Project description:In eukaryotes, chromatin-based mechanisms superimpose with DNA sequence information to determine the transcriptional output of the genome. Therefore, evaluating the role of chromatin modifications in the regulation of gene expression is key to understand the contribution of chromatin state variations to development. Recent studies identified several transcriptional coactivators that contribute to selectively regulate cellular pathways by coordinating histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) with other histone modifications. Although H2Bub is present on a large number of genes, loss of H2B monoubiquitination activity was shown to affect RNA steady levels for a small subset of genes and therefore its influence on gene expression is not well understood. In this study we assessed the impact of H2Bub on dynamic expression changes during a rapid developmental tranistion that initiates only when exposing plants to light. This revealed that H2Bub deposition is highly dynamic in a genomic context. Furthermore, plants lacking histone H2B monoubiquitination activity were impaired for rapid changes of RNA levels for a large repertoire of genes, indicating that H2Bub is important for attaining appropriate expression levels /in fine/. Finally, the detection power of the genomic approach has allowed us to define a set of genes impacted by H2Bub dynamics for rapid changes in RNA levels. The purpose of this study was to integrate the genome-wide distribution of H2Bub chromatin mark together with transcriptome profiles of wild-type and /hub1 /mutant plants (accession GSE21922) at three time points during early photomorphogenesis H2Bub epigenome in 5-day-old dark-grown seedlings, H2Bub epigenome in 5-day-old dark-grown seedlings +1h light, and H2Bub epigenome in 5-day-old dark-grown seedlings +6h light 2 biological replicates for each time point in dye-swap - ChIP-chip

Project description:We report that histone GlcNAcylation of H2B S112 is a vital histone modification which facilitates histone monoubiquitination (ub). In a genome-wide analysis, H2B S112 GlcNAcylation sites were observed widely distributed over entire chromosomes including transcribed gene loci, together with co-localization of H2B S112 GlcNAcylation and K120 ub.

Project description:The functional determinants of histone H3 Lys-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), their potential dependency on histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) and their contribution in defining gene expression programs are poorly defined in plant systems. Differently from S. cerevisiae in which a single SET1 protein catalyzes H3 Lys-4 trimethylation as part of COMPASS (COMPlex of proteins ASsociated with SET1), this activity involves multiple histone methyltransferases (HMTs) in Arabidopsis thaliana, among which the plant-specific SDG2 (SET DOMAIN GROUP2) has a prominent role. Here we report that SDG2 co-regulates hundreds genes with SWD2-like b (S2Lb), a plant ortholog of the Swd2 axillary subunit of the evolutionarily conserved COMPASS complex. Accordingly, S2Lb associates with the AtCOMPASS core subunit WDR5a within a high-molecular weight complex and is required for proper H3K4me3 enrichment over genes highly occupied by RNA Polymerase II. S2Lb knock-out plants display little transcriptomic defects, suggesting that H3K4me3 deposition is important for optimal gene induction rather than for determining on/off transcriptional states. We further report that S2Lb and H3K4me3 are accurately targeted over most genes in hub1 mutant plants lacking histone H2B monoubiquitination. Collectively, our study indicates that a plant-specific COMPASS-like complex acting mainly through an H2Bub-independent mechanism is a major determinant of H3K4me3 deposition in Arabidopsis.
