Project description:DNA methylation and histone H1 mediate transcriptional silencing of genes and transposable elements, but how they interact is unclear. In plants and animals with mosaic genomic methylation, functionally mysterious methylation is also common within constitutively active housekeeping genes. Here we show that H1 is enriched in methylated sequences, including genes, of Arabidopsis thaliana, yet this enrichment is independent of DNA methylation. Loss of H1 disperses heterochromatin, globally alters nucleosome organization, and activates H1-bound genes, but only weakly de-represses transposable elements. However, H1 loss strongly activates transposable elements hypomethylated through mutation of DNA methyltransferase MET1. Hypomethylation of genes also activates antisense transcription, which is enhanced by H1 loss. Our results demonstrate that H1 and DNA methylation jointly maintain transcriptional homeostasis by silencing transposable elements and aberrant intragenic transcripts. Such functionality plausibly explains why DNA methylation, a well-known mutagen, has been maintained within coding sequences of crucial plant and animal genes.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) mediate transposable element (TE) silencing at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level in animal gonads. In the Drosophila ovary, Piwiâ??piRNA complexes (Piwiâ??piRISCs) repress TE transcription by modifying the chromatin state, such as H3K9me3 marks. Here, we demonstrate that Piwi physically interacts with linker histone H1. Depletion of Piwi decreases H1 density on target loci, leading to TE derepression. Loss of H1 results in gain of chromatin accessibility at target loci without affecting H3K9me3 and heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) density at the same loci. Piwi-mediated TE silencing also requires HP1a by regulating chromatin accessibility through its association with target loci. Thus, Piwiâ??piRISCs require both H1 and HP1a to repress TEs, and the silencing is correlated with the state of chromatin formation rather than H3K9me3 marks. These findings suggest that Piwiâ??piRISCs regulate the interaction of chromatin components with target loci to maintain silencing of the TE state through the modulation of chromatin accessibility. RNA levels, H1 and H3K9me3 occupancy, chromatin accessibility, and Piwi-associated small RNA levels in ovarian somatic cells (OSC) depleted of piRNA pathway components and H1.

Project description:Heat stressed Arabidopsis plants release heterochromatin-associated transposable element (TE) silencing, which however is not accompanied by major reductions of epigenetic repressive modifications. In this study, we explored the functional role of histone H1 in repressing heterochromatic TEs in response to heat stress. Loss of H1 caused activation of pericentromeric GYPSY elements upon heat treatment, despite that these elements remained highly methylated. In contrast, non-pericentromeric COPIA elements became activated concomitantly with loss of DNA methylation. The same COPIA elements became activated in heat-treated chromomethylase2 (cmt2) mutants, indicating that H1 represses COPIA elements through maintaining DNA methylation under heat. We discovered that H1 is required for TE repression in response to heat stress, but its functional role differs depending on TE location. Strikingly, H1 deficient plants treated with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor zebularine were highly tolerant to heat stress, suggesting that both, H1 and DNA methylation redundantly suppress the plant response to heat stress.

Project description:The fidelity of the early embryonic program is underlined by tight regulation of the chromatin. Yet, our understanding of how the chromatin is organized to prohibit the reversal of the developmental program remains limited. Specifically, the totipotency to pluripotency transition marks one of the most dramatic events to the chromatin, yet the nature of histone changes and regulation underlying this process are only partly characterized. Here we show that linker histone H1 is post-translationally modulated by SUMO2/3, which facilitates its fixation onto ultra-condensed heterochromatin in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Upon SUMOylation depletion, the chromatin becomes de-compacted and H1 is evicted, leading to totipotency reactivation. Further, we show that H1 and SUMO2/3 jointly mediate the repression of totipotent elements. Lastly, we demonstrate that preventing SUMOylation on H1 abrogates its ability to repress totipotency in ESCs. Collectively, our findings unravel a critical role for SUMOylation of H1 in mediating chromatin repression and desolation of the totipotent identity.

Project description:Bacteria can generate heterogeneity through phase variation, including enzyme-mediated inversion of specific intergenic regions of genomic DNA. We developed a computation tool that identifies invertible elements using long-read datasets, PhaVa. We identified over 300 ‘intragenic invertons,’ a new class of invertible elements entirely within genes, in both bacteria and archaea. In the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, we experimentally characterized an intragenic inverton in the thiamine biosynthesis protein thiC. We used mass spectrometry in data-independent acquisition mode to identify and quantify B. theta proteins, including thiC inverton expression at the protein level.

Project description:Combined depletion of H1.2 and H1.4 has a strong deleterious effect in the cancer cells examined, and induces a strong interferon (IFN) response with up-regulation of many IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), which is not seen in individual H1 knock-downs. Although H1 participates to repress ISG promoters, its activation upon H1 KD is mainly generated by the activation of the IFN response through cytosolic nucleic acids receptors, IFN synthesis and JAK-STAT pathway activation. The IFN response may be triggered by the expression of noncoding dsRNAs generated from heterochromatic repeats or endogenous retroviruses upon H1 KD. H1 KD promotes the appearance of accessibility sites genome wide and, particularly, at satellites and other repeats.
