in intact cells. Two cell lines were used. K562 cells were mock-irradiated (control) or UVC-irradiated at two different doses (25 and 100 J/m^2). HF1 cells were UVC-irradiated (20 J/m^2) in three independent experiments (nfUV4,nfUV3a, and nfUV3b). In one experiment, HF1 cells were also treated with TNF (10 ng/mL) 1 h prior to UV irradiation (tnfpreUV2, paired with nfUV4).

Project description:Anthracyclines act by disrupting the interface of TopoII and DNA and by evicting histones. The anthracycline-specific redistribution of TopoII and its association with histone eviction were addressed in K562 cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) against endogenously tagged TopoIIα, and transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) was performed 4 hours after anthracycline exposure.
