Project description:Histone methylation plays important roles in the regulation of chromatin dynamics and transcription. Steady state levels of histone lysine methylation are regulated by a balance between enzymes that catalyze either the addition or removal of methyl groups. Using an activity-based biochemical approach, we recently uncovered the JmjC domain as an evolutionarily conserved signature motif for histone demethylases. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Jhd1, a JmjC domain-containing protein in S. cerevisiae, is an H3K36-specific demethylase. Here we report further characterization of Jhd1. Similar to its mammalian homolog, Jhd1-catalyzed histone demethylation requires iron and alpha-ketoglutarate as cofactors. Mutation and deletion studies indicate that the JmjC domain and adjacent sequences are critical for Jhd1 enzymatic activity, while the N-terminal PHD domain is dispensable. Overexpression of JHD1 results in a global reduction of H3K36 methylation in vivo. Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled microarray (ChIP-chip) studies reveal subtle changes in the distribution of H3K36me2 upon overexpression or deletion of JHD1. Our studies establish Jhd1 as a histone demethylase in budding yeast and suggest that Jhd1 functions to maintain the fidelity of histone methylation patterns along transcription units. Keywords: ChIP-chip H3K36me2 ChIPs were performed on wild type, jhd1 knockout, and JHD1 overexpression yeast strains.

Project description:Histone lysine methylation is a key epigenetic modification that regulates eukaryotic transcription. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is controlled by a reduced but evolutionarily conserved suite of methyltransferase (Set1p, Set2p, Dot1p, and Set5p) and demethylase (Jhd1p, Jhd2p, Rph1p, and Gis1p) enzymes. Many of these enzymes are extensively phosphorylated in vivo; however, the functions of specific phosphosites are poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively investigate the phosphoregulation of the yeast histone methylation network by analysing 40 phosphosites on six enzymes through mutagenesis. A total of 82 genomically-edited S. cerevisiae strains were generated and screened for changes in native H3K4, H3K36, and H3K79 methylation levels, and for sensitivity to environmental stress conditions. This demonstrated the functional relevance of phosphosites on methyltransferase Set2p (S6, S8, S10, and T127) and demethylase Jhd1p (S44) in the regulation of H3K36 methylation in vivo, and in the coordination of specific stress response pathways in budding yeast. Proteomic analysis of SET2 mutants revealed that phosphorylation site mutations lead to significant downregulation of membrane-associated proteins and processes, consistent with changes brought about by SET2 deletion. This study represents the first systematic investigation into the phosphoregulation of an entire epigenetic network in any eukaryote, and our findings establish phosphorylation as an important regulator of histone lysine methylation in S. cerevisiae.

Project description:By using of paired-end sequencing technology, we report the high-throughput profiling of Jhd2 targeting in S. cerevisiae. We obtained more than 1.8E+7 Illumina reads and generated 1.1E+7 mapped reads from Jhd2-ChIP DNA . Sequence reads for Jhd2-ChIP and Input DNA were mapped to yeast genome by using the BWA (Burrows Wheeler Aligner), SAMtools (Sequence Alignment Map) programs and followed by SICER (Spatial clustering for Identification of ChIP-Enriched Regions) program to obtain the Significant peaks. We found that the overall Jhd2 distribution across the gene body of targets is fairly correlated to the levels of H3K4 di- and tri-methylation, which are enriched at 5’ through 3’ of ORF regions. These observations demonstrate that the Jhd2, a histone H3K4 demethylase, is linked to gene transcription by locating mainly at the coding regions to balance the H3K4me of its target genes at steady state. Furthermore, we observed that Jhd2 are significantly enriched at several specific chromosomal loci including telomeres, centromeres, silent HM loci, LTR-tRNAs, and rDNA arrays. Our study demonstrated that Jhd2, H3K4-demethylase, plays a dynamic role as a chromatin insulator to define boundary regions between euchromatin and heterochromatin by association with specific chromatin loci in the yeast genome.

Project description:The integrated activity of cis-regulatory elements fine-tunes transcriptional programs of mammalian cells by recruiting cell type–specific as well as ubiquitous transcription factors (TFs). Despite their key role in modulating transcription, enhancers are still poorly characterized at the molecular level, and their limited DNA sequence conservation in evolution and variable distance from target genes make their unbiased identification challenging. The coexistence of high mono-methylation and low tri-methylation levels of lysine 4 of histone H3 is considered a signature of enhancers, but a comprehensive view of histone modifications associated to enhancers is still lacking. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with mass spectrometry, we investigated cis-regulatory regions in macrophages to comprehensively identify histone marks specifically associated with enhancers, and to profile their dynamics after transcriptional activation elicited by an inflammatory stimulation. The intersection of the proteomics data with ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed the existence of novel subpopulations of enhancers, marked by specific histone modification signatures: specifically, H3K36me2/K4me1 marks transcribed enhancers, while H3K36me3/K4me1 and H3K79me2/K4me1 combinations mark distinct classes of intronic enhancers. Thus, our MS analysis of functionally distinct genomic regions revealed the combinatorial code of histone modifications, highlighting the potential of proteomics in addressing fundamental questions in epigenetics.

Project description:We investigated the genome-wide distribution of Okazaki fragments in the commonly used laboratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288C to study the DNA replication model adopted by the budding yeast. The method based upon lambda exonuclease digestion for purification of RNA-primed replication intermediates was first improved to be suitable for the purification of Okazaki fragments. Then, we used this improved method to purify Okazaki fragments from S288C yeast cells, followed by Illumina sequencing. We found that the expected asymmetric distribution of Okazaki fragments around confirmed replication origins, which was derived from the semi-discontinuous DNA replication model, was not observed on S. cerevisiae chromosomes. Even around two highly efficient replication origins, ARS522 and ARS416, the ratios of Okazaki fragments on both strands were inconsistent with the semi-discontinuous DNA replication model. Our study supported the discontinuous DNA replication model. Besides, we also observed that Okazaki fragments were overpresented in the transcribed regions in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial genome, which indicated the interplay between transcription and DNA replication.
