Purification of macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 Nucleosomes from Fetal Mouse Liver

ABSTRACT: MacroH2As core histone variants have a unique structure that includes C-terminal nonhistone domain. MacroH2As are highly conserved in vertebrates, and are thought to regulate gene expression. However the nature of genes regulated by macroH2As and the biological significance of macroH2As for the organism remain unclear. Our gene expression studies indicate that macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 work together to regulate specific genes. In these studies we examine the distributions of macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 nucleosomes to determine if they are localized to the genes that show altered expression in macroH2A knockout mouse liver.

MacroH2As are highly conserved in vertebrates, and are thought to regulate gene expression. However the nature of genes regulated by macroH2As and the biological significance of macroH2As for the organism remain unclear.

In these studies we examine the distributions of macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 nucleosomes to determine if they are localized to the genes that show altered expression in macroH2A knockout mouse liver. MacroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 nucleosomes prepared from ~ 50 fetal mouse livers were purified by thio-affinity chromatography. Five samples were sequenced: Thiopropyl Sepharose, Normal Liver - contains mononucleosomal DNA from macroH2A.1-containing nucleosomes; Activate Thiol Sepharose, Normal Liver - contains mononucleosomal DNA primarily from macroH2A.2-containing nucleosomes. Starting Material, Normal Liver - this is a reference samplefor the first two samples. It contains mononucleosomal DNA from bulk fetal liver chromatin. Activated Thiol Sepharose, Knockout Livers - this is a control sample that contains mononucleosomal DNA from non-macroH2A nucleosomes that contaminate the macroH2A.2 nucleosomes. This fraction was prepared from macroH2A1/2 double knockout fetal livers; Starting Material, Knockout Liver - this is a reference sample for the fourth sample. It contains mononucleosomal DNA from bulk chromatin prepared from macroH2A1/2 double knockout fetal livers.

Composite macroH2A/NRF-1 Nucleosomes Suppress Noise and Generate Robustness in Gene Expression

Project description:The histone variant macroH2A has been implicated in transcriptional repression, but the molecular mechanisms that contribute to global macroH2A-dependent genome regulation remain elusive. Using ChIP-seq coupled with transcriptional profiling in macroH2A knock-down cells (GSE53103) we demonstrate that singular macroH2A nucleosomes occupy transcription start sites of subsets of both expressed and repressed genes with opposing regulatory consequences. Specifically macroH2A nucleosomes mask repressor binding sites in expressed genes, but activator binding sites in repressed genes thus generating distinct chromatin landscapes limiting genetic or extracellular inductive signals. We show that composite nucleosomes containing macroH2A and NRF-1 are stably positioned on gene regulatory regions and can buffer the transcriptional noise typifying antiviral responses. In contrast, macroH2A nucleosomes without NRF-1 bind promoters weakly and mark genes with noisier gene expression patterns. Thus, the strategic position and stabilization of macroH2A nucleosomes in human promoters defines robust gene expression patterns.

The histone chaperone ANP32B regulates chromatin incorporation of the atypical human histone variant macroH2A

Project description:Eukaryotic chromatin structure is highly conserved, with the canonical histone proteins revealing only small sequence changes across species. Yet, all vertebrates exhibit three much larger histone H2A variants, macroH2A. A distinctive feature of these atypical histones is the globular macrodomain module, which can bind metabolites and is connected to the histone fold through a flexible linker. MacroH2A variants impact heterochromatin organization, transcription regulation and establish a barrier for cellular reprogramming. However, the mechanisms of how these large H2A variants are incorporated into chromatin and the identity of any chaperones required for histone deposition have remained elusive. Here, we developed a split-GFP-based cellular readout for histone incorporation and conducted a genome-wide mutagenesis screen in haploid human cells to identify proteins that regulate macroH2A dynamics. We identified and validated the histone chaperone ANP32B as a regulator of macroH2A chromatin deposition. ANP32B associates with macroH2A in cells and in vitro binds to histones with low nanomolar affinity. In vitro nucleosome assembly assays show that ANP32B stimulates deposition of macroH2A-H2B and not of H2A-H2B onto tetraso me. In cells, depletion of ANP32B in cells strongly affects global macroH2A deposition, revealing ANP32B as a macroH2A chaperone. Our study highlights the power of haploid cell functional genomics coupled with cellular imaging to identify factors that are required for chromatin plasticity and diversity.

MacroH2A histone variants maintain nuclear organization and heterochromatin architecture

Project description:Genetic loss-of-function studies in development, cancer and somatic cell reprogramming have suggested that the group of macroH2A histone variants might function through stabilizing the differentiated state by a yet unknown mechanism. Here, we present results demonstrating that macroH2A variants have a major function in maintaining nuclear organization and heterochromatin architecture. Specifically, we find that a substantial amount of macroH2A is associated with heterochromatic repeat sequences. We further identify macroH2A on sites of interstitial heterochromatin decorated by H3K9me3. Loss of macroH2A leads to major defects in nuclear organization including reduced nuclear circularity, disruption of nucleoli and a global loss of dense heterochromatin. Domains formed by repeat sequences when depleted of macroH2A are disorganized, expanded and fragmented and mildly re-expressed. On the molecular level we find that macroH2A is required for the interaction of repeat sequences with the nucleostructural protein Lamin B1. Taken together our results argue that a major function of macroH2A histone variants is to link nucleosome composition to higher order chromatin architecture.

Regulation of breast cancer-induced osteoclstogenesis by mH2A1.2 involving EZH2-mediated H3K27me3

Project description:In breast cancer metastasis soluble factors secreted by breast cancer cells trigger a cascade of events that stimulate osteoclast differentiation in the bone microenvironment. macroH2A is a unique histone variant with a C-terminal nonhistone domain and play a crucial role in modulating chromatin organization and gene transcription. To study the effect of macroH2A1.2, an isoform of macroH2A, on breast cancer-derived osteoclastogenesis, we performed gene expression array studies in wild type and mH2A1.2 knockout MDA-MB-468 cells .
