Project description:UnlabelledTranscription factor binding events are frequently associated with a pattern of nucleosome occupancy changes in which nucleosomes flanking the binding site increase in occupancy, while those in the vicinity of the binding site itself are displaced. Genome-wide information on enhancer proximal nucleosome occupancy can be readily acquired using ChIP-seq targeting enhancer-related histone modifications such as H3K4me2. Here, we present a software package, BINOCh that allows biologists to use such data to infer the identity of key transcription factors that regulate the response of a cell to a stimulus or determine a program of differentiation.AvailabilityThe BINOCh open source Python package is freely available at http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/BINOCh under the FreeBSD license.

Project description:Activation of transcription requires alteration of chromatin by complexes that increase the accessibility of nucleosomal DNA. Removing nucleosomes from regulatory sequences has been proposed to play a significant role in activation. We tested whether changes in nucleosome occupancy occurred on the set of genes that is activated by the unfolded protein response (UPR). We observed no decrease in occupancy on most promoters, gene bodies, and enhancers. Instead, there was an increase in the accessibility of nucleosomes, as measured by micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion and ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin [ATAC] using sequencing), that did not result from removal of the nucleosome. Thus, changes in nucleosome accessibility predominate over changes in nucleosome occupancy during rapid transcriptional induction during the UPR.

Project description:Nucleosome positioning plays an essential role in cellular processes by modulating accessibility of DNA to proteins. Here, using only sequence-dependent DNA flexibility and intrinsic curvature, we predict the nucleosome occupancy along the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila melanogaster and demonstrate the predictive power and universality of our model through its correlation with experimentally determined nucleosome occupancy data. In yeast promoter regions, the computed average nucleosome occupancy closely superimposes with experimental data, exhibiting a <200 bp region unfavourable for nucleosome formation bordered by regions that facilitate nucleosome formation. In the fly, our model faithfully predicts promoter strength as encoded in distinct chromatin architectures characteristic of strongly and weakly expressed genes. We also predict that nucleosomes are repositioned by active mechanisms at the majority of fly promoters. Our model uses only basic physical properties to describe the wrapping of DNA around the histone core, yet it captures a substantial part of chromatin's structural complexity, thus leading to a much better prediction of nucleosome occupancy than methods based merely on periodic curved DNA motifs. Our results indicate that the physical properties of the DNA chain, and not just the regulatory factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes, play key roles in eukaryotic transcription.

Project description:Recent developments in next-generation sequencing have enabled whole-genome profiling of nucleosome organizations. Although several algorithms for inferring nucleosome position from a single experimental condition have been available, it remains a challenge to accurately define dynamic nucleosomes associated with environmental changes. Here, we report a comprehensive bioinformatics pipeline, DANPOS, explicitly designed for dynamic nucleosome analysis at single-nucleotide resolution. Using both simulated and real nucleosome data, we demonstrated that bias correction in preliminary data processing and optimal statistical testing significantly enhances the functional interpretation of dynamic nucleosomes. The single-nucleotide resolution analysis of DANPOS allows us to detect all three categories of nucleosome dynamics, such as position shift, fuzziness change, and occupancy change, using a uniform statistical framework. Pathway analysis indicates that each category is involved in distinct biological functions. We also analyzed the influence of sequencing depth and suggest that even 200-fold coverage is probably not enough to identify all the dynamic nucleosomes. Finally, based on nucleosome data from the human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), we demonstrated that DANPOS is also robust in defining functional dynamic nucleosomes, not only in promoters, but also in distal regulatory regions in the mammalian genome.

Project description:Quantitative understanding of the principles regulating nucleosome occupancy on a genome-wide level is a central issue in eukaryotic genomics. Here, we address this question using budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model organism. We perform a genome-wide computational analysis of the nonspecific transcription factor (TF)-DNA binding free-energy landscape and compare this landscape with experimentally determined nucleosome-binding preferences. We show that DNA regions with enhanced nonspecific TF-DNA binding are statistically significantly depleted of nucleosomes. We suggest therefore that the competition between TFs with histones for nonspecific binding to genomic sequences might be an important mechanism influencing nucleosome-binding preferences in vivo. We also predict that poly(dA:dT) and poly(dC:dG) tracts represent genomic elements with the strongest propensity for nonspecific TF-DNA binding, thus allowing TFs to outcompete nucleosomes at these elements. Our results suggest that nonspecific TF-DNA binding might provide a barrier for statistical positioning of nucleosomes throughout the yeast genome. We predict that the strength of this barrier increases with the concentration of DNA binding proteins in a cell. We discuss the connection of the proposed mechanism with the recently discovered pathway of active nucleosome reconstitution.

Project description:In the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA is packaged into chromatin. The fundamental subunit of chromatin is the nucleosome, DNA is wrapped 1.6 times around a histone octamer core. Nuclear processes in eukaryotes are impacted by whether regulatory DNA is occupied by nucleosomes. We used microarrays to measure nucleosome occupancy in human cells post Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) reactivation at hundreds of immunity-related loci. The detailed analysis of these technologies can be found in recent publications from our lab (Druliner et al., 2013; Sexton et al., 2014). We found that nucleosome redistributions displayed chromosome specific nucleosome occupancy. This resource can be used to map nucleosome distributions in a variety of biological contexts.

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 to reveal new relationships between regulators of stress-dependent gene expression.
