Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z plays key roles in gene expression, DNA repair, and centromere function. H2A.Z deposition is controlled by SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes that catalyze the nucleosomal exchange of canonical H2A with H2A.Z. Here we report that acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56Ac) alters the substrate specificity of SWR-C, leading to promiscuous dimer exchange where either H2A.Z or H2A can be exchanged from nucleosomes. This result is confirmed in vivo, where genome-wide analysis demonstrates widespread decreases in H2A.Z levels in yeast mutants with hyperacetylated H3K56. Our work also suggests that a conserved SWR-C subunit may function as a M-bM-^@M-^\lockM-bM-^@M-^] that prevents removal of H2A.Z from nucleosomes. Our study identifies a histone modification that regulates a chromatin remodeling reaction and provides insights into how histone variants and nucleosome turnover can be controlled by chromatin regulators.

Project description:Both, acetylation of histones and of histone variant H2A.Z are conserved features of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) and both features appear to be critical for correct transcription initiation. However, complex patterns of transcriptional regulation have complicated the establishment of functional links between histone acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and their importance in transcription regulation. To elucidate these links, we took advantage of the unusual genome organization in Trypanosoma brucei, a highly divergent eukaryote. In T. brucei genes are organized in long polycistronic transcription units, drastically reducing the sites of transcription initiation. Employing a highly sensitive and quantitative mass-spectrometry-based approach, we quantified the genome-wide histone acetylation and methylation pattern and identified various acetyl and methyl marks exclusively enriched at TSSs In addition, we show that deletion of histone acetyltransferase 2 results in a loss of H4 acetylation at TSSs, a loss of H2A.Z deposition at TSSs and a shift in the sites of transcription initiation. Combined, our findings demonstrate an evolutionary conserved link between histone H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and RNA transcription initiation.

Project description:Post-translational histone modifications and the dynamics of histone variant H2A.Z are key mechanisms underlying the floral transition. In yeast, SWR1-C and NuA4-C mediate the deposition of H2A.Z and the acetylation of histone H4, H2A and H2A.Z respectively. Yaf9 is a subunit shared by both chromatin remodeling complexes. The significance of the two Arabidopsis YAF9 homologs, YAF9A and YAF9B, is unknown. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of wild-type and yaf9a yaf9b double mutant seedlings in order to reveal target genes whose transcription is regulated by YAF9 proteins.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is a genome-wide signature of nucleosomes proximal to eukaryotic regulatory DNA. While the multi-subunit SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex is known to catalyze ATP-dependent deposition of H2A.Z, the mechanism of recruitment to S. cerevisiae promoters has been unclear. A sensitive assay for competitive binding of di-nucleosome substrates revealed that SWR1 preferentially binds long nucleosome-free DNA adjoining core particles, allowing discrimination of gene promoters over gene bodies. We traced the critical DNA binding component of SWR1 to the conserved Swc2/YL1 subunit, whose activity is required for both SWR1 binding and H2A.Z incorporation in vivo. Histone acetylation by NuA4 enhances SWR1 binding, but the interaction with nucleosome-free DNA is the major determinant. ‘Hierarchical cooperation’ between high affinity DNA- and low affinity histone modification-binding factors may reconcile the large disparity in affinities for chromatin substrates, and unify classical control by DNA-binding factors with post-translational histone modifications and ATP-dependent nucleosome mobility.

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:The goal was to investigate genome-wide if JAZF1 influences the deposition as well as the acetylation of the histone variant H2A.Z. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that depletion of JAZF1 leads to reduced acetylation of H2A.Z at specific sites.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is essential for maintaining the identity of embryonic stem cell (ESC) by keeping bivalent developmental genes at a poised state. However, how H2A.Z is deposited into the bivalent domains remains unknown. In mammals, two chromatin-remodeling complexes, Tip60/p400 and SRCAP, exchange the canonical histone H2A for H2A.Z in the chromatin. Here we show that Glioma Amplified Sequence 41 (Gas41), a shared subunit of the two H2A.Z-depositing complexes, functions as a reader of histone acetylation and recruits Tip60/p400 and SRCAP to deposit H2A.Z into specific chromatin regions including bivalent domains. The YEATS domain of Gas41 bound to acetylation on histone H3K27 and H3K14 both in vitro and in cells. Crystal structure of the Gas41 YEATS domain in complex with the H3K27ac peptide revealed that, similar to the AF9 and ENL YEATS domains, Gas41 YEATS forms a serine-lined aromatic cage for Kac recognition; mutations of either the aromatic residues of YEATS domain or the nearby residue of H3K27 abrogated the interaction. In mESCs, knockdown of Gas41 led to cell differentiation as the result of derepression of differentiation genes. Importantly, the differentiated morphology was rescued by expressing wild type Gas41, but not the YEATS domain mutated counterparts that do not recognize histone acetylation. Mechanically, we found that Gas41 depletion led to reduction of H2A.Z levels and a concomitant reduction of H3K27me3 levels at the promoters of a subset of bivalent genes. Together, our study identifies the Gas41 YEATS domain as a reader of histone acetylation and establishes a link between histone acetylation and H2A.Z deposition in the maintenance of ESC identity.

Project description:Deposition of histone variant H2A.Z by the SWR1 chromatin-remodeling complex is critical for the appropriate expression of many genes in eukaryotes, yet, despite its importance, the composition of the Arabidopsis SWR1 complex has not been thoroughly analyzed. Here we have identified the interacting partners of a conserved Arabidopsis SWR1 subunit, actin-related protein 6 (ARP6). We isolated 9 predicted components, identifying subunits implicated in histone acetylation and interacting partners implicated in chromatin biology. We found that the methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 (MBD9) subunit functioned synergistically with ARP6 to control flowering time. MBD9, in combination with ARP6, was involved in the SWR1-mediated incorporation of the majority of H2A.Z. MBD6 was further required for deposition of H2A.Z at a distinct subset of loci. MBD9 was preferentially bound to nucleosome-depleted regions at the 5’ of genes containing high levels of activating histone marks. Our data suggests a model for MBD9 in recruiting the SWR1 complex to open chromatin of actively transcribing genes.
