Project description:The centromere is defined by the presence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENH3. Establishment and maintenance of the centromeric chromatin (CEN chromatin) is determined by poorly understood epigenetic mechanisms. Interestingly, CEN chromatin in several eukaryotes showed euchromatic characteristics although being embedded within pericentromeric heterochromatin. Specifically, H3K4me2 appeared to be a unique histone modification mark associated with animal centromeres. We developed a genomic tiling array for four fully sequenced rice centromeres. A ChIP-chip approach was used to study the patterns of several euchromatic histone modification marks, including H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, and H3K4K9a, associated with rice centromeres. We demonstrate that the CENH3 subdomains within the four centromeres are depleted with the four histone H3 marks. The vast majority of the four histone marks were associated with the genes located in the H3 subdomains within the centromeric cores. Genes in the centromeres showed similar histone modification patterns as those located outside of the centromeres. Thus, the euchromatic characteristics of rice CEN chromatin are trademarks of the transcribed sequences embedded in the H3 subdomains of the centromeres. We propose that the constitutively expressed genes located in rice centromeres may provide a barrier for loading of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains. The separation of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains is favorable for the three dimensional structure and its associated function of rice centromeres. We developed a genomic tiling array that covers four rice centromeres (Cen4, Cen5, Cen7, and Cen8) using the NimbleGen 3x720K array based on the NimbleGen HD2 platform. We used four antibodies (H3K4me3, H3K4me2, H3K36me3, H3K4K9ac) to perform ChIP-chip experiments. ChIP was conducted using leaf tissue from two-week old rice seedlings. We have 3 biological replicates for each antibody and 6 technological replicates of hybridization with position exchange on the array. Thus, each histone modification included 18 hybridization experiments.

Project description:We investigated genome wide distribution of H3K36me2, H3K36me3 and H3K27me3 in the presence and absence of MMSET protein. MMSET overexpression in t(4;14)+ myeloma leads to global loss redistribution of H3K36me2 and genome-wide loss of H3K27 methylation. Despite the gloal decrease in H3K27me3, specific regions of the genome show enhanced H3K27me3 enrichment through increased recruitment of EZH2 methyltransferase ChIP-seq for H3K36me2, H3K36me3 and H3K27me3 in two cell types

Project description:Binding of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and chromatin composition of the inactive X (Xi) before, during and after X chromosome inactivation reveal that spreading is driven by a combination of Xi-specific strong and moderate Ezh2 sites. Sequence context of these sites shows a moderate enrichment of SINEs and simple repeats. The general pattern of Ezh2 and H3K27me3 distribution over the chromosome reflect a graded concentration originating from strong Ezh2 sites, around which moderate sites are clustered, suggesting a hierarchy of Ezh2 sites govern spreading. ChIP-seq of Ezh2 and H3K27me3 as well as the three active marks H3K4me3, H3K36me3 and RNA-POLII-serine5 phosphorylation (RNA-polII-S5P) in female cell lines: undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells (d0), differentiating ES cells (d7) and a transformed embryonic fibroblast cell line (MEF).

Project description:In Drosophila, X chromosome dosage compensation requires the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex, which associates with actively transcribed genes on the single male X chromosome to upregulate transcription approximately 2-fold. We found that on the male X chromosome, or when MSL complex is ectopically localized to an autosome, histone H3K36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) is a strong predictor of MSL binding. We isolated mutants lacking Set2, the H3K36me3 methyltransferase, and found that Set2 is an essential gene in both sexes of Drosophila. In set2 mutant males, MSL complex maintains X specificity but exhibits reduced binding to target genes. Furthermore, recombinant MSL3 protein preferentially binds nucleosomes marked by H3K36me3 in vitro. Our results support a model in which MSL complex uses high-affinity sites to initially recognize the X chromosome and then associates with many of its targets through sequence-independent features of transcribed genes. Keywords: ChIP-chip ChIP-chip experiments were performed on custom Nimblegen arrays (GPL5636). Each array contained 388,000 oligonucleotide probes covering all of the X and the 2L chromosomes, with a 100 bp resolution (50mer probes with 50 bp gaps). The design was based on FlyBase 3.2. For the superspreading experiments, an additional array was used that contains the entire X chromosome and 3R (GPL5660). MSL complex binding sites on both arrays are the same and signal on the 3R chromosome was at background level.
