HIRA, a Conserved Histone Chaperone, Plays an Essential Role in Low-dose Stress Response via Transcriptional Stimulation in Fission Yeast

ABSTRACT: Cells that have been pre-exposed to mild stress (priming stress) acquire transient resistance to subsequent severe stress even under different combinations of stresses. This phenomenon is called cross-tolerance. Although it has been reported that cross-tolerance occurs in many organisms, the molecular basis is not clear yet. Here, we identified slm9+ as a responsible gene for the cross-tolerance in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Slm9 is a homolog of mammalian HIRA histone chaperone. HIRA forms a conserved complex and gene disruption of other HIRA complex components, Hip1, Hip3, and Hip4, also yielded a cross-tolerance-defective phenotype, indicating that the fission yeast HIRA is involved in the cross-tolerance as a complex. We also revealed that Slm9 was recruited to the stress-responsive gene loci upon stress treatment in an Atf1-dependent manner. The expression of stress-responsive genes under stress conditions was compromised in HIRA disruptants. Consistent with this, Pol II recruitment and nucleosome eviction at these gene loci were impaired in slm9D cells. Furthermore, we found that the priming stress enhanced the expression of stress-responsive genes in wild-type cells that were exposed to the severe stress. These observations suggest that HIRA functions in stress response through transcriptional regulation. To determine whether fission yeast HIRA specifically regulates stress-responsive genes under stress condition, we performed genome-wide analysis by using Affymetrix GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays.

Fission yeast cells (WT, slm9D, hip1D) were grown in quadruplicate at 32Â°C to the logarithmic phase and an aliquot was collected as the unstressed control. The other three aliquots were exposed to 40Â°C for 1 h, 25 mM H2O2 for 1 h, or 40Â°C for 1 h followed by 25 mM H2O2 for 1 h, respectively. Total RNA was purified and all the 12 RNA samples were analyzed with GeneChip Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (Affymetrix).

Histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA is required for acquired tolerance by rendering stress-responsive genes poised for prospective lethal stresses [RNA-seq]

Project description:Appropriate responses to environmental challenges are imperative for the survival of all living organisms. Exposure to low-dose stresses is recognized to yield increased cellular fitness, a phenomenon termed hormesis. However, our molecular understanding of how cells respond to low-dose stress remains profoundly limited. Here we report that histone variant H3.3-specific chaperone, HIRA, is required for acquired tolerance, where low-dose heat stress exposure confers resistance to subsequent lethal heat stress. We found that human HIRA activates stress-responsive genes, including HSP70, by depositing histone H3.3 following low-dose stresses. These genes are also marked with histone H3 Lys-4 trimethylation and H3 Lys-9 acetylation, both active chromatin markers. Moreover, depletion of HIRA greatly diminished acquired tolerance, both in normal diploid fibroblasts and in HeLa cells. Collectively, our study revealed that HIRA is required for eliciting adaptive stress responses under environmental fluctuations and is a master regulator of stress tolerance.

Transcription profiling of hip1::ura4+ and slm9::ura4+ S. pombe to investigate the role of the HIRA histone chaperone complex

Project description:The assembly of nucleosomes by histone chaperones is an important component of transcriptional regulation. Here we have assessed the global roles of the S. pombe HIRA histone chaperone complex. Microarray analysis indicates that inactivation of the HIRA complex results in increased expression of at least 4% of fission yeast genes. HIRA-regulated genes overlap with those which are normally repressed in vegetatively growing cells, such as targets of the Clr6 histone deacetylase and silenced genes located in subtelomeric regions. HIRA is also required for silencing of all 13 intact copies of the Tf2 long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon. However, the role of HIRA is not restricted to bona fide promoters, because it also suppresses non-coding transcripts from solo LTR elements and spurious antisense transcripts from cryptic promoters associated with transcribed regions. Furthermore, the HIRA complex is essential in the absence of the quality control provided by nuclear exosome-mediated degradation of illegitimate transcripts. This suggests that HIRA restricts genomic accessibility, and, consistent with this, the chromosomes of cells lacking HIRA are more susceptible to genotoxic agents that cause double strand breaks. Thus the HIRA histone chaperone is required to maintain the protective functions of chromatin.

Expression data from Control, HIRA and CABIN1 knockdown cells

Project description:The mammalian HIRA/UBN1/ASF1a complex is a histone chaperone complex that is conserved from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to humans. This complex preferentially deposits the histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner and is implicated in diverse chromatin regu- latory events from gene activation to heterochromatinization. In yeast, the orthologous complex consists of three Hir proteins (Hir1p, Hir2p, and Hir3p), Hpc2p, and Asf1p. Yeast Hir3p has weak homology to CABIN1, a fourth member of the human complex, suggesting that Hir3p and CABIN1 may be orthologs. Here we show that HIRA and CABIN1 interact at ectopic and endogenous levels of expression in cells, and we isolate the quaternary HIRA/UBN1/CABIN1/ASF1a (HUCA) complex, assembled from recombinant proteins. Mutational analyses support the view that HIRA acts as a scaffold to bring together UBN1, ASF1a, and CABIN1 into a quaternary complex. We show that, like HIRA, UBN1, and ASF1a, CABIN1 is involved in heterochromatinization of the genome of senescent human cells. Moreover, in proliferating cells, HIRA and CABIN1 regulate overlapping sets of genes, and these genes are enriched in the histone variant H3.3. In sum, these data demonstrate that CABIN1 is a functional member of the human HUCA complex and so is the likely ortholog of yeast Hir3p. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after knockdown of HIRA and CABIN1 in 3 replicates HeLa cells were nucleofacted with Dharmacon control siRNA and siRNA to HIRA and CABIN1 and RNA was isolated 72 hours after transfection.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation

Project description:Fission yeast cells undergo meiosis and sporulation under conditions of nutritional stress, most frequently nitrogen starvation. This is a complex developmental process, which results in the formation of four spores that are highly resistant to environmental stress. We have carried out time course experiments with diploid fission yeast cells undergoing meiosis and sporulation. In this experiment we have used wild type diploids, and induced meiosis by removal of nitrogen from the medium. As a reference we used a pool consisting of equal amount of RNA from all time points of the experiments. This experiment is part of a series, with accession numbers E-SNGR-2 to E-SNGR-7.

HDAC mediated suppression of histone turnover promotes epigenetic stability of heterochromatin

Project description:Analysis of histone H3 turnover in wild-type and mutant fission yeast cells by using MNase-ChIP-chip Exponentially growing cultures of fission yeast cells expressing an ectopic copy of FLAG tagged histone H3 under the control of inv1 promoter were synchronized and expression of H3-FLAG was induced by changing the carbon source of the medium to Sucrose. Cells were crosslinked with 1% Formaldehyde and chromatin was fragmented into mononucleosomes by using micrococcal nuclease (MNase). Chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA recovered with anti-FLAG antibody from wild-type and mutant fission yeast cells and whole cell extracts DNA were amplified by random priming and respectively labeled with Cy5 and Cy3. Labeled DNA samples were mixed and hybridized onto 44k pombe Agilent oligo arrays. Data were processed using Agilent scanner and Feature Extraction software.
