Project description:During mammalian spermatogenesis, male germ cells undergo dramatic reorganization of chromatin, whereby 90-99% of histones are evicted and replaced by protamines. This reorganization prominently features histone acetylation to loosen chromatin structure. Given the potential role of retained histones in fertility and early embryonic development, the genomic location of retained nucleosomes is of great interest. However, the ultimate position and mechanisms underlying nucleosome eviction/retention are poorly understood, including several studies utilizing MNase-seq methodologies, but reporting remarkably dissimilar locations. Here, we utilized ATAC-seq to determine the location of retained nucleosomes in mouse sperm and found enrichment at promoters, but also retention at inter- and intragenic regions, and repetitive elements. We further investigated nucleosome eviction/retention by generating pre-meiotic, germ cell specific, conditional knockout mice for the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5, a key histone acetyltransferase. Gcn5cKO germ cells exhibited abnormal chromatin dynamics during spermiogenesis, including diminished nucleosome eviction leading to increased histone retention in sperm. These mice exhibited severe reproductive phenotypes: abnormal sperm production, sperm morphology, and ultimately, male infertility. Our findings demonstrate Gcn5 mediated histone acetylation promotes chromatin accessibility and nucleosome eviction in spermiogenesis, and that loss of histone acetylation leads to defects that disrupt male fertility and potentially, early embryogenesis.

Project description:During mammalian spermatogenesis, germ cell chromatin undergoes dramatic histone acetylation-mediated reorganization, whereby 90%-99% of histones are evicted. Given the potential role of retained histones in fertility and embryonic development, the genomic location of retained nucleosomes is of great interest. However, the ultimate position and mechanisms underlying nucleosome eviction or retention are poorly understood, including several studies utilizing micrococcal-nuclease sequencing (MNase-seq) methodologies reporting remarkably dissimilar locations. We utilized assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) in mouse sperm and found nucleosome enrichment at promoters but also retention at inter- and intragenic regions and repetitive elements. We further generated germ-cell-specific, conditional knockout mice for the key histone acetyltransferase Gcn5, which resulted in abnormal chromatin dynamics leading to increased sperm histone retention and severe reproductive phenotypes. Our findings demonstrate that Gcn5-mediated histone acetylation promotes chromatin accessibility and nucleosome eviction in spermiogenesis and that loss of histone acetylation leads to defects that disrupt male fertility and potentially early embryogenesis.

Project description:PArtner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) is essential to maintain genome stability in human cells. Upon DNA damage by double DNA strand breaks, PALB2 is required to repair DNA by homologous recombination. In undamaged conditions, PALB2 protects coding regions, by preventing DNA stress due to collisions between transcription and replication machineries. PALB2 associates with chromatin, which is essential to fulfill its function in genome stability maintenance, however molecular mechanisms regulating PALB2 chromatin association remain unknown. In our previous published study describing the KAT2A/B(GCN5/PCAF)-acetylome (Fournier et al., Nat.Comm. 2016, doi: 10.1038/ncomms13227) we have identified PALB2 as an acetylated protein target of the acetyltransferases KAT2A (GCN5) and KAT2B (PCAF) in vivo. KAT2A/B-acetylated sites of PALB2 were mapped within its DNA/Chromatin association domain. In this current study, we have conducted in vitro acetyltransferase (AT) assays, by mixing purified recombinant GST-tagged PALB2 full-length (FL) and PALB2 fragment P2.2 which associates with DNA/chromatin (from residues 295-610), with Flag-PCAF, Flag-GCN5 and Flag-GCN5 catalytic mutant (mut), followed by proteomics analysis to map PALB2 acetylated lysines by KAT2A(GCN5) and KAT2B(PCAF) in vitro. PALB2 FL and P2.2 alone, or PALB2 FL and P2.2 mixed with GCN5 catalytic mutant, were used as negative controls.

Project description:Chromatin mapping using micrococcal nuclease (MNase) has been the standard tool for mapping nucleosomes for >40 years. When coupled with DNA sequencing, MNase-seq can provide base-pair-resolution nucleosome maps. However, determining nucleosome occupancy using MNase-seq has been hampered by its aggressive endo-/exo-nuclease activities, whereby cleavages within linker regions produce oligo- and mono-nucleosomes whereas cleavages within nucleosomes destroy them. Here we introduce a theoretical framework for predicting nucleosome occupancies and an experimental protocol with appropriate spike-in normalization that confirms our theory and provides accurate occupancy levels over an MNase digestion time-course. As expected, DNaseI hypersensitive sites and transcription units are digested by MNase at elevated rates, and the apparent deficiency of nucleosomes at 3’ ends of Drosophila genes is an artifact of MNase preference for AT-rich DNA. Surprisingly, we observed no overall differences between Drosophila euchromatin and heterochromatin, which implies that heterochromatin compaction does not render nucleosomal DNA less accessible than euchromatin.
