Insights into the roles of histone chaperones in nucleosome assembly and disassembly in virus infection. Virus Res 2021; 297:198395. [PMID: 33737155 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2021.198395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Nucleosomes are assembled or disassembled with the aid of histone chaperones in a cell. Viruses can exist either as minichromosomes/episomes or can integrate into the host genome and in both the cases the viral proteins interact and manipulate the cellular nucleosome assembly machinery to ensure their survival and propagation. Recent studies have provided insight into the mechanism and role of histone chaperones in nucleosome assembly and disassembly on the virus genome. Further, the interactions between viral proteins and histone chaperones have been implicated in the integration of the virus genome into the host genome. This review highlights the recent progress and future challenges in understanding the role of histone chaperones in viruses with DNA or RNA genome and their role in governing viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Chromatin dynamics is essential for maintaining genomic integrity and regulating gene expression. Conserved bromodomain-containing AAA+ ATPases play important roles in nucleosome organization as histone chaperones. Recently, the high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Abo1 revealed that it forms a hexameric ring and undergoes a conformational change upon ATP hydrolysis. In addition, single-molecule imaging demonstrated that Abo1 loads H3-H4 histones onto DNA in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent manner. However, the molecular mechanism by which Abo1 loads histones remains unknown. Here, we investigated the details concerning Abo1-mediated histone loading onto DNA and the Abo1- DNA interaction using single-molecule imaging techniques and biochemical assays. We show that Abo1 does not load H2A-H2B histones. Interestingly, Abo1 deposits multiple copies of H3-H4 histones as the DNA length increases and requires at least 80 bp DNA. Unexpectedly, Abo1 weakly binds DNA regardless of ATP, and neither histone nor DNA stimulates the ATP hydrolysis activity of Abo1. Based on our results, we propose an allosteric communication model in which the ATP hydrolysis of Abo1 changes the configuration of histones to facilitate their deposition onto DNA.

Abstract
Gene expression programmes conferring cellular identity are achieved through the organization of chromatin structures that either facilitate or impede transcription. Among the key determinants of chromatin organization are the histone modifications that correlate with a given transcriptional status and chromatin state. Until recently, the details for the segregation of nucleosomes on DNA replication and their implications in re-establishing heritable chromatin domains remained unclear. Here, we review recent findings detailing the local segregation of parental nucleosomes and highlight important advances as to how histone methyltransferases associated with the establishment of repressive chromatin domains facilitate epigenetic inheritance.

Abstract
Within the cell nucleus, the organization of the eukaryotic DNA into chromatin uses histones as components of its building block, the nucleosome. This chromatin organization contributes to the regulation of all DNA template-based reactions impacting genome function, stability, and plasticity. Histones and their variants endow chromatin with unique properties and show a distinct distribution into the genome that is regulated by dedicated deposition machineries. The histone variants have important roles during early development, cell differentiation, and chromosome segregation. Recent progress has also shed light on how mutations and transcriptional deregulation of these variants participate in tumorigenesis. In this chapter we introduce the organization of the genome in chromatin with a focus on the basic unit, the nucleosome, which contains histones as the major protein component. Then we review our current knowledge on the histone H3 family and its variants-in particular H3.3 and CenH3CENP-A-focusing on their deposition pathways and their dedicated histone chaperones that are key players in histone dynamics.

Abstract
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) were usually silenced by various histone modifications on histone H3 variants and respective histone chaperones in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, it is still unknown whether chaperones of other histones could repress ERVs. Here, we show that H2A/H2B histone chaperone FACT plays a critical role in silencing ERVs and ERV-derived cryptic promoters in ESCs. Loss of FACT component Ssrp1 activated MERVL whereas the re-introduction of Ssrp1 rescued the phenotype. Additionally, Ssrp1 interacted with MERVL and suppressed cryptic transcription of MERVL-fused genes. Remarkably, Ssrp1 interacted with and recruited H2B deubiquitinase Usp7 to Ssrp1 target genes. Suppression of Usp7 caused similar phenotypes as loss of Ssrp1. Furthermore, Usp7 acted by deubiquitinating H2Bub and thereby repressed the expression of MERVL-fused genes. Taken together, our study uncovers a unique mechanism by which FACT complex silences ERVs and ERV-derived cryptic promoters in ESCs.

Mechanistic and structural insights into histone H2A–H2B chaperone in chromatin regulation. Biochem J 2020; 477:3367-3386.

Abstract
Histone chaperones include a wide variety of proteins which associate with histones and regulate chromatin structure. The classic H2A–H2B type of histone chaperones, and the chromatin remodeling complex components possessing H2A–H2B chaperone activity, show a broad range of structures and functions. Rapid progress in the structural and functional study of H2A–H2B chaperones extends our knowledge about the epigenetic regulation of chromatin. In this review, we summarize the most recent advances in the understanding of the structure and function of H2A–H2B chaperones that interact with either canonical or variant H2A–H2B dimers. We discuss the current knowledge of the H2A–H2B chaperones, which present no preference for canonical and variant H2A–H2B dimers, describing how they interact with H2A–H2B to fulfill their functions. We also review recent advances of H2A variant-specific chaperones, demarcating how they achieve specific recognition for histone variant H2A.Z and how these interactions regulate chromatin structure by nucleosome editing. We highlight the universal mechanism underlying H2A–H2B dimers recognition by a large variety of histone chaperones. These findings will shed insight into the biological impacts of histone chaperone, chromatin remodeling complex, and histone variants in chromatin regulation.

Abstract
Histones are an integral part of chromatin and thereby influence its structure, dynamics, and functions. The effects of histone variants, posttranslational modifications, and binding proteins is therefore of great interest. From the moment that they are deposited on chromatin, nucleosomal histones undergo dynamic changes in function of the cell cycle, and as DNA is transcribed and replicated. In the process, histones are not only modified and bound by various proteins, but also shuffled, evicted, or replaced. Technologies and tools to study such dynamic events continue to evolve and better our understanding of chromatin and of histone proteins proper. Here, we provide an overview of H3.1 and H3.3 histone dynamics throughout the cell cycle, while highlighting some of the tools used to study their protein–protein interactions. We specifically discuss how histones are chaperoned, modified, and bound by various proteins at different stages of the cell cycle. Established and select emerging technologies that furthered (or have a high potential of furthering) our understanding of the dynamic histone–protein interactions are emphasized. This includes experimental tools to investigate spatiotemporal changes on chromatin, the role of histone chaperones, histone posttranslational modifications, and histone-binding effector proteins.

Abstract
Maternally inherited RNA and proteins control much of embryonic development. The effect of such maternal information beyond embryonic development is largely unclear. Here, we report that maternal contribution of histone H3.3 assembly complexes can prevent the expression of late-onset anatomical, physiologic, and behavioral abnormalities of C. elegans. We show that mutants lacking hira-1, an evolutionarily conserved H3.3-deposition factor, have severe pleiotropic defects that manifest predominantly at adulthood. These late-onset defects can be maternally rescued, and maternally derived HIRA-1 protein can be detected in hira-1(-/-) progeny. Mitochondrial stress likely contributes to the late-onset defects, given that hira-1 mutants display mitochondrial stress, and the induction of mitochondrial stress results in at least some of the hira-1 late-onset abnormalities. A screen for mutants that mimic the hira-1 mutant phenotype identified PQN-80-a HIRA complex component, known as UBN1 in humans-and XNP-1-a second H3.3 chaperone, known as ATRX in humans. pqn-80 and xnp-1 abnormalities are also maternally rescued. Furthermore, mutants lacking histone H3.3 have a late-onset defect similar to a defect of hira-1, pqn-80, and xnp-1 mutants. These data demonstrate that H3.3 assembly complexes provide non-DNA-based heritable information that can markedly influence adult phenotype. We speculate that similar maternal effects might explain the missing heritability of late-onset human diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Newly synthesized histone H4 that is incorporated into chromatin during DNA replication is acetylated on lysines 5 and 12. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and HDAC2 are responsible for reducing H4 acetylation as chromatin matures. Using CRISPR-Cas9-generated hdac1- or hdac2-null fibroblasts, we determined that HDAC1 and HDAC2 do not fully compensate for each other in removing de novo acetyls on H4 in vivo Proteomics of nascent chromatin and proximity ligation assays with newly replicated DNA revealed the binding of ATAD2, a bromodomain-containing posttranslational modification (PTM) reader that recognizes acetylated H4. ATAD2 is a transcription facilitator overexpressed in several cancers and in the simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed human fibroblast model cell line used in this study. The recruitment of ATAD2 to nascent chromatin was increased in hdac2 cells over the wild type, and ATAD2 depletion reduced the levels of nascent chromatin-associated, acetylated H4 in wild-type and hdac2 cells. We propose that overexpressed ATAD2 shifts the balance of H4 acetylation by protecting this mark from removal and that HDAC2 but not HDAC1 can effectively compete with ATAD2 for the target acetyls. ATAD2 depletion also reduced global RNA synthesis and nascent DNA-associated RNA. A moderate dependence on ATAD2 for replication fork progression was noted only for hdac2 cells overexpressing the protein.

Abstract
Propagation of the chromatin landscape across cell divisions is central to epigenetic cell memory. Mechanistic analysis of the interplay between DNA replication, the cell cycle, and the epigenome has provided insights into replication-coupled chromatin assembly and post-replicative chromatin maintenance. These breakthroughs are critical for defining how proliferation impacts the epigenome during cell identity changes in development and disease. Here we review these findings in the broader context of epigenetic inheritance across mitotic cell division.

Abstract
Nucleosome assembly during DNA replication is tightly coupled to ongoing DNA synthesis. This process, termed DNA replication-coupled (RC) nucleosome assembly, is essential for chromatin replication and has a great impact on both genome stability maintenance and epigenetic inheritance. This review discusses a set of recent findings regarding the role of replisome components contributing to RC nucleosome assembly. Starting with a brief introduction to the factors involved in nucleosome assembly and some aspects of the architecture of the eukaryotic replisome, we discuss studies from yeast to mammalian cells and the interactions of replisome components with histones and histone chaperones. We describe the proposed functions of replisome components during RC nucleosome assembly and discuss their impacts on histone segregation and implications for epigenetic inheritance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining a proper supply of soluble histones throughout the cell cycle is important to ensure chromatin and genome stability. Following their synthesis, histones undergo a series of maturation steps to prepare them for deposition onto chromatin. RESULTS Here, we identify the lysine demethylase JMJD1B as a novel player in the maturation cascade that contributes to regulate histone provision. We find that depletion of JMJD1B increases the protein levels of the histone chaperone tNASP leading to an accumulation of newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 at early steps of the histone maturation cascade, which perturbs chromatin assembly. Furthermore, we find a high rate of JMJD1B mutations in cancer patients, and a correlation with genomic instability. CONCLUSIONS Our data support a role for JMJD1B in fine-tuning histone supply to maintain genome integrity, opening novel avenues for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Chromatin organization influences most aspects of gene expression regulation. The linker histone H1, along with the core histones, is a key component of eukaryotic chromatin. Despite its critical roles in chromatin structure and function and gene regulation, studies regarding the H1 protein-protein interaction networks, particularly outside of Opisthokonts, are limited. The nuclear dimorphic ciliate protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila encodes two distinct nucleus-specific linker histones, macronuclear Hho1 and micronuclear Mlh1. We used a comparative proteomics approach to identify the Hho1 and Mlh1 protein-protein interaction networks in Tetrahymena during growth, starvation, and sexual development. Affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry analysis of the Hho1 and Mlh1 proteins revealed a non-overlapping set of co-purifying proteins suggesting that Tetrahymena nucleus-specific linker histones are subject to distinct regulatory pathways. Furthermore, we found that linker histones interact with distinct proteins under the different stages of the Tetrahymena life cycle. Hho1 and Mlh1 co-purified with several Tetrahymena-specific as well as conserved interacting partners involved in chromatin structure and function and other important cellular pathways. Our results suggest that nucleus-specific linker histones might be subject to nucleus-specific regulatory pathways and are dynamically regulated under different stages of the Tetrahymena life cycle.

Abstract
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal pediatric tumor with no currently available treatment options. More than 60-70% DIPG tumors harbor heterozygous mutations at genes encoding histone H3 proteins that replace lysine 27 with methionine (K27M). In this review, we discuss how K27M mutation reprograms the cancer epigenome to lead to tumorigenesis, and highlight potential drug targets and therapeutic agents for DIPG.

Abstract
The recruitment and transference of proteins through protein-protein interactions is a general process involved in various biological functions in cells. Despite the importance of this general process, the dynamic mechanism of how proteins are recruited and transferred from one interacting partner to another remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the dynamic mechanisms of recruitment and translocation of histone chaperone CIA/ASF1 for nucleosome disassembly by exploring the conformational space and the free energy profile of unbound DBD(CCG1) and CIA/ASF1-bound DBD(CCG1) systems through extensive molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that there exists three metastable conformational states for DBD(CCG1), an unbound closed state, a CIA/ASF1-bound half-open state, and an open state. The free energy landscape shows that the closed state and the half-open state are separated by a high free energy barrier, while the half-open state and the open state are connected with a moderate free energy increase. The high free energy barrier between the closed and half-open states explains why DBD(CCG1) can recruit CIA/ASF1 and remain in the binding state during the transportation. In addition, the asymmetric binding of CIA/ASF1 on DBD(CCG1) allows DBD(CCG1) to adopt the open state by moving one of its two domains, such that the exposed domain of DBD(CCG1) is able to recognize the acetylated histone H4 tails. As such, CIA/ASF1 has a chance to translocate from DBD(CCG1) to histone, which is also facilitated by the moderate energy increase from the bound half-open state to the open state of DBD(CCG1). These findings suggest that the recruitment and transference of histone chaperone CIA/ASF1 is highly favored by its interaction with DBD(CCG1) via conformational selection and asymmetric binding, which may represent a general mechanism of similar biological processes.

Abstract
Epigenetic information, which can be passed on independently of the DNA sequence, is stored in part in the form of histone posttranslational modifications and specific histone variants. Although complexes necessary for deposition have been identified for canonical and variant histones, information regarding the chromatin assembly pathways outside of the Opisthokonts remains limited. Tetrahymena thermophila, a ciliated protozoan, is particularly suitable to study and unravel the chromatin regulatory layers due to its unique physical separation of chromatin states in the form of two distinct nuclei present within the same cell. Using a functional proteomics pipeline, we carried out affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry of endogenously tagged T. thermophila histones H2A, H2B and variant Hv1.We identified a set of interacting proteins shared among the three analyzed histones that includes the FACT-complex, as well as H2A- or Hv1-specific chaperones. We find that putative subunits of T. thermophila versions of SWR- and INO80-complexes, as well as transcription-related histone chaperone Spt6Tt specifically copurify with Hv1. We also identified importin β6 and the T. thermophila ortholog of nucleoplasmin 1 (cNpl1Tt) as H2A–H2B interacting partners. Our results further implicate Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerases in histone metabolism. Molecular evolutionary analysis, reciprocal affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry experiments, and indirect immunofluorescence studies using endogenously tagged Spt16Tt (FACT-complex subunit), cNpl1Tt, and PARP6Tt underscore the validity of our approach and offer mechanistic insights. Our results reveal a highly conserved regulatory network for H2A (Hv1)–H2B concerning their nuclear import and assembly into chromatin.

The histone chaperone HIRA promotes the induction of host innate immune defences in response to HSV-1 infection. PLoS Pathog 2019; 15:e1007667. [PMID: 30901352 PMCID: PMC6472835 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Revised: 04/18/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Host innate immune defences play a critical role in restricting the intracellular propagation and pathogenesis of invading viral pathogens. Here we show that the histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA (histone cell cycle regulator) associates with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. Following the activation of innate immune signalling, HIRA localized at PML-NBs in a Janus-Associated Kinase (JAK), Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK), and Sp100-dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis revealed that HIRA promoted the transcriptional upregulation of a broad repertoire of host genes that regulate innate immunity to HSV-1 infection, including those involved in MHC-I antigen presentation, cytokine signalling, and interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that PML, the principle scaffolding protein of PML-NBs, was required for the enrichment of HIRA onto ISGs, identifying a role for PML in the HIRA-dependent regulation of innate immunity to virus infection. Our data identifies independent roles for HIRA in the intrinsic silencing of viral gene expression and the induction of innate immune defences to restrict the initiation and propagation of HSV-1 infection, respectively. These intracellular host defences are antagonized by the HSV-1 ubiquitin ligase ICP0, which disrupts the stable recruitment of HIRA to infecting viral genomes and PML-NBs at spatiotemporally distinct phases of infection. Our study highlights the importance of histone chaperones to regulate multiple phases of intracellular immunity to virus infection, findings that are likely to be highly pertinent in the cellular restriction of many clinically important viral pathogens. Host innate immune defences play critical roles in the cellular restriction of invading viral pathogens and the stimulation of adaptive immune responses. A key component in the regulation of this arm of host immunity is the rapid induction of cytokine signalling and the expression of interferon stimulated gene products (ISGs), which confer a refractory antiviral state to limit virus propagation and pathogenesis. While the signal transduction cascades that activate innate immune defences are well established, little is known about the cellular host factors that expedite the expression of this broad repertoire of antiviral host genes in response to pathogen invasion. Here we show that HIRA, a histone H3.3 chaperone, associates with PML-NBs to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences in response to HSV-1 infection. Our study highlights the importance of histone chaperones in the coordinated regulation of multiple phases of host immunity in response to pathogen invasion and identifies a key role for HIRA in the induction of innate immunity to virus infection.
