Project description:To study the epigenetic regulation during neuroectoderm specification process, we generated in-depth maps of nucleosome and histone modifications.We found that the depletion of nucleosome marked with H2A.Z in promoter regions contributes to the activation of key neuroectoderm related genes as providing open chromatin state for Pol II binding. Meanwhile, HMs undergo active remodeling with recruiting key transcription factors.So our study provided a full view on the transcriptional regulation of epigenome during neuroectoderm specification.

Project description:Histone acetylation and deposition of H2A.Z variant are integral aspects of active transcrip-tion. In Drosophila, the single DOMINO chromatin regulator complex is thought to combine both activities via an unknown mechanism. Here we show that alternative isoforms of the DOMINO nucleosome remodeling ATPase, DOM-A and DOM-B, directly specify two distinct multi-subunit complexes. Both complexes are necessary for transcriptional regulation but through different mechanisms. The DOM-B complex incorporates H2A.V (the fly ortholog of H2A.Z) genome-wide in an ATP-dependent manner, like the yeast SWR1 complex. The DOM-A complex, instead, functions as an ATP-independent histone acetyltransferase com-plex similar to the yeast NuA4, targeting lysine 12 of histone H4. Our work provides an in-structive example of how different evolutionary strategies lead to similar functional separation. In yeast and humans, nucleosome remodeling and histone acetyltransferase complexes orig-inate from gene duplication and paralog specification. Drosophila generates the same diversi-ty by alternative splicing of a single gene.

Project description:At genome-wide level, loss of OsChz1 causes mis-regulation of thousands of genes and broad alterations of nucleosome occupancy as well as reduction of H2A.Z-enrichment within chromatin along the gene body and at TSS. While OsChz1 associates with chromatin regions enriched of repressive histone marks (H3K27me3 and H4K4me2), its loss does not affect the genome landscape of DNA methylation.

Project description:We employed an MNase-Transcription Start Site Sequence Capture method to map and determine the accessibility of all nucleosomes, including those that contain H2A.Z, at high coverage for all human Pol II promoters. We uncovered unexpected features of nucleosomal organization in epithelial cells and following transition to a mesenchymal and malignant state. In contrast to the prevailing model, we observe many different types of active and inactive promoter structures that differ in their nucleosome organization and sensitivity to MNase digestion. Further, we found that H2A.Z has an important role in the assembly of repressed promoters into an inaccessible state. Finally, we uncovered a new promoter type in which a stable H2A.Z nucleosome occupies the TSS of an active promoter.

Project description:The mammalian circadian clock relies on the master genes CLOCK (CLK) and BMAL1 and drives rhythmic gene expression to regulate biological functions under circadian control. We recently uncovered a surprising disconnect between the rhythmic binding of CLK:BMAL1 on DNA and the transcription of its target genes, suggesting that they are regulated by as yet uncharacterized mechanisms. Here we show that rhythmic CLK:BMAL1 DNA binding promotes rhythmic chromatin opening. The underlying mechanisms include CLK:BMAL1 binding to nucleosomes and rhythmic chromatin modifications, including the incorporation of the histone variant H2A.Z. This rhythmic chromatin remodeling mediates the rhythmic binding of other transcription factors adjacent to CLK:BMAL1, suggesting that the activity and the tissue-specific expression of these other transcription factors contribute to the genome-wide CLK:BMAL1 heterogeneous transcriptional output. These data therefore indicate that the clock regulation of transcription relies on the rhythmic regulation of chromatin accessibility and suggest that the concept of pioneer function extends to acute gene regulation, well beyond the current confines of developmental/cell specification. Mouse liver nucleosome profile assayed by MNase-Seq over 6 time points of the 24h light:dark cycle (4 wild-type and 4 Bmal1-/- mice per time point). Illumina libraries containing a mononucleosome insert were sequenced using Ilumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:Nucleosomes are the primary unit of chromatin structure and inhibit key intracellular interactions which regulate how eukaryotic genetic information is read, including transcription factor (TF) binding to DNA. In theory, the sterics of nucleosome-DNA interactions could inhibit TF binding to all nucleosome-bound DNA. In reality, however, nucleosome inhibition of TF binding is variable both across a genome and even within a single nucleosome. Prior studies have demonstrated that nucleosome occupancy, nucleosome positioning, TF binding site (TFBS) affinity & TFBS location can each influence TF targeting in vivo, however, this work has been largely correlative and no study has dissected collective from individual contributions of these important variables. Therefore, to address this deficiency, we have mapped genome-wide changes in chromatin structure and TF binding following experimental nucleosome depletion. Heuristic modeling of results confirmed that chromatin specification of TF targeting is a multivariate, context-specific, process, with most informative features originating from additive interactions between cis and trans variables. Additionally, we found compelling evidence that nucleosomes serve to inhibit intra-genic TF binding, as evidenced by an increasing number of sub-optimal TFBS occupied following nucleosome depletion. The majority of these conditional loci were located within open reading frames and parallel transcriptome analysis revealed their occurrence was linked to generation of intragenic cryptic transcripts. Together results support the idea that chromatin structure has evolved to coordinate specification of regulatory factor targeting & gene expression. Findings have functional relevance to emerging datasets on genetic and epigenetic variation in human disease states.

Project description:Plants are sessile organisms and therefore must sense and respond to changes of their surrounding conditions such as ambient temperature, which vary diurnally and seasonally. It is not yet clear how plants sense temperature and integrate this information into their development. We have previously shown that H2A.Z-nucleosomes are evicted in response to warmer temperatures. It is not clear however, whether the link between transcriptional responsiveness and changes in H2A.Z binding in context of temperature shifts is a global trend that can be seen throughout the genome, or the phenomenon is specific to a specialised set of temperature-responsive genes. In addition to the role of H2A.Z-nucleosome dynamics in the transcriptional response to temperature, it was shown that genes strongly misregulated in the h2a.z mutant are enriched for gene categories involved in response to multiple environmental cues. This suggests that H2A.Z could be implicated in the transcriptional response to various environmental inputs, raising the question: What brings the specificity of H2A.Z dynamics in response to temperature? To address this question we have profiled H2A.Z-nucleosome occupancy genome wide (using ChIP-seq) during a time course after temperature variation and compared its dynamics to transcriptional changes. We identified a fast, targeted and transient eviction of H2A.Z associated with transcriptional activation in response to temperature for a few hundreds genes. This eviction is associated with a reduction of the stability of the nucleosome. Moreover the genes with a fast H2A.Z eviction were strongly enriched in heat shock elements in their promoter and we observed a strong association between HSF1 binding and H2AZ eviction at warm temperature. These results highlight the importance of the interplay between transcription factors and chromatin to allow a controlled and dynamics response to temperature.

Project description:Genetic models suggested that SMARCA5 was required for DNA templated events including transcription, DNA replication and DNA repair. We engineered a degron tag into the endogenous alleles of SMARCA5, a catalytic component of the imitation switch (ISWI) complexes, in three different human cell lines to define the effects of rapid degradation of this key regulator. Degradation of SMARCA5 was associated with a rapid increase in global nucleosome repeat length, which may allow greater chromatin compaction. However, there were few changes in nascent transcription within the first 6hr of degradation. Nevertheless, we demonstrated a requirement for SMARCA5 to control nucleosome repeat length at G1/S and during the S phase. SMARCA5 co-localized with CTCF and H2A.Z, and we found a rapid loss of CTCF DNA binding and disruption of nucleosomal phasing around CTCF binding sites. This spatiotemporal analysis indicates that SMARCA5 is continuously required for maintaining nucleosomal spacing.

Project description:Heterochromatin plays a key role in gene repression, maintaining genome integrity and chromosome segregation. Fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, utilizes conserved components to direct heterochromatin formation using siRNA generated by RNA interference (RNAi) to guide a histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase to cognate chromatin. To identify compounds that inhibit heterochromatin formation, an in vivo phenotypic screen for loss of silencing was performed. A tester strain harbouring a silent dominant selectable kanMX reporter gene within fission yeast centromeric heterochromatin was used to screen a diverse library of chemicals. HMS-I1 and HMS-I2 were identified as compounds that reproducibly increased G418 resistance due to loss of kanMX silencing, and decreased the level of repressive H3K9 methylation on centromeric repeats. The pattern of changes induced by HMS-I1 and HMS-I2 were consistent with inhibition of the histone deacetylases (HDACs) Clr3 and/or Sir2. Chemical-genetic interactions and expression profiling indicated that both HMS-I1 and HMS-I2 affect the activity of the Clr3-containing Snf2/HDAC repressor complex (SHREC). Exposure to HMS-I1 was also found to alleviate silencing of reporter genes in an Arabidopsis transgenic plant line and a mouse cell line. HMS-I2 also disrupted reporter gene silencing in Arabidopsis. In vitro assays indicate that HMS-I1 impairs the activity of human HDAC6 and HDAC10. As HMS-I1 and HMS-I2 bear no resemblance to known inhibitors of chromatin-based activities they represent potentially novel and valuable reagents for experimental and therapeutic purposes. Our findings highlight the use of in vivo chemical screening conducted in fission yeast to identify compounds that disrupt heterochromatin across plant, fungi and animal kingdoms. 16 RNA samples: 2 replicates of WT untreated (vehicle DMSO) (KE1-A, KE2-A), HMS-I1 treated (KE1-B, KE2-B), HMS-I2 treated (KE1-C, KE2-C), and 2 additional replicates of WT (KE05_wt_1, KE10_wt_2), 4 replicates of clr2M-bM-^HM-^F (KE01_2118_1, KE06_2118_2, KE03_0080_1, KE08_0080_2) and mit1M-bM-^HM-^F (KE02_1295_1, KE07_1295_2, KE04_1278_1, KE09_1278_2).
