Project description:The identity and developmental potential of a human cell is specified by its epigenome that is largely defined by patterns of chromatin modifications including histone acetylation. Here we report high-resolution genome-wide mapping of diacetylation of histone H3 at Lys 9 and Lys 14 in resting and activated human T cells by genome-wide mapping technique (GMAT). Our data show that high levels of the H3 acetylation are detected in gene-rich regions. The chromatin accessibility and gene expression of a genetic domain is correlated with hyperacetylation of promoters and other regulatory elements but not with generally elevated acetylation of the entire domain. Islands of acetylation are identified in the intergenic and transcribed regions. The locations of the 46,813 acetylation islands identified in this study aresignificantly correlated with conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) and many of them are colocalized with known regulatory elements in T cells. TCR signaling induces 4045 new acetylation loci that may mediate the global chromatin remodeling and gene activation. We propose that the acetylation islands are epigenetic marks that allow prediction of functional regulatory elements. Keywords: SAGE-ChIP Using GMAT, we determined the genome-wide distribution of K9/K14 diacetylated histone H3 in resting and activated human T cells.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z plays key roles in gene expression, DNA repair, and centromere function. H2A.Z deposition is controlled by SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes that catalyze the nucleosomal exchange of canonical H2A with H2A.Z. Here we report that acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56Ac) alters the substrate specificity of SWR-C, leading to promiscuous dimer exchange where either H2A.Z or H2A can be exchanged from nucleosomes. This result is confirmed in vivo, where genome-wide analysis demonstrates widespread decreases in H2A.Z levels in yeast mutants with hyperacetylated H3K56. Our work also suggests that a conserved SWR-C subunit may function as a M-bM-^@M-^\lockM-bM-^@M-^] that prevents removal of H2A.Z from nucleosomes. Our study identifies a histone modification that regulates a chromatin remodeling reaction and provides insights into how histone variants and nucleosome turnover can be controlled by chromatin regulators.

Project description:Nucleosome structure directly influences gene transcription. However, the function of each histone residue remains largely unknown. Here we profiled gene expression changes upon the mutation of individual residues of histone H3 and H4. Histone residues grouped by expression change similarity displayed overall structural relevance. This regulatory functional map of the core histones led to novel findings. First, the residues specific to each histone family tend to be more influential than those commonly found among different histones. Second, unlike histone acetylations, H3K4 trimethylation does not appear to be prerequisite for gene activation. Third, H3Q5 has been newly identified for its putative interactions with many chromatin regulators for transcription control. Lastly, the nucleosome lateral surface seems to play a key role through interactions with the surrounding DNA. Remarkably, we discovered a novel role for H3K56 in chromatin dynamics. The deletion of this residue, but not the alteration of acetylation states, caused a genome-wide decrease in nucleosome mobility and stabilized nucleosome positioning near transcription start and end sites. Occupying the DNA entry/exit site, H3K56 is thought to modulate nucleosome sliding along DNA. Taken together, genomics approaches such as microarray and deep sequencing prove valuable for mapping the function of histone residues. Microarray analysis was performed for 123 histone mutants and four wild-types as two reaplications of H3 and H4 of Saccharomyces ceravisiae.

Project description:To understand the molecular basis that supports the dynamic gene expression programs unique to T cells, we investigated the genomic landscape of activating histone modifications, including histone H3 K9/K14 diacetylation (H3K9acK14ac), H3 K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), and the repressive histone modification H3 K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in primary human T cells. We show that H3K9acK14ac and H3K4me3 are associated with active genes required for T cell function and development, whereas H3K27me3 is associated with silent genes that are involved in development in other cell types. Unexpectedly, we find that 3,330 gene promoters are associated with all of these histone modifications. The gene expression levels are correlated with both the absolute and relative levels of the activating H3K4me3 and the repressive H3K27me3 modifications. Our data reveal that rapidly inducible genes are associated with the H3 acetylation and H3K4me3 modifications, suggesting they assume a chromatin structure poised for activation. In addition, we identified a subpopulation of chromatin regions that are associated with high levels of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 but low levels of H3K9acK14ac. Therefore, these regions have a distinctive chromatin modification pattern and thus may represent a distinct class of chromatin domains. Keywords: SAGE-ChIP

Project description:Cirrhosis is a late stage of fibrosis that fatally impairs liver function. Unfortunately, genetic animal models mimicking human cirrhosis are lacking and the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we report the first murine genetic model recapitulating clinical features of cirrhosis, which are induced by hepatocyte-specific elimination of microspherule protein 1 (MCRS1), a member of the non-specific lethal (NSL) and INO80 chromatin modifier complexes. Deregulation of bile acid (BA) transporter expression, revealed by proteomic analysis of MCRS1-depleted mouse livers, with pronounced downregulation of the Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), causes BA accumulation in liver sinusoids. Genetic ablation of the BA receptor FXR in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) suppresses bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced fibrosis in mice. Moreover, in vitro experiments demonstrate that fibrotic marker expression is reduced in FXR-depleted HSCs cultured in conditioned medium containing high BAs from MCRS1-depleted hepatocytes. Additionally, hepatocytic MCRS1 overexpression increases their NTCP levels, and consequently protects mice against BDL-induced liver fibrosis. Deletion of a putative SANT domain in MCRS1, also revealed by protein sequence analysis and essential for histone H3 (H3) binding, disrupts H3/HDAC1 complex formation. This evicts MCRS1 and HDAC1 from their H3 anchoring sites and increases histone lysine acetylation of BA transporter genes, independently of the NSL or INO80 complexes. Taken together, our data reveal a previously unrecognized function of MCRS1 as a novel histone acetylation regulator that binds to H3, and recruits a novel chromatin-modifying complex that maintains gene expression homeostasis and liver health. Accordingly, loss of nuclear MCRS1 correlates with increased histone acetylation in human cirrhosis samples. Regulation of histone acetylation might thus be central to cirrhotic development.

Project description:We use ChIP-seq to discover the genome-wide sites of acetylation of lysine 56 of the histone H3 (H3K56), which is a target of three histone modifying enzymes with known roles in diabetes and insulin resistance, in human adipocytes derived from mesenchymal stem cells. Surprisingly, we find that a very large fraction of genes show some level of acetylation on H3K56, but the highest levels of acetylation are associated with genes previously reported to be involved in type 2 diabetes. Using computational methods, we propose that the transcription factor E2F4 may be involved in recruiting histone modifying enzymes to these sites. We confirm this prediction by measuring the binding of E2F4 using ChIP-seq. We also examine the binding of two other proteins using ChIP-Seq: HSF-1 and C/EBPM-NM-1M-BM- . HSF-1 is a master regulator of stress responses, and is a target of the same histone modifiers as H3K56. We find a high degree of overlap between HSF-1 binding and H3K56 acetylation even in cells that are not stressed. By contrast, C/EBPM-NM-1M-BM- , which is not known to be modified by these enzymes, shows much less overlap with the sites of H3K56 acetylation. Our results represent the first mapping of the regulatory code of human adipocytes. Examination of H3K56 acetylation sites and E2F4,C/EBPM-NM-1 and HSF-1 binding sites in human adipocytes.
