Title Genome-wide Replication-independent H3 Exchange Occurs Predominantly at Promoters and Implicates H3K56ac and Asf1
Organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Experiment type Genome binding/occupancy profiling by genome tiling array
Summary In yeast, histone H3/H4 exchange independent of replication is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the deposition of histone H3 molecules, synthesized during G1, using a high-density microarray histone exchange assay. While we found that H3 exchange in coding regions requires high levels of transcription, promoters exchange H3 molecules in absence of transcription. In inactive promoters, H3 is deposited predominantly in well-positioned nucleosomes surrounding nucleosome free regions, indicating that some nucleosomes in promoters are dynamic. This could facilitate induction of repressed genes. Importantly, we show that histone H3 K56 acetylation, a replication-associated mark, is also present in replication-independent newly assembled nucleosomes and correlates perfectly with the deposition of new H3. Finally, we found that transcription-dependent incorporation of H3 at promoters is highly dependent on Asf1. Taken together our data underline the dynamic nature of replication-independent nucleosome assembly/disassembly, specify a link to transcription and implicate Asf1 and H3 K56 acetylation.

Overall design To analyze histone H3 dynamics we used an experimental system based on the method developed to study chromatin reassembly at the PHO5 promoter upon repression (Schermer et al., 2005) and coupled it to high-resolution microarrays. In this system there are two different sources of histone H3 in the cell, the endogenous histone tagged with the Myc epitope and a galactose-inducible form fused to the Flag tag coexpressed with histone H4. In order to eliminate the contribution of DNA replication-dependant histone deposition, exponentially growing cells containing the double tag system are blocked in G1 with alpha-factor. After incubation with alpha-factor, cells are either fixed or induced to express Flag-H3 prior to formaldehyde treatment. Next, the level of Myc-H3, Flag-H3, and RNAP II are assayed either by standard ChIP-QPCR or by ChIP-chip using tiling path DNA microarrays (Guillemette et al., 2005; Pokholok et al., 2005).

The raw data were corrected (foreground-background) then normalized using the limma's loess function (Yang et al., 2002) in BioConductor (from the ArrayPipe Analysis Pipeline (Hokamp et al., 2004)) and replicates were combined using a weighted average method as described previously (Ren et al., 2000, Pokholok et al., 2005).

Histone H3 exchange in WT and in the asf1Δ mutant, RNAPII occupancy, and H3 K56 acetylation experiments were done in duplicate, the Asf1-dependence of H3 exchange was assayed in triplicate, and the MNase ChIP-chip experiment once. The combined datasets are available in the supplemental files of the original publication.
