Project description:How parental histones, the carriers of epigenetic modifications, are deposited onto replicating DNA remains poorly understood. Here, we develop the eSPAN method (enrichment and sequencing of protein associated nascent DNA) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, which detects the distribution of histones with distinct modifications on leading and lagging strands in a relatively small number of cells. We show that DNA polymerase α (Pol α), which synthesizes primers used for synthesis of both leading and lagging strands, binds histone H3-H4 preferentially. The Pol α mutant defective in histone binding in vitro impairs the transfer of parental H3-H4 to lagging strand in both yeast and mouse ES cells. Finally, dysregulation of both coding genes and non-coding endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is detected in mutant ES cells defective in parental histone transfer. Together, we report an efficient eSPAN method for analysis of DNA replication coupled processes in mouse ES cells and reveal the mechanism of Pol α in parental histone transfer.

Project description:Chromatin replication is intricately intertwined with DNA replication, and the recycling of parental histones is essential for epigenetic inheritance. The transfer of parental histones to both the DNA replication leading and lagging strands involves two distinct pathways: the leading strand utilizes DNA polymerase ε subunits Dpb3/Dpb4, while the lagging strand is facilitated by the MCM helicase subunit Mcm2. However, the process by which Mcm2, moving along the leading strand, facilitates the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand remains unclear. Our study reveals that the deletion of Pol32, a non-essential subunit of major lagging-strand DNA polymerase δ, results in a predominant transfer of parental histone H3-H4 to the replication leading strand. Biochemical analyses further demonstrate that Pol32 can bind histone H3-H4 both in vivo and in vitro. The interaction of Pol32 with parental histone H3-H4 is disrupted by the mutation of Mcm2's histone H3-H4 binding domain. In conclusion, our findings identify the DNA polymerase delta subunit Pol32 as a novel key histone chaperone downstream of Mcm2, mediating the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Project description:How parental histone H3-H4 tetramers, the primary carrier of epigenetic modifications, are transferred to leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks following DNA replication is an important question that remains not well understood. Here we show that DNA polymerase clamp PCNA and its partner involved in lagging strand DNA synthesis, Pol d, regulate parental histone transfer to lagging strands. Mutations at PCNA as well as at subunits of Pol d that impair the PCNA-Pol d interaction affect parental histone transfer to lagging strands, and this defect unlikely arises from their impacts on DNA synthesis. Moreover, Pol d interacts with H3-H4 in vitro. We suggest that the PCNA-Pol d complex, best known for its role in lagging strand DNA synthesis and DNA repair, couples lagging strand DNA synthesis to the transfer of the parental histones H3-H4 for the inheritance of chromatin structures following DNA replication and possibly DNA repair.

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

Project description:How parental histones, the carriers of epigenetic modifications, are deposited onto replicating DNA remains poorly understood. Here, we describe the eSPAN method (enrichment and sequencing of protein-associated nascent DNA) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and use it to detect histone deposition onto replicating DNA strands with a relatively small number of cells. We show that DNA polymerase α (Pol α), which synthesizes short primers for DNA synthesis, binds histone H3-H4 preferentially. A Pol α mutant defective in histone binding in vitro impairs the transfer of parental H3-H4 to lagging strands in both yeast and mouse ES cells. Last, dysregulation of both coding genes and noncoding endogenous retroviruses is detected in mutant ES cells defective in parental histone transfer. Together, we report an efficient eSPAN method for analysis of DNA replication-linked processes in mouse ES cells and reveal the mechanism of Pol α in parental histone transfer.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, inheritable changes in gene expression in response to environmental and developmental stimuli is associated with changes in histone modifications and relies on the passage of these changes into daughter cells during cell division, a process that remains elusive. Here, we show that parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers, the primary carrier of epigenetic modifications, are assembled into nucleosomes onto both replicating leading and lagging strands, with a preference for lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This asymmetric distribution of parental (H3-H4)2 is exacerbated in cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4, two subunits of DNA polymerase Pol ε. Dpb3-Dpb4 binds (H3-H4)2 and participates in the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers onto leading strands of DNA replication forks. Cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4 exhibits defects in epigenetic inheritance. These results reveal a previously undocumented mechanism of histone segregation and a direct role for Pol ε in this poorly understood process.

Project description:During DNA replication parental, nucleosomic histones are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histones and their PTMs. In MCM2 histone-binding mutant ESCs (MCM2-2A), histones are recycled asymmetrically to the leading strand. To evaluate if loss of parental histones contributes to the asymmetry, we tracked new and old histones quantitatively by pulse-Triple-SILAC-MS. The quantification showed no change in dilution and incorporation dynamics in MCM2-2A cells, demonstrating that parental histones are not lost at replication forks but re-routed from the lagging to the leading strand.

Project description:We present here evidence that histones H3.1 and H4 can be imported into the nucleus as monomers in human cells. Using a tether-and-release system to study the cytosolic phase and import dynamics of newly synthesised histones, we find that H3.1 and H4 can be maintained as stable monomers in the cytosol in a tethered state. Cytosolically tethered histones are bound tightly to Importin- proteins (predominantly IPO4), but not to the histone specific chaperones NASP, ASF1a, RbAp46 (RBBP7) or HAT1, which reside in the nucleus in interphase cells. Release of monomeric histones from their cytosolic tether results in rapid nuclear translocation, dissociation with IPO4 and incorporation into chromatin at sites of replication. Quantitative analysis of histones bound to individual chaperones under steady-state conditions reveals an excess of H3 specifically associated with sNASP, suggesting that NASP can maintain a soluble, monomeric pool of H3 within the nucleus and may act as a nuclear receptor for newly imported histone. In summary, we propose that histones H3 and H4 are rapidly imported as monomeric units, forming heterodimers in the nucleus rather than the cytosol, with sNASP acting as a potential nuclear receptor for monomeric histone H3.

Project description:During every cell cycle, both the genome and the associated chromatin must be accurately replicated. Chromatin Assembly Factor-1 (CAF-1) is a key regulator of chromatin replication, but how CAF-1 functions in relation to the DNA replication machinery is unknown. Here, we reveal that this crosstalk differs between the leading and lagging strand at replication forks. Using biochemical reconstitution, we show that DNA and histones promote CAF-1 recruitment to its binding partner PCNA and reveal that two CAF-1 complexes are required for efficient nucleosome assembly under these conditions. Remarkably, in the context of the replisome, CAF-1 competes with the leading strand DNA polymerase epsilon (Pole) for PCNA binding. However, CAF-1 does not affect the activity of the lagging strand DNA polymerase Delta (Pold). Yet, in cells, CAF-1 deposits newly synthesized histones equally on both daughter strands. Thus, on the leading strand, chromatin assembly by CAF-1 cannot occur simultaneously to DNA synthesis, while on the lagging strand these processes may be coupled. We propose that these differences may facilitate distinct parental histone recycling mechanisms and accommodate the inherent asymmetry of DNA replication.

Project description:We show that ligation-competent Okazaki fragments in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are sized according to the chromatin repeat. Using deep sequencing, we demonstrate that ligation junctions preferentially occur around nucleosome midpoints rather than in internucleosomal linker regions. Disrupting chromatin assembly or lagging strand polymerase processivity impacts both the size and the distribution of Okazaki fragments, suggesting a role for nascent chromatin, assembled immediately after the passage of the replication fork, in the termination of lagging strand synthesis. Our studies represent the first high-resolution analysis of eukaryotic Okazaki fragments in vivo, and establish a mechanistic link between the fundamental processes of DNA replication and chromatin assembly. 4 samples: replicate samples of wild-type and pol32 knockout
