Unmethylated regions that gain methylation (low to high beta value) are known to be accessible and nucleosome depleted. Method used to study changes after epigenetic drug treatments identified that majority of demethylation events are not accompanied by chromatin accessibility changes. Intact nuclei are harvested from cells and treated with M.SssI. DNA is then extracted, bisulfite converted and run on an Infinium methylation array, along with a no-enzyme control. Background subtracted beta values (listed below) are used to determine regions that have gained methylation on enzyme treatment compared to the control - and these are used to infer chromatin state

Project description:Methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides represents one of the most important epigenetic mechanisms involved in the control of gene expression in vertebrate cells. In this report, we conducted high-throughput nucleosome reconstitution experiments on 572 KB of human DNA and 668 KB of mouse DNA that was unmethylated or methylated in order to investigate the effects of this epigenetic modification on the positioning and stability of nucleosomes. The DNA loci from both species contained the genes that encode the serum albumin family, the MYC protein, and the tumor suppressor p53. The results demonstrated that a small subset of nucleosomes positioned by nucleotide sequence was sensitive to methylation where the modification increased the affinity of these sequences for the histone octamer. The features that distinguished these nucleosomes from the bulk of the methylation-insensitive nucleosomes were an increase in the frequency of CpG dinucleotides and a unique rotational orientation of CpGs such that their minor grooves tended to face toward the histones in the nucleosome rather than away. We propose that these features serve to enhance the affinity of methylated DNA for the histone octamer and that this effect could be involved in gene regulatory mechanisms such as silencing. These methylation-sensitive nucleosomes were preferentially associated with exons as compared to introns while unmethylated CpG islands near transcription start sites became enriched in nucleosomes upon methylation. The results of this study suggest that the effects of DNA methylation on nucleosome stability in vitro can recapitulate what has been observed in the cell and provide a direct link between DNA methylation and the structure and function of chromatin. For the human data, there were 3 unmethylated nucleosome replicates, 2 methylated nucleosome replicates, an unmethylated MNase control, and an unmethylated sonicated control. For the mouse data, there were 2 unmethylated nucleosome replicates, 2 methylated nucleosome replicates, an unmethylated MNase control, a methylated MNase control, and an unmethylated sonicated control.

Project description:Coordinated changes of DNA (de)methylation, nucleosome positioning and chromatin binding of the architectural protein CTCF play an important role for establishing cell type specific chromatin states during differentiation. To elucidate molecular mechanisms that link these processes we studied the perturbed DNA modification landscape in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) carrying a double knockout (DKO) of the Tet1 and Tet2 dioxygenases. These enzymes are responsible for the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into its hydroxymethylated (5hmC), formylated (5fC) or carboxylated (5caC) forms. We determined changes in nucleosome positioning, CTCF binding, DNA methylation and gene expression in DKO ESCs, and developed biophysical models to predict differential CTCF binding. Methylation-sensitive nucleosome repositioning accounted for a significant portion of CTCF binding loss in DKO ESCs, while unmethylated and nucleosome-depleted CpG islands were enriched for CTCF sites that remained occupied. A number of CTCF sites also displayed direct correlations with the CpG modification state: CTCF was preferentially lost from sites that were marked with 5hmC in wild type cells but not from 5fC enriched sites. In addition, we found that some CTCF sites can act as bifurcation points defining the differential methylation landscape. CTCF loss from such sites, e.g. at promoters, boundaries of chromatin loops and topologically associated domains (TADs), was correlated with DNA methylation/demethylation spreading and can be linked to downregulation of neighbouring genes. Our results reveal a hierarchical interplay between cytosine modifications, nucleosome positions and DNA sequence that determines differential CTCF binding and regulates gene expression.

Project description:DNA cytosine methylation is a hallmark of epigenetic gene silencing. DNA demethylation requires ROS1, a bifunctional DNA glycosylase/lyases and open chromatin status mediated by IDM1. HDA6 is a RDP3-like histone deacetylase and was confirmed to mediate DNA methylation. In previous screening for ros1 suppressor, we identified two hda6 mutants reverting ros1-caused hypermethylation at RD29A and 35S promoters respectively, indicating the antagonization of DNA methylation between HDA6 and ROS1. To learn antagonized effects between HDA6 and ROS1 at DNA cytosine methylation genome-wide, we performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing to search antagonized targets of HDA6 and ROS1 and their specific targets to evaluate their roles on DNA methylation. To evaluate HDA6’s roles in sRNA biogenesis and nucleosome positioning, we also performed small RNA sequencing and genome-wide mapping of nucleosome positioning of C24, ros1, hda6-9 and hda6-10. Our results indicate that around 43% ros1-caused CG hypermethylation, 74.5% and 84.5% ros1-caused CHG and CHH hypermethylation were reverted by the two hda6 alleles in the ros1 background respectively. These results indicate that most of ROS1-demethylated targets are also HDA6-mediated DNA methylated targets. In addition, we observed that HDA6-affected DNA methylation targets are far more than ROS1-demethylation targets at CHG and CHH context, but not at CG context. sRNA analysis showed that HDA6 inhibits LTR/Gypsy and TE gene 24nt siRNA accumulation, while promotes RC/Helitron 24nt siRNA accumulation. Our Mono-nucleosome positioning data further showed that the two hda6 alleles have striking difference on nucleosome positioning, hda6-10 obviously have different nucleosome positioning patterns with hda6-9. Our results indicate HDA6 not only mediates overall DNA methylation at CG, CHG and CHH context, and antagonizes with ROS1 mediated DNA demethylation, but also regulates nucleosome positioning and small RNA accumulation at some genome specific regions.

Project description:Genome-wide chromatin state underlies gene expression potential and cellular function. Epigenetic features and nucleosome positioning are major factors in determining chromatin accessibility. Our study investigates how genomic localization of the histone variant H2A.Z regulates chromatin state in mouse fibroblasts. We define H2A.Z as a universal chromatin accessibility factor, and demonstrate that ANP32E antagonizes H2A.Z accumulation to restrict chromatin accessibility genome-wide. In the absence of ANP32E, H2A.Z accumulates in a hierarchical manner at promoters. H2A.Z initially localizes at the +1 nucleosome, and then if H2A.Z is already present at the +1 nucleosome position in WT, additional H2A.Z accumulates at the -1 nucleosome position. This hierarchical H2A.Z accumulation coincides with improved nucleosome positioning, heightened transcription factor footprint protection, and increased expression for neighboring genes. Thus, ANP32E dramatically influences genome-wide chromatin accessibility through refinement of H2A.Z patterns, providing a means to reprogram chromatin state and to hone gene expression levels.
