Project description:Chromatin, in addition to its purely structural functions, is considered a major regulatory system coordinating various genetic networks in eukaryotes. External and developmental signals can be transmitted through signaling cascades to chromatin remodeling complexes like SWI/SNF, which alter chromatin structure by moving, ejecting or restructuring nucleosomes. Genetic studies in Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are critical for proper plant development and growth. Especially, BRM, a catalytic subunit of the complex, was shown to directly regulate several genes with important functions in leaf development, flowering initiation, as well as gibberellin and abscisic acid signaling. In addition, SWI/SNF complexes were also shown to be involved in regulation of enhancer activity in animal cells and RNA-mediated transcriptional silencing in plants. In this study we performed transcript profiling of WT and brm-1 mutant using Agronomics microarrays for detecting changes in expression of both sense and antisense transcripts.

Project description:SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes control gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. However, the full subunit composition of SWI/SNF complexes in plants remains unclear. Here we show that BRAHMA Interacting Protein 1 (BRIP1) and BRIP2 in Arabidopsis thaliana are core subunits of plant SWI/SNF complexes. BRIP1 and 2 are two homolog proteins. brip1 brip2 double mutants exhibit developmental phenotypes and a transcriptome strikingly similar to those of BRAHMA (BRM) mutants. Genetic interaction tests indicated that BRIP1 and 2 act together with BRM to regulate gene expression. Furthermore, BRIP1 and 2 physically interact with BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes, and extensively co-localize with BRM at endogenous genes. Loss-of-brip1brip2 results in decreased BRM occupancy at almost all BRM target genes and substantially reduced subunits incorporation into the BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes. Together, our work identifies new core subunits of BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes in plants, and uncovers the essential role of these subunits in regulating the integrity (assembly) of SWI/SNF complexes in plants.

Project description:Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit machines that play vital roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. However, how SWI/SNF complexes recognize target loci is still not fully understood. Here, we show that Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing homologous proteins, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13, are core subunits of SWI/SNF complexes that are required for SWI/SNF genomic targeting. The three BRDs directly interact with multiple SWI/SNF subunits, including the BRAHMA (BRM) catalytic subunit. Phenotypic and transcriptome analysis of the brd1 brd2 brd13 triple mutants showed that the BRDs act in large redundancy to control developmental processes and gene expression that are also regulated by BRM. BRDs extensively co-localize with BRM on chromatin. brd1 brd2 brd13 mutation results in the reduced BRM protein levels and genome-wide targeting on chromatin. Finally, we demonstrate that the bromodomain of BRD2 is essential for genomic targeting of BRD2, highlighting the role of this reader domain in the recruitment of BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes to target sites in plants. SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are evolutionarily conserved and is confirmed to use the energy derived from hydrolysis of ATP to alter the density or the position of nucleosomes on the DNA or the composition of histone octamer. Bromodomain, an acetylated histone interaction module, was found in chromatin remodeling factors. During the 29 Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing protein, like GCN5 and GTE4/6, their function has been reported. Here, we reported three BRM-interacting bromodomain-containing protein, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13 are new core subunits of Arabidopsis SWI/SNF complexes. brd1/2/13 displayed a similar phenotype like brm, such as down-ward curled leaves, reduced fertility, shorter silique and root. Moreover, brm brd1/2/13 shows more serious phenotype just like brm-1. Y2H, Co-IP, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq assay reveal that BRDs interact with BRM at both protein and chromatin level. Future more, BRDs are required for BRM genome-wide occupancy and BRM might bind to chromatin via BRDs bromodomain by interacting with their BBC domain.

Project description:The SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling complexes is evolutionarily conserved and present in yeast, animals and plants. While the biological functions of plant SWI/SNF complexes have been studied in detail, their composition is still elusive. To clarify this picture we used protein extracts from Arabidopsis plants in vegetative phase of growth to perform a series of immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry experiments, using GFP-tagged BRM ATPase as a bait. The analysis of MS data showed that the dominant form of SWI/SNF complex present in these extracts has a specific subunit composition including ARP4 and 7, SWI3C, SWP73B and BRIP2, as well as three bromodomain containing subunits, BRD1, 2 and 13. This subunit composition and the lack of the core SWI/SNF subunit BSH (SNF5/INI1) both strongly resemble the characteristics of the specific subclass of mammalian SWI/SNF complexes referred to as non-canonical BAFs, indicating that homologues of these complexes also exist in plants. We next found that depletion of the all three BRDs severely affected the assembly of this form of BRM-associated SWI/SNF complex. However, while BRD1 and BRD2 were found sufficient to allow complex formation, BRD13 was only required under BRD1/2 deficiency. The analyses of IP/MS results using BRM-GFP in different brd mutant backgrounds as well as BRD1-GFP indicate that SWI/SNF assemblies containing only one BRD isoform, BRD1 or BRD2, do exist. Furthermore, our data indicate that BRD1/2 may be necessary for the incorporation of BRIP2 subunit into the complex. Together, our results shed new light on the structural and functional diversification of SWI/SNF complexes in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit machineries that establish and maintain chromatin accessibility and gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. However, how the remodeling activities of SWI/SNF complexes are regulated in eukaryotes remains elusive. B-cell lymphoma/leukemia protein 7A/B/C (BCL7A/B/C) have been reported as subunits of SWI/SNF complexes for decades in animals and recently in plants; however, the role of BCL7 subunits in SWI/SNF function remains undefined. Here, we identify a unique role for plant BCL7A and BCL7B homologous subunits in potentiating the genome-wide chromatin remodeling activities of BRAHMA-SWI/SNF complexes in plants. BCL7A/B require the catalytic ATPase BRAHMA (BRM) to assemble with the signature subunits of the BRM-SWI/SNF complexes and for genomic binding at a subset of target genes. Loss of BCL7A and BCL7B diminishes BRM-mediated genome-wide chromatin accessibility without changing the stability and genomic targeting of the BRM-SWI/SNF complex, highlighting the specialized role of BCL7A/B in regulating remodeling activity. We further show that BCL7A/B fine-tunes the remodeling activity of BRM-SWI/SNF complexes to generate accessible chromatin at the juvenility resetting region (JRR) of the microRNAs MIR156A/C for plant juvenile identity maintenance. In summary, our work uncovers the function of previously elusive SWI/SNF subunits in multicellular eukaryotes and provides insights into the mechanisms whereby plants memorize the juvenile identity through SWI/SNF-mediated control of chromatin accessibility.

Project description:The two catalytic subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex - Brg1 and Brm - have been often implicated as essential components of common biological processes, suggesting a functional redundancy between these two proteins. For instance, earlier works indicated that both proteins are required for the activation of the myogenic program. However, their mutually exclusive pattern of incorporation in SWI/SNF complexes with variable composition and functional heterogeneity predicts that Brg1- and Brm-based SWI/SNF complexes execute specific functions to coordinate gene expression in multistep programs, such as skeletal myogenesis. We detected a distinct expression profile of Brg1 and Brm during the myogenic program, with Brm being upregulated in differentiating myocytes. Genetic knockdown of either Brg1 or Brm in skeletal myoblasts, followed by gene expression analysis, revealed discrete functions during myogenic differentiation. While Brm is required for the exit from the cell cycle at the early stages of differentiation, by repressing CyclinD1 transcription, Brg1 is required for the activation of muscle gene transcription. Interestingly, at later stages of differentiation Brg1 and Brm cooperate to the activation of a cluster of common target genes. Thus, Brg1 and Brm appear to coordinate activation and repression of distinct subsets of genes during initial phase myogenesis, and converge to cooperatively activate the expression of muscle genes at later stages. C2C12 myoblasts treated with siBRM or siBRG1 or siSCR in growth medium (GM) and differentiated by medium replacemnte (DM ). Celles were collected at 18h and 48h from the onset of DM for RNA extraction and microarray analysis. Arrays were used to generate 6 data sets in duplicate.To address the question of which genes were regulated by BRM and/or BRG1 the fold changes in gene expression were calculated between Scrambled siRNA and the BRM or BRG1 siRNA. The experiments were repeated at 2 different time points (18 hours and 48 hours) .

Project description:The transcriptional coactivator ANGUSTIFOLIA 3 (AN3) stimulates cell proliferation during Arabidopsis leaf development, but the molecular mechanism is largely unknown. We show here that inducible nuclear localization of AN3 during initial leaf growth results in differential expression of important transcriptional regulators, including GROWTH REGULATING FACTORs (GRFs). Chromatin purification further revealed the presence of AN3 at the loci of GRF5, GRF6, CYTOKININ RESPONSE FACTOR 2 (CRF2), CONSTANS-LIKE 5 (COL5), HECATE 1 (HEC1), and ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATOR 4 (ARR4). Tandem affinity purification of protein complexes using AN3 as bait identified plant SWITCH/SUCROSE NONFERMENTING (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes formed around the ATPases BRAHMA (BRM) or SPLAYED (SYD). Moreover, SWI/SNF ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 73B (SWP73B) is recruited by AN3 to the promoter of GRF5, GRF3, COL5, and ARR4, and both SWP73B and BRM occupy the HEC1 promoter. Furthermore, we show that AN3 and BRM genetically interact. The data indicate that AN3 associates with chromatin remodelers to regulate transcription. In addition, modification of SWI3C expression levels increases leaf size, underlining the importance of chromatin dynamics for growth regulation. Our results place the SWI/SNF-AN3 module as a major player at the transition from cell proliferation to cell differentiation in a developing leaf. AN3-GR and wild-type (Col-0) plants were grown in vitro for 8 days and subsequently transferred to dexamethasone-containing medium for 8 hours. Developing leaves 1&2 of AN3-GR and wild-type plants were micro-dissected, and RNA was extracted. RNA from three biological repeats of dexamethasone-treated AN3-GR and dexamethasone-treated wild-type leaves was hybridized to Affymetrix ATH1 microarrays.

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex remodels chromatin in an ATP-dependent manner through the ATPase subunits BRG1 and BRM. Chromatin remodeling alters nucleosome structure to change gene expression, however aberrant remodeling and gene expression can result in cancer. The function and localization on chromatin of the SWI/SNF complex depends on the protein makeup of the complex. Here we report the protein-protein interactions of wild-type BRG1 or mutant BRG1 in which the HSA domain has been deleted (BRG1-HSA). We demonstrate the interaction of BRG1 with most SWI/SNF complex members and a failure of a number of these members to interact with BRG1-HSA. These results demonstrate that the HSA domain of BRG1 is a critical interaction platform for the correct formation of SWI/SNF remodeling complexes.

Project description:Studies in yeast and animals have revealed that histone deacetylases (HDACs) often act as components of multiprotein complexes, including chromatin remodeling complexes (CRCs). In our group, we found evidence for the interaction between Arabidopsis HD2C deacetylase and a BRM-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. Moreover, we revealed a novel function of HD2C as a regulator of the heat stress response. HD2C transcript levels were strongly induced in plants subjected to heat treatment and the expression of selected heat-responsive genes was up-regulated in heat-stressed hd2c mutant, suggesting that HD2C acts to down-regulate heat-activated genes. Microarray transcriptome analysis of brm and hd2c mutants identified a subset of commonly regulated heat-responsive genes, and the effect of the double brm hd2c mutation on the expression of these genes was non-additive. Moreover, heat treated hd2c, brm and brm hd2c mutants displayed similar rates of growth retardation. Taken together, our findings suggest that HD2C and BRM act in a common genetic pathway to regulate the Arabidopsis heat stress response. 3-week-old WT (Col-0), hd2c-3, brm-1 and brm-1 hd3c-3 plants were collected before and after 1 hour of heat (38°C) treatment. For each variant, three biological replicates with similar expression levels of selected marker genes, were chosen for microarray analysis.
