Abstract
Micrococcal nuclease sequencing is the state-of-the-art method for determining chromatin structure and nucleosome positioning. Data analysis is complex due to the AT-dependent sequence bias of the endonuclease and the requirement for high sequencing depth. Here, we present the nucleosome-based MNase accessibility (nucMACC) pipeline unveiling the regulatory chromatin landscape by measuring nucleosome accessibility and stability. The nucMACC pipeline represents a systematic and genome-wide approach for detecting unstable ("fragile") nucleosomes. We have characterized the regulatory nucleosome landscape in Drosophila melanogaster, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and mammals. Two functionally distinct sets of promoters were characterized, one associated with an unstable nucleosome and the other being nucleosome depleted. We show that unstable nucleosomes present intermediate states of nucleosome remodeling, preparing inducible genes for transcriptional activation in response to stimuli or stress. The presence of unstable nucleosomes correlates with RNA polymerase II proximal pausing. The nucMACC pipeline offers unparalleled precision and depth in nucleosome research and is a valuable tool for future nucleosome studies.

Abstract
Eukaryotic gene expression is linked to chromatin structure and nucleosome positioning by ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers that establish and maintain nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) near transcription start sites. Conserved yeast RSC and ISW2 remodelers exert antagonistic effects on nucleosomes flanking NDRs, but the temporal dynamics of remodeler search, engagement, and directional nucleosome mobilization for promoter accessibility are unknown. Using optical tweezers and two-color single-particle imaging, we investigated the Brownian diffusion of RSC and ISW2 on free DNA and sparse nucleosome arrays. RSC and ISW2 rapidly scan DNA by one-dimensional hopping and sliding, respectively, with dynamic collisions between remodelers followed by recoil or apparent co-diffusion. Static nucleosomes block remodeler diffusion resulting in remodeler recoil or sequestration. Remarkably, both RSC and ISW2 use ATP hydrolysis to translocate mono-nucleosomes processively at ~30 bp/s on extended linear DNA under tension. Processivity and opposing push-pull directionalities of nucleosome translocation shown by RSC and ISW2 shape the distinctive landscape of promoter chromatin.

Abstract
Nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP1) binds to histone H2A-H2B heterodimers, mediating their deposition on and eviction from the nucleosome. Human NAP1 (hNAP1) consists of a dimerization core domain and intrinsically disordered C-terminal acidic domain (CTAD), both of which are essential for H2A-H2B binding. Several structures of NAP1 proteins bound to H2A-H2B exhibit binding polymorphisms of the core domain, but the distinct structural roles of the core and CTAD domains remain elusive. Here, we have examined dynamic structures of the full-length hNAP1 dimer bound to one and two H2A-H2B heterodimers by integrative methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of full-length hNAP1 showed CTAD binding to H2A-H2B. Atomic force microscopy revealed that hNAP1 forms oligomers of tandem repeated dimers; therefore, we generated a stable dimeric hNAP1 mutant exhibiting the same H2A-H2B binding affinity as wild-type hNAP1. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC), multi-angle light scattering (MALS) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), followed by modelling and molecular dynamics simulations, have been used to reveal the stepwise dynamic complex structures of hNAP1 binding to one and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The first H2A-H2B dimer binds mainly to the core domain of hNAP1, while the second H2A-H2B binds dynamically to both CTADs. Based on our findings, we present a model of the eviction of H2A-H2B from nucleosomes by NAP1.

Abstract
Hexasomes and tetrasomes are intermediates in nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Their formation is promoted by histone chaperones, ATP-dependent remodelers, and RNA polymerase II. In addition, hexasomes are maintained in transcribed genes and could be an important regulatory factor. While nucleosome composition has been shown to affect the structure and accessibility of DNA, its influence on histone tails is largely unknown. Here, we investigate the conformational dynamics of the H3 tail in the hexasome and tetrasome. Using a combination of NMR spectroscopy, MD simulations, and trypsin proteolysis, we find that the conformational ensemble of the H3 tail is regulated by nucleosome composition. As has been found for the nucleosome, the H3 tails bind robustly to DNA within the hexasome and tetrasome, but upon loss of the H2A/H2B dimer, we determined that the adjacent H3 tail has an altered conformational ensemble, increase in dynamics, and increase in accessibility. Similar to observations of DNA dynamics, this is seen to be asymmetric in the hexasome. Our results indicate that nucleosome composition has the potential to regulate chromatin signaling and ultimately help shape the chromatin landscape.

Disruption of NAP1 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana suppresses the fas1 mutant phenotype, enhances genome stability and changes chromatin compaction. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2021; 106:56-73. [PMID: 33368779 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.15145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Histone chaperones mediate the assembly and disassembly of nucleosomes and participate in essentially all DNA-dependent cellular processes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, loss-of-function of FAS1 or FAS2 subunits of the H3-H4 histone chaperone complex CHROMATIN ASSEMBLY FACTOR 1 (CAF-1) has a dramatic effect on plant morphology, growth and overall fitness. CAF-1 dysfunction can lead to altered chromatin compaction, systematic loss of repetitive elements or increased DNA damage, clearly demonstrating its severity. How chromatin composition is maintained without functional CAF-1 remains elusive. Here we show that disruption of the H2A-H2B histone chaperone NUCLEOSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN 1 (NAP1) suppresses the FAS1 loss-of-function phenotype. The quadruple mutant fas1 nap1;1 nap1;2 nap1;3 shows wild-type growth, decreased sensitivity to genotoxic stress and suppression of telomere and 45S rDNA loss. Chromatin of fas1 nap1;1 nap1;2 nap1;3 plants is less accessible to micrococcal nuclease and the nuclear H3.1 and H3.3 histone pools change compared to fas1. Consistently, association between NAP1 and H3 occurs in the cytoplasm and nucleus in vivo in protoplasts. Altogether we show that NAP1 proteins play an essential role in DNA repair in fas1, which is coupled to nucleosome assembly through modulation of H3 levels in the nucleus.

Abstract
The remodel the structure of chromatin (RSC) nucleosome remodeling complex is a conserved chromatin regulator with roles in chromatin organization, especially over nucleosome depleted regions therefore functioning in gene expression. Recent reports in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified specificities in RSC activity toward certain types of nucleosomes. RSC has now been shown to preferentially evict nucleosomes containing the histone variant H2A.Z in vitro. Furthermore, biochemical activities of distinct RSC complexes has been found to differ when their nucleosome substrate is partially unraveled. Mammalian BAF complexes, the homologs of yeast RSC and SWI/SNF complexes, are also linked to nucleosomes with H2A.Z, but this relationship may be complex and extent of conservation remains to be determined. The interplay of remodelers with specific nucleosome substrates and regulation of remodeler outcomes by nucleosome composition are tantalizing questions given the wave of structural data emerging for RSC and other SWI/SNF family remodelers.

Abstract
Transcription of a chromatin template involves the concerted interaction of many different proteins and protein complexes. Analyses of specific factors showed that these interactions change during stress and upon developmental switches. However, how the binding of multiple factors at any given locus is coordinated has been technically challenging to investigate. Here we used Epi-Decoder in yeast to systematically decode, at one transcribed locus, the chromatin binding changes of hundreds of proteins in parallel upon perturbation of transcription. By taking advantage of improved Epi-Decoder libraries, we observed broad rewiring of local chromatin proteomes following chemical inhibition of RNA polymerase. Rapid reduction of RNA polymerase II binding was accompanied by reduced binding of many other core transcription proteins and gain of chromatin remodelers. In quiescent cells, where strong transcriptional repression is induced by physiological signals, eviction of the core transcriptional machinery was accompanied by the appearance of quiescent cell–specific repressors and rewiring of the interactions of protein-folding factors and metabolic enzymes. These results show that Epi-Decoder provides a powerful strategy for capturing the temporal binding dynamics of multiple chromatin proteins under varying conditions and cell states. The systematic and comprehensive delineation of dynamic local chromatin proteomes will greatly aid in uncovering protein–protein relationships and protein functions at the chromatin template.

Abstract
Nucleosomes, the fundamental organizing units of eukaryotic genomes, contain ∼146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone H3–H4 tetramer and two histone H2A–H2B dimers. Converting nucleosomes into hexasomes by removal of a H2A–H2B dimer is an important regulatory event, but its regulation and functional consequences are not well-understood. To investigate the influence of hexasomes on DNA accessibility, we used the property of the Widom-601 Nucleosome Positioning Sequence (NPS) to form homogeneously oriented hexasomes in vitro. We find that DNA accessibility to transcription factors (TF) on the hexasome H2A–H2B distal side is identical to naked DNA, while the accessibility on the H2A–H2B proximal side is reduced by 2-fold, which is due to a 2-fold reduction in hexasome unwrapping probability. We then determined that a 23 bp region of the Widom-601 NPS is responsible for forming homogeneously oriented hexasomes. Analysis of published ChIP-exo data of hexasome containing genes identified two DNA sequence motifs that correlate with hexasome orientation in vivo, while ExoIII mapping studies of these sequences revealed they generate homogeneously oriented hexasomes in vitro. These results indicate that hexasome orientation, which is influenced by the underlying DNA sequence in vivo, is important for modulating DNA accessibility to regulate transcription.

Abstract
Eukaryotes have evolved a specific strategy to package DNA. The nucleosome is a 147-base-pair DNA segment wrapped around histone core proteins that plays important roles regulating DNA-dependent biosynthesis and gene expression. Chromatin remodeling complexes (RSC, Remodel the Structure of Chromatin) hydrolyze ATP to perturb DNA-histone contacts, leading to nucleosome sliding and ejection. Here, we utilized tethered particle motion (TPM) experiments to investigate the mechanism of RSC-mediated nucleosome remodeling in detail. We observed ATP-dependent RSC-mediated DNA looping and nucleosome ejection along individual mononucleosomes and dinucleosomes. We found that nucleosome assembly protein 1 (Nap1) enhanced RSC-mediated nucleosome ejection in a two-step disassembly manner from dinucleosomes but not from mononucleosomes. Based on this work, we provide an entire reaction scheme for the RSC-mediated nucleosome remodeling process that includes DNA looping, nucleosome ejection, the influence of adjacent nucleosomes, and the coordinated action between Nap1 and RSC.
