Project description:10-day-old seedlings from Col and h2a.w mutants (h2a.w.6, h2a.w.7, h2a.w.6,7, h2a.w.6,7,12) were harvested. Nuclei extracted using Honda buffer was fragmented with mirococcal nuclease (MNase, NEB M0247S). The fragmented DNA was purified by phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:24:1) extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation and 2% agarose gel separation and gel extraction of ~145-150 bp DNA. Purified DNA sent to BGI (Hong Kong) for library preparation and sequencing.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation DNA-sequencing (ChIP-seq) for histone H2A variants and histone modifications in WT Col-0 seedlings.

Project description:How histone intrinsic sequence variation or regulatory modifications regulate nucleosome interactions with transcription remain unclear. To clarify this question, we examined how histone variants and histone modifications assemble in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, identifying a limited number of chromatin states that divide euchromatin and heterochromatin in biologically significant subdomains. We showed that histone variants were as significant as histone modifications to determine the composition of chromatin states. The loss of function of the chromatin remodeler DECREASED IN DNA METHYLATION (DDM1) prevented the exchange between the histone variants H2A.Z and H2A.W over transposons resulting in their enrichment in chromatin states found only on proteins coding genes in the wild type. Hence, the dynamics of histone H2A variants exchange impacted the definition and distribution of chromatin states. We propose that dynamics of histone variants control the organization of histone modifications into chromatin states to achieve landmarks that signify the ability for transcription.

RNA-seq for Col-0 WT, ddm1(-/-) and Col-0 X ddm1 (F1) to evaluate transposon expression in F1 Col-0Xddm1 and ddm1

Project description:Silencing of transposons by the chromatin remodeler DDM1 is mediated by the deposition of heterochromatic H2A variants. Transposon mobility and silencing participates in genome evolution but also threaten genome integrity. DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) belongs to a conserved family of chromatin remodelers that are required to silence transposons, yet the underlying molecular mechanism has remained unknown. Here we show that DDM1 binds the histone variant H2A.W through two conserved domains that are required to deposit H2A.W and maintain transposon silencing. The mechanism of transcriptional silencing described here is likely shared among chromatin remodelers of the DDM1 family and heterochromatic H2A variants that have evolved in mammals.

Recognition of inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome by Swc2 is a major determinant for unidirectional H2A.Z exchange

Project description:The site-specific chromatin incorporation of eukaryotic histone variant H2A.Z is driven by the multi-component chromatin remodeling complex SWR1/SRCAP/ p400. The budding yeast SWR1 complex replaces the H2A-H2B dimer in the canonical nucleosome with the H2A.Z-H2B dimer, but the mechanism governing the directionality of H2A-to-H2A.Z exchange remains elusive. Here, we use single-molecule force spectroscopy to dissect the disassembly/ reassembly of H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome. We find that the N-terminal 1-135 residues of yeast SWR1-complex-protein-2 (previously termed Swc2-Z) facilitate the disassembly of nucleosomes containing H2A but not H2A.Z. The Swc2-mediated nucleosome disassembly/reassembly requires the inherently unstable H2A-nucleosome, whose instability is conferred by three H2A α2-helix residues Gly47, Pro49 and Ile63 as they selectively weaken the structural rigidity of H2A-H2B dimer. It also requires Swc2-ZN (residues 1-37) that directly anchors to H2A-nucleosome and functions in the SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro and yeast H2A.Z deposition in vivo. Our findings providecrucial insights into how SWR1 complex discriminates between the H2A-nucleosome and H2A.Z-nucleosome, establishing a simple paradigm for the governace of unidirectional H2A.Z exchange.

Bisulfite (methylome) sequencing of progenies of Col-0 grafted on msh1; Col-0 grafted on dcl2,3,4,msh1; Col-0 grafted on Col-0; msh1 mutant; dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutant in Arabidopsis [msh1_graft_BS-seq]

Project description:Col-0 floral stem was grafted on the msh1 mutant (Col-0/msh1); on the dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutant (Col-0/dcl2,3,4,msh1); on Col-0 (Col-0/Col-0). Seeds were collected from the grafted Col-0 scion after grafts were established. Seed coming from the graft then were grown on the peat mix, leaf tissue was collected at the bolting and used for the bisulfite sequencing (methylome). Tissue from the msh1 mutant and dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutants used as rootstocks was similarly collected at the bolting stage and used for the bisulfite sequencing.
