Abstract
H2A.Z is a conserved histone variant that is localized to specific genomic regions where it plays important roles in transcription, DNA repair, and replication. Central to the biochemistry of human H2A.Z are the SRCAP and TIP60 chromatin remodelers, homologs of yeast SWR1 which catalyzes ATP-dependent H2A.Z exchange. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy to resolve six structural states of the native SRCAP complex, uncovering conformational intermediates interpreted as a stepwise path to full nucleosome engagement. We also resolve the structure of the native TIP60 complex which consists of a structured core from which flexibly tethered chromatin binding domains emerge. Despite the shared subunit composition, the core of TIP60 displays divergent architectures from SRCAP that structurally disfavor nucleosome engagement, suggesting a distinct biochemical function.

Abstract
The INO80 chromatin remodeler is a versatile enzyme capable of several functions, including spacing nucleosomes equal distances apart, precise positioning of nucleosomes based on DNA shape/sequence and exchanging histone dimers. Within INO80, the Arp5 subunit plays a central role in INO80 remodeling, evidenced by its interactions with the histone octamer, nucleosomal and extranucleosomal DNA, and its necessity in linking INO80's ATPase activity to nucleosome movement. Our investigation reveals that the grappler domain of Arp5 interacts with the acidic pocket of nucleosomes through two distinct mechanisms: an arginine anchor or a hydrophobic/acidic patch. These two modes of binding serve distinct functions within INO80 as shown in vivo by mutations in these regions resulting in varying phenotypes and in vitro by diverse effects on nucleosome mobilization. Our findings suggest that the hydrophobic/acidic patch of Arp5 is likely important for dimer exchange by INO80, while the arginine anchor is crucial for mobilizing nucleosomes.

Abstract
The packaging of DNA into chromatin in eukaryotes regulates gene transcription, DNA replication and DNA repair. ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling enzymes (re)arrange nucleosomes at the first level of chromatin organization. Their Snf2-type motor ATPases alter histone-DNA interactions through a common DNA translocation mechanism. Whether remodeller activities mainly catalyse nucleosome dynamics or accurately co-determine nucleosome organization remained unclear. In this Review, we discuss the emerging mechanisms of chromatin remodelling: dynamic remodeller architectures and their interactions, the inner workings of the ATPase cycle, allosteric regulation and pathological dysregulation. Recent mechanistic insights argue for a decisive role of remodellers in the energy-driven self-organization of chromatin, which enables both stability and plasticity of genome regulation - for example, during development and stress. Different remodellers, such as members of the SWI/SNF, ISWI, CHD and INO80 families, process (epi)genetic information through specific mechanisms into distinct functional outputs. Combinatorial assembly of remodellers and their interplay with histone modifications, histone variants, DNA sequence or DNA-bound transcription factors regulate nucleosome mobilization or eviction or histone exchange. Such input-output relationships determine specific nucleosome positions and compositions with distinct DNA accessibilities and mediate differential genome regulation. Finally, remodeller genes are often mutated in diseases characterized by genome dysregulation, notably in cancer, and we discuss their physiological relevance.

Abstract
Single-particle cryo-EM is widely used to determine enzyme-nucleosome complex structures. However, cryo-EM sample preparation remains challenging and inconsistent due to complex denaturation at the air-water interface (AWI). Here, to address this issue, we develop graphene-oxide-coated EM grids functionalized with either single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or thiol-poly(acrylic acid-co-styrene) (TAASTY) co-polymer. These grids protect complexes between the chromatin remodeler SNF2h and nucleosomes from the AWI and facilitate collection of high-quality micrographs of intact SNF2h-nucleosome complexes in the absence of crosslinking. The data yields maps ranging from 2.3 to 3 Å in resolution. 3D variability analysis reveals nucleotide-state linked conformational changes in SNF2h bound to a nucleosome. In addition, the analysis provides structural evidence for asymmetric coordination between two SNF2h protomers acting on the same nucleosome. We envision these grids will enable similar detailed structural analyses for other enzyme-nucleosome complexes and possibly other protein-nucleic acid complexes in general.

Abstract
The chromatin remodeler ALC1 is activated by DNA damage-induced poly(ADP-ribose) deposited by PARP1/PARP2 and their co-factor HPF1. ALC1 has emerged as a cancer drug target, but how it is recruited to ADP-ribosylated nucleosomes to affect their positioning near DNA breaks is unknown. Here we find that PARP1/HPF1 preferentially initiates ADP-ribosylation on the histone H2B tail closest to the DNA break. To dissect the consequences of such asymmetry, we generate nucleosomes with a defined ADP-ribosylated H2B tail on one side only. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of ALC1 bound to such an asymmetric nucleosome indicates preferential engagement on one side. Using single-molecule FRET, we demonstrate that this asymmetric recruitment gives rise to directed sliding away from the DNA linker closest to the ADP-ribosylation site. Our data suggest a mechanism by which ALC1 slides nucleosomes away from a DNA break to render it more accessible to repair factors.

Abstract
The cancer-specific fusion oncoprotein SS18-SSX1 disturbs chromatin accessibility by hijacking the BAF complex from the promoters and enhancers to the Polycomb-repressed chromatin regions. This process relies on the selective recognition of H2AK119Ub nucleosomes by synovial sarcoma X breakpoint 1 (SSX1). However, the mechanism underlying the selective recognition of H2AK119Ub nucleosomes by SSX1 in the absence of ubiquitin (Ub)-binding capacity remains unknown. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of SSX1 bound to H2AK119Ub nucleosomes at 3.1-Å resolution. Combined in vitro biochemical and cellular assays revealed that the Ub recognition by SSX1 is unique and depends on a cryptic basic groove formed by H3 and the Ub motif on the H2AK119 site. Moreover, this unorthodox binding mode of SSX1 induces DNA unwrapping at the entry/exit sites. Together, our results describe a unique mode of site-specific ubiquitinated nucleosome recognition that underlies the specific hijacking of the BAF complex to Polycomb regions by SS18-SSX1 in synovial sarcoma.

Abstract
The INO80 complex stood out in a large family of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers because of its ATPase domain binding and translocating on DNA at the edge of nucleosomes, rather than at two helical turns from the center of DNA that is wrapped around nucleosomes. This unique property of INO80 was thought to account for its singular role in nucleosome placement at gene promoters in a DNA-sequence dependent manner that is crucial for transcription regulation. Now, we uncover INO80 functions differently than previously thought with its ATPase domain translocating on DNA close to the center of nucleosomes, like other remodelers. Our discovery also reveals the physical properties of the first ~36 bp of DNA on the entry side of nucleosomes is the main determinant for the DNA specificity of INO80 rather than the properties of the extranucleosomal DNA. The DNA sequence sensitive step of INO80 is after DNA is displaced from the histone octamer on the entry side of nucleosomes and 20 bp of DNA are moved out the exit side. We find the ATPase domain and Arp5 subunit of INO80 are likely involved in INO80's DNA specificity and the mechanism of INO80 remodeling is substantially different than originally proposed.

Abstract
Chromatin remodelers use a helicase-type ATPase motor to shift DNA around the histone core. Although not directly reading out the DNA sequence, some chromatin remodelers exhibit a sequence-dependent bias in nucleosome positioning, which presumably reflects properties of the DNA duplex. Here, we show how nucleosome positioning by the Chd1 remodeler is influenced by local DNA perturbations throughout the nucleosome footprint. Using site-specific DNA cleavage coupled with next-generation sequencing, we show that nucleosomes shifted by Chd1 can preferentially localize DNA perturbations - poly(dA:dT) tracts, DNA mismatches, and single-nucleotide insertions - about a helical turn outside the Chd1 motor domain binding site, super helix location 2 (SHL2). This phenomenon occurs with both the Widom 601 positioning sequence and the natural +1 nucleosome sequence from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SWH1 gene. Our modeling indicates that localization of DNA perturbations about a helical turn outward from SHL2 results from back-and-forth sliding due to remodeler action on both sides of the nucleosome. Our results also show that barrier effects from DNA perturbations can be extended by the strong phasing of nucleosome positioning sequences.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cryptic transcription at the coding region is prevented by the activity of Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex Rpd3S, which is carried by the transcribing RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to deacetylate and stabilize chromatin. Despite its fundamental importance, the mechanisms by which Rpd3S deacetylates nucleosomes and regulates chromatin dynamics remain elusive. Here, we determined several cryo-EM structures of Rpd3S in complex with nucleosome core particles (NCPs), including the H3/H4 deacetylation states, the alternative deacetylation state, the linker tightening state, and a state in which Rpd3S co-exists with the Hho1 linker histone on NCP. These structures suggest that Rpd3S utilizes a conserved Sin3 basic surface to navigate through the nucleosomal DNA, guided by its interactions with H3K36 methylation and the extra-nucleosomal DNA linkers, to target acetylated H3K9 and sample other histone tails. Furthermore, our structures illustrate that Rpd3S reconfigures the DNA linkers and acts in concert with Hho1 to engage the NCP, potentially unraveling how Rpd3S and Hho1 work in tandem for gene silencing.

Abstract
Shelterin and nucleosomes are the key players that organize mammalian chromosome ends into the protective telomere caps. However, how they interact with each other at telomeres remains unknown. We report cryo-electron microscopy structures of a human telomeric nucleosome both unbound and bound to the shelterin factor TRF1. Our structures reveal that TRF1 binds unwrapped nucleosomal DNA ends by engaging both the nucleosomal DNA and the histone octamer. Unexpectedly, TRF1 binding shifts the register of the nucleosomal DNA by 1 bp. We discovered that phosphorylation of the TRF1 C terminus and a noncanomical DNA binding surface on TRF1 are critical for its association with telomeric nucleosomes. These insights into shelterin-chromatin interactions have crucial implications for understanding telomeric chromatin organization and other roles of shelterin at telomeres including replication and transcription.

Abstract
Unlike other chromatin remodelers, INO80 preferentially mobilizes hexasomes, which can form during transcription. Why INO80 prefers hexasomes over nucleosomes remains unclear. Here, we report structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae INO80 bound to a hexasome or a nucleosome. INO80 binds the two substrates in substantially different orientations. On a hexasome, INO80 places its ATPase subunit, Ino80, at superhelical location -2 (SHL -2), in contrast to SHL -6 and SHL -7, as previously seen on nucleosomes. Our results suggest that INO80 action on hexasomes resembles action by other remodelers on nucleosomes such that Ino80 is maximally active near SHL -2. The SHL -2 position also plays a critical role for nucleosome remodeling by INO80. Overall, the mechanistic adaptations used by INO80 for preferential hexasome sliding imply that subnucleosomal particles play considerable regulatory roles.

Abstract
Single-particle cryo-EM is widely used to determine enzyme-nucleosome complex structures. However, cryo-EM sample preparation remains challenging and inconsistent due to complex denaturation at the air-water interface (AWI). To address this issue, we developed graphene-oxide-coated EM grids functionalized with either single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or thiol-poly(acrylic acid-co-styrene) (TAASTY) co-polymer. These grids protect complexes between the chromatin remodeler SNF2h and nucleosomes from the AWI and facilitated collection of high-quality micrographs of intact SNF2h-nucleosome complexes in the absence of crosslinking. The data yields maps ranging from 2.3 to 3 Å in resolution. 3D variability analysis reveals nucleotide-state linked conformational changes in SNF2h bound to a nucleosome. In addition, the analysis provides structural evidence for asymmetric coordination between two SNF2h protomers acting on the same nucleosome. We envision these grids will enable similar detailed structural analyses for other enzyme-nucleosome complexes and possibly other protein-nucleic acid complexes in general.

Abstract
The chicken genome is one-third the size of the human genome and has a similarity of sixty percent when it comes to gene content. Harboring similar genome sequences, chickens' gene arrangement is closer to the human genomic organization than it is to rodents. Chickens have been used as model organisms to study evolution, epigenome, and diseases. The chicken nucleated erythrocyte's physiological function is to carry oxygen to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide. The erythrocyte also supports the innate immune response in protecting the chicken from pathogens. Among the highly studied aspects in the field of epigenetics are modifications of DNA, histones, and their variants. In understanding the organization of transcriptionally active chromatin, studies on the chicken nucleated erythrocyte have been important. Through the application of a variety of epigenomic approaches, we and others have determined the chromatin structure of expressed/poised genes involved in the physiological functions of the erythrocyte. As the chicken erythrocyte has a nucleus and is readily isolated from the animal, the chicken erythrocyte epigenome has been studied as a biomarker of an animal's long-term exposure to stress. In this review, epigenomic features that allow erythroid gene expression in a highly repressive chromatin background are presented.

Abstract
The Swi2/Snf2 family transcription regulator Modifier of Transcription 1 (Mot1) uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to dissociate and reallocate the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) from and between promoters. To reveal how Mot1 removes TBP from TATA box DNA, we determined cryogenic electron microscopy structures that capture different states of the remodeling reaction. The resulting molecular video reveals how Mot1 dissociates TBP in a process that, intriguingly, does not require DNA groove tracking. Instead, the motor grips DNA in the presence of ATP and swings back after ATP hydrolysis, moving TBP to a thermodynamically less stable position on DNA. Dislodged TBP is trapped by a chaperone element that blocks TBP's DNA binding site. Our results show how Swi2/Snf2 proteins can remodel protein-DNA complexes through DNA bending without processive DNA tracking and reveal mechanistic similarities to RNA gripping DEAD box helicases and RIG-I-like immune sensors.

Abstract
Interaction scaffolds that selectively recognize disordered protein strongly shape protein interactomes. An important scaffold of this type that contributes to transcription is the TFIIS N-terminal domain (TND). The TND is a five-helical bundle that has no known enzymatic activity, but instead selectively reads intrinsically disordered sequences of other proteins. Here, we review the structural and functional properties of TNDs and their cognate disordered ligands known as TND-interacting motifs (TIMs). TNDs or TIMs are found in prominent members of the transcription machinery, including TFIIS, super elongation complex, SWI/SNF, Mediator, IWS1, SPT6, PP1-PNUTS phosphatase, elongin, H3K36me3 readers, the transcription factor MYC, and others. We also review how the TND interactome contributes to the regulation of transcription. Because the TND is the most significantly enriched fold among transcription elongation regulators, TND- and TIM-driven interactions have widespread roles in the regulation of many transcriptional processes.

Abstract
The nucleosomal landscape of chromatin depends on the concerted action of chromatin remodelers. The INO80 remodeler specifically places nucleosomes at the boundary of gene regulatory elements, which is proposed to be the result of an ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding activity that is regulated by extranucleosomal DNA features. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy and functional assays to reveal how INO80 binds and is regulated by extranucleosomal DNA. Structures of the regulatory A-module bound to DNA clarify the mechanism of linker DNA binding. The A-module is connected to the motor unit via an HSA/post-HSA lever element to chemomechanically couple the motor and linker DNA sensing. Two notable sites of curved DNA recognition by coordinated action of the four actin/actin-related proteins and the motor suggest how sliding by INO80 can be regulated by extranucleosomal DNA features. Last, the structures clarify the recruitment of YY1/Ies4 subunits and reveal deep architectural similarities between the regulatory modules of INO80 and SWI/SNF complexes.

Abstract
Structural and biochemical studies have identified a histone surface on each side of the nucleosome disk termed 'the nucleosome acidic patch' that acts as a regulatory hub for the function of numerous nuclear proteins, including ATP-dependent chromatin complexes (remodelers). Four major remodeler subfamilies, SWI/SNF, ISWI, CHD, and INO80, have distinct modes of interaction with one or both nucleosome acidic patches, contributing to their specific remodeling outcomes. Genome-wide sequencing analyses of various human cancers have uncovered high-frequency mutations in histone coding genes, including some that map to the acidic patch. How cancer-related acidic patch histone mutations affect nucleosome remodeling is mainly unknown. Recent advances in in vitro chromatin reconstitution have enabled access to physiologically relevant nucleosomes, including asymmetric nucleosomes that possess both wild-type and acidic patch mutant histone copies. Biochemical investigation of these substrates revealed unexpected remodeling outcomes with far-reaching implications for alteration of chromatin structure. This review summarizes recent findings of how different remodeler families interpret wild-type and mutant acidic patches for their remodeling functions and discusses models for remodeler-mediated changes in chromatin landscapes as a consequence of acidic patch mutations.
