Chromatin landscape of Leishmania major

ABSTRACT: We sought to identify nuclease-hypersensitive sites and to quantify nucleosome positions in an effort to identify cis-regulatory elements in the protozoan parasite Leishmania major. Using micrococcal nuclease digestion of chromatin (MNAse-seq), we report that few nuclease hypersensitive sites are present within the presumed regions of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription initiation, and that similar numbers of nuclease hypersensitive sites were found in control datasets. However, utilizing an independent approach (FAIRE), we observe that a heterogeneous population of nuclease hypersensitive sites are present in and around these regions, and that nucleosomes within these regions are susceptible to MNAse overdigestion.

Hypersensitive Nucleosomes in Chromatin Are Intrinsic to the Structure of Active, Tissue-Specific Enhancers [MNase-Seq]

Project description:In higher eukaryotes, enhancers and promoters share many properties, including binding of transcription factors, existing in open chromatin, and bidirectional transcription. Yet the structural features that distinguish enhancers and promoters are unclear. Genome-wide micrococcal nuclease (MNase) studies previously interpreted MNase hypersensitivity to indicate that active enhancers and promoters are nucleosome-free, yet other studies found histone variants and post-translational modifications at active enhancers. We find that prior MNase genomic studies have an overdigestion bias and that low-level MNase digestion, coupled with mapping core histones, reveals two classes of MNase-hypersensitive sites: at active promoters, which are nucleosome depleted, and at tissue-specific enhancers, which retain core histones and co-bound transcription factors substantially more than promoters. Hypersensitivity of active enhancer nucleosomes may reflect their preferential exposure in chromatin and can be maintained by pioneer transcription factors such as FoxA. These findings unveil fundamental differences in the chromatin structure of active enhancers and promoters.

Quantitative MNase-seq accurately maps nucleosome occupancy levels

Project description:Chromatin mapping using micrococcal nuclease (MNase) has been the standard tool for mapping nucleosomes for >40 years. When coupled with DNA sequencing, MNase-seq can provide base-pair-resolution nucleosome maps. However, determining nucleosome occupancy using MNase-seq has been hampered by its aggressive endo-/exo-nuclease activities, whereby cleavages within linker regions produce oligo- and mono-nucleosomes whereas cleavages within nucleosomes destroy them. Here we introduce a theoretical framework for predicting nucleosome occupancies and an experimental protocol with appropriate spike-in normalization that confirms our theory and provides accurate occupancy levels over an MNase digestion time-course. As expected, DNaseI hypersensitive sites and transcription units are digested by MNase at elevated rates, and the apparent deficiency of nucleosomes at 3’ ends of Drosophila genes is an artifact of MNase preference for AT-rich DNA. Surprisingly, we observed no overall differences between Drosophila euchromatin and heterochromatin, which implies that heterochromatin compaction does not render nucleosomal DNA less accessible than euchromatin.

Archival chromatin sequencing in formalin-fixed mouse specimens [FAIRE and Mnase]

Project description:Formalin induces inter- and intra-molecular crosslinks within exposed cells. This cross-linking can be exploited to characterise chromatin state as in the FAIRE (Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) and MNase (micrococcal nuclease) assays. Here, we optimised the FAIRE and MNase assays for application upon heavily-fixed tissues as is typically found in historical formalin-preserved museum specimens. We demonstrate these assays in formalin-fixed mouse specimens and compare the chromatin signatures to specimen-matched fresh tissues. We found that heavy formalin fixation modulates rather than eliminates signatures of differential chromatin accessibility and that these chromatin profiles are reproducible, tissue-specific and sex-specific in vertebrate specimens.

Effects of formalin-fixation on FAIRE-Seq and MNase-Seq signatures in yeast

Project description:Formalin induces inter- and intra-molecular crosslinks within exposed cells. This cross-linking can be exploited to characterise chromatin state as in the FAIRE (Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) and MNase (micrococcal nuclease) assays. Our team aims to optimise these assays for application in museum preserved formalin-exposed specimens. To do so, we first sought to understand the effect of prolonged formalin fixation on the read alignment signatures resulting from FAIRE and MNase treatment. Here we cultured yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) under normal and heat-shock conditions then fixed the cells with formalin for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours. We found that heavy formalin fixation modulates rather than eliminates signatures of differential chromatin accessibility and enables semi-quantitative estimates of relative gene expression in this yeast model.
