Variable chromatin secondary structures in live cells revealed by radiation-induced spatially correlated DNA cleavage mapping [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Chromatin structure at the length scale encompassing nucleosome-nucleosome interactions is thought to play a crucial role in regulating transcription and access to DNA. However, this chromatin secondary structure remains poorly understood compared to the primary structure of single nucleosomes or the tertiary structure of long-range looping interactions. Here we report the first genome-wide map of chromatin conformation in human cells at the 1-3 nucleosome (50-500 bp) scale, obtained using ionizing radiation-induced spatially correlated cleavage of DNA with sequencing (RICC-seq). Unbiased analysis of RICC-seq DNA fragments in 1 Mb windows reveals a similar fragment length profile across the genome, with regional enrichment of characteristic fragments spanning tri-nucleosome units in heterochromatin. We observe differences in nucleosome-nucleosome contacts among euchromatin, H3K27me3-marked heterochromatin, and H3k9me3-marked heterochromatin. After calibrating RICC-seq signal to 3D distances, we show that compact 2-start helical fiber structures with stacked alternating nucleosomes are consistent with RICC-seq fragmentation patterns from H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin, while non-compact zig-zags and other extended structures are preferred in open chromatin. Our data support a model of heterochromatin condensation in native, intact nuclei consistent with longitudinal compaction of two-start helical fibers.

The Mi-2 homolog, Mit1, actively positions nucleosomes within heterochromatic domains to suppress transcription

Project description:Nucleosome positioning is both active and passive and regulates access to the genome for replication, transcription and repair. Here we report that Mit1, a subunit of the fission yeast SHREC complex similar to Mi-2/NuRD, regulates transcription at regions of heterochromatin by positioning nucleosomes to preclude access to RNA Polymerase II. Purified Mit1 is a nucleosome remodeling factor capable of mobilizing histone octamers on short DNA fragments and requires ATP hydrolysis and chromatin tethering domains to remodel nucleosomes and silence transcription. We propose that SHREC is recruited to heterochromatin to mobilize nucleosomes onto unfavorable positions to prevent spurious transcription within heterochromatin. M-bM-^@M-^C RNA samples were prepared from biological duplicates of WT and mit1M-bM-^HM-^F::NatMX6 fission yeast to compare transcript levels using the Affymetrix GeneChip S.pombe Tiling 1.0FR microarray.

Nucleosome recognition and DNA distortion by the Chd1 remodeler revealed at 2.6 Å resolution

Project description:Chromatin remodelers are ATP-dependent enzymes that reorganize nucleosomes within all eukaryotic genomes. The Chd1 remodeler specializes in shifting nucleosomes into evenly spaced arrays, a defining characteristic of chromatin in gene bodies that blocks spurious transcription initiation. Linked to some forms of autism and commonly mutated in prostate cancer, Chd1 is essential for maintaining pluripotency in stem cells. Here we report a complex of yeast Chd1 bound to a nucleosome in a nucleotide-free state, determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to 2.6 Å resolution. The structure shows a bulge of the DNA tracking strand where the ATPase motor engages the nucleosome, consistent with an initial stage in DNA translocation. Unlike other remodeler-nucleosome complexes, nucleosomal DNA compensates for the remodeler-induced bulge with a bulge of the complementary DNA strand one helical turn downstream from the ATPase motor. Unexpectedly, the structure also reveals an N-terminal binding motif, called ChEx, which binds on the exit-side acidic patch of the nucleosome. The ChEx motif can displace a LANA-based peptide from the acidic patch, which suggests a means by which Chd1 remodelers may block competing chromatin remodelers from acting on the opposite side of the nucleosome.

Examining the effect of the linker DNA length on protein binding to di-nucleosomes decorated with H3K9me3 and H3K27me3

Project description:Characteristic features of chromatin states are not limited to particular epigenetic modifications but include other regulatory cues, such as linker DNA length, typically ranging from between 35-55 bp (Valouev et al, 2011; Voong et al., 2016, Cell) to over 200 bp in nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) found at active enhancers and promoters (Schones et al, 2008; Hansen He et al, 2010). To investigate whether and how the nucleosome linker DNA affects chromatin recognition by nuclear proteins we performed a set of affinity purifications using di-nucleosomes incorporating different DNA linkers. This dataset contains experiments aimed to probe how the linker DNA length affects protein binding to di-nucleosomes decorated with H3K9me3 or H3K27me3. The following di-nucleosomes were used in affinity pull-down purifications with HeLa nuclear extract followed by label-free MS: 1. unmod. H3, 35 bp linker 2. unmod. H3, 40 bp linker 3. unmod. H3, 45 bp linker 4. unmod. H3, 50 bp linker 5. unmod. H3, 55 bp linker 6. H3K9me3, 35 bp linker 7. H3K9me3, 40 bp linker 8. H3K9me3, 45 bp linker 9. H3K9me3 50 bp linker 10. H3K9me3, 55 bp linker 11. H3K27me3, 35 bp linker 12. H3K27me3, 40 bp linker 13. H3K27me3, 45 bp linker 14. H3K27me3, 50 bp linker 15. H3K27me3, 55 bp linker

SMARCAD1 and TOPBP1 contribute to heterochromatin maintenance at the transition from the 2C-like to the pluripotent state

Project description:Chromocenters are established after the 2-cell (2C) stage during mouse embryonic development, but the factors that mediate chromocenter formation remain largely unknown. To identify regulators of 2C heterochromatin establishment, we generated an inducible system to convert embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to 2C-like cells. This conversion is marked by a global reorganization and dispersion of H3K9me3-heterochromatin foci, which are then reversibly formed upon re-entry into pluripotency. Profiling the chromatin-bound proteome (chromatome) by genome capture of ESCs transitioning to 2C-like cells, we uncover chromatin regulators involved in de novo heterochromatin formation. We identified TOPBP1 and investigated its binding partner SMARCAD1. SMARCAD1 and TOPBP1 associate with H3K9me3-heterochromatin in ESCs. Interestingly, the nuclear localization of SMARCAD1 is lost in 2C-like cells. SMARCAD1 or TOPBP1 depletion in mouse embryos lead to developmental arrest, reduction of H3K9me3 and remodeling of heterochromatin foci. Collectively, our findings contribute to comprehending the maintenance of chromocenters during early development.

Dynamics of chromatin maturation after genome replication

Project description:Replication of the eukaryotic genome occurs in the context of chromatin, a nucleoprotein packaging state consisting of repeating nucleosomes. Chromatin is commonly thought to carry epigenetic information from one generation to the next, although it is unclear how such information survives the disruptions of nucleosomal architecture that occur during genomic replication. Here, we sought to directly measure a key aspect of chromatin structure dynamics during replication â how rapidly nucleosome positions are established on the newly-replicated daughter genomes. By isolating newly-synthesized DNA marked with the nucleotide analogue EdU, we characterize nucleosome positions on both daughter genomes of budding yeast during a time course of chromatin maturation. We find that nucleosomes rapidly adopt their mid log positions at highly-transcribed genes, and that this process was impaired upon treatment with the transcription inhibitor thiolutin, consistent with a role for transcription in positioning nucleosomes in vivo. Additionally, experiments in the Hir1Î background reveal a role for HIR in nucleosome spacing. Using strand-specific EdU libraries, we characterize nucleosome positions on the leading and lagging strand daughter genomes, uncovering differences in chromatin maturation dynamics between the two daughter genomes at hundreds of genes. Our data define the maturation dynamics of newly-replicated chromatin, and support a role for transcription in sculpting the chromatin template. We have mapped changes in nucleosome positions on newly replicated DNA in a timecourse after genome replication. We have used Micrococcal Nuclease footprinting of cross linked chromatin to determine nucleosome positions and EdU (ethylene deoxy uridine) to mark nascent DNA strands. EdU incorporated into nascent DNA strands was biotinylated with Click chemistry and nascent DNA strand fragments were subsequently isolated using Streptavidin coated magnetic beads.

DNMT3B PWWP mutations cause hypermethylation of heterochromatin (RNA-seq)

Project description:The correct establishment of DNA methylation patterns is vital for mammalian development and is achieved by the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B. DNMT3B localises to H3K36me3 at actively transcribing gene bodies through its PWWP domain. It also functions at heterochromatin through an unknown recruitment mechanism. Here we find that knockout of DNMT3B causes losses of methylation predominantly at H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin and that DNMT3B PWWP domain mutations or deletion result in striking increases of methylation in H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin. Removal of the N-terminal region of DNMT3B affects its ability to methylate H3K9me3-marked regions. This region of DNMT3B directly interacts with HP1-alpha and facilitates the bridging of DNMT3B with H3K9me3-marked nucleosomes in vitro. Our results suggest that DNMT3B is recruited to H3K9me3 marked heterochromatin in a PWWP-independent manner that is facilitated by the protein's N-terminus through an interaction with a key heterochromatin protein. More generally, we suggest that DNMT3B plays a role in DNA methylation homeostasis at heterochromatin, a process which is disrupted in cancer, aging and Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability and Facial Anomalies (ICF) syndrome.
