Project description:The Evening Complex (EC) is a core component of the circadian clock, which represses target gene expression at the end of the day and integrates temperature information in order to coordinate environmental and endogenous signals. Despite its importance, the mechanism of EC function remains unknown. Here we show that the EC recruits repressive chromatin domains to regulate the evening transcriptome. The EC component EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) directly interacts with a protein from the Swi2/Snf2-Related 1 (SWR1) complex to control deposition of H2A.Z-nucleosomes at the EC target genes. The SWR1 components display a circadian oscillation in gene expression with a peak at dusk, suggesting that the circadian clock controls the expression and function of SWR1. In turn, SWR1 is required for the circadian clockwork as defects in SWR1 activity alters morning-expressed genes. The EC-SWR1 complex binds to the promoters of the core clock genes PSEUDORESPONSE REGULATOR 7 (PRR7) and PRR9 and catalyzes H2A.Z deposition coincident with their repression at dusk. This provides a mechanism by which the circadian clock temporally establishes repressive chromatin domains to shape oscillatory gene expression around dusk.

Project description:Chromatin modifications have been implicated in the self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the function of histone variant H2A.Z in ESCs remains unclear. We show that H2A.Z is highly enriched at promoters and enhancers and is required for both efficient self-renewal and differentiation of murine ESCs. H2A.Z deposition leads to an abnormal nucleosome structure, decreased nucleosome occupancy and increased chromatin accessibility. In self-renewing ESCs, knockdown of H2A.Z compromises OCT4 binding to its target genes and leads to decreased binding of MLL complexes to active genes and of PRC2 complex to repressed genes in self-renewal of ESCs. During differentiation of ESCs, inhibition of H2A.Z also compromises RA-induced RARα binding, activation of differentiation markers and the repression of pluripotency genes. We propose that H2A.Z mediates such contrasting activities by acting as a 'general facilitator' that generates access for a variety of complexes both activating and repressive.

Project description:The regulation of eukaryotic chromatin relies on interactions between many epigenetic factors, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and the incorporation of histone variants. H2A.Z, one of the most conserved but enigmatic histone variants that is enriched at the transcriptional start sites of genes, has been implicated in a variety of chromosomal processes. Recently, we reported a genome-wide anticorrelation between H2A.Z and DNA methylation, an epigenetic hallmark of heterochromatin that has also been found in the bodies of active genes in plants and animals. Here, we investigate the basis of this anticorrelation using a novel h2a.z loss-of-function line in Arabidopsis thaliana. Through genome-wide bisulfite sequencing, we demonstrate that a loss of H2A.Z in Arabidopsis does not affect the level or profile of DNA methylation in genes, and we propose that the global anticorrelation between DNA methylation and H2A.Z is caused by the exclusion of H2A.Z from methylated DNA. RNA-seq and genomic mapping of H2A.Z show that H2A.Z enrichment across gene bodies, rather than at the TSS, is correlated with lower transcription levels and higher measures of gene responsiveness. We find that a loss of H2A.Z causes misregulation of many genes that are disproportionately associated with response to both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. We propose that H2A.Z deposition in gene bodies promotes variability in levels and patterns of gene expression, and that a major function of genic DNA methylation is to exclude H2A.Z from constitutively expressed genes.

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: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:To investigate the functional conservation of H2A.Z histones during eukaryotic evolution we transformed h2a.z deficient plants with three human H2A.Z proteins to assess their ability to rescue the mutant defects. We discovered that human H2A.Z.1 and H2A.Z.2.1 fully complement the phenotypic abnormalities of h2a.z plants even though Arabidopsis and human H2A.Z N-terminal tail sequences are divergent, while the brain-specific splice variant H2A.Z.2.2 has a dominant-negative effect in wild-type plants. Furthermore, H2A.Z.1 almost completely re-establishes normal H2A.Z chromatin occupancy in h2a.z plants and restores the expression of more than 84 % of misexpressed genes. Finally, our hypothesis that the N-terminal tail of Arabidopsis H2A.Z is not crucial for its overall function was supported by the ability of N-terminal end truncations of Arabidopsis HTA11 to largely rescue the defects of h2a.z mutants.

Project description:High levels of the histone variant H2A.Z are characteristic for melanoma progression and correlate with poor prognosis of melanoma patients. Two chaperone complexes are reported to deposit H2A.Z isoforms into chromatin: SRCAP and P400-TIP60. YL1 is a common subunit of both complexes and directly binds to the H2A.Z-H2B dimer. Here, we showed that the knockdown of SRCAP (SRCAP-specific), P400 (P400-TIP60-specific) and YL1 (shared subunit) results in loss of H2A.Z deposition into chromatin in melanoma cells, confirming them as H2A.Z chaperone subunits in this system. Further, we demonstrated that H2A.Z, YL1 and the SRCAP-specific subunit ZNHIT1 co-localize at active promoters of cell cycle-related genes, such as the transcription factor E2F1. Knockdown of YL1, SRCAP and P400 downregulates E2F1 and its targets, resulting in a loss of proliferation and cell cycle arrest in melanoma cells as seen after knockdown of H2A.Z (Vardabasso et al. 2015). Strikingly, besides H2A.Z loss, we observed a dramatic loss of H4 acetylation in melanoma chromatin upon knockdown of H2A.Z chaperone subunits. The majority of genes whose promoters showed a reduction in H4 acetylation were previously bound by H2A.Z, YL1 and ZNHIT1. This is suggestive of a direct link between H2A.Z deposition and H4 acetylation to promote the expression of underlying genes. In agreement, the genes that lost H4 acetylation were enriched for E2F1 target genes. Interestingly, we additionally found that knockdown of YL1 did not only prohibit cell cycle progression, but also induces apoptosis, which is in contrast to H2A.Z knockdown affecting cell cycle only. In addition, YL1 (but not SRCAP or P400) was found to be overexpressed in melanoma and high YL1 levels were a predictor of poor melanoma patient outcome. These findings provide a rationale for targeting the H2A.Z-YL1 interaction as novel epigenetic strategy for melanoma treatment.
