Genetic complementation analysis revealed distinct contributions of the N-terminal tail of H2A.Z to epigenetic regulations

ABSTRACT: The histone variant H2A.Z is one of the most evolutionally conserved histone variants. In vertebrates, two isoforms, H2A.Z.1 and H2A.Z.2, are identified and are involved in multiple epigenetic regulations. However, the role of H2A.Z in epigenetic regulations largely remains unknown especially in vertebrate. Previously, we derived tetracycline-inducible H2A.Z isofmrs double knockout (DKO) cells by using DT40 cells. With this cell, we showed that H2A.Z DKO leads to defects in mitotic progression and gene expression. To elucidate the function of H2A.Z further, we established genetic complementation system and confirmed that introducing exogenous H2A.Z complemented phenotypes of H2A.Z DKO cells. Given that acetylation of the N-terminal tail of H2A.Z reportedly contributes to significant roles in H2A.Z functions, we introduced two types of H2A.Z mutants, non-acetylable H2A.Z (5KR-H2A.Z) and chimeric H2A.Z in which its N-terminal tail is replaced with that of canonical H2A (H2A-H2A.Z), into H2A.Z DKO cells. These H2A.Z mutants complemented defects in mitotic progression. However, significant transcriptional dysregulation was observed in H2A.Z DKO cells stably expressing 5KR-H2A.Z and H2A-H2A.Z. These results suggest that the core domain and the N-terminal tail of the vertebrate H2A.Z contribute individually to mitotic progression and transcription regulation, respectively.

A cancer-associated mutation in H2A.Z decreases nucleosome stability and impairs mitotic progression

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is one of the most evolutionally conserved histone variants. Here, we identified a cancer-associated mutation in H2A.Z and evaluate the mutation. Structural and biochemical in vitro analyses showed that the H2A.Z mutation destabilizes nucleosome containing it. Then we applied the genetic complementation analysis to analyze cellular functions of the H2A.Z mutant. Although the H2A.Z mutant is deposited into nucleosome and rescues the lethality of H2A.Z DKO cells, the mutant does not complement mitotic defects of H2A.Z DKO cells, suggesting that stability of H2A.Z nucleosome is required for proper mitotic progression. Importantly, the H2A.Z mutant led to mitotic defects even in the presence of a larger pool of wild-type H2A.Z. Thus, it is implicated that the cancer-associated mutation appeared in an allele of the H2A.Z isoform genes would be involved in carcinogenesis through causing mitotic defects.

Recognition of inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome by Swc2 is a major determinant for unidirectional H2A.Z exchange

Project description:The site-specific chromatin incorporation of eukaryotic histone variant H2A.Z is driven by the multi-component chromatin remodeling complex SWR1/SRCAP/ p400. The budding yeast SWR1 complex replaces the H2A-H2B dimer in the canonical nucleosome with the H2A.Z-H2B dimer, but the mechanism governing the directionality of H2A-to-H2A.Z exchange remains elusive. Here, we use single-molecule force spectroscopy to dissect the disassembly/ reassembly of H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome. We find that the N-terminal 1-135 residues of yeast SWR1-complex-protein-2 (previously termed Swc2-Z) facilitate the disassembly of nucleosomes containing H2A but not H2A.Z. The Swc2-mediated nucleosome disassembly/reassembly requires the inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome, whose instability is conferred by three H2A α2-helix residues Gly47, Pro49 and Ile63 as they selectively weaken the structural rigidity of H2A-H2B dimer. It also requires Swc2-ZN (residues 1-37) that directly anchors to H2A-nucleosome and functions in the SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro and yeast H2A.Z deposition in vivo. Our findings providecrucial insights into how SWR1 complex discriminates between the H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome, establishing a simple paradigm for the governace of unidirectional H2A.Z exchange.

Replacement of Arabidopsis H2A.Z with human H2A.Z orthologs reveals extensive functional conservation and limited importance of the N-terminal tail sequence for Arabidopsis development (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:To investigate the functional conservation of H2A.Z histones during eukaryotic evolution we transformed h2a.z deficient plants with three human H2A.Z proteins to assess their ability to rescue the mutant defects. We discovered that human H2A.Z.1 and H2A.Z.2.1 fully complement the phenotypic abnormalities of h2a.z plants even though Arabidopsis and human H2A.Z N-terminal tail sequences are divergent, while the brain-specific splice variant H2A.Z.2.2 has a dominant-negative effect in wild-type plants. Furthermore, H2A.Z.1 almost completely re-establishes normal H2A.Z chromatin occupancy in h2a.z plants and restores the expression of more than 84 % of misexpressed genes. Finally, our hypothesis that the N-terminal tail of Arabidopsis H2A.Z is not crucial for its overall function was supported by the ability of N-terminal end truncations of Arabidopsis HTA11 to largely rescue the defects of h2a.z mutants.

The Histone Variant H2A.Z C-terminal Domain Has Locus- Specific Differential Effects on H2A.Z Occupancy and Nucleosome Localization

Project description:The incorporation of histone variant H2A.Z, a conserved H2A variant, into nucleosomes creates specialized chromatin domains that regulate DNA-templated processes, including transcription. H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes may poise gene regulatory regions for transcription, but mechanistic details are lacking. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the diverging H2A.Z C-terminus is thought to provide the H2A.Z exclusive functions. To elucidate the roles of this H2A.Z C-terminus genome wide, we made use of derivatives where the C-terminus was replaced with the corresponding region of H2A (ZA protein), or the H2A region plus a transcriptional activating peptide, with the idea of regenerating the H2A.Z-dependent regulation globally. An assessment of the genome-wide distribution of these H2A.Z derivatives shows that the H2A.Z C-terminal region is crucial for both maintaining the occupation level of H2A.Z and the proper positioning of the targeted nucleosomes. Interestingly, the specific contribution on incorporation efficiency vs nucleosome positioning varies enormously, depending on loci analyzed. For the ZA protein, positioning changes most importantly near origins of replication and snoRNA gene promoters, while incorporation is affected on all other sites. Furthermore, the role of H2A.Z in global transcription regulation also depends on its C-terminal region. Remarkably however, the latter mostly involves genes without a H2A.Z nucleosome in the promoter.

Stepwise histone replacement by SWR1 requires dual activation with histone H2A.Z and canonical nucleosome

Project description:Histone variant H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes are incorporated at most eukaryotic promoters. This incorporation is mediated by the conserved SWR1 complex, which replaces histone H2A in canonical nucleosomes with H2A.Z in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we show that promoter-proximal nucleosomes are highly heterogeneous for H2A.Z in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with substantial representation of nucleosomes containing one, two, or no H2A.Z molecules. SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro occurs in a stepwise and unidirectional fashion, one H2A.Z-H2B dimer at a time, producing heterotypic nucleosomes as intermediates and homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes as end products. The ATPase activity of SWR1 is specifically stimulated by H2A-containing nucleosomes without ensuing histone H2A eviction. Remarkably, further addition of free H2A.Z-H2B dimer leads to hyperstimulation of ATPase activity, eviction of nucleosomal H2A-H2B and deposition of H2A.Z-H2B. These results suggest that the combination of H2A-containing nucleosome and free H2A.Z-H2B dimer acting as both effector and substrate for SWR1 governs the specificity and outcome of the replacement reaction. Total nucleosomes from MNase-treated nuclear extracts were fractionated by sequential immunoprecipitation into homotypic H2A/H2A (AA), heterotypic H2A/H2A.Z (AZ), and homotypic H2A.Z/H2A.Z (ZZ) nucleosomes.

Effect of modified H2A.Z protein to gene expression in DT40 cells.

Project description:H2A.Z-nucleosomes participate in both euchromatin and heterochromatin and it has proven difficult to reveal how the disparate roles and stability features imparted by H2A.Z are connected. Using an in situ assay of nucleosome stability in nuclei of DT40 cells expressing engineered forms of the variant we show that H2A.Z is released from nucleosomes of peripheral heterochromatin at unusually high salt concentrations, compared to cells expressing C-terminally truncated H2A.Z. Binding of the tail-peptide (C9) to reconstituted nucleosomes, DNA and the nuclear lamina were detected. Upon treatment of HeLa nuclei with C9, the H2A.Z-nucleosomes assumed canonical stability, the peripheral heterochromatin became dispersed and overall nuclease sensitivity increased, recapitulating tail-dependent differences in DT40. When introduced into live cells, C9 elicited chromatin reorganization and transcriptional down-regulation of ~600 genes. Thus, large-scale epigenetic modulation can be achieved by targeting or making advantage of molecular interactions involving the C-terminal tail of H2A.Z.
