Cryptic transcription is the primary driving force for nucleosome instability in Spt16 mutant cells

ABSTRACT: FACT consists of two essential subunits Spt16 and Pob3 and is a histone chaperone. Depletion of Spt16 using a an spt16 mutant results in a global alteration of nucleosome positions as well as aberrant transcription. Here we show that the majority of nucleosomal changes at gene body upon Spt16 depletion are independent of gene activity, but correlates with cryptic gene transcription and are suppressed by inhibition of RNA Polymerase II activities. In addition, A small fraction of nucleosomal changes is resistant to Pol II inhibition, and Spt16 is enriched at this subgroup of nucleosomes. Moreover, nucleosomes surrounding the initiation sites of cryptic transcription in the spt16 mutant cells are more dynamic than other regions. These results support a model that Spt16 maintains nucleosome stability locally to inhibit the initiation from cryptic transcription, which that once initiated drives additional nucleosome loss upon Spt16 depletion.

Genome-wide Localization of Mot1, Spt16, and Nucleosomes in mot1, spt16, and mot1 spt16 cells

Project description:Mot1 is a conserved and essential Swi2/Snf2 ATPase that can remove TATA-binding protein (TBP) from DNA using ATP hydrolysis, and in so doing exerts global effects on transcription. Spt16 is also essential and functions globally in transcriptional regulation as a component of the FACT histone chaperone complex. Here we demonstrate that Mot1 and Spt16 regulate a largely overlapping set of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As expected, Mot1 was found to control TBP levels at co-regulated promoters. In contrast, Spt16 did not affect TBP recruitment. On a global scale, Spt16 was required for Mot1 promoter localization, and Mot1 also affected Spt16 localization to genes. Interestingly, we find that Mot1 has an unanticipated role in establishing or maintaining the occupancy and positioning of nucleosomes at the 5’ ends of genes. Spt16 has a broad role in regulating chromatin organization in gene bodies, including those nucleosomes affected by Mot1. These results suggest that the large-scale overlap in Mot1 and Spt16 function arises from a combination of both their unique and shared functions in transcription complex assembly and chromatin structure regulation.

Chd1 chromatin remodelers maintain nucleosome organization and repress cryptic transcription

Project description:Proper chromatin organization is essential for defining transcription units and maintaining genomic integrity in eukaryotes. Mutations affecting the chromatin structure can lead to increased cryptic transcription and genomic instability. In this study we found that deletion of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Chd1-type chromatin remodelers, hrp1 and hrp3, causes strong, genome-wide accumulation of antisense transcripts, while the amount of coding mRNA transcripts is mostly unaffected. Nucleosome mapping revealed a specific role for Chd1-remodelers in the positioning of nucleosomes in gene coding regions. While the arrangement of nucleosomes in promoter regions was similar to WT, nucleosome organization within coding regions was remarkably irregular in hrp1∆hrp3∆ strain. We extended our analysis to other mutations associated with enhanced cryptic transcription activity, such as set2∆, alp13∆, and FACT complex subunit pob3∆. While nucleosomes were severely depleted in the pob3∆ strain, nucleosome positioning was less affected. In sharp contrast, nucleosome organization in the alp13∆ and set2∆ strains was indistinguishable from WT. These data indicate multiple mechanisms in the repression of cryptic promoter activity in eukaryotic cells.

Expression data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains carrying the spt16-11 or the pob3-7 allele

Project description:The conserved FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) complex is a chromatin-reorganizing complex that promotes RNAPII transcription through chromatin templates by interacting with histones. It facilitates promoter activation by nucleosome eviction, and transcription elongation by nucleosome disruption and reassembly ahead and behind the RNAP. It also has a role in replication not fully understood yet. Genome-wide microarray analyses in spt16-11 and pob3-7 strains revealed a set of genes whose mRNA levels were altered with respect to the WT levels. These include 48 up-regulated and 80 down-regulated genes that are common to both strains. The up-regulated genes were longer and expressed at lower levels than the genome average whereas the down-regulated genes were more similar to the average of the genome.

Well-positioned nucleosomes punctuate polycistronic Pol II transcription units and flank silent VSG gene arrays in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei, a member of the Excavates supergroup, falls in an evolutionarily ancient branch of eukaryotes. We have mapped nucleosome positions in T. brucei and identified a map that differs from that of other eukaryotes in several important ways. Unlike in other eukaryotes, the RNA polymerase II initiation regions in T. brucei do not exhibit pronounced nucleosome depletion, and show little evidence for defined -1 and +1 nucleosomes. In contrast, a well-positioned nucleosome is present directly on the splice acceptor sites within the polycistronic transcription units. The RNA polyadenylation sites were depleted of nucleosomes, with a single well-positioned nucleosome present immediately downstream of the predicted sites. The regions flanking the silent Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) gene arrays showed extensive arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes, which may act to repress cryptic transcription initiation. The silent VSG genes themselves exhibited a less regular nucleosomal pattern in both bloodstream and procyclic form trypanosomes. The DNA replication origins, when present within arrays of silent VSG genes, displayed a defined nucleosomal organization compared with replication origins in other chromosomal core regions. Our results indicate that some organizational features of chromatin are evolutionarily ancient, and may already have been present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Phosphorylation of the FACT histone chaperone subunit SPT16 modulates Arabidopsis development and affects chromatin at RNA polymerase II transcriptional start sites

Project description:The heterodimeric histone chaperone FACT consisting of SSRP1 and SPT16 contributes to dynamic nucleosome rearrangements during various DNA-dependent processes including transcription. In search of post-translational modifications that may regulate the activity of FACT, SSRP1 and SPT16 were isolated from Arabidopsis cells and analysed by mass spectrometry. Four acetylated lysine residues could be mapped within the basic C-terminal region of SSRP1, while three phosphorylated serine/threonine residues were identified in the acidic C-terminal region of SPT16. Mutational analysis of the SSRP1 acetylation sites revealed only mild effects. However, phosphorylation of SPT16 that is catalysed by protein kinase CK2, modulates histone interactions. A non-phosphorylatable version of SPT16 displayed reduced histone binding and (unlike the phosphorylatable wild-type and phosphomimic versions) proved inactive in complementing the growth and developmental phenotypes of spt16 mutant plants. In plants expressing the non-phosphorylatable SPT16 version we detected at a subset of genes enrichment of histone H3 directly upstream of RNA polymerase II transcriptional start sites (TSSs) in a region that usually is nucleosome-depleted. This is associated with altered transcript levels, suggesting that some genes require phosphorylation of the SPT16 acidic region for establishing the correct nucleosome occupancy at the TSS as a prerequisite for proper transcription.

Expression profiling of nhp6 mutants and wildtype yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Project description:The basic unit of genome packaging is the nucleosome, and nucleosomes have long been proposed to restrict DNA accessibility both to damage and to transcription. However, nucleosome number in cells was considered fixed, and no condition was described where nucleosome number was reduced. We show here that mammalian cells lacking High Mobility Group Box 1 protein (HMGB1) contain a reduced amount of core, linker and variant histones, and a correspondingly reduced number of nucleosomes. Yeast nhp6 mutants lacking NHP6A and –B proteins, which are related to HMGB1, also have a reduced amount of histones and fewer nucleosomes. Nucleosome limitation in both mammalian and yeast cells increases the sensitivity of DNA to damage, increases transcription globally, and the relative expression of about 10% of genes. In yeast nhp6 cells the loss of more than one nucleosome in four does not affect the location of nucleosomes and their spacing, but nucleosomal occupancy. The decrease in nucleosomal occupancy is non-uniform, and our results can be modelled assuming that different nucleosomal sites compete for the available histones: sites with high affinity are almost always packaged into nucleosomes both in wt and nucleosome-depleted cells, whereas sites with low affinity are less frequently packaged in nucleosome-depleted cells. We suggest that by modulating the occupancy of nucleosomes histone availability may constitute a novel layer of epigenetic regulation. This microarray experiment forms part of a larger study of the effects of nucleosome depletion on transcription Using the Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array, yeast nhp6 mutants (lacking NHP6A and NHP6B proteins) were compared to wildtype yeast cells (3 biological replicates per condition)

Evidence that cryptic promoters occur extensively throughout the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome

Project description:Microarray analysis was used to identify all cryptic promoters in the S. cerevisiae genome that are activated in spt6 and spt16 mutants. These experiments showed that cryptic initiation is widespread, occurring in approximately 1,000 genes. We generated 2 microarray profiles from fluor-reversed replicates of wild-type and spt6-1004 or spt16-197 mutants. See Cheung et al., (2008) in revision.
